More precisely, I get spam, and a lot of it.
Since I have had the email addys over on the right hand column, I would say that the spam to the RNS e-maibox have tripled in frequency (if you care to take a look and see a way to legibly complicate things for the bots, let me know).
However, over the weekend, it finally yielded a kernal of teh funny for my troubles.
I don’t know what they’re seeling or promoting, because I haven’t opened it, but some spammer who sent me an email under the name “Selma McCabe” was attempting to get cutesy on us here at RNS. What it appears the spam program does is take part of the name of the email account and make a pet-name greeting out of it.
If the account was from a guy named “Mikey” it would have come out as “Mikeypants”, but because the name on the account is “RandomNuclearStrikes”, it came up as “Hi Randompants”.
My kind of girl. Any pants will do!
Now I’m waiting for them to go for the middle name. When I see “Hi Nuclearpants!” I may just accidentally open it while laughing. We all get flatulent. Some of us more than others. But I’ll be damed if air leaking out of me makes my pants glow.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
