    This is an evil plot from the spamlords to get us to actualy read the spam we get, instead of trashing it.

  5. To all you spammers out there... by uriyan · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shall I compare thee to bits of stone?
    You serve less purpose, and cause much more trouble
    The stone doth stay when roughest winds are gone
    But when IPs are traced, you're already on the double

    Sometimes too slow the mail servers are
    And often is their total bandwith dimm'd
    By thine empty headers who bring far
    Less money than to you it must have seemed

    But thy eternal spam-fest will not pass
    Nor will you lose those d4rk-IPz j00 0wn
    Nor shall /dev/null contain all your tries
    To make some money, since your work's really worth none

    So long as l4m3rs live and traffic's free
    So long lives spam, and spam gives life to thee

  8. Maybe start with my lastest inbox gem by GreggBert · · Score: 5, Funny

    I should use the spam that has been splattering into my inbox over the last week "Increase your ejaculation volume by 581% !!!". I could probably base a poem on that one. I would know how to start. That part is easy. I'm just not sure I could stop.

      yeah - with five times the ejaculation volume, i don't think i'd be able to stop for a while either. ;)
