have you noticed the trend for spam to include random nouns ? i just got one with the subject line which includes “exorcist fireproof buttercup lacquer”
but what use those random nouns ? it seems a shame to delete all those spams when they’ve obviously been sent especially to my email account by someone who genuinely thinks i want to buy their product (i don’t, but the spammer doesn’t know that).
So, i propose that you print them out and use them for your name game of spam charades.
we’ll need to work on this idea together a bit more.
for starters, what is the indicator which the performer has to do to indicate that the thing they are miming is a Spam ? If you can describe it, i’ll try miming it and take a photo to add to this entry (which is currently photoless)
Geek alert!
Spammers add random words – usually to the plain/text part of a multipart/alternate message, or in hidden text in HTML messages – to try and fool bayesian spam filters, but with little success.
End geek alert.
so what’s the gesture for a geek ?
I’m doing it now – can’t you see?
photo please !
Just think of a green hat and dark glasses.
