I’m starting to save some of the more interesting names that come through my spam folder, just in case I ever have a novel to write and can’t come up with names for my characters. Some of the good ones this week: Topsy Babin Boutros Hersom Epiphany Scalia Mairwen Luter Jacinta Hiltz So who’s been trying to sell you L0wPricce Medz? Replica Rolexes? I want _names_! ---

**Mohamed Shultz** is promising me pre-approval for a home loan! **Nasty Helen** claims to have spotted me on Yahoo!Messenger **Elvia Friend** “This is most modern and safe way not to cover with shame” In addition, I have: **Csaba Sutphin Viljami Satcher Akilah Chantelle corbett gnome Hung Montano** I also get a lot of spam from someone called **Final Notice**. This would be a good thread to fish for a new user name. ---

Great thread. I’ve recieved emails from **Jon Lovitz** and **Jennifer Tilly.** I’ve also been hit up by a bevy of international businesspeople: **Achmed Mohammed** : “they will do anything for money cut flies” **Trevor Peacock**" “college fu-iuking would frame” **Gunther Jenson**" “they plaing with ku-um key apple” And just last week **Angus Abdul** offered me “fuk on farm video :-)” If I could find him, I’d knock off his turban, then kick him under his kilt. ---

I just deleted my spam before starting to surf the **SDMB** , or else I’d have noted the names of my latest would-be electronic “pen” pals (some of whom should be in the “pen” for fraud). [QUOTE=Argent Towers] I’ve recieved emails from **Jon Lovitz** and **Jennifer Tilly.** [/QUOTE] About a month ago, I received no fewer than seven solicitations (over about a week’s span) from **Frank Herbert** , who invited me to do everything from Meet a very sexy girl now to Get best prices on C!ali$ and other medz. Guess the author of _Dune_ has found a way to communicate from beyond the grave – gives a whole new meaning to the concept of the **Ether** net! ---

I have a long list of interesting spam names, but the three I want to party with are: Arachnid Q. Landownder Farted H. Corrugate Klingon D. Leavening ---

Anytime I get an email with First name, middle initial, and last name, I can 99% guarantee it’s a spam. ---

Aww, I send e-mail with First, Middle, Last. Damn it, Jim, I’m a professor, not a spammer! Linseed V. Shoshana ---

I have received word about my penis options from these gentlemen within the past week: Clement Emery Lenard Moody reade eduardo sends this melancholic and inexplicable message: “As uneasy as a cat near water. Plant kindness and gather love. Sow dry and set wet. Want my place in the sun. Shit happens. Putting it in a nutshell. Raking in the dough. Two peas in a pod. There is always next year. Worked night and day. A stepping stone to. Tools of the trade. When we love - we grow. Water under the bridge. A place in the sun. Sour as a green apple. Tools of the trade. Tall as a tree. Useless as tits on bull.”
