JUST HAD TO SHARE
Getting more strangely titled e-mail. In today's batch there was an e-mail from Lydia Lockhart which tried to entice me to open by saying in the subject line: "venous , thrill the caracas it platonist in". I kid you not, to borrow a phrase from Jack Paar. Another one came from Khajag Hutchinson ( Just what kind of name is that?Almost as good as those given the Zappa siblings, Moon Unit and Dweezil ) boldly stated: "Re: Antony Schoepp Extra chance" And just who is Antony Schoepp? Never heard of him, but should I be interested in giving him a second chance? I was never informed that he had any chances. A chance for what? And finally an e-mail from the appropriately named Bennett Crum stating: "downbeat see dung may valid " What a crummy thing to say in an e-mail. However, the best was the e-mail I got from no one who's subject line just simply said "[none]". That one got immediately deleted. I am still contemplating the others. Their subject lines and sender names tickle me. May leave them sitting on my list for a few days, just to enjoy the chuckle when I check my e-mail.
IS THIS NECESSARY?
Every time there is a hurricane, all the TV networks send reporters out into the wind and rain to report on the hurricane. What's the point? Do they think it makes the report more exciting to see the weatherman in danger of being blown away? At least usually they give the young ones the assignment of standing there like an idiot, trying their best to stand up to the wind, while dodging flying debris, but when I saw Al Rooker being held down by one of his camera men hanging on to his leg. I thought, doesn't this more than middle-aged man know better? He has told us his father made him promise to do something about his weight because he was concerned that Al would die early, but I wonder what his father would think if he saw him standing there like the other young idiots in that wind and rain.
Then as if to emphasize my thoughts, Al tried to get back to his room, and fell over as soon as the cameraman let go of his leg. Luckily he is all right. Seeing Al Rooker fall down from his own idiocy, was almost as funny as the female reporter in a canoe, who looked as though she was paddling her way down a terribly flooded street, that is until two fellows in waders walked by carrying their groceries, showing the street had only about a foot of water. At least the poor reporter came up with a good come back when Matt asked her about this. She said: "Why walk when you can ride?"
I think we all could see how strong the storm is with the feed from an unmanned camera, with the actually report being made by a reporter safe and dry inside. I wonder, if one day, one of these hapless reporters actually blew away, or got flattened by flying debris, would they show it on TV? Would that kind of occurrence make a more interesting weather story? Would it get higher ratings?

SEEKING BRADLEY CHUBBY. ARE YOU BRADLEY CHUBBY? REWARD OFFERED FOR PROOF OF EXISTANCE OF BRADLEY CHUBBY.
" This might make you some money bradley chubby "
Just who is Bradley Chubby? Or did they mean badly chubby? I do not know whether to be amused or insulted. This sentence was the subject line of a recent e-mail. It was spam of course. At least this one wanted me to invest in some stocks, instead of purchasing Viagra. Oh I got one of those spams too today. It said in the subject line “regarding your account” so I opened it. Not only did it want to sell me some kind of penil enhancement drug, but also it seemed to promise a 12-inch erection. Actually I am not exactly sure what this e-mail promised me, because as soon as I saw the words ’12 inch erection’ I knew this e-mail was not about any account I ever had. I immediately reported it as spam and deleted it. I think if they are going to send spam mail from overseas, they ought to at least employ a person whose native language is English to compose and proof read in English. On the other hand, though, maybe not--spam mail would not be as easy to spot or as amusing.
