In Which I Receive Email

For some reason, my inbox has exploded recently.  I've decided it would be nice to share some of the creativity that was intended for me with the rest of the world. Yes, I do realize that this is a very cheap way of getting another blog post.  My motto is "The thing about cheap points is that they still count.

i will trade you, One, unopened bottle, of, flax seed oil to put on a honda.

I still don't know how to respond to this.  I have a lot of questions, but I'm terrified that I'll get answers.

I'm from Toronto, and I haven't been to NB in 2 years. Last time I went to Angies on a tuesday. Next time, we're going to Angies on a tuesday and I'm buying you a beer or 4 for this awesome ad.

Cheers! 

For those of you not familiar with the Moncton area, Angies is one of our local adult entertainment businesses.  Apparently, if you go there, women take off their clothes at you.  I went there once.  It was not like the clubs in movies, and it was a Friday.  I do not think I care to imagine Tuesday.

I would hand ya 900 bucks just to be able to read the ad alone !!!

I tried to convince this person to send it to my paypal, but I never heard back from them.

Do u deliver?

You didn't read the ad, did you?

Kinda sounds like something Steve my old manager would write

Your old manager Steve sounds like a scholar and a gentleman.  You should be proud of that fact that you were once under his tutelage, that he would even take the time to acknowledge your presence is testament to his prowess as both a manager and a man.  Manager Steve, I salute you. You are no Greg from Australia.

have a nice day 

This was so large, it came in across three emails.  I applaud your imagination, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  I suggest work hard, try to pay attention in class and keep practising your writing.  Someday, you'll be able to write a whole sentence using proper punctuation, grammar and maybe even spelling.  You can do it!

Hey,
Just wanted to tell you that you made 6 firefighters cry in laughter from this ad.. Hope it's sold

It takes a lot of guts, determination and will power to be a firefighter.  I should know: I wanted to be one when I grew up.  Any group of firefighters strong enough to cry with each other would be an unstoppable force.  Let us all give thanks that they have decided to use their powers for good.

 I am in no way interested in buying this magnificent machine... But I do want to mention that its description was hilarious. In fact, I just came home from seeing a movie, and the 2 minutes it took me to read this was more entertaining and more deserving of my 11 dollars. I hope someone buys your snowblower.

I just did some math. Assuming the average movie is 90 minutes long, and my ad could be read 45 times at 2 minutes per read, then this person owes me $495. No word yet on what the movie they saw.

Hmm, at the rate of 8 emails per blog, I may run out of material sometime next year... 

In other news, I'm discussing some writing jobs with a couple of people that seem quite serious about it, and I have a really good feeling about this. Experience is experience, right? And hopefully, money is money... 

I also got some news at work yesterday - I'll be starting a new position in the new year. It's a job that I've sort of been training for/filling in for a little for a while, and while it doesn't mean a pay raise, it is fairly high profile in the company. Which is a good thing for when everyone discovers that I don't know how to write and am just pasting stuff I find on wikipedia.

Speaking of wikipedia, will someone rich please just give them a bunch of money so I can stop looking at pictures of Jimmy Wales? He's starting to creep me out in a deep and personal way.

Finally, in response to an anonymous post on the blog - I do so hate to disappoint my fans - I present to you what it looks like when I get up at 5:30 AM to work on this stuff. This is Mordecai.

Oh crap, does this mean I'm turning into another catblog?
