Facebook VS. Lamebook

2010-11-05T11:16:00.001-06:00

Much as I now think FB is LB because it allows in a bunch of junk yet disabled my account for no reason, FB apparently can't get enough money and is suing www.lamebook.com for trademark infringement of all things. What? Just because it has 'book' at the end of it's domain - huh? What? So FB and only FB is allowed to 'book' a name and no one else is allowed to use 'book' as part of the end of their site name?

PULEEEEEEZE!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-20021906-36.html

I liked the idea of Lamebook in that it pokes fun of Facebook chain letters, but the people who crawl and slither around on that site use foul low-class language that's typical of the sort of vulgarity thriving on FB.

So why bother ridiculing chain letters if you're gonna engage in something just as stupid? (that would be liberal use of the f-bomb and other cussing a blue streek.)

Yes, Lamebook is truly lame in this respect.

But I have no respect for sue-wars, people and companies threatening to or actually suing over all kinds of small stupid stuff.

Facebook Developers Sold UIDS

2010-11-01T09:54:00.001-06:00

Funny how FB sold user ids to advertisers but FB doesn't name those advertisers. Go figure.

Yep, with all this privacy-fail I guess Facebook actually did right when disabling my account after all...

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2371830,00.asp

They disable with no reason , they tout special interest agendas, they sell user ids, okay, FB officially sucks in my opinion.

The Rescue From The San Jose Mine A Miraculous Success!

2010-10-15T02:44:00.003-06:00

All 33 miners were rescued, and in amazingly good condition. There are concerns, one has pneumonia, another has a skin rash, and they are all having to wear dark glasses and be in very dim rooms while hospitalized because of being down there for three months.

I was still at work when the last miner was brought out.

The rescue will continue over the next 33 or so hours.

The miners were trapped for a couple of months down there, so this is nothing short of miraculous!

NBC Stinks of Propaganda

2010-10-12T20:35:00.001-06:00

I was flipping channels, and came upon the NBC show Law And Order SVU, which has been going seriously downhill lately, actually so has the whole chebang. What really disgusts me is their attitude of sucking up to the food-cop agendas and everything else on the left. This was particularly stupid today, one of the detectives was talking to some company exec that was getting help from another company, who according to this detective, was guilty of the crime or sin, according to the food-cop cultists, of "pushing soda" PLEASE! Soda is not meth or heroin! Let the kids have their soda, let people eat and drink what they like (of course it shoulld go without saying that people should be responsible about consuming alcohol, but that's not what I'm talking about here.) Food-cops, mind your own stupid mouths and keep your damn noses out of my TV shows and out of everybody's business!

I turned the TV off in disgust.

Facebook's Unreasonable Disabling Of Accounts

2010-10-08T15:10:00.001-06:00

There's no reason for Facebook to disable my account, but they have. They'd do better disabling accounts of people who show dirty pictures, spam users, support bullies and extremism.

I've never liked their policy of no nicknames allowed, either.

Facebook officially stinks in my books unless they decide to be reasonable and give me my account back.

Who Says “Junk” Food is Junk?
We hear a lot from self-anointed food police like those at the Center for “Science in the Public Interest” that there are “good” foods and “bad” foods, with most tasty treats always falling in the latter category. Even parents tend to embrace phrases like “junk food.” But an interesting experiment threatens to toss this conventional wisdom out the window. Kansas State University nutrition professor Mark Haub is finishing up his month-long junk food dietthis week—and so far has lost weight:
Haub kicked off a 30-day junk-food odyssey, dubbed the Twinkie Diet, on August 25, to question perceptions about how we view processed goods in relation to our overall health. And so far he's lost weight eating primarily Twinkies, hot dogs and cake.
Haub's diet is fairly incredible. It consists of sugar cereals, Swiss cake rolls, blueberry muffins, cinnamon rolls, peanut-butter Oreos and hot dogs. He allows himself one serving of low-calorie vegetables and milk at dinner, in order to increase his daily protein and vitamin intake.
One unintended benefit is that his daily food budget is only $5.
Three weeks in, Haub was down 10 pounds. What about other measures of health? His LDL (bad) cholesterol has dropped while his HDL (good) cholesterol has risen. And he’s meeting his nutrient goals through the serving of veggies (with help from vitamins). Not bad for his budget.
If it seems counterintuitive that anyone could lose weight by eating mostly “junk” foods, consider this: Haub is restricting his diet to 1,800 calories per day. Weight gain or loss is simply a matter of a calorie imbalance—too many calories “in” from food or too few calories “out” from physical activity. And as an encore, Haub says he plans to spend October gaining weightwhile eating solely fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protein, and other health foods.
We’re not saying this “Twinkie diet” is for everyone, all the time. But it should certainly turn the silly good food/bad food framework (and those who love it) on its head. Morgan Spurlock, eat your heart out.

Video: Small Bird Recovers And Is Released

2010-09-15T10:54:00.001-06:00

Sorry about the very beginning when the camera falls, but after that it gets really good. A bird flew into the front window and stunned itself for a bit. This is a video of me holding it and then releasing it out the back. It was actually over being stunned even before I got to hold it, and just sat calmly in my hand for quite a while before it finally flew away.

Oh, and I uploaded it using my new computer!

Let’s Cage the Salmonella Rhetoric

Let’s Cage the Salmonella Rhetoric

Salmonella spin from the ”Humane Society” of the United States took another turn for the worse yesterday. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof used his Thursday column (and the Times blog) to mimic the animal rights group in attacking modern egg farms as a supposed breeding ground for the bacteria. “[W]e can overhaul our agriculture system so that it is both safer and more humane — starting with a move toward cage-free eggs,” Kristof writes. But like HSUS, Kristof is plainly wrong.

In the case of the recent recall that involved two Iowa farms, mice appear to have passed Salmonella to eggs after they scavenged on contaminated chicken feed. But rodents are a fact of life for all egg farmers—small and large alike. That includes “cage-free” operations.

At the very least, caged-hen systems can be easier to clean, and they move manure away from the birds more quickly. As one farmer put it: “In a caged environment you are separating the birds from their feces. In a cage-free environment you do not do that …Would you allow a small child to play in his excrement or eat his excrement?”

More troubling is Kristof’s insinuation that a zero-tolerance view toward public health risks should be the primary goalof farm regulation. In this view, even one case of foodborne illness is too many. This is a different point of view from the predominant public-health standard of ensuring a reasonable standard of public safety. Eating has never been a risk-free activity. But whether compared with millennia past or just a few decades ago, it strains credibility to argue that today’s food supply is less safe.

One commenter at the Times blog hit the nail on the head, arguing that although vehicular fatalities would certainly decline (or disappear) if the federal government set a national speed limit of 35 miles per hour, no one would actually accept that as the “cost” of saving lives. Driving 35 would be too inconvenient for people (especially those who live in Montana), even if it could be justified on “public safety” grounds.

Similarly, we could ban skydiving. And while we’re at it, we could toss out NASCAR and boxing, too. Really, any activity that’s enjoyed without a firm NERF wrapping—no matter how fun—could be outlawed. And we might as well ban spinach, tomatoes, and peanut butter. They, too, have been vehicles for deadly disease outbreaks.

Get the picture? Under Kristof’s preferred regime, we’d be reduced to a nation of fraidy-cats in helmets and full-body padding.

Back to eggs: Only about 1 in 20,000 might be contaminated with Salmonella, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The average Joe (or Jane) encounters one of these eggs once every 84 years. And if it’s cooked well, there’s zero health risk involved.

Is it really worth forcing farmers to expensively change their infrastructure on the nonsensical theory that it might shift the odds in some imperceptible amount, as HSUS claims to want? The two Iowa farms at the center of our national egg debate already have many opportunities to do that: keeping their barns clean, warding off rodents, and having better reporting habits. But cage-free conversion is (and must be) at the bottom of the list.

Apparently this didn't go through the first time, so trying again.

Well, at least my work sched will be on the way, and for that I'm glad.

Now if I could just get over the nerves brought on by what basically equals a couple of nights with nightmares - getting awakened by first that cat and then the train - that would be great! It feels exactly like the day after having particularly freaky nightmares. It'll sort out itself in time, but meanwhile, ugh.

Emails Vanishing In Cyberspace

2010-08-19T10:10:00.001-06:00

It's very likely any number of emails sent to me over the weekend and up to late Monday have been lost in Cyberspace. With Shaw acting up on my end, and then my comp going down, even with forwarding incoming email to my Ipad during that time, it's been confirmed that I've missed at least two emails from a couple of different people. Probably more. Just in case anyone tried to reach me and hasn't gotten a reply back, a FYI. :) Technology - it's great, when it works.

More Worries From a “Working Group”

Our ActivistCash.com database project explores the financial ties and radical relationships among animal rights, environmental, and “food police” organizations. It’s full of the dirty secrets that these activist groups with fuzzy names—from the ”Humane Society” of the United States to Greenpeace–don’t want the public to know. This week, we’ve updated our profile of an organization known as the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Anytime you read a scary newspaper headline warning you that your lipstick or water bottle might be secretly killing you, this Environmental “Worrying” Group’s name will probably turn up.

EWG has recently been attacking Vitamin A (we’re not joking) as a supposed cancer-causing agent. With scaremongering that silly (and reckless), it’s no surprise that 79 percent of members of the Society of Toxicology believe EWG overhypes the health risks of chemicals.

As we’re telling the media today:

The Environmental Working Group has perfected the art of duping science and health reporters. This is an organization that never met a food it couldn’t turn into a panicked newspaper headline. Not even vitamin A is safe from EWG’s poison pen.

The Environmental ‘Worrying’ Group’s regular assaults on common sense have made it one of the most error-prone activist organizations in America. But now consumers and the media have a one-stop shop for information that can help them fight back.

Head on over to ActivistCash and check out the new profile.

Well, a couple of bad nights - that is, the other night some neighborhood cats woke me up with their screaming, and last night it was a uber loud train engine, and apparently I screech in my sleep as well. This morning I was at my comp, minding my own business when a train whistled, startling me yet again. Ehh, not cool. I'm surprised the phone hasn't rang and startled me as well, that's probably bound to happen. Gah, having a jumpy day or at least start to it.

Bug Out

2010-08-11T01:43:00.001-06:00

Well, it happened again!

No, really?

Unbelievably, but yes, it has!

Another stupid wasp sting!

Sheesh - can't even go walking around in one's house without getting stung by some freakin wasp!

I was innocently having a wonderful time cranking the music and working out a bit, then went to toss something in the trash. On the way back, I stepped on a bit of something, and it was like - what the heck could I have dropped here? Was about to bend down and pick it up when *bzzzzzzt!* YOUWCH DAMMIT! It must've been a dying wasp. The thing was too stupid to get out of the way, and when my foot was right over top of it, it nailed me! Not quite as bad as the one I got in the arm earlier this year, probably just because the skin on the bottom of the foot is quite a bit tougher. Some swelling and more of an itch than actual pain now, but yes the initial sting HURT!

Okay, my good mood has just been turned to a general ticked off feeling - argh! I don't like these things, in fact, I officially hate wasps and wish they would leave me the !@#$ alone! They seriously make my skin crawl! How in the heck can one go most all of their life without one sting, and then within the past 2 or 3 years get that many, and two within a single year?

What did I do to deserve this? What!?

Ipods, Go Figure!

2010-08-01T19:00:00.001-06:00

Well, earlier this summer, my niece's Ipod died, and then mysteriously came back to life. For no apparent reason. Mine did exactly the same thing last night. It was fully charged, and I wanted to use it to make an Ipad demo video while the football game was on and it was such a wonderful evening out. I wanted some of the sounds from the game and the nice evening to be a fun setting for showing why Ipadding out on the back deck in the summer is so cool. But - I took the Ipod off its charger, and it did nothing. It wouldn't turn off or on, and the computer didn't even recognize it when it was plugged in. Not through "My Computer" or through ITunes. I remembered my niece's Ipod doing something similar, so just decided to leave mine off its charger, with the switch in the off position for about 24 hours and then check on it. Sure enough, it started up tonight! Heh!

Blech!

"Have you ever had a crush on (contact?)?

EWWW, NO! Besides that we haven't actually met in person, we're both freaking girls!

Missing Cat Viral Email Exchange

2010-07-28T19:03:00.001-06:00

Missing Missy email exchange

It's a supposedly hilarious exchange between Shannon Walkley and graphics designer David Thorne over Shannon's lost cat, Missy, and was started in June 2010. It is going around like wildfire now, and unbelievably, people are just peeing themselves laughing over it.
http://867-53oh9.blogspot.com/2010/07/you-have-to-read-this-chain-email.html

David Thorne created a viral about an argument over a lost cat, titled
Missing Missy
http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html

The site title where you'll find this thing is "yeah thats not what I'm looking for at all." (should be "that's")

Before the letters actually begin, David Thorne says:

"I am extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears.
I am not a big fan of cats. I do not hate them, I just have no interest in them whatsoever. If I visit your house, I do not want to pat your cat, sit on the couch where it has been or have you make me a sandwich after patting it. I didn't want that sandwich anyway. The Maxwell house coffee was bad enough and when you smelt the milk to see if it was still ok, despite being a week past its use by date, I saw your nose touch the carton.

I actually rescued a cat once. I was walking across a bridge, over a river that was in flood, when I heard mewing and saw a frantic cat being pulled along. I picked up a fairly hefty branch and threw it over the rail to where the cat was. I did not see it after that but I am pretty sure it would have climbed on and ridden the branch over the next set of rapids and waterfall to safety."

Then comes the email exchange back and forth, but some versions of the chain have left out part of the exchange that is on the site.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

Me: The original reads like this:

Dear Shannon,

I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter, I kept the cat in a closed cardboard box in the shed and forgot about it. If I wanted to feed something and clean faeces, I wouldn't have put my mother in that home after her stroke. A week later, when my friend came to collect his cat, I pretended that I was not home and mailed the box to him. Apparently I failed to put enough stamps on the package and he had to collect it from the post office and pay eighteen dollars. He still goes on about that sometimes, people need to learn to let go.

I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.

Regards, David."

It gets no grin from me, and I hope no one sends it to me! Just putting that out there. If you think it's hilarious, whatever, kindly keep it to yourself, because you never know who else has already gotten it a zillion times, and I don't care to, thanks.

Hehe! I Love When That Happens!

2010-07-26T23:01:00.001-06:00

Abby (chinchilla) had another cuddly moment tonight, and as soon as I opened the cage door and stuck my arms inside, she hopped on, no hesitation whatsoever. Ah, it doesn't happen every night, not by a long shot, but when it does, oh, do I enjoy our cuddles! Mostly she'll just come and sniff my hand, or lick it, or sit up and rest her front paws on my hand and just sit there to get a scritch, and sometimes she'll lick or nibble lightly, though nibbling gets too rough for me very quickly - I don't like being pinched, even if it's lovebites. :) But tonight was a hold and cuddle night. I gave her a treat as I always do when she has one of her super friendly moments, and she always holds so nicely, like a calm kitten. I've always called her a real gem of a chinchilla, and that remains true. She's one of a kind! http://MissCapri.posterous.com

Scammers Trying To Pull The Christian Act - Not Cool!

2010-07-21T23:51:00.001-06:00

I hope you've all heard of the Nigerian scam, or the advanced-fee, account transaction scam. The one that tells you some king died and left you with all his money, all you have to do to claim it is wire some money from your account into some fake account. Or, when playing on people's greed doesn't work, they pull the sympathy card. Somebody's in serious trouble somewhere and can't access their funds, and they need you to save the day by wiring them money from your account and then you get a large return or some such nonsense.

The latest mutation of these schemes, targets Christians in particular, pulling every emotional trick they can, and pushing what they hope are the right emotional buttons to swindle Christians into giving up their money, their bank account information, and other personal information that when in the wrong hands can and does sometimes lead to identity theft, which really ruins lives.

Well, here's one Christian who is not buying their tall tales or their religious pretenses.

* * *

Subject: You Are God Sent,Reply Immediately.

Me: Uh, from a Christian standpoint, such as mine, everyone is God-sent simply by being born. So yeah, I exist, you don't in this particular persona, I'm pretty sure of that. You may not like my reply, however immediate it is...

Sender: Mrs Sam Sogoba sam_sogobaa@sify.com

Me: Erm, *twitch* I hope your name is Samantha and you call yourself Sam for short. I do not take nicely to the Chauvinistic idea that a married woman becomes the man's property and loses her identity! If I got married, I would not call myself Mrs. (hubby'sname) I would be Mrs. Capri somebody, got that?

Recipient: undisclosed recipients: ;

Me: No kidding. You wouldn't be any relation to that little freak Grace Greca Koffih spammer would you?

Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:20:37 +0000 (GMT)

Spammer: Dear God Sent, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

Me: Right, you obviously don't know my name...

Spammer: I am Mrs. Joy Sam Sogoba,

Me: Joy Sam? What were your parents thinking!?

Spammer: I am 58 years old, I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast, from all indication ,my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I can"t work or do any stressful thing, according to my doctors, they have advised me that I may not live forÂ more thenÂ one month, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

Me: A likely story. If the Sudanese spammer who couldn't type worth a darn couldn't cobble together enough of a tear-jerk story, why not follow the tradition of the sick person hoax chain letter and toss the big C word into the story, that oughta REALLY get people giving up their money, their identities, and their very lives for you, not to mention crying you oceans of tears! Not gonna happen here,, lady!

Spammer: I was brought up from a motherless babies home in Rome

Me: Stop trying to write poetry, you royally suck at it. They call "motherless babies' homes" 'orphanages. So, not only do you have cancer, but you were an orphan as well, you think spreading on the soppy sap will make your story ring any truer and squeeze any tears and most importantly, money out of me, to line your fat coffers with more ill-gotten loot? Think again!

Spammer: and I was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child,

Me: Okay, I get it, you had a fruitless life. Orphaned, childless, husband kicked the bucket. Still no tears. Get on with it will you?

Spammer: we were true Christians and my late husband was also brought up from a motherless babies home in Rome.

Me: "Were" true Christians, well you aren't one now, or you wouldn't be trying to milk everyone for sympathy to get them to hand over all their money and who knows what else. So now the story isn't sad enough, but you tell me your late hubby was an orphan as well? And tossing around the word "Christian" is really going to get me to believe you and open my heart and most importantly, my wallet to you. Uh, NO!

Spammer: Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $6.5 million dollars to the ECO-BANK Burkina Faso West Africa when i was in missionary work for more thenÂ five years over there. Â

Me: Liar, liar, skirt on fire! If you were a missionary, you wouldn't be trying to bilk people out of their money and using an over-done pity story to do it.

Spammer: Presently, I am using my laptop in the hospital at Frankfurt Germany where I have been undergoing treatment for my sickness.

Me: My oh but my goodness you sure get around!

Spammer: I lost my ability, even to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only one month to live.

Me: Um, like, you sort of - like, kind of - like, told me that already, yknow! Just sayin!
You're not too disabled to commit fraud... Still no tears...

Spammer: From my condition now, I decided to donate this fund for the work of God.

Me: Ooooooh, oooooooh, like OMGZOMGZOMG! Gotta do something, after all, "us poor little gullible schmucks" (according to you, at the other end of the modem, receiving your codswallop story and message SURELY want to help you do the work of God! Wrong! You're not working for God! You are trying to rob people, and you are using pity and playing on Christians sense of wanting to do God's work, against them! SHAME ON YOU!

Spammer: I want 70% of this money to be invested/donated to any motherless babiesâ€™ home of your choice because it is where I came from,

Me: Not gonna happen. I don't have a lot of money to throw around and you certainly aren't going to give me 7% of any fund, because it doesn't exist! I wouldn't even give you my spare change!

Spammer: poor homes, the deaf homes, and churches etc.

Me: Look, you have the resources, you don't need me, heck, I'd be in need of these funds before you would, so don't bother me with this jibberish that doesn't even make sense.

Spammer: All I seek for, is a God fearing person like you, who will carry out my last wishes

Me: "last" wishes? Hah! That's a hot one! I'll bet you're just getting warmed up, wishing for all the gazillions you hope to get from kind-hearted Christians who may not yet be on to your fraudulent scheme!

Spammer: and before I emailed you today i prayed and the holy spirit gave me the confidence to send you this email.

Me: BULLCRAP! Whatever confidence you got, sure as heck didn't come from the Holy Spirit! And I can guess what you prayed, too.:

"Dear Unholy Fraud! Don't let me down now! Let me be successful in making every Christian I can manage to email, very, very sorry for me, and believing in me completely! Let them open their hearts, and then their wallets so that I may get all their money, and then their important information such as bank account numbers, names etc. so that I can keep tabs on them and send them more bogus stories so they give me all their money until they're broke, and then I'll laugh and dance my way to all the banks in the world because I'll be filthy rich! Dear Fraud, please make me rich!"

Spammer: I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

Me: Yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah, you already cried out this sob story several times within this one letter alone. Still, not a single tear for you from me!

Spammer: As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of my bank in Burkina Faso and my contact person who use to give me information of anything from the bank.

Me: Right, I don't want your bogus information, your bogus bank number or bogus contact. I won't open my account, believing you will deposit any money into it, because you would take my own money and run!

Spammer: My contact person, is one of the staff in the bank there. He will direct/advise you and given you any secret information on how you will get the fund to your bank account.

Me: Oh, so you're just the front for this international fraud&theft ring, you're not the mastermind, your bank contact person is? Well, as to advising, I have some for you and all of your sorry pals, VAMOOSE! In case you don't know, that means GO AWAY!

Spammer: Note:You will activate the account before the bank will transfer the fund to your bank account because the fund must have been dormant since then. Â

Me: Note - I will do no such thing, because I'm not falling for that crooked scheme!

Spammer: All I need from you is

Me: Besides being told in no uncertain terms to take a long walk off a short plank - woops, that's right, you can't walk... Anyway, do you never shut up?

Spammer: a confidential assurance that as soon as this fund is received by you ,it will be used for the said purpose.

Me: The word is "sed" not "said" and no, won't happen, because that isn't your true plan, and you're not getting one red cent from me!

Spammer: I am not afraid of death

Me: You might be if you swindled the wrong victim...

Spammer: hence that same God who made me fatherless and motherless since I was born

Me: So your life has and will continue to suck. If you keep this up, you're going to cry enough to require an ark... And still, no tears from me...

Spammer: knows what I will be and where I am going to.

Me: As if you really believe in and care about that, what a liar...

Spammer: I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.

Me: Yknow, I really can't believe that, nor can I tell you where you are destined since it isn't my job to work that out. Stop trying to exploit Christianity and Christians to perpetuate fraud! You are detestable!

Spammer: Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

Me: Even the devil can quote scriptures and try to use them to suit his own ends! So don't give me any more of your phony twisted religious exploitive crap! God will not fight for you to help you rob innocent, honest people who never did you any harm!

Spammer: My God must help you to get this money as I told you above amen,

Me: Your god is not my God. My God is the real one, your god has a very different name, it's called Greed!

Spammer: because you are the only one that my mind convinced me to contact.

Me: Well, that's at least a little more honest, your mind made you do it. Anyway, so I'm the one and only, yet you sent this to a list of "undisclosed recipients" Riiiiiiiight...

Spammer: Please send me your Full name,Age,Occupation, Full Address, Your Tele phone Number and your International passport or any official ID Card like driving lenience.

Me: My first name is None. My last name is Business. My full name is None Of Your Business
I'm 0/105-years old.
I'm a retiree student ditch-digger working on computers in a high-rise right in the center of the Alaskan Australian jungle desert.
I live on 1234 Smart Street, Spambustation, Hoaxton.
my phone number is: area code 544 (that spells "lie") 000-0000...
we don't have drivers "leniences" here.

Spammer: I shall forward all those informationâ€™s

Me: I just bet you would, if you had that info...

Spammer: to my bankÂ in Burkina Faso/my contact person in the bank there and I will let them know that youâ€™re my next of kin.

Me: Thank goodness that isn't true! I wouldn't want to be related to you! Anyway, sure, forward a big "Bugger off!" to your bank contact person as well if you like.

Spammer: I must instruct them to transfer the fund to your bank account as soon as you contact them. Â Waiting for your urgent reply. Mrs Joy Sam Sogoba Â

Me: And I must instruct you to forget it. You'll never get a thing from me other than a rough sendoff!

Nigerian/Sudanese/Senegal Spammers Get No Love.

2010-07-20T23:49:00.003-06:00

I got a Nigerian spamm email in my personal inbox and decided to use BSpamFree's email to tell them off, and in addition to blocking them at my main address, maybe this would redirect them to the BSpamFree address instead. What follows are the exchanges. This spammer should've taken the hint after being told in no uncertain terms to get lost.

* * *

From: Grace Koffih grecakoffih@yahoo.com
Reply-to: gracekoffih@hotmail.com

Me: Who?

To: undisclosed recipients:

Me: Oh yay...

Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 10:02 AM
Subject: Hello,

Me: Um okay, who the heck are you?

Spammer: Hello,

Me: Am I supposed to know you?

Spammer: How is everything with you, I picked interest on you when i saw your email.

Me: I never emailed you...

Spammer: I really want to have a good friendship with you.

Me: Why? You haven't said anything yet that even makes sense and you sent this bulkmail. The "undisclosed recipient" thing sort of gives that away. So which one of the undiscloseds do you really want to be friends with? Which email was so interesting to you? That leaves me out since I never sent you anything.

Spammer: Beside i have something very vital to disclose with you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.

Me: What public site? You sent this to my private inbox and to a host of others. So disclose away. What is it that's so terribly vital? Or do I even want to know? Should I care?

Spammer: I will be very happy, If you can get back to me, through my e-mail Is So we can get to know each other better,and i well give you my pictures and also tell you more about me ok

grace.

Me: What is this pile of swill? I don't want your pictures.

Me: Yeah, you didn't get the hint yet?

Spammer: Hello Sweethart,

Me: Like I said, I'm not your sweetheart!

Spammer: Thank you very much for your mail, and the hand of friendship,

Me: You're thanking me for telling you to get lost and you think that is a hand of friendship? Chick, you have some problems!

Spammer: I appreciate that you put the time to write, even if you have not seen me, I believe this friendship will be built on trust and love.

Me: Keep dreaming, because I don't want your friendship, and there's no way I'll ever trust you. But you can trust me to tell you to take a hike!

Spammer: I am. Greca koffih, 23 year old medical student,

Me: But you said your name was "Grace" in your last email. What changed? You can't even make up your own mind what your name is. Anyway, so when you're not studying, you spend your spare time sending sickly sweet emails to total strangers?

Spammer: my father blessed with a memory of the name later.

Me: Huh? That was totally garbled.

Spammer: koffih Abuu.

Me: So what's up with this? Is Koffih your first or last name?

Spammer: who was Deputy Director General of CNPC oil refinery company in Khartoum in Sudan,

Me: Just because there really is such a company doesn't make anything else you say, true.
http://www.cnpc.com.cn/eng/cnpcworldwide/africa/Sudan/

Spammer: was killed along with my favorite Mom.

Me: Uh, your favorite mom? Oh, I get it, your father was a polygamist. They still practice that exploitation of the female gender in Sudan.

Spammer: Please helps me in what I have to say.

Me: You get no help from me.

Spammer: I know it must be sacred and surprised with my proposal,

Me: Sacred? Nothing about this email is sacred. Or surprising, for that matter. I'm thinking Nigerian scam...

Spammer: but please believe in me as a truly lonely heart, with much difficulty,

Me: Yeah, whatever, there's nothing I can do about that.

Spammer: but my condition is forced to do this.

Me: And you're just going to tell me all about it, I'm sure... *Rolling eyes*

Spammer: I depride of their legitimate origin, because of my refugee status. As a refugee here, and do not have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or something.

Me: Right, you still haven't moved me to tears yet.

Spammer: This is the law of Senegal.

Me: Wait, I thought you were in the Sudan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan

Spammer: I chose to contact you after my prayers.

Me: Yeah, I'll just bet...

Spammer: In short, I would like to reveal much about you

Me: You'd like to reveal much about me? That should be enough warning right there for anyone to keep away from you...

Spammer: if you will help me move to your country to a substance that I inherited from my parent.

Me: You get no help from me! I thought I already told you that. Besides, you don't know where I live, and I'm pretty sure your dad and his harem and 5,000 kids didn't visit here let alone leave a substance here for you to inherit...

Spammer: I have a substantial amount of $ 5.7M (five million seven hundred thousand U.S. dollars).

Me: As I thought, an account transaction scam. Well, since you're sitting on that sizable pile, you sure don't need my help.

Spammer: He deposit this money and using my name and the closest relatives of money.I am unbale take money because of my refugee status here in Senegal.

Me: Who's this 'he' anyway? And like I'd believe this bilje...

Spammer: I would like to assist my money back when they are transferred shall be in your account will take less than total cash and send to me, it will be used for my travel documents and ticket to come to your country.

Me: You get no money from me, liar, and I definitely don't want the likes of you moving here!

Spammer: I kept this secret because I do not want to hurt in any way, the only person who knows this is one of the venerable sister here who is just like my mother.

Me: Oh, is this where I'm supposed to well up with tears and open my bank account wide for you? Not going to happen, chick, scram!

Spammer: Please keep it to yourself and do not tell anyone as I believe that these people who killed my father are still after me.

Me: Yeah right, you want me to just hand over all my money and keep my mouth shut about it so no one would find out you're a fraud. Forget it, I'm going to show this on a public site!

Spammer: Because I was afraid of losing their lives and receive money if people know about it.

Me: Hornswoggle!

Spammer: Attached here is my photo and you also have yours too.

Me: Guess what? You failed. This email account is set not to receive attachments. And I never gave you my photo...

Spammer: I am waiting to see your mail to my email.

Me: Hope you like getting called a liar and a fraud, then...

Spammer: here is my baby number you can call me OK.

Me: I don't see a number, and wouldn't call you anyway...

Spammer: Thank you and God bless.

Me: Don't give me this "God bless" stuff! And you're not welcome.

Spammer: Sweet and embraced Kisssssssssssssssss

Me: EWWWWWW, GET AWAY! YUCK!

Spammer: Your Lonely Friend Greca.,.

Me: And if you're waiting for me to be your friend, you'll stay lonely forever...
