Coffee shops historically have been a gathering spot for poets, artists and malcontents seeking a forum to espouse their views; which just happens to be the purpose of this community. So, let's have at it.

The Wonder of Junk Mail n Coffee

March 28th 2008 21:07
Hmmm, I brought my ancient laptop with me today, thinking that while gratefully sipping my morning slap the sap outta me triple shot latte, with no foam; I'd go through my email. The affair proved boring, and then I stumbled into my junk mail box eureka! My imagination ran amok and my evil doppelganger manifested its weaselly self. I went through the list, selecting to an offer and linking it to others that followed. It was easier than feeding it to the dog or lining the bird cage with the stuff; safer too.


Do not attempt this without some spicy hot chocolate, the recipe follows at some point below.


Marsha is offering: Low prices on Enlargement, while
Colin is offering: Visa Line of Credit, so that I can afford
Glenda’s offer: to greatly improve your stamina, or to take advantage of this info
Carlton’s offer: How to enlarge penis size, but perhaps buy
Isabella’s offer: Officine Paneria replica watches, or
Alyssa’s offer: sale on genuine fake Rolexes, or
Replica Watch dealer’s offer: Jacob & Co Watche, and then to take advantage of
Cody’s offer: debt consolidation lending, with
Enrico’s offer: 81% discount-code #fxmj, would allow me to follow
Hubert’s offer: accept the correct decision, and
Carolina’ suggestion: stop being a loser, because
Janette says: Business Loan - $10 K-$100 K, suggesting I can afford to accept

Ty’s offer: purchase medications with Canadian Pharmacy and enjoy low prices, while
Enoch’s offer: rich and famous-exposed, insider information
Cartier’s offers: 100% satisfaction is guaranteed, with
Freddy’s offer: Cialis-cheapest prices, and will guarantee
Aileens’ claim: get a real full measurement. Oh I’m getting a headache.
Brenton offers: Relax-take a deep breath, we have the answers you seek,
Colon offers: Flush up to 20 excess pound out of your body, while
Casting offers: Movie extras, actors, models needed now, bring your own couch, finally
Cancun offer: Experience 4 nights in beautiful Cancun –free! The days are costly, but night are blissfully free.

Now wasn't that odd? Fun with junk mail-who knew?


Spiced Hot Chocolate

From the March 2004 issue of Bon Appetit magazine

Ingredients
6 cups whole milk
¾ cup brown sugar
15 whole cardamom pods
12 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise pods
¾ teaspoon coriander seeds
¾ teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon vanilla

Method
Pour milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add sugar, all spices and red pepper flakes. Cook on low heat to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cover and let mixture steep for approximately 20 minutes.

Add cocoa powder and vanilla and bring back to a simmer, whisking until blended. Strain through a sieve, leaving behind spices, and pour into mugs.

Savor the day.

It doesn't get any better.

Raven

How do I enlarge what I don't have? and if I had one would enlargement make it last longer or cut it off it in its prime.

I'll have the usual iced chocolate please, no, I'll stay away from the hard stuff, and out of quips STILL I c. However, the substitute is doing well, did u write it yourself, did u?

U really need to get your ordering in order, how else do you expect your business to grow, advertising it here won't help much, average viewer has no dough and those that do, meanly hang on to it.

The enigmas of life, have u noticed?

I don't know about u, but my day is definitely going to get better, as soon as I go out the door.

Oh, next time could u do a Bombe Alaska do you think. ( no snide reference to suicide workers)

You're very welcome Tracey, good to have you pop in. Raven

Nice to be here, the atmosphere is very relaxing. It gives me a break from my uni assignment.

Ah, the infamous academic overload syndrome; try the chocolate on me Tracey, you'll feel better. Raven

Can I help with any homework? Raven

I wish you could, Raven, but at the moment, I don't understand it to explain to anyone (Including myself). I'll just keep on reading and hopefully something will slot into place.

If not, then I'll put some music on, then walk Fergal and try again later. Sometimes a break and air helps

Thanks for your kind offer!

Oh, good enough to die for, and you actually knew what I meant. You are truly quite truly cruel, and don't tell me I am going all that way to do it myself.

Do order it in please, I'll be there to eat it pronto.

Wasn't I respectful of other cultural beliefs, praise sire, praise, that's what I want, and you're obviously a great stress reliever for gals like Tracy.

Ever heard of having the weekend off?

C u buddy pal.

I'm going out to beg, pays better than Google.

March has been an even leaner meaner month.

Shame, shame, shame.

It truly is Damo, desperately so. Raven

Begging pays? I'm outta here, hahaha, mebbe I can earn a big buck over the weekend. Cool.

That recipe looks great! I am going to make some for Tisha and I and photograph the end result, prior to its consumption of course.

Sometimes a little understanding and encouragement goes a long way. It's an inner teacher thing.

Perhaps Orblers ought to collaborate and write a steamy but humorous online novel and charge / solicit / beg for contributions for each chapter published online. What'd you think?

Have a great weekend katyzzz.

I have 7 email accounts myself - full of those offers for this's and thats....lol.
(I don't think they have much chance selling me mobile phone cover when i dont have a cell or car insurance when i dont have a car or pills to make me please my woman when i have a man, but.... you gotta give them credit for still trying!)

You know what I'm talking about, it drives me bonkers sandeye, but I find the bad grammar, spelling and not so cleverly disguised messages hilarious at times. So, I play with them. Raven

The spiced hot chocolate or more junk email Amy? I'll going with the hot Chocolate, oh wait, did you read the recipe for the cake? Wow, that looks tasty, is that the thing you want? Raven

Oh, have you ever been the nearest living relative of an extremely rich man or woman who just died and had no one to leave his/her wealth to?

The lawyers usually contact you and ask you to contact them or the bank in barbados or something.

I didn't know I had at least 5 extremely far relatives who were this rich.

Wow, what a fortunate lady you are Hazel. The spam world is just bursting at the seams with kind, well meaning folks, sure-hahahaha. Raven

Sorry I'm late Raven, I was just trying to collect my official prize of $25M, I couldn't find out where to go. It's funny the email was not addressed to me, it seems to have been addressed to everyone.

Strange, perhaps I'm a little naive, do you think I could have a jaffa milkshake please and that bomb thing looks terrific.

It's not as assassin thing, is it? meringuely disguised.

Do put me down for the begging, I'm surely in need of a new laptop, boo hoo hoo and I can't afford it, floods of tears.

Comment by tlcorbin

March 30th 2008 12:49
What? You had to share your $25M with the rest of the known world and it's 6.5B population, which meant you owed the utiltity company more money than you won because of the expense incurred for receiving the email notifying you of your huge prize? That is so like a darn spammer!

The Bombe is safe, we had it sniffed over by a an airport security dog, and he didn't really seem to be much of a drooler. Definitely not a foolishly disguised assassin; they'd wind up expiring from puncture wounds with such a tasty looking meringue hairpiece.

Oh my Krystal, stop your tears; happy news just arrived, I've been selected to receive a new Kinardly* laptop and you can have it when it arrives.

Raven

*Kinardly-kinardly operate or stay in one piece.
