So, I got this incredible email today asking if a certain picture of me that was found via google could be used for an article. See, for one of my co-ed fraternity composites in the years after I graduated but still hung around, I decided to have my picture taken as I was hosing a pledges blackbook (either you understand that sentence, or you don't. I am not explaining it further.) I did. And that was that. It was about 15 years ago.

Well, this person contacted me about using my picture for an article in which they need a picture of what looks like a crazed evangelical. I'm all for it so I said yes. When I posted about this to the fraternity email list (what, I'm too old to be on such a list? Tell that to all of the other alumni on said list) someone asked if I should update the picture. So, I figured, why not?

In the “Funny or Disturbing” Category we have the spam I just received. (Click for full size version)

Kudos to gmail (through which I route all of my mail these days so I can read it at work and at home) for having excellent spam filters and trapping this one. I only caught it doing a routine scan of my spam folder to find any false positives.

Now I need to wash the joining of “Smegol” and “Sex Partner” out of my head.

Thanks to iTunes, I now know what my wife has been doing when she's been out and about. I'm shocked and, frankly, disappointed. (It's the third item in the four below.)
