Well, it's Saturday. My wife and I celebrate our six-year anniversary on Saturday, in case you didn't know. We are going out to Front Royal to see a Front Royal Cardinals game and a Little League Challengers game. Apparently the Front Royal Little League Challengers competition has been invited to watch the Little League World Series and is raising money to do this. I'm not sure how Front Royal got selected but they will be having a special game on July 22 as part of the ceremonies to open Bing Crosby Stadium.

One of these days I am going to copy and paste all my posts on fark.com onto here so you can get an inkling of what I think, politically and otherwise. It makes little sense to type a post there and then post something similar here.

But I've decided to keep a spam diary. I got 42 spams between yesterday afternoon when I left to see Assassins at the Signature Theater last night.

Here's how it's running so far.

For 7/14:
Free products (i.e. "Home Depot vouchers", etc.)
11
Enlarge my penis/cum more/Viagra (I'll also include the enlarge my breasts spam here)
7
Low cost products (such as genuine replica Rolex watches)
6
Mortgage/loans
4
Self-improvement (lose weight, get diplomas from quality non-accredited schools, etc.)
4
Porn
2
Meet women
2
Stock tips
2
PayPal or eBay scams
1
419 or other money-based scams (lotteries, etc.)
1
Casino/gambling
1
Political spam

Of course, no spam is complete without remembering how much foreign language spam you get and how much gender-inappropriate spam you get.

For the one or two readers of this blog, let me know if you have any ideas. I won't start trying to hotlink my friends until I've been at this regularly for a couple weeks or so.
