I don’t know how else to do this and make it fair as it’s becoming rather difficult to keep up with who wants an account vs who has received, etc. I have two invites to give away. I’ll give them to the next two people that email me at [siberia@gmail.com](mailto:siberia@gmail.com). ---

That was fast! The invites are all gone! ---

**Siberia** - thanks so much! Email me with what you’d like, and where I should send it. ---

Dear Uncle Cecil, For my 500th post, I’d really really really really really love a gmail account. Pretty please. With chocolate-dipped lesbians on top. ---

I’d love a gmail account too, if someone with an extra invite would be so kind. spiralscratch\_42 at [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com) Gracias. ---

If anyone has a spare Gmail account registration, I would be most grateful, especially as Yahoo! seems to have gotten more unreliable the past few weeks, and is now totally inaccessable for me (a bad thing during a job search!). My backup email–th e only one I can currently access–is angelofthelord at [catholic.org](http://catholic.org) I don’t know what I could do to earn it, but I’m definately open to suggestions. Just, er, not ones that’re going to upset Mr. Angel-to-be :). ---

Ah, shameless mooching, truly one of life’s great pleasures. :D. If anyone would like to provide me with a gmail account, I’ll give you a shout-out on Roger Williams University’s WQRI radio station - 88.3 FM in scenic Bristol, Rhode Island. I’ll praise your wit, generosity, good looks, whatever you like. Heck, if you like, I’ll even praise your sexual prowess. Male, female or other - it might be a little tough to do this in a way the FCC won’t fine me for, but I’m a creative guy, I can do it. 😃 Whaddaya say? email emaron212 @ rwu.edu if you’re like to demonstrate your generosity, good taste, and well-nigh irresistable sex appeal. ---

Hi! If anyone is out there still giving them away, I’d like one too! [bottledblondjeanie@yahoo.com](mailto:bottledblondjeanie@yahoo.com) And, in trade (I suppose you’ll respond only if you want one) I shall send a nudie pic! For further reference, please see January of the straightdope calendar. ---
