Sixth Sense Spam

Homework spam

If only my lecturers were so easily impressed

Post modern spam

Do you ever get the feeling that some of the spammers are getting a little bored of their job?

Career advice spam

I thought the best thing about being a Doctor would be the ability to save lives, apparently I’m wrong

Nepotism spam

Only two possible reactions to this one, well three if you include the inevitable deletion, what are mainly WTF?? and That’s nice.

Oprah Spam

Yes, it’s true, you can all have free proxies. It’s not quite a free car but hey it’s free.

Anti-New Year Resolution Spam

Either this is just coincidence or incredibly well targeted. Either way I’m sure that the cigs on offer are completely genuine and never suffered a tumble off the back of an articulated vehicle

 

Mythical spam

I was starting to believe that the we’d plumbed the depths of various amusing spam times, but it seems I was wrong for today brings a new twist with a polite request on how to buy a mythical creature.

Google suggests both Argos and Amazon but I have a sneaky suspicion that both might be bidding on the phrase ‘where can I buy?’ rather than trying to answer the world’s unicorn needs. Yahoo answers suggests ebay and various methods for catching your own by the use of elves and Michael Jackson.

AQA, the drunken and argumentative person’s favourite way to Google suggests that you can’t buy a unicorn, however if it is a gift for a younger relative to buy a shetland pony and stick an artificial horn on it. Which is blatantly untrue, for if unicorns don’t exist then who is the star of this reality show?

Flattery…

…will still get you spam-ass comment deleted.

Zen Spam

I officially give up pretending to both  you and me that I’m going to stop posting the more interesting spam I get. I’ll stop when it does, till then skip the posts with ‘Spam’ in the title.

Full disclosure over and so on to this week’s comment.

The utter mental mind f’ck that this comment gives me is almost as bad as the time when a Bostonian cab driver interrogated, a very jetlagged, me about the efficacy of the EU and whether if it had existed pre-WWII, would WW II actually happened. Ever had a moment when you thought that your brain was literally dribbling out of your ears? That was me just over a week ago, after a very intense three day visit to Boston. I was barely capable of thought let alone historical European political discourse.

Surely, if we inhabit the body, then we are also in possession of it? Which means that we do possess the wisdom that we apparently lack, or is the physical body an independent entity with which we’ll never truly be a part of, as we lack its inherent wisdom?
