Tales from the Spam Filter: Neil Armstrong Is Still Spamming Me

Yet another email from America's favorite astronaut, this time threatening to break up my marriage if I don't buy his magic man pills. That freakin' Armstrong, always with the hard sell. (sorry)

Tales from the Spam Filter: Sigh, want some drugs?

What, no more Viagra poetry or sweet euphamisms? No mention of "Angry Pants Sticks" or "Love Pencils"? Spamming Zombie Email Account (from an FAA-contracted aircraft parts manufactuer!), you disappoint me. You're not even trying anymore.

Hon, I'm from Baltimore. I bet I know more places to buy drugs than you do.

Tales from the Spam Filter: Viagara Must Be Outsourcing to the Federal Pen

When Neil Armstrong spammed us, hawking Viagara, I thought, it's been a while since he's been in the national spotlight. Maybe he could use the money. When Steve Young emailed me extolling the virtues of male enhancement, I thought, well, Rafael Palmeiro touted Viagara. This is just another athlete cashing in. But this spam breaks new ground, as the man convicted of assisting Timothy McVeigh with the tragic Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, Terry Nichols, now has a new job--you guessed it, he's following in the footsteps of Armstrong and Palmeiro. Viagara, who will be next?


I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't find it in my own junk email folder. It brings a whole new meaning to the term, "Work release program." Zing!

Tales from the Spam Filter: Bring Out the Chains, Steve Young Wants to See a Measurement

Take it from Steve Young: you suck.

Luckily, he's here to help you prepare.

And look out, he's got a thesaurus. "Efficacious"?

One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Male Enhancement

Every once in a while there's some interesting email krill that gets caught up in the baleen plates of our spam filter. Today's haul was particularly exciting. Apparently the nation's most storied space pioneer has snagged a part time gig...spamming me with ads for a product that, as I'm sure those who know me will attest, I probably, possibly, most likely might not need.

Some things you never see coming.
