I am all ears

Head Rambles Posted on by

Normally I clear out my spam filters a couple of times a day.

Over Christmas though, I didn’t [and Sandy obviously doesn’t know about these things].

So when I went to check the filters, there were 257 spam messages waiting for me.

Normally, I trawl through them, in case there is a genuine comment that got accidentally trapped, but this time I just deleted them.

But before I did, I noticed one.  It intrigued me.  It’s from a bloke who is so passionate about his on-line loans, that he even changed his name by deed pole.  Unfortunately, he couldn’t spell.

Actually, I think he is from Jamaica.

Hi guys, I want expplain you about online loan.
I wrok there about 122 ears, awnd i`m sure that te best loan is jam session

Bye

Now what intrigued me about this was what exactly he did.  I don’t know what is involved in wrokkig.  Is there any wrokker out there who can tell me what is involved?

And he wrok there for 122 ears?  If he meant years, then surely he’d be due for retirement by now? Or else he is dead, but because they don’t want to lose a valuable wrokker, they haven’t told him yet?

It can’t be years.

So he is wrokking for 122 ears?  Are they good listeners? 

ears

I have it!  I know what ‘to wrok’ means.

WROK: (n) origin unknown.  To borrow jazz musicians who will play an impromptu session for an audience that is all ears.

I’m glad I sorted that one.

  1. Just cleared all mine out as well although I only had 27.

    It amazes me to what end do they attempt to post such rubbish. Evidently it must work sometimes or else they just wouldn’t bother.

  2. Robert – For some reason they love my site. So far I have apparently had over 22,000 spams, and that doesn’t include the ones that Bad Behaviour blocked before they even got as far as Askimet. BB blocked 1,150 in the last week alone.

  3. Grandad – I can’t ‘ear anyone, can you? Where is everyone today?

    Maybe they’re wrokking at a jazz session? 🙂

  5. Grandad,

    I share Robert’s bafflement at the point of such Spam. I can’t believe anyone would be so stupid as to respond – perhaps a little scambaiting might be in order sometime!

    I think you commented before about the odd phrases they include in links to valium and viagra. Akismet today has captured such terms as: leapfrog hadron…, whinnying younglings…, litters undiscerned… and backward conventicles…!!

  6. Steph – I think everyone is in rehab after the season that’s in it. If they are at a jazz session, I hope it’s indoors.

    Donna – Welcome!! Thanks for skipping by, and thanks for the bit of flattery [you have cheered me on a dull day!]. Next time, I’ll put on the kettle?

    Ian – My spam has descended into the pits of the swamp. Quite frankly, I would be reluctant to reprint most of their content. It takes a lot to make me blush, but……..

  7. I am still trying to get one of these deceased Nigerian generals daughters to send me an advance on the $20000000 they want to give me.

  8. TT – I gave up on them. I’m just waiting for my lottery winnings from Canada, Australia, Germany, Belgium and all the rest.
