what not to do at a drive in, and spammers from the future!

Last night, we went to the drive-in in East Atlanta, a summer tradition of James and mine, since we moved into our house. This will be the 3rd year we get to go an enjoy the movies on the big screen, all while having the comfort of our car and our booze(!!); without having to deal with movie people in the same way as at a regular theater. It is way more fun, trust me. While the first movie left something to be desired (Slither) (although it was kinda funny), we were glad we chose it, because the second movie (Inside Man), kicked ass. After the second movie ended, we naturally started packing things up, finished the last beers, and were ready to be let back in the car by the man that I love. Instead, he locked the keys in the car, and we had to walk back up the entrance of the theater, sit for 20 minutes in the dark, all while the loving boyfriend came to pick Lori and I up, and take us back to get my car and a spare set of keys for James. Note to self for future summer drive in nights; bring a spare key to James’ car… you never know when you might need it. Oh yeah, Alan, you are a rock star… thanks 10000000 times for coming to pick us up!

This is kind of trivial, but I thought it was at least a little interesting, hey, I AM a nerd after all. Basically, I get a ton of spam email every day. I have talked about it before, and several people have offered solutions, but I am lazy, and have honestly just hoped it would go away on its own. But it hasn’t. And now, interestingly enough, though, I have spammers from the future sending me information on how to “please my woman in the bedroom”, and invitations on “not being inadequate anymore”. Now, I always please my MAN in the bedroom, and I would like to think that I am more than adequate, so naturally, I don’t need the form of “assistance” they are offering. But when I looked at the date and realized they were from the future, I did become more interested. Perhaps this is some sort of Back to the Future stuff? Or maybe, even more obscure, yet way more exciting, it is like that show Time Trax? You know, how the guy got his information by looking the paper, because the people in the future communicated in the papers of the past? Oh, no one remembers that show… oh. But it was sweet!! Yeah, maybe they are just more advanced now, and can use email. Either way… spammers from the future, ya’ll! Have a killer Saturday!

    Well in Outlook I know when I set my date off on my computer Outlook time stamps my emails as whatever date I have on my computer. I often send out emails for the year 2003. Which for people who don’t keep clean email boxes if can be an issue because now my email that I sent them is buried down in their email since email automatically sorts by date. You might now why I have to occasionally set the time on my computer back that far, if not. Well I’m not going to say. haha.

    Anyways spammers would actually be smart to set a future year on their emails that way until you delete the email it should in theory always stay at the top of your box.

    I miss going to a drive-in. Seems that here in Ohio, the only ones still open are Christian drive-ins.

    And as far as spam, you’d think that if they figured out how to email from the future, that they would mastered the “target audience” concept too.

    Maybe the spammer IS from the future and perhaps, they know that, way, way down the road, you’ll need certain “assistance”…

    Just sayin’.

    I hate when I get spam from “hot girls” who tell me they like my profile (from where?) and to check out theirs. I’m a big ole’ HOMO! I don’t want to check out a girl’s profile (even if she is hot).
