I got this very weird SPAM in my webmaster mailbox today. It’s kind of fun to read actually.
Subject: Well, I’ve heard it pronounced both ways.
It’s all so simple when you put it that way, you poor, miserable bastards.
I have a very simple policy concerning unexpected doorbells: I treat them in the same way as television commercials, would-be hitchhikers, or lost children at the airport. It’s the sort of thing that was fascinating to visit, once.
Remarkably, neither of them called me on the ruse.
Most of them wouldn’t even have the bottomless iced tea.
RRR
Then there was some stock market spam.
Then followed some more stream-of-consciousness writing. Pretty fun to read actually.
I have manually uninstalled everything on the lists in your readme file.
Hopefully, I’ll have plenty of travel and hotel stories soon, and should return safely to our regularly scheduled nonsense late Friday night. As I slipped into a sweet food coma, I could just make out the smoke escaping my boss’ collar as he dropped his AmEx for the check.
If it rains, it rains.
But she was going to lose some sleep over it, dammit.
Having a clever turn of phrase deemed ‘functionally fixed’ seemed a mysterious and arbitrary decision, but we could hardly fight it. Or even a giddyup transplant.
I can’t possibly be the only one.
But when I mention it now, I spend the night on the couch.
Hope that other leg grows out for you. I’m not looking forward to that.
After satisfying all of your stated conditions, I have been unable to make your stupid installer work. Then again, I can barely tie my own shoes, so maybe I’m not the best person to judge by.
And anyway, screw ’em. And anyway, screw ’em. He didn’t get it to you?
well, in the fall, New England weather does whatever the hell it wants to do, often in the space of an hour.
By one pm on Friday, I was back on an airbus, speeding toward home.
After that, you can fall back on the ‘winter blahs’, ‘spring fever’, and summer vacation time to keep the shirking streak alive. It’s just that it’s a little creepy, too.
But the first meal, before the road has beaten you down and the trip has gone all to hell, is fair game. He’s never seen me limp before; maybe he thinks I’m faking it. On paper, Body Worlds is an educational and unique display of anatomical structure and comparative physiology. It’s what I imagine visiting a bordello would be like.
So I stumbled down to the door. But she was going to lose some sleep over it, dammit.
Me, I start celebrating on the Monday of Thanksgiving week, where ‘celebrating’ means ‘stubbornly slacking off in the spirit of the season’. By the time the encounter ended, she was in a huff, he was pissed at being woken up, and I was biting my lip, trying desperately not to break up laughing. In other words, not concerned at all.
What’s a ‘booby bar’? It’s the sort of thing that was fascinating to visit, once. They’d lived here considerably longer than our two weeks in town, and we trusted them to take us to Boston’s finest areas.
I’ll catch up with you this weekend. What’s a ‘booby bar’? Juicy details at eleven!
But it’s pronounced FAN-yuhl.
Or better yet, a good circus. Me, I start celebrating on the Monday of Thanksgiving week, where ‘celebrating’ means ‘stubbornly slacking off in the spirit of the season’.
