Best spam title for the past few months: "ductwork accelerometer." Thursday there was a note outside my door from Zoned Girl that the furnace had gone out, did I have time to look at it, or what was the landlord's phone number? Well, I'm pleased I'm #1 on the list of "people to poke broken things", but I was running late, and I really hoped she meant the hot water heater (again!), since I'm not so keen on clambering around under the house poking things. Left her the number and the location of the long-necked lighter in case of water heater, ran to work.

Friday, landlord came and fixed the furnace, which apparently had loose wires (under the wood and plaster house from 1905, oh what joys of insurance I need a fire extinguisher). Saturday it went out again (cold!). So I'm paging through my email on the web to nail all the spam before downloading and reading mail, and I see "ductwork accelerometer," and my first thought is, Dammit, not the ductwork accelerometer, too!

This house totally seems like the kind of place that would have a ductwork accelerometer.

Hey you! This has nothing to do with the amazing ductwork accelerometer, I just want to get you to remind me to buy you a drink or something at ACUS in thanks for autographed comic booky goodness. I think that was a run-on sentence...

This could be simplified if she ends up in Dude! again...

It is my dearest hope that I end up in Dude! again. More fun than it's legal to have.

Oh, hey, yeah! I'd totally forgotten that. Hm. Did I say "drink"? I meant "command of your legions of terror." Just for a day. Or so.

...And a drink, too. :D

Sadly, his "legions of terror" are pretty much just me and a stuffed doll.

Hm. I see potential, there...

Look, I don't know what you heard, but the stories about that event are exaggerated. And besides, I was drunk.

And besides, the muppet seduced me

ductwork accelerometer?

If your life was a Star Trek episode, then the ductwork accelerometer would be this awesome tool that would power up your ducts and give your home an amazing power that would allow it to defy the rules of time and space.

Next episode? Everyone would conveniently forget that the ductwork accelerometer existed, and the power that you developed would also be forgotten about.

It sort of sucks when life imitates TV.

Gwen DeMarco: What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?
Jason Nesmith: 'Cause it's on the television show.
Gwen DeMarco: Well forget it, I'm not doing it, this episode was badly written.

The subject line contains a spam title I received today.

After much thought and imagination as to what was inside the note, I clicked on it and...it was a watch advertisement.

:(

Man, I'm so glad that other people get watch spam, too! I thought I was the only one.
