Spam as a Second Language

The "Too Long for Twitter" Edition:

"GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF GOD!"

Any god in particular?

YES! BELET-SERI, THE MESOPOTAMIAN RECORDER OF THE DEAD ENTERING THE UNDERWORLD!

Huh...Is that a powerful god--?

VERY!

--because it sounds kind of like a clerical position.

IT'S MOSTLY DATA ENTRY!

Okay...

TO BE HONEST, WE USUALLY FILL THE POSITION WITH TEMP GODS.

    I love the spam you get! I've often thought of doing a blog post on my own weird spam. I've gotten some goodies!

    And check out my blog's mention in Ellery Queen Magazine! Amazing!

    Where's your intrepid reporter, Chris Vosburg, these days? I thought of him recently while watching "Kansas City Confidential" with the inimitable Lee Van Cleef!

    Congratulations, Debbi! A well-deserved honor.

    And I don't know where Engineer Vosburg has been keeping himself lately. I hope all is well and that he'll pop up with an eyewitness report or an apposite hunk of Hollywood trivia.

    Does Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light, know this chick? They sound like they'd make a great couple.
