The Spaminator

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Every now and then I go through my junk mail to make sure mail isn’t junking something I actually need. Tonight, I happened across a rather amusing subject line after deleting a Realm email asking me to approve a comment advertising online casinos (oy, just mentioning that is gonna draw more spammers…).

The subject line read “lard demographics”. Why anyone thought that would be a good name for a spam email about buying stock in “CHINA WORLD TRADE CORP.” is beyond me, but before my brain exploded trying to reason it out, I stopped myself and said, “it’s only a spam message,” and suddenly it made sense in the same way emails from [%from_name%] make sense (in other words, they don’t, and anyone falling for them deserves to have their savings account emptied by someone in Nicaragua).

Geek Factor 10

Sunday, February 26th, 2006


My computer geek score is greater than 72% of all people in the world! How do you compare? Click here to find out!

I think responding “Mac OS” and “rarely back up documents” probably hurt my score considerably…

I do find it amusing though that the average score for Windows users is 45 while the average score for Apple users is 60…

This is obviously several months old, since it doesn’t include the Nano or anything on it, and the news post is dated 150 days ago, but I just stumbled across it and thought it was flippin’ hilarious (especially the accessory names):

For the First Time Ever…

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

Am I the only one who finds the Battlefront 2 commercials incredibly amusing, like LucasArts is trying to forget about the massive number of Star Wars games they’ve released in the past? Specifically, the announcer’s statement, “For the first time ever… fight IN SPACE!”

Except for, you know, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-wing versus Tie Fighter, Alliance, Rogue Squadron, Rogue Squadron 2, Dark Empire, SW: Galaxies, and probably a few more recent console releases I’m unfamiliar with. Except for all of those, this is, like, the first time EVER that you can fight in space, yeah. If that’s not what they meant, they should have been more clear in their wording. I guess they could have meant “for the first time in the Battlefront series”, which admittedly doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well as “for the first time EVER”, but still… it’s an important difference, y’know?

I don’t even want to know. Seriously. I’m guessing it’s an aggregate of stuff that turned up from one of the deviantArt memes I pasted in my blog at some point, but still…
