The thread title is the subject line of an e-mail spam message I have in my spambox. I love looking through my spambox to read all the hilarious subject lines.

Such hits included are:

[ul]  
[li]Infection in our cinema[/li][li]Obama broke his leg[/li][li]That the sun itself[/li][li]vermengbaar[/li][li]Scandalous! Aguilara and Norris[/li][li]maanvormige[/li][li]With that concession, Soros signed the documents Soros promised[/li][li]Need mouse to become tiger?[/li][li]Suck it.[/li][li]Make your zipper knight the best in the whole town[/li][li]I wanna worry you[/li][li]onmeetlikheid[/li][li]Power drillo won’t be flaccid[/li][/ul]

How can you not love such whimsy? Okay, you share now.

On a more serious note, why is it that some of these are sent by “me”? How bad is this?

The names in the “from” column are often amusing:

Puetz Stanford  
Zona Faqpu  
Dwana Sidikj  
Pontes MIchale  
Grauel Monserratte  
Earlene Ebazuezy

There was one with the title, “HELLO ME NOT DEAD” and an annoyed elmo climbing out of a coffin. Pretty funny.

Also, one of my spams used the euphemism “dignity” to refer to a penis, so I started referring to one’s dignity with my brother, if I wanted to keep sexual meaning cryptic to others.

Just to let you know that those three mean ‘mixable’, ‘crescent shaped’ and ‘inmeasurable’, in that order. Makes you want to know what they are talking about…

Mine for today were:

[ul]  
[li] Why weren’t you there?[/li][li] Megan Fox raped a criminal[/li][li] Hallo The day of love[/li][li] For non-muslim users only[/li][/ul]

Maybe it’s time for a consecutive spam post thread sometime?

My favorite one that I got recently was:

Men with big members don’t have to go down on their girlfriends

Of all the reasons for a guy to want a bigger penis, I don’t think that one ever crossed my mind. Are there really guys out there thinking “Man, I hate giving my girlfriend oral. But what can I do about it?”

Same here. Spam subject lines are so crazy!

So it’s been a week and I’ve gotten a few decent spam subject lines:

[ul]  
[li]Hot Aniston Vulgar Video[/li][li]Watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Clips\*[/li][li]Having a bigger tool is not a dream, it[big black square]s reality[/li][li]List of your mistakes[/li][li]If you love your wife, give your best to them (them?)[/li][li]Let your pink do the thing. Try it today (My pink?)[/li][li]Heal for your woody![/li][/ul]

\*This one was from MySpace, but I’m pretty sure I told them not to send me any shit other than message notifications, so I sent it where it belongs. The spam folder. Upon some actual thought, now my notifications are going to get sent to my spam folder and I’ll have to unmark Myspace as a spam sender. Shit.

How about everyone else? Get any good spam subject lines in the past week?

Yep. A few. Some of these work great as sequential spam too.

[ul]  
[li] Dad’s fishing trip fotos[/li][li] Unknown Format[/li][li] Know Andrew’s Surname[/li][li] Reply, you, motherf-r!\*[/li][/ul]

- You know it’s gonna be a bad day when even you spam starts to swear at you.  
The earlier translation was from Dutch by the way, with a few spellng mistakes. What are spammer thinking? they really think Dutch is a common enough language to send spam with?

I love that last one! It is indeed a bad sign when your spam is cussing you out. :-/

I even got one of my own, not nearly as harsh as yours though:

[ul]  
[li]Hey, pal, damn you![/ul][/li]From someone named Levon Deprey

On a quick second search I came upon the following gems that I’m not sure how I missed:

[ul]  
[li]Incredible Hulk?s choice is the new incredible Cialis![/li][li]Your pork pistol won’t fail[/ul][/li]  
That’s right, my pork pistol. :dubious:
