Sometimes the junk mail that I get in my email box cracks me up. In the last few hours, I've deleted an offer for a low rate mortgage (um, I rent), a special on steaks (steaks? on the internet? why?), numerous invitations to take a look at the triple X picture of the day (um, thanks, but no), an offer to join an online dating service (again, thanks, but no), information on how to finish my degree at home (how do they know I haven't already finished my degree?), and an offer to buy Viagra online. The last one is probably the funniest to me, since I don't suffer from erectile dysfunction (since I'm female), and since according to the idiots that keep bombarding me with dating service junk mail I couldn't find a date by myself to save my life, I really wouldn't have much use for it.

How do I get onto these mailing lists? I know that part of it had to do with a certain site giving out my information without telling me. (Yes, Yahoo, I'm looking at you.) But I still think that part of it is because I opened my big mouth. I was having dinner with Roger Mexico one night, and we somehow got on the subject of porn spam and Hotmail accounts. I remarked that I'd never been received any, and he couldn't believe it. Two days I got bombarded with it, and it hasn't stopped since then.

What I don't get is why Zappagirl still gets relatively little of this crap in her mailbox, and I get the same email from a "nurse" inviting me to read and/or see (wouldn't know which, since I've never bothered to open it) "what she did with two of her patients last night."

Ew, ew, ew.
