'My Corduroyed Life' - Mark A's Journal

9th August, 2005. 12:10 pm. Another Hoax

Bastards!

This one isn't a silly prank about free booze. I recently got the email below, entitled ‘SERIOUS EMAIL’, and it’s a hoax. The booze thing was irritating, but this is just pushing it a little too far: it’s not funny scaring people for no reason.

After the booze thing, a friend told me once that a simple google search on the email or some of its contents can check that it’s a hoax or not. In this case, I typed in Progesterex, and I immediately got a hoax warning. I’ll be doing that with all forwardy crap from now on.

Again, I ask why people would do something like this. I guess I can see how winding people up making them think they’re getting free booze is a bit of a giggle, and it ultimately harmless, but something like this is rather sick and upsetting for no reason. Some people are just unfathomable…

Have fun,

9th August, 2005. 3:59 pm. More Amusing Foreign Names

Hehe – here we go again…

I have blogged previously about people with amusing names, and recently I’ve met the following people:

Wa Mongo (Algeria)
Liao Kaka (China)
Yuming Wang (China)
Parham Nokashpour (Iran)

Bless ‘em! Unwittingly, they have brightened up my day with their unfortunate names. I kinda feel mean, but then, who knows? Mark Adams could be phonetic Chinese for ‘lick my balls’ or something! Actually, I think I hope that it does mean that…

Have fun,

M x
