Really...?

Every once in a while, I see something in spam that makes me laugh. I just received this little gem:

This makes no sense on several levels, not the least of which is that it's basically claiming to be from *me*.

The link, of course, while claiming to point to a non-existent folder on my server, in fact points to another server entirely where they had hoped to lure me for some reason.


EDIT: This just in: spam for russian hunting videos (*in* russian) is a new one on me...



In other news...

Not too much has gone on the last couple of weeks. Our friends have mostly been busy lately, so we haven't done much that's particularly interesting or fun. We *have* played a fair bit of Lego Star Wars.

My mom did come through on her way to see my sister in Columbia, SC. She stopped over tuesday night and again on her way back on saturday. We got to go play a little golf and had a good time talking. We also went to Five Guys for the first time (it just opened up here in JC), and have decided (like several of our friends) that they are probably the best burger place ever.

My photo show at WAPC came down on thursday (also, i've been playing with my new 50mm prime a lot), almost bought a riding mower on saturday (still waiting to see if they get back with us), Thanksgaming (RuchtCon II) is coming up soon (and I've got a fair amount of work to do for it) and I've been comparing wide-angle lenses on my photography wish list.

If you truly claim 5 guys to be the best burger in town, I may have to revoke your Mid City Grill priveleges...

Penguinsushi says...

You forget: i don't get burgers at Mid-City, I get the club - which, incidentally, *is* the best in town. ~PS

*bluster* Technicalities!! *bluster bluster guffaw* Pistols at dawn good sir! ;)

Penguinsushi says...

Pistols at dawn, you say? 10 paces, turn and fire your suction-cup darts? I'm pretty sure my Vash the Stampede coat gives me bonuses to this sort of thing... hehehehe ~PS

hippie says...

You know... that might be entertaining. We know anyone who might be willing to film said Nerf duel?

LittlestPenguin says...

Oh, I would were I there.
