Good Persons Writing To From You – Contest

James Ensor’s latest inspired me to do something I meant to do quite a while back but forgot about.

These are the spam names of spam I’ve actually received. 
The contest is to to take one or more of these names and do something with it/them.  Clever background, story, one liner, fake headline, I dont know, you figure it out. 

Remember, I really did get spam with each and every one of these "names" as the sender.  I still crack up reading them.  Presented in no particular order, or, the order I got them in. Not sure.

Random: Saw you on the front page, these are hysterical. Third Fifth Bank is my favorite, I think. Sorry to hear your daughter is ill.

Those spam names are hysterical.

My favorite is definitely Susquehanna M. Potluck. That name is going into an entry at some point.

You get far more interesting spam then I do. I always get emails for straight porn sites (ew). I hope your daughter is okay. Lots of hugs, John

They’re giving a patient seizure medicine who’s never had a seizure and meanwhile just ignoring her other symptoms? Sleepiness is the primary side effect for Kepra, if kepra.com is to be believed. Anxiety is the primary side effect of being in her demographic group in 21st century America. I don’t know about the rest of the world. Scotland might be just the thing for her. She’s clearlyoverwhelmed in her current environment. One thing I believe is it’s pretty important to find a competent female doctor for your daughter. If you can find a man who really gets girls that age, fine, but they are rare. I mean, I don’t get girls that age unless they are extremely mature or hyper-rational and have Mr. Spock as their role model, but at least I know I don’t get it. But she needs someone who can distinguish subtlties between normal end-of-year fatigue and depression and between normal stress reaction and anxiety disorder or whatever other concerns you have. Unless a man had a lot of sisters, he’s got no idea what the range of normal might be. Especially after just a twenty minute office visit. Deve is a sexist. Say it.

Underestimating U. Sherry Hawwwwwwwww ! Keep us up to date with your daughter, ok? I’d be interested in knowing how the med works. (Her personal response to it.) Also… keep writing your own thoughts. Don’t keep all that stress bottled up. It’s not good. ((hugs))

I’ve never had good spam like that! I would even mind it clogging up my inbox as long as it gave me a good laugh…

Goodness, I hope everything will be OK with your daughter. Where do they get these names?
