Once again, reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated

Well it's been nearly (or over) two months since my last post. Yes, I know, I'm a shocking slacker. No surprise there, though, as I warned people about this possibility with my first post. Anyway . . . in an attempt to get back up to speed I'll keep this post short. For some reason I haven't found much in the world that has been humorous or amusing. It would seem the entire world has gone very serious. Perhaps I'm just preoccupied with work and domestic issues like most middle-class folk.

I digress . . . my particular gripe and post today is about the odd crap that arrives in my junk e-mail folder. I had a stretch there, for a while, in which I only received stuff in Chinese or Japenese. As my Anglo-script e-mail server isn't prepared to handle such type the titles of these messages usually ended up as nicely coloured boxes and diamonds.

Recently the junk mail has taken a new track . . . bad English subject lines. I believe most of them are just an attempt to not be flagged and blocked by the server but some are rather amusing.

Here's an example of one that is an obvious typo to avoid being blocked by a mail server:
"Homel of your drleams" . . . hmm, is a homel like a hovel? Are drleams more like really lame and boring dreams?

On the other side of the coin are the subject lines that verge on being Engrish or Japlish (or some other Asian-English bastardised equivalent):
"Someone Tells me what is Ephedra?" - - - Hmm, is this really a question or more of a statement of outrage?

"Your life lolve is nowl going too" - - - I don't really know what in the world to say or think about that one.

And on that note, I'll leave this post.
