I don't like spam! ... except this one.

I got spam in my mailbox yesterday.

I am sure this is not exciting to you. "I get spam all of the time, srah," you say, belligerently, "You're going to have to be more interesting than that."

The subject of the email was "viagra... XXX... vicotin... 25-50%... xxx".

"Srah, seriously," you say, tapping your foot. "Why are you wasting my time? I get email just like that too. Don't go thinking you're anything special."

The difference is, I got spam in my mailbox. Not my email inbox, but my real live meatspace mailbox at school.

This is the coolest thing I've ever gotten in my mailbox. And I don't know who sent it to me. I remember having a conversation with someone about getting so much spam in our SI email inboxes that it was going to start spilling over into the mailboxes... but now I can't remember who it was.

So I keep asking people if they sent me spam. They look at me funny and I have to show it to them. The most common reaction is, "It wasn't me... but I wish it had been!"

Was it you?

That is funny!

I told my husband about this a little bit ago on the phone. He says you should write "unsubscribe" on the outside of it and put it in outgoing mail to see what happens.

I was thinking...what would a virus look like?

The unsubscribe idea is mint.

(As in good.)
