WHAT A PILE UP! I'VE BEEN HIT!!!!!!!!
Oh joy of joys... I got mail! I hadn't been on in awhile and was eager to see if anyone wrote. I have 3-4 faithful readers/commenters/message writers, and another 3-4 that will read/comment/write when and if I have time to go on a comment spree and read everyone's blogs and comment. Lately, though, that has not been an option as I've been WAY so busy with work and am currently on the road.
When I DID manage to get back here, imagine my surprise when I logged in to find 36 Messages! 36!!! For little ole' me??? Imagine my surprise to open my inbox of messages to find I was repeatedly hit by the "Beautiful Truck" spam mail. Bam! You've been hit!

YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY THE…

"(@ )'(@ )""""*|(@ )(@ )*****(@
ONCE YOU'VE BEEN HIT, YOU HAVE TO HIT 8 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. IF YOU GET HIT AGAIN YOU'LL KNOW YOU'RE REALLY A BEAUTIFUL INDIVIDUAL
-----------------------------------------------
As you may or may not know, I don’t know many of the people on my friends list and not many know what I really look like (maybe 4?) so how in the WORLD would everyone else know if I’m beautiful or not. And I don’t buy that “You’re beautiful on the inside too”… cuz even less people know who I really am or what I’m really like on the inside. That being said, can you really send that to someone you don’t know what they look like and you don’t know who they are inside? I would think not, otherwise it would just be (gasp) SPAM!
Honestly, how would YOU feel if you went to the snail mail box and found a letter from someone you didn't know. Upon opening it you read that a friend of a friend of a friend of yours sent it to you, telling you how beautiful you were, and that they really wanted you to know that and make your day. Never mind they never met you or saw you, in fact, they hadn't met or even seen your string of friends that connected. But YOU were beautiful, and they wanted you to know that... ???
Oh, and did they fail to mention they sent to about 2 Million other people? Never mind that fact, they MEANT IT when they sent it to YOU so you should feel flattered and honored and get all gushy inside with that warm-fuzzy feeling because THEY took the time to send you the Beautiful Truck SPAM today. Are you feeling beautiful right about now? LOL
But wait! That’s not all! IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when I looked at WHO sent these wonderful ego inflating emails to me. There was only a few who were on my friends list. The rest? Well, they didn’t know me from Adam.
What does that tell me? Well, either they’re liars,
or they’re full of bull, or they were honestly flattered when THEY got it so they wanted to make everyone’s day by sharing it with them…
Possibly, they’re too busy to reply to the person that sent it to them properly (REPLY TO SENDER ONLY) and accidentally hit the OTHER button (REPLY TO ALL), or they’re too lazy to send it to only those they actually believe are worthy and beautiful people, OR… they absolutely HATE SPAM like I do and since their day was now ruined they would then go and click on the “REPLY TO ALL” button and shower everyone with yet another wave of fatal truck accidents causing a pile up in everyone’s message in box so they could sit back and be proud that they somehow had a hand in the demise of a fellow 360 family member. Which do YOU think it was? I’ll let you take your pick!

Wow, gosh, and golly gee. Where's the spaminator when you really need him? LOL Mary, when I see the words 'beautiful people', what comes to mind are the celebs that are 'exposed' on shows like Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight. They are the ones who cause these kind of wrecks.
Great article.

Mary-BrytEyz - you always bring a smile to my lips with your honest poems and stories and your warm commentary on the works of others (e.g., Minstrelman). I am especially appreciative of this one and both the obvious abd subtle meanings which you so cleverly unspool. The pics were great too!!! Thanks for sharing your world views and for visiting my lttle poem contibutions here at PnP.
This was wild and original. I thought you were really in an accident or something. I'm not sure how to rate it-- this sort of collage-- but you deserve at least 4 stars for originality.
Well, if that isn't the rudest thing! I hate that kind of spam stuff! And whenever I get one of those emails that says you have to forward it to 10 people or you'll have something bad happen...DELETE! I haven't died yet.
Well, anyway, thanks for the warning. I'll be on the lookout for that one!
