Over the last month or so, I have been getting triple the amount of email spam. I opened my inbox this morning to a subject line that said "Why your sausage is so small :) :)?" A few questions about this. First, does anyone really call it a "sausage"? Because, ew. Second, do the emoticons really help here? I mean, you're insulting the receiver of this email by a) assuming the person has a sausage (I don't. At least I don't think I do.) and b) telling him that it is small. A few smiley faces don't really gloss over that kind of insult, in my opinion. Curses on whomever stole my address and is sending me this schlock (and you know who you are, you bastard Craig's Listers!).
Anyway, I had an exhilirating ride to work today. If by exhilirating you mean terrifying, that is. I got on the freeway and it seemed perfectly safe--if not dry, at least not icy. I suppose that is why the dreaded black ice is so tricky, eh? You can't see it! Bastard black ice.
Lucky for me, I have some experience almost dying on the freeway, and knew how to keep my cool. Doing a half-scream as you pump your breaks while the world spins past you is my standard operating procedure. Works like a charm.
Harrowing is the word of the day.
Update: A new email just in. This one? "Take Your Award, Mr. Smallest Weenie 2006." Now really. Does this actually sell products?
I think I remember that first one - with Stacy McFall right?
ReplyDeleteYou might not have a sausage but you might have a snausage.
ReplyDeleteLike instead of woody, we women, we enjoy (greatly) our wood chips.
Chip away! Oh no can do, must work. Now where did I put those batteries?
