game: best spam

Esteemed webmaster John has reintroduced us to the art of headline writing in his weblog. I submit that some of the best descriptive writing can be found in the subject lines of spam email.

That one is a riot. The one that always gets me is the spam that says....Re: Regarding your cash prize..., or this one---"Bigger Breast Size in Three Days, Guaranteed!! I mean, COME ON!! If these silly people only KNEW what torture I endured in my early life for just having big "tig-o-biddies", they'd be ashamed. I'm soo sorry, but having big breasts isn't all that. The money shelled out for four-and-five hook bras, the embarassment of never being able to wear a swimsuit properly, jogging and feeling like two anvils are attached to your chest, and the list goes on and on....these people who post these things really need a LIFE.

Dang...I've never gotten that email...I wouldn't mind having some breasts to fondle. (errrr, did I just say that out loud?)

I've always assumed the spam addressed to me involved a really painful procedure. And I'm not sure even 150% would be worth that kind of pain. (And what if something truly horrible went wrong with the procedure?!)

Of course....I know a truly natural way to go about it, but it doesn't seem to last.

I received this email yesterday (verbatim):

Dear ,

Please correct your address on our system today so we can ship your gift à the J Win Stereo Cassette Player with Bass Boost!

There was a link where could click and change their address. (I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce a name like " ")

But since it wasn't addressed to me, I didn't respond. Instead, I forwarded it to .
