Artie has been getting around lately, as just last week I had:

Artie said that they were hanging at Nobu and Richie covered the bill but told them to leave a tip

Spammers have definitely been stepping up these past few weeks. The subject lines are stories in themselves. The actual emails are disappointments, of course, but the tags have been outstanding.

Artie was at Nobu? With... Nicole Richie???????

Wow.

I also got one a few weeks ago from "death." The subject line was "taxing." I thought that was great.

Is spam email-writing a field anyone can get into? Where do I apply? I never imagined it would be so creatively rewarding.

I'd almost open that mail!!!

McGone, I guess they figured that spam message was a sure thing, eh? (Get it? Death? Taxes? Sure thing? HA!)

(hmmm.. explaining your own jokes again?)

Maybe there's a degree, probably an on-line diploma degree in creative writing for spam emails. Let's get on it!

Dilling, I KNOW! I was almost tempted to read what they were selling! So good, eh? ; )
