Own Your Own Hovercraft!

Thursday, February 13th, 2003 · 4 Comments

Some spam that manages to sneak past SpamAssassin and into my inbox is too good to let slide. I’m now considering purchasing my own hovercraft. The only thing that sucks is that it’s a toy hovercraft and not a real hovercraft. Hovercrafts are cool. If I had a hovercraft, I could float down the streets of San Francisco to the water’s edge, then just keep on cruising across the Bay parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge to get to work every day. That would rule.

    I’d remove this post quick, before the spammer finds out and sues over spam copyright infringement!

    in that case, i would just have to counter-sue for clogging my inbox with unsolicited email!
