Secret Agent Girl
Wed Jun 30 2004


You know I am just swamped over here today. I don’t really have a minute to spare. I think I have discovered a secret plot. THEY are amassing their forces right under our noses and we need to pay attention. I decided to stop my work for a few minutes and send off this report. In case something happens, there will be evidence that I was onto THEM.

Every day I get spam emails. I delete them like one swats flies at a 4th of July picnic. But they just keep on coming. They have randomly generated subject lines. I have made fun of them before, but it suddenly dawned on me that these might be coded messages.

Not being a trained cryptologist, I have been struggling to make heads or tails of this stuff. I just KNOW there is something to it. Here is a sample of what I have been working on today, remember now, this is the raw data, just as it came into my mailbox….

Carrageen leaden dirunal
Cross tennessee drought
Stun cadillac atrophy
Truth is comptroller phenyl supreme
Direct yellowknife jocular
Dodge regimen stowage
Orders universal whittier cohort
Cheesecloth dioxide marque
Cross timon literal newsboy
Kodiak above flynn

You see my problem? This is tough. But I have a theory. I think it is saying this:

“A cross Cadillac jackknifed into a Dodge and the cohort, Timon the newsboy, got a Kodak of our man Flynn.”

So if I were you, I would be on the lookout for any cranky Cadillacs in your area. Just to be on the safe side.

Of course I am going to have to put aside my crypto work for a while tomorrow, as I have a job interview. Do you think it would be a good thing to put this on my resume’? I mean “secret cryptologist” sounds pretty impressive. You think they might need someone with those qualifications at a Heating and Air Conditioning company?

They might.

(I’m tellin’ you people, somebody better get over here and keep an eye on her. I’m alone with this woman all day. You don’t know what it’s like. Bring medication. Or tea. Perhaps chocolate…. Yes, bring chocolate. I’ll set up the I.V. )

    I think I secretly covet your spam. You get all the cool subject lines and everything. Maybe I need to sign up for some junk online, get some spam myself. ;o) It was looking good for a little while, but then Yahoo got their act together and now my bulk mail folder is always empty.

    Dang, I almost miss all the good spam I got on AOHell. Now that I am on a little local cable company, I no longer get spam to keep me entertained *sigh*.

    *throws chocolate at you from a safe distance*

    Too bad you are not closer, I know of several perfect jobs for you where I work. I think of you a lot in my line as as a matter of fact.

    I knew it! I knew it! Now it is all making sense!

    I will have to be more conscious about my SPAM now......hmmmmmm, my mind just started wondering if SPAM mail is actually a cheap advertising ploy for the SPAM meat byproduct?

    I think your theory though makes more sense though........after all this talk of SPAM I am getting hungry maybe I will go fry up some SPAM.....Augh stop it, stop it! It IS a cheap advertising ploy! Damn the man!

    You know, I've speculated the same thing myself. If I could I'd send heaps of chocolate. We've still got a mostly uneaten birthday cake here to get through yet. ;-)

    I am SO glad you figured out what those odd words were all about. Now, I'm going to do some checking, too. I believe if we put our heads together, we just might save the world.

    Shalom

    Yahoo! hasn't got its act together enough for me. I can expect 40-50 spams in my Bulk folder over a long weekend. And, this morning, my Yetzirah Notify was in my Bulk folder instead of my Inbox. After all this time. Go figure.

    At work, every day, I get two or three emails from very weird names promising me this may be the last email I receive from them (I wish) regarding that mortgage application they processed from me that I never sent them.

    Maybe it's not really spam. Maybe it's a sign from GTW that I'm supposed to buy a house! Or-or-or- get a degree from an unaccredited online university! Or-or- enlage my member for HER pleasure! Or even send my bank information to that poor soul in Nigeria!!!

    Uh-oh, I think I might need some chocolate, too.
