Waiter! There's crap in my spam!

[ghost_light]

As I've noted before, I have a very boring temp job (which I really like on one level. There is a kind of zen beauty in balancing stage managing with a position where the hardest decision I've had to make is whether or not to warm my pita bread). This job gives me a lot of time to sneak checks at my email and occasionally I will scroll through some of that V!agra!! or m0rtgae y'our h0u'se spam just for something to do. At the bottom of a very run-of-the-mill V`ic0-din promo I found these.....

A man was speeding down the highway, feeling secure in a gaggle of cars all
traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got
nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over. The officer
handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away
when the man asked, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don't think it's
fair - there ere plenty of other cars around me who were going just as fast,
so why did *I* get the ticket?" "Ever go fishing?" the policeman suddenly
asked the man. "Ummm, yeah..." the startled man replied. The officer grinned
and added, "Ever catch *all* the fish?"
A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a
family in Egypt, and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family in Spain;
they name him "Juan."Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his
mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she
also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, "But they are twins--if
you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."

whafu?!?!?

It's a new tactic to fool spam filters. Some of it is quite interesting -- passages from Shakespeare and the like.

These bad puns are worthy of me...I can't wait to share them with my dad!

I left Anchorage too soon, Ewan McGregor is going through there on his round-the-world motorcycle trip, probably sometime in late June, early July. If you're not busy could you kidnap him for me? Love you, miss you, Sue

Love and miss you too. I'll keep an ear out for him, but I will likely be locked in the Performing Arts Center by that point...

[ladymcclellan.livejournal.com]

That could be convenient for kidnapping though, surely there are plenty of big closets and chests in which to stuff him until I can get there. (evil laugh)

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Nah, just send him to the Atwood greenroom for something. It could take days to get out of there...

Honestly, since I'm working for ATY again and we'll be right downtown, I might try to talk to his agent about speaking to the kids. Especially since we're going to have an "Acting for the Camera" class...

Actually, that is a great idea. In interviews Ewan has said over and over again that the point of this trip was to meet new people. He also loves kids, so that would problably be something that, if he has the time, he'd love to do. The name of the website for the journey is Longwayround.com.

Cool, thanks ;) I have a meeting with the President of the Board and the Educational Director tonight so I will bring this up. Hopefully he won't be here until July-ish. If it's in June we would have to just schedule something special, possibly a lecture or a quick Saturday workshop....

I looked at the map on the Website and I don't see how they'll make it to Anchorage before July. Crossing all of Siberia is going to be really difficult. Then its Alaska, western Canada, down to Minneapolis, Chicago, then New York, and that's the end of July.

They just started on Friday, so my bet is July.

Yeah, that sounds pretty likely. I'll see who I can contact about setting things up. Thanks!
