Joshi Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 yes, another one. this time it was through email though as someone sent me a bloody chain email. normally i get ones like questionnaire to fill out, then you reply to whoever sent it you with your answers along with sending it to other people. i normally only send it back to the guy who sent it me cause not many people i know likes them but i don't mind the questionnaire type, they're almost okay. but this one, well, see for yourself. i must tell you that this was actaully and stupidly sent as an .email attachment, meaning i can only open it in notepad or word like this -0700 Received: (qmail 16561 invoked by uid 1001); 8 Aug 2002 16:47:05 -0000 Message-ID: <20020808164705.16560.qmail@dbzmail.com> Content-Type: tex... which is a loada crap. but this is what i got, roughly translated for you. Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was your last chance. Now pay very close attention to this important message! (Sorry but once read, must be sent.) Yes, this is one of those kind a chain letters that ! everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863 and if you break this chain,you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing these stories. First Take Barbra Wallace. She was a pretty lucky girl, up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid since kindergarden. when she got this e-mail she didn't pay any attention to it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her dad got fired and her mom died in a car crash. If she had sent this letter none of that would have happened and her mom would be alive. Second Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51 people in the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd grade. The next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for him ever since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out, and of course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew up and married each other to live happily forever. Third Now if you couldn't relate to the others, this'll get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that popular but not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart kid and he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on.! He simply pulled a few friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day, about that same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery! then his dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him Nintendo64 and playstation! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best friend gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin' wild! the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been going out ever since. Now, you heard the stories. I know which person I'd rather be, but that's up to you. I wouldn't wanna end up like! Barbra but thats only me. We all want what we cant have but now's ur chance to go out with that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send this to- 1person- you will lose all luck in ur love life.....forever!!!!! 10 people- your crush will say they like you as a friend......ONLY!!!!! 15 people- your crush will say they like you 20 people- your crush will ask you out! 25 people- your crush will french kiss you!! 30 people or more- all of the above!!!! Don't blow it, it's ur chance to shine! Have everything u wanted, and more! Now, if ur complaining cuz u dont have any friends, well theres an answer 4 everything. It's simple, just go in a chat room, pick some names and send away! but here's the catch.....you only have one hour to send it after being read. Please pass this to everyone u know and keep it going! I didn't write this, so don't look at me. I was just doing everybody a favor and passing it on. Now you do the same. okay, someone's seriously got problem getting dates, dontcha think? this was roughly my reply Hey **** for brains, first of all, when you send an email, make sure it's not an attachment, i could only open it in nOtepad and it came out a loada ****! second, i could make out most of the message although it came out something like "A kid named Jordan Johnson was <BR>just getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that <BR>popular but not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail <BR>from his friend. ..." and didn't get it. was it meant to be funny or something, oh sure, a chain E-MAIL from the nineteenth sentury, what is this guy, 6YO!? it was a huge waste of time, at least those questionnaires are a LITTLE fun, but this was a loada crap, keep them away from my inbox in future, thankyou in advance (i know where you live... well, i can find out from Mark). c ya later Kev. Neil. it's bloody annoying, dontcha think? now open for opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelenW Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Best thing to do is press delete!! I don't waste my time reading them. The annoying thing for me is that my email address seems to be on one of those bulk mailing lists you can buy. I get loads of emails every day for breast enlargements, herbal viagra and penis enlargers etc, not really things i need!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helene If you use Outlook Express then click on Tools – Rules for messages – E-mail – New ... Now make rules for certain words in the message and have them either blocked or place them in a trash folder. _____________________ and Grannen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmeat_X Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Big error in that mail. Seek the contradiction: -J. Johnson was smart -J. Johnson wanted to go to Limp Bizkit These mails are stupid, I can't believe anyone even thinks about forwarding them. Specially those kind of 'If you fw this to 10 ppl a free game will start on your PC' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 Originally posted by Deadmeat_X Big error in that mail. Seek the contradiction: -J. Johnson was smart -J. Johnson wanted to go to Limp Bizkit that was actually quite funny, your saying, people who listen to Limp Bizkit aren't smart. i agree, i'm not saying they're stupid, just not smart or "intelectual" These mails are stupid, I can't believe anyone even thinks about forwarding them. Specially those kind of 'If you fw this to 10 ppl a free game will start on your PC' haven't got one like that ye, it's normally stuff like 'send this to ten people to get good luck/ not brake the chain' or 'you have ** time to send this to ten people before your computer gets a virus (empty threat, but i delete it just the same)' that kind on thing. and grannen's idea was a good one, but i don't use outlook i use MSN, so all i do is put in any emails i may get from friends and such into my address book and put my junkmail filter onto exclusive, so i only recieve emails from them (and alerts from MSN of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
