Daily View, 11/16, Spam, London Shrug

I get a ridiculous amount of spam. I'm sure partly because I've had my mainstream Earthlink email address for over five years (yikes). Meanwhile, I know people have started making poetry from the ridiculous subject titles of their spam. While I'm not going to go that far, I have decided to start making note of some of them. Spam sucks, but it's a fact of life—I don't get these people who wage full-out wars against spam. Anyway, spam of the day:

• From: Benito Garcia      Subject: she said you raped her
  I also got one that had a subject line of "Haley Steward pickle", but the random rape accusation is more interesting. Sheesh.


• Oh, now that the white people are doing it, it's controversial? They've had anthropomorphized pee & poo in Japan forever already. Get with it, Sweden.


• Hahahaha... go to Google, type the word failure into the search field, then hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button... excellent.


• Why does everyone love graffiti so damn much? Now the trendsters are even wearing graffiti ties. Oh, I'm sorry—VINTAGE graffiti ties.


• Wow. Eyes eaten alive by ants, babies born with hearts in their hands, a new plan for asteroids... this is my kinda news.


• Quite liked a lot of things about this site: DL&Co. However, points off for YET ANOTHER MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA PRODUCT. Wtf is with this movie and the aggressive asian-themed product tie-ins? Jeeeeeeeeeezus.


• One of the most extreme sentences I've ever read in a movie review came from the Onion's review of Ellie Parker: "it's filmed on nauseous, headache-inducing digital video that makes the film look like it was shot entirely within the rectum of a syphilitic hobo"... damn. (Poor Scott Coffey!).


• This is silly and pointless but I laughed out loud: Strongbad "meedley meedley meedley meedley..."


• Overheard at 14th & 3rd: Hipster chick: "Omigod, he's like Adonis...like a geeky, comic book-loving Adonis..." Really. Where can I find one of those? Actually, no... the comic book thing kills it for me at this point. Backlash from years of too many comic book boys. Read real books, already.


• Also Overheard in Park Slope (no real surprise): Little girl: "I'm tired of thinking about ponies! Now it's time to kill!

Ok, so I was going to go to London. Someone I was interested in getting to know better was also going. Now he has flaked. I believe the term fuckwit pretty much sums it up. But I think I'm still going to go... sans fuckwit. Why not? Yes, I may burst into tears at the top of the London Eye, or have a horrible creeping feeling of loss in the Design Museum, but... screw all that. Beautiful, frigid London in January will cure what ails me... right? Sigh.
