In my INBOX this morning:
"Eliminate Annoying Pop-up Ads!"
Yes, and do it with annoying spam!

Oh, dear me, wintercolours January 28 2003, 08:35:08 UTC

it's a good thing I wasn't chewing any oatmeal when I read this or my roommate's laptop would've been COVERED in it! Ha!

That'd be nice! wintercolours January 28 2003, 08:36:35 UTC

I suspect they wouldn't update their spam list, so even after we'd eliminated annoying pop-ups we'd still have to deal with the annoying spams about the now-absent pop-ups! I tell you, there's just no way to win! :p

God no, I bet they'd put your e-mail address on a special "this person buys stuff advertized via spam!" list, and sell it all over the place. Probably get good money for it, too.

They are always asking me about debt.

Me too wintercolours January 28 2003, 09:04:15 UTC

Of course my response is always to bow and grovel: "You, random sender of spam on the Internet, can help me with my debt?!" I thank the heavens above that I have these guardian angels looking out for my best interests!

"Oh you. Advertising on unseen web pages and in spam only adds to your credibility. I shall forgoe going to a high street bank and entrust all my money to you, oh wise one:)"

All of mine apparently think that I have a small penis.

No... that is not as bad as what happened to me the night of Friday, January 24th. I am sitting alone in my room, there's a candle on the table behind me that is for some reason, glowing dimmer than usual. The wind blowing the snow around outside. The sleet pounding against the roof. Everything is quiet. I turn to look at my desk... and there, sitting on my screen was a pop-up. It reads: "ELIMINATE POP-UPS WITH THE POP-UP ELIMINATOR!!" I shrill at first and then I faint from the mix of fear and excitement.
