Junk Mail

As a novelty of
journalism school
the student's he's seen
expanding their circle
about the way they
and it is a ray of hope.


Say what? The above are some of the junk mail subject lines that I have received over the last few days. I generally just pitch them out when I receive them but I thought I would share. Does anyone really expect people to read that email? I mean they could do like some of the other emails I get do. About the request; Here is the information you ask for; etc.

I think I will continue to play with me email titles and maybe I can put together a rather off 55Flash sometime. That would be fun. Oh man, this could be hard. The about is only 24 words. Maybe I can include the one offering me to by Adobe Photoshop Creative sweet for like $100 or something. That subject has lots of words but they are not as much fun. Oh well, I am going to have to save up subject lines.

I never even see my junk mail: it goes directly into the Junk Mail Folder. The problem is, I really need to occasionally look in that folder because, whenever I do, I find that some of the email Gmail assigned to the Junk Mail Folder ain’t junk mail.

Yes it seems daily we get tons of email. Think of what it would have been like had all that junk mail actually been mailed to us in our mailboxes. All those wasted trees.

Nick mine goes into a seperate folder too but I do try to clear it out. Usually I only get 1 to 5 per day so it is not to bad. And yes, I get some valid email dropped into the spam folder too.

I should look at my gamil account. I was getting 20 to 30 junk emails per day and it has been a month or two since I checked it. Yikes.

Gab, yep no trees but lots of poor innocent electrons get killed every day.

Little Wing, I left off some of the other things I get. They just were no fun what so ever. I am not sure if I can pull it off making a 55 but I figure if I save up subjects for a week or two we will see where it goes.

Yep Susie, I get some naughty ones too although they seem to have slowed down a bit. I never really payed a lot of attention who they came from because usually the subjects are such dead giveaways that I go no further and just hit delete. I need to start looking closer. Lets see, who would my spam name be? Maybe Bruce Studmuffin? You know, that almost sounds like something you would go to some WEB page, answer a few questions and be presented with your spam name.

Chad, I have been getting various forms of offers for Viagra. Sometimes the real deal, sometimes herbal version, most misspelled so the spam catcher will miss it but yahoo has been good and pitched it anyway. I get other things too. I just wonder where on earth I visited that I am being targeted for the Viagra. I do not ever remember looking that up but I must have once upon a wild browsing weekend or something.

That's why they misspell!
It keeps the spam catcher from getting them!
Wow thanks Bryan, I just learned something!

I only get the ones promising me to look or "hang" like Ron Jeremy. WTF? Why in the world would I want to be Ron Jeremy!!!

Too funny!!!

Thank goodness for the "bulk" file where all of my spam goes to and I delete it now before I even have to look at it.

One good thing, it's not wasting (as many) trees...right?

;o))
