This inspired by a Ms. Althea Ouellette, who just offered me “Discreet Packaging i i rrw g e h”. Now, Bob and Colin are regular visitors to my inbox, but Althea’s a new face (welcome, Althea!). I’m always entertained by spam senders’ names, because I assume they’re phony, but some (like Althea’s) are mighty creative. Anyone else want to share the name of your spammer? ---

I didn’t get any spam today, but for some reason most of what I’ve gotten in the last few months has been asking me whether I want my septic tank cleaned. Can’t remember the name though. ---

P. Thompson Q. Robbins R. Briggs R. Weng Hm, I wonder why they’re protecting their identities from me. I bet they’re afraid I’ll stalk them. I don’t know why they’re worried about it; I’ve only done that a few times and I always pay attention to the restraining orders. Mostly. Sometimes. Except that one time… ---

My main spammers are, for whatever reason, Lebanese. I get spam urging me to visit lovely restaurants in Lebanon, to visit trendy nightclubs in Lebanon, and to work as a sales rep in Lebanon. Prime offenders: Pulse (with the helpful tagline “Always Beating”), and a new but pesky correspondent, What’s Up Lebanon.
