santa hath brought me spam

My wonderful wife has been signing me up for some spam and has been having fun doing it.  It is funny, how things start from signing up at target, toys r us, and other places, to things like this:

Now, if this isn't gold, I don't know what is!  Good ole Silence.  Really?  This person's name is Silence?  Her Skype is happygir5281.  I am fairly certain this person is a stripper.  Just sounds like a stripper name.  Perhaps stripping isn't working out, so happygir5281/Silence needs to moonlight by selling batteries.  

Thank you, sir/madam ... YOU have anice day as well!

I think I'm going to email him/her and see how the biz is going.

Finally, one piece of bonafide spam

In my business account, I can probably get 150 spam a day (routed to an offsite spam filter, of course!)  I thought this would be super simple to accumulate an unlimited amount of spam within hours.

Not so.

In fact, after a few days of being live, I only have gotten one single piece of unsolicited spam.  What a rip-off, dude!  Yes, it just came in a few minutes ago.

It is from a place called "Improvements Family" or something - it is offering 15% off.  I'm not quite sure what a family improvement is.  Is it, perhaps, a roll of duct tape when one of the kids starts talking too much?  Surely that would be an improvement!  I jest.  Yes, I jest.

Wait a second!  darntheluck!  This is probably something that my wife had signed me up for - there is even a nice little unsubscribe button at the bottom.  ARGHHHHHH.

Ok, that's it  - I'm pulling out the big guns.  Time to post my email address on craigs list for all the bots to grab.

Time for you to SPAM ME...bwahahahahahahaha!

I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while, and now, since I had a free 15 minutes, I decided to set up the blog and email account.  So, here is the quest:  sign me up fro spam at tanmanspamfan@gmail.com - let's see how quickly we can burn through 7659 megabytes of space that gmail so graciously allots us.  Along the way, I'll note all of the fun and whacky emails I get.

What I need from you though, is to start signing me up for spam!

This is no doubt, a pointless experiment, but I would like to take what every single person on the web loathes (spam) and *ask* for it.  I get countless spam / junk in my mail box each day, and I would assume that you do too!  How quickly do you think we can fill this box up?

So please, for the love of pete:  won't you spam me?  tanmanspamfan@gmail.com
