lame email trailers

these emails are starting to suck so bad that I don't even save them anymore. sometimes they aren't even complete words, it's just gibberish with a sentence structure. here is the only half-way decent one I've gotten in awhile:

chile chum enos differentiate premium exothermic samoa emerge hankel inputting birth biotic stabile tiber cosine nymphomaniac exploration mutton ukraine
millionth abroad palmolive animism bye anyplace cutout retract hung nc visible
investigatory amaranth paralysis synoptic woodgrain opalescent bramble caravan
jason carmichael ed fizzle lunatic cohort hostage embezzle downplay

this looks like the spelling list of a psycho. I wonder how they come up with all of those clever ways to spell Cialis and Viagra. it's like a lame spamers version of leet. (not that I want to try to read teenage hackers leetspeech anywhere, but at least it makes sense. there's even a business in Austin with a marquee, since it used to be the Cinema West porno theater, that has their whole sign done up in leet right now.) I know why they use those alternate spellings, but some of them are just freaky. I waws hoping to give some examples here, but I've either deleted them all or the Microsoft Service pack upgrade is actually blocking them! (I know that's not actually happening, but that service pack was giving me trouble yesterday so I'm still a little irritated.)

Atari Adventure

Atari Adventure: "Atari Adventure free flash web game"
yeah, I guess I missed the Cootie thing, but I did find a great version of this game in flash. you can play one level with two different levels of difficulty. My mom still has our 2600 and @30 carts that still work! she has 4 joysticks and two perfect paddles, and my sister and I try to steal it every time I go to visit.

Human Face of Globalization

this is a really cool project that reminds me of the global nomads. the Face of Tomorrow: the Human Face of Globalization. I see that they're gonna do austin, and I'm sad that I was not involved! this would be interesting to do at Oktoberfest or SXSW.

you should read the source code:

2.3 Sixteen Degrees of Separation
The nature of society, in which inevitably, even in the most advanced liberal democracies, there are more men than women on the street, means that in a typical photoshoot we get about one third females and two thirds males. We can’t always rely on there being 32 females, so it ends up that the number that it is convenient to work with is 16. From early research this was found to be sufficient to give an idea of the future face of that location with a high degree of consistency. In fact, we know that we have a representative face because the male and the female face for a particular location, always end up looking like brother and sister, even though each is made up of a batch of entirely unrelated individuals.

I'm starting to feel my age a bit (almost 32) so the fact that 25 is seen as the age of the future makes me a bit sad. I will aleviate this sadness by going to the World's Largest Cootie® Tournament at the IMAX theater. they're gonna have tarantula races and insect displays, bug-based delicacies, and I'll create my own creepy crawly to take home! so I'll leave now to be part of the bug-a-loo!

whoa, this is clever

You know by now that I've been closely tracking the spam that I receive and I've noticed a change. I don't get coherent sentences anymore. For some reason, the secret texts have dropped off...maybe because I'm on to them. (yeah, right)

so a few days ago I got a pretty creative scam email instead. I get a heartfelt note from someone in an African royal family at least once a week, because the need me to transfer some money for them. I just didn't realize the reach of my fame - all the way to the cradle of life. But this scam is a little more focused and I wonder if it's a stolen email list from a film related website. I was excited for about 2 seconds until I really thought about the concept of being contacted for a part via email. All of my real work was arranged over the phone, even the extra bits, so I knew this was ridiculous. Check it out:

uh yeah. Send a photo and $150 to some unknown English location of Universal Studios. At least this scam is not too expensive, but who would actually do this? Many of these scams try and prey on older people or dim bulbs, but would a senior think someone wanted them in a movie? Are dumb people under the impression that Universal scouts via email?! Maybe so.
