Read this article yesterday, which got me thinking about some of my favorite spam emails. Most of them come through to my office -- lucky me! -- but are trapped by a service we use which then emails me daily to see if any of them are actual legitimate emails. Which is great, since as I've proselytized any number of times, I'd rather be sure that I'm getting all my email, than worry that some unknown blocker is keeping manuscripts and submissions and offers from me. Anyway, for your reading pleasure on a sunny spring day, selections from my spam filter:

• Choose Now Fiction or Reality! Fiction please. I hate Reality.
• Full of Health? Then Don't Click! Well, I do have this tickle in my throat...
• Tired of Forgetting? Wait, what was I doing again?
• Kate, Your Cable Bill is Too High! I know, right?
• I Got Here... So Can You! Yes, well I hope I can get a message to my own inbox.
• We cure any desease! Can you fix my rampant case of typo?
• YOUR CABLE BILL IS TOO HIGH I said I know already, but I need my DVR!
• What IS 0EM Software And Why D0 You Care? Actually, I don't care.
• tired of working for someone ? Who isn't?
• Kate, Find singles over thirty looking for love Ah, sweet. On the internet? Who does that?

Heh. Anyway, that little glance into my spam mail filter sponsored by PayPal and ChaseManhattan, who are so very concerned about my nonexistent accounts with them.
