Multiple-Personality Spammer

Travis Seitler — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:33:56 +0000

I get lots and LOTS of spam, and it typically gets a subject line once-over before it’s tossed out with the banana peels and DirecTV mailers.

Well, this one gave me pause. Then it confused me. Then I was convinced that I had a moral obligation to share it with all of you!

This is an e-mail I received from Clair. Or maybe it’s from Kristina:

Here’s some Very Interesting Things that jumped out at me:

She claims to have “closely read [my] profile” (only God knows what profile she’s referring to), yet has somehow gotten the (wrong) idea that I’m either unmarried or willing to cheat on my wife. (“I looking for serious relations.”)
She’s under the impression that I’m dirt-poor. (“For me are not necessary money.”)
She called me ugly! (“The external beauty for me too is not important.”)
Here’s the kicker, and it’s what made her request for “the man will concern to me” so gosh-darned tempting: people, at the free time she likes to go to DISCO!

But nope! Sorry, Ms. Whoever-you-think-your-name-is… I already got a wife off the Internet.

All love enhancers on one portal!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist! Do you ever get spam with that subject line? I sure do. It’s really annoying, isn’t it? I mean, you don’t need pills to enhance your love life… you need the grace of God. So here’s a few means of grace that’ll enhance your love far more than any ol’ pills ever could:

Simply Romantic Nights
Nicole and I were given this as a wedding gift (thanks, Uncle Andy and Aunt Bev!), and we love it so much we got a copy for my brother Jordan and his wife, Naomi for their birthdays. (Their b-days are only a day apart, so we can get away with that sort of thing.) Great marriage-building stuff in there — especially the don’t-talk-about-it-in-front-of-Grandmom stuff.
Sex And The Supremacy Of Christ
This is a great book — I’ve even reviewed it here at the Second Mouse. This book packs a wallop, pointing out how a right understanding of Jesus and a right understanding of sexuality go hand-in-hand. Definitely one-of-a-kind on the market today…
Sex, Romance And The Glory Of God (What Every Christian Husband Needs To Know)
While I haven’t read this book, I know it’s based on C.J. Mahaney’s marriage retreat material. So I know it’s golden.
Love That Lasts (When Marriage Meets Grace)
Okay, I’m reaching a bit here. All I know about this one is that it’s regularly recommended in my circles. Disagree? Feel free to leave a comment explaining why, and you might just win my Blogathon comment contest!

Of course, if you equate love with eros rather than agapao, you’ll probably disagree. Well, tough noogies: I’m right, and you’re wrong! HA!

Well, that’s ONE way to get rid of comment spam…

Apparently y’all have been getting an error message every time you try to leave a comment. Shame on you! You should have e-mailed me! (Okay, those of you who had my e-mail address.) My darling wife just let me know, … Continue reading →

DCML: the Disney Comics Mailing List

DCML gets mentioned in my circles quite a bit, but it took me a bit of digging to find out where it was!

Anyway, since I like y’all so very much, I’ll make it easy for you: if you want to learn far more about Disney Comics then you ever thought possible, swing on over to the Disney Comics Mailing List and sign up! It’s free! Folks around the world participate! Some messages are in foreign languages!

But yeah, I get a kick out of it. =)
