"New" Way of Spamming and Computer Invasion

Recently, I have begun to be barraged with fake Daemon-Mailer emails that say that email that I sent could not be delivered.  I was immediately skeptical and black-flagged the first one before checking it out.  These emails often have attached documents and try to re-direct to web sites.  Also, not surprisingly, all of them are either hardcore porn ads or advertisements for enhancing the size of certain body parts with very explicit details.  Fortunately, Thunderbird caught on quickly and tags virtually all as Junk.

I just wish there were some way to return the "favor" by sending a "loaded" return email that contains a trigger to wipe out the server that sends this garbage.

If we could carpet bomb the general area from which they come, I wouldn't object.

Geez.  Last time I email you guys...

Ace; I thought having them look like they came from Johnny Damon and Norman Mailer would throw them off..
Ring bells for service.

Cool; poast the pictures.

You know, hearing you guys talk about this Demon Mailer makes me think a good web money maker would be to offer a course in "Speaking Spam."  You know, the way those things are titled and sound, where they go:

absurdity congruent flat viscosity rancid battlement alleviate bulbous fusion grocer robust confiscate thwart voyage bonafide rant lentil facile sombrero ingenuity.

Huh.  That'd be kinda cool on a tee shirt. 

Ace; "they go"...  heh.

"they go;" huh.  Bet you thought "well, that'll get a rise out of the Yankee in Deliverance country, and county.  Well, I fooled you; I'm just going to ignore the usage error de jur deejeur, like, whatever.  Not going to get me all riled up over some stupid idiom that half the adult population and all of the juveniles use.  See; doesn't bother me a dang bit any more;nor less.  I'm just not going to fuss over the idiotic word selection that means some group of people went somewhere.
No sireee, Bob.

The one that bothers me now, at least since my transplantation, is the local pronunciation of dollars.  'Tax dollas, revenue dollas, local lottery wininng dollas, game show contestant winning dollas, bridge re-building dollas, geez.  But, at least I don't have to listen to it here.  Even the local TV reporters well you get the idea.  Just like that stoopid commercial about bakies....

You are a Yankee in King Arthur's Court.  Yahnkuh in Kang Athuh's Cauht.

Here's a Nawlins tune I'm sure you'll remembah:  "Hellah, Dollah.  Well, Hellah, Dollah.  Ahts Zo Nise To Half You Beck Wah You Bahlong."

Ace; what the heck are the "bakies"..?
