What’s A Motto With You?

Mail

I do not get too much SPAM mail and I certainly have no intentions of competing with the wonderful Spam Observations of the Cow. However, I did receive one of the most delightful (as delightful as SPAM mail can be, I suppose) messages this morning, which has me tossing around the idea of giving the Ministry a motto. To say that I feel compelled to share is an understatement. Here is the letter in its entirety, thoughtlessly written by Fohl Hardmon:

Ahn nyeong,

Downlloadable Softtware [link removed]

This rotten foolery. You didn’t send it? Said produce a loud
rattle. And he made the earth to stirring note of hail,
columbia, happy land. Mrs. Left the one white layman at
nulato seething with in number, and diverse kinds of gems
and diverse serpent. It doth not deserve death at thy hands.
placed on satyaki’s car. Then, people caused his aimlessly
across his path. Senior, half his senses those of a lion,
and so exceedingly beautiful? Had not heard him open the
door or close it. She.

I hope that you feel as moved as I do. Although the ending is rather abrupt, I did find it overwhelmingly beautiful and powerful. I find myself in anticipation for the sequel, as I desperately want to know what becomes of the enigmatic “She”.

My favorite part, however, is the bit with “this rotten foolery.” A most excellent motto and arguably great advice to live by. Thank you, Mr. (?) Hardmon, for instilling me with your wisdom and congratulations for being the current frontrunner in terms of Ministry mottos.

    This is strangely similar to the last Televangelist fundraising letter I got in the regular mail.

  5. Atlas Cerise Says:

    AngryMan: I didn’t know you could read!

    Colonel: Religion, SPAM mail… I think it all comes from the same place.

    I get quite a bit of spam that is caught by Akismet. Some pretty weird stuff there….

  7. Atlas Cerise Says:

    Sirdar: Yea, Akismet is definitely helpful. Unfortunately, this one came to me via regular email.

    Check out the spam count on my blog.
    The shit I get is incredible.

    Some of it is nearly as genius as what you got.

    And the side car is still open.

    How do I put in a request for a special photoshopped photo?

  9. Atlas Cerise Says:

    Red Roach: All my Photoshopped photos are special.

    What’s scary about spam is … someone is responding to this crap or they’d have stopped sending it a long time ago. WHO would respond to shit like that??
