Favorite spam subjects I’ve received in the past week, with responses:

  • Is crysis real?  (Yes!  But you’ll need a really good computer to play it.)
  • Neighbors’ meeting about parking crash  (I think this is an overreaction to a small incident that we can handle privately.)
  • Remember your one-timer?  (I didn’t realize people still remembered my amazing street hockey antics in high school!  Yes, I do remember my one-timer!)
  • You are hot all the time? The problem is your weight! (Oh.  That makes sense, now that you mention it.)
  • Replica Pens (Finally!  A legitimate online location where I can get a replica of Barack Obama’s pen!)
  • inspire women’s passion with a +1,5  (I’m not sure if this is for a real-life product or someone who’s going to get my World of Warcraft character some sweet gear.)
  • Girls won’t dump you!  (That’s so…passive aggressive.  I’m depressed now.)

German phrases that my page-a-day calendar has taught me to say so far this year that are of no use to me:

  • I’d rather go snowboarding.
  • St. Moritz is known for its many winter sports.
  • I am a medical doctor.
  • My daughter is fifteen years old.
