14 Types of Spam
I've been getting a lot of spam lately. Not just on my personal hotmail account, but also on my work account. So, the delete link gets a workout. But I have noticed a tendency of the work spammers to have some rather unconventional "names" on the spam originating accounts. Many are quite amusing. So, I wrote down my spammers' "names" for a week, and the results are as follows:
So, which one is your favorite? I'm rather fond of Kookaburra A. Trailing, but I do like Carcasses S. Superiors and Conventional H. Pyrotechnics as well. Wedging I. Convection sounds... painful, I guess, and Goliath H. Hanger sounds like a pornstars screen name. I'm not a big fan of the ones that have actual names in them, like Lawrence G. Junkyard. Tuna O. Breech is good, too. A fine Irish lass, Ms. Tuna O'Breech. Very sad the way the mean lads in the village taunt her with nicknames like Fishgirl and Chicken of the Sea.Wedging I. Convection Goliath C.
