Amusing spam

Some of the amusing spam which I have received. Note that some of it was reduced to its plain text part by my HTML stripper AppleScript on arrival, and thus does not look entirely like what the sender intended…

Spam fans are also likely to enjoy Steven Frank’s Spamusement – cartoons based on actual spam subject lines. TURN-key? Aw crap.


From “Ronny O. Maddox”: Your new penis is waiting for you (16th October 07)

I guess this is a mistaken order. Unlike later generations of H. sapiens I do not possess a modular urinary–reproductive system. We have to make do with classical methods for improving our manhoods.


From “Xianhong Hartzler”: Re: (13th Jun 07)

Hello my friend!I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog, if medicine prices here (...) are bad…

In that order?


From “Livingston”: Do you wish to increase your volume by up to 500%? (23rd June 06)

Absolutely! I just cannot crank the volume out of my sound card high enough. I am dying to bring about the total destruction of my inner ears. Bring it on.

Cigarette packet stickers

Those not in the UK may not know that as a legal requirement, we have warning labels on cigarette packets (e.g. “Smoking kills”) and, as someone in North America once said (paraphrased by memory), “it’s a wonder anyone over there smokes at all”. It seems someone wants to alleviate smokers’ guilty consciences, and to think that smoking already costs the losers involved enough money…


From “Menages C. Bellyache” (8th December 03)

The stolen name of someone with very unfortunate genealogy, or a spammer with a sense of humour?


Ave! (26th November 03)

Sorry, I don’t speak Latin. Welcome to 2003, the Roman Empire is long since gone. (Kind of like being in the Morlocks’ world in The Time Machine and watching that guy show up)

Someone enlighten me as to why the spam bot e-mailed me to tell me that it could not send the message?

A splendiferous display of mastering the spam bot!

Looks like the Grammar Police, Secret Service Division have caught up with me, leaving an untraceable e-mail to remind me that I need to use more full stops in my written work. I have been a naughty boy… (In all seriousness, this is exactly how the e-mail arrived, and I got two of them, from different addresses, sent to two different addresses at this site.)


Get the Latest Mobile Handsets phones… (18th June 03)

your browser does not support frames - click here <http://%77%77%77%2E%6D%6F%62%69%6C%65%34%62%69%7A%2E%63%6F%2E%75%6B/index.html>  to go to

Nifty, they’ve found a way to get my e-mail client to determine my current browser, and then go and ask it if it supports frames. Well, they tried, but failed, as they either slipped up in a conditional expression somewhere (iCab supports frames just fine) or mistakenly determined that MacLynx is my default browser :)

Want to feel 100 years younger?… (7th December 03)

If looking 20 years younger was not adequately dumb (it was bad enough being a baby the first time around), someone now wants my age to start pushing the time-space boundaries. I am sure I would look a strikingly handsome -77 year old though.
