Spam Mail--Goes With Soup

From Mrs Susan Morgan

N�[38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody

DEAREST ONE OF GOD

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Abram Morgan, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account.

Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don抰 have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don抰 want my husband抯 efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don抰 want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I don抰 need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband抯 relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information抯, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs susan morgan..

I get spam mail like this about once or twice a week. I don't honestly know how these spammers got my email address but their misspelled and badly phrased emails make me laugh. I know that there are people who do fall for crap like this but I'm not one of them. Besides, there is no way I could pass her off as a sister or even a daughter (considering we're only a few years apart in age). The weird thing is, all the emails come from different addresses so whoever these people are, they have cornered the market on at least 50 different email addresses from three different countries.

I know they are from the same person and/or group because all the emails are exactly the same except for the name and the amount of money they want to give me. I would like to know what happens if I reply. I'm assuming they ask for my bank account number and possibly social security number then take my massive wealth and awesome identity.

Also, I don't like when people use God's name to do stuff like this. I'm pretty sure that's a ticket to Hell or at least a good smiting. I'm not at all religious but this email kind of offends me.

Guy With a Bandana

More boob on face action in our future? And what's Jane's idea? More talk of breasts? I'm all for it.


Why is the trashman flailing his arms around like that? I sometimes think they do the art months in advance then just paste the joke in the panel sometimes leaving the art looking like it doesn't match up with the words. I've seen it in Beetle Bailey too so it must be a Mort Walker trait.


That's a very detailed comic book cover in today's Nancy. I'm glad to see that Nancy and Sluggo read DC Comics and not those dreadful Marvel ones.


"I meant something along the lines of chips or fries but..."

No, E-Trade. Just Don't.

I don't usually mind those eTrade commercials with the baby who buys and sells stocks (which I think is illegal) and shows how easy it is to do with eTrade. Well, the other night I saw the commercial that made me hate them. It's sad how one small thing can make me turn against something. But this small thing is a disgusting one. And not at all funny.

I'm not a fan of babies, I'll admit.  But I can stand babies as long as they are cute and not doing anything disgusting.  Spitting up, pooping, throwing up are gross.  Maybe some people think it's cute but I don't and I think a majority of Americans agree.

Trifecta? I Don't Know Ya.

I've been searching for years for the perfect epitaph for my tombstone. And now I found it. Thank you, Boy On a Stick and Slither!


Methinks the father/coach is abusive and treats the girl like crap so it's up to Mary and her meddling to smooth things out and bring father and daughter together again.


What kind of sound effect is "SLUUUUUD"? Not that I don't like it, or the panel layout, but it's just kind of weird.


I used to work for "Bombast" and it was not fun. I wonder if Sluggo will be able to watch TV after the digital conversion.

Love the chair, though.


"Mock election", I thought that they were going to go for a joke about the 2000 election. Hee hee, hanging chad.


The word jowls are not used as much as they should be in English lexicon. Whenever I think of jowls I picture Nixon or McCain. I don't notice jowls on anyone else though.


The first drawing of Oop made by kids for the 75th birthday. Here's to a whole week of probably semi-decent artwork done by kids whose newspapers are too cheap to drop Alley Oop for something decent.


I know that feeling all too well......


Brutus is lucky that Veeblefester didn't do more than just pour water on his head. I wanted to kill him. Didn't you.

Peanuts 10/13/08-10/19/08

Got a hodge-podge of strips for the week so let the rambling begin.

I think it's very weird to see these early Sally strips but be more familiar with the later Sally who always talked to the school building but didn't really like school all that much.  I'm also guessing that this strip was before the age of day care and preschool where Sally could go to school before she was five.

And it's kind of harsh saying that she didn't like it.  She just didn't get it.  Much like Rerun really when he entered Kindergarten, he liked it but it just didn't suit him.  I always figured Sally sat alone at lunch.

I always thought Snoopy wanting to be some other animal was always a little out of place.  He always seems generally happy to be a dog.  He gets to do whatever he wants, has a good owner and a decent place to live, but he's always pretending to be salmon or a vulture or some other animal.
And it also seems Snoopy gets very embarrassed if someone catches him being a different animal.  Much like a normal person would be slightly embarrassed if being caught by someone while they were pretending to be a salmon.

I know Schroder has no feelings for Lucy whatsoever but there was always something I liked about Lucy's undying love for Schroder.  No matter how bad he treated her, she always came back to lean on his piano.  But then if you actually read and paid attention to Lucy's love speeches to Schroder, you'd see a small tinge of Lucy just wanting that phat pianist paycheck.  Lucy's a gold-digger.

I've often wondered why Charlie Brown isn't liked.  I guess that's not really fair to say because Linus likes him and Peppermint Patty and Marcie like him.  Let's not forget Franklin and Roy when they met him.  Shermy also liked him when the strip began.

Lucy reminds me of Cartman from "South Park".  Believes she's well-liked and popular when really people can't stand her.

Why is Linus sleeping on Snoopy's doghouse?  Just for a guest bedroom joke?  I think by the time the strip ended in 2000, everyone had sleep on Snoopy's doghouse.  I've wondered how people could think that was comfortable because you are sleeping on a point.  It's not a flat surface like they put on the toys, it's a point.  It would really hurt your head to lay on that doghouse.

Even though I know it's cruel and mean, I love it when the kids draw on Charlie Brown's head.  They make it seem so effortless whether it's with a laundry marker or a crayon.  And Charlie doesn't get mad or even show any emotion, he just takes it.  I've often wondered what his parents thought when he walking into his house with his head covered with half the world, or a pumpkin face.

Busy, Busy Saturday

So Saturday was really busy, which is not unusual but it just seemed a lot busier than normal. First, me, my fiancee and my son went to eat at Wheatfields Bakery and had what was quite possibly the best waffle we've ever had. Don't worry we also had sandwiches. After lunch, we drove down to Baldwin City for the Maple Leaf Festival which is a huge arts and crafts fair.

The main reason we went there was to ride the train. The Midland Railway offers excursion rides from Baldwin to Nowhere, Kansas. During regular runs, the train can take you to the ghost town of Norwood, Kansas or all the way down to Ottawa, Kansas. While at the depot, I bought a book on the history of Baldwin and surrounding area which I had been looking for since about 1997 or so. I was proud and have now read it about three times in the last 24 hours.

After the train, we looked around at some of the stuff, I bought a pink shirt for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and of course, got funnel cake. When we got home, we had to get ready for my fiancee's parent's housewarming party which was pretty good. It was a decent crowd and the food, although just simple snack-y type food, was delicious.

Then we came home and just lounged around for a couple hours before going to bed. Next week, we have a family thing of mine to go to which hopefully will be fun and not at all embarrassing.

Saturday and Sunday In One Convenient Package

I'll give you the details on my Saturday later but for right now I have both the Saturday and Sunday comics for you.


Coincidentally, 13 and a quarter inches is also the length of Gunther's...fabric scissors.


Why are there only four crackers on the table? It seems like she's hosting some sort of dinner party or something along those lines since she bought good crackers and people are asking for dip. Also, who's the dip the Fat Broad is talking about? She's not married or anything, I don't think.


I thought of a better idea for today's strip. Enjoy...

Ah, what you can do with the cut and paste feature in Paint and a prediliction for gay jokes.


Nancy and Sluggo seem to be friends with benefits as it appears that Nancy is now seven or eight months pregnant.

I wonder if Aunt Fritzi knows...


Do people really call it "leaf debris"? Just call it what it is: fallen leaves.


What's with the giant chasm?


Yep, being romantic costs money. I should send bills to my ex-girlfriends to repay me for dinners, movies, jewlery, etc. I gave them during our relationships. Not all of them though, just select few.


O.......kay.

No more LSD for Chip.

It's Me Or the Dog

Before we get started on this entry, just a quick note about The Amazing Spider-Man:

As you may or may not know, fellow comic blogger Mike P has moved his "Amazing Spider-Blog" over to Meekrat Entertainment on WordPress. Go check it out and look at the other stuff he does including "Choose Your Own Blogventure".


Okay, time for a pet peeve of mine. Do people not notice the carton is empty? They grab the milk carton out of the fridge and begin pouring but they don't notice the carton is almost lighter than air?

And what about the person who used all the milk and put the empty carton back in the fridge? They, too, need to be punished.


Only $380,000? I looked up an obscure 16th Century Italian painter and discovered his paintings started at nearly a million dollars. So, no, Rover doesn't love you.


Does Archie spend all of his time at the Lodge mansion? Why doesn't Mr. Lodge just kick him out and if Veronica says "boo" he can just cancel her credit cards. Because Veronica does love money more than Archie.

But then again, who doesn't?


Does this mean something is finally going to happen?

No, probably not.


Mason Mastroianni apparently doesn't laugh very much...


Damn it all!! Kewpie is the family pet. He belongs to everyone. Brutus, Gladys, Wilberforce, everyone in the household. I don't want to have to tell you again.

Tic-Tac-Toe

Tic-tac-toe, also called noughts and crosses, hugs and kisses, and many other names, is a pencil-and-paper game for two players, O and X, who take turns marking the spaces in a 3×3 grid, usually X going first. The player who succeeds in placing three respective marks in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row wins the game.
