ACHTUNG!
Totally cool! I can instantly speak fluent German! Well, I really can't, but through the utter coolness of the Google translator, I can! Check it out!

READIN', WRITIN' & RAMBLIN'
Two people in the last week have told me that I talk exactly like I write. I'd say that's a good compliment, and a good estimation too; I do write like I talk. So you can be assured that you, the reader, are getting the best that you can get! Reading this page is like discussing the most mundane subjects of life with me over a cup of coffee. Except I don't drink coffee, so it's more like a discussion over a Starbucks Frappuccino. But you know what I'm talking about--you're reading it!
BURYING THE DOONES
Okay, I don't get it. Last week my local paper refused to run a Doonesbury comic strip because it referenced masturbation. And since kids like to read the Sunday comics, they thought it would stir up questions in kids that parents wouldn't want to answer. Some papers ran it and some didn't. Okay, fine, no big deal.
But today's comic (9/16/03) makes reference to group sex and they had no qualms running that! Hmmm, what's worse, a pursuit you do by yourself in privacy, or a full fledged orgy of bodybuilders? I don't have anything personally against either, they're just fine and dandy. But it seems rather hypocritical on the newspaper's part. What, kids only read the Sunday comics? I know I didn't, black and white was just fine with me too. And second of all, what kid reads Doonesbury these days? I always skipped over that when I was a wee boy because it went way over my head. Heck, I don't get it half the time now. I guess what I'm saying is "be consistent."
*cough* Hypocrites! All of you! *ahem*
MORE SPAM FUN!
(read post below first if you haven't already) Another dumb email address today:
Sender / Subject
Nina / have her calling it "MOBY DICK"
But hey, look at the bright side, at least they're promoting reading, right? Right? *listen* What??...they aren't???
MAIL, NOT MEAT
Spam is the bane of my existence. And I'm not talking about the canned meat (although I'm not a big fan of that either). The amount of spam I get in my mail irritates me to no end. But some of these spammers' tactics make me laugh at their utter stupidity. Does anyone else get these emails with the DUMBEST sender/subject lines? Like, for example:
Sender / Subject
women all over have / used this to fill out
guochang beckham / W straaighten that bologna pony nnow wp
attention- you can / get those looking like a female p star
dont be scared to make / it gargantuan
or
grow@yourmember.big
get@your_degree.hre
If they point is to get people to read the emails, they're not doing a very good job. Who in their right mind would actually click on these to open them up? Especially with all these viruses going around. I mean, maybe sad losers who think there's a magic pill that will make your "member" bigger do, but NOBODY ELSE does. You'd think they'd get the hint sooner or later, but no, we're continually subjected to this junk day after day. But hey, look at the bright side, at least these dumb names are semi-amusing to small-minded folks like myself.
