Reply from Anghela

– Continued from this funny spam mail from 9 Oct.

(Again, I’ll try to make this the mockery of a spam in bad German have some sense to you English readers…)

Thank you for replying, Anghela, even though it took you two days to “read” my minimalist mail (so please don’t complain with “I to want, that you had replied faster”) – to reply with a downright, but language-wise wrong novel.

As you write yourself: “When you will really understand my letters, means, me it is good to teach German.” Oooh yes, it would really be good to teach you German so that you don’t need to have your Russian-English (mails contain untranslated English words) babelfish-translated

Anyway, it’s nice that you reveal so much about yourself, such as “Me call Anghela, but my friends, me Angel to call (German “Angel” = “fishing rod”) – how many lonely guys, morons or baiters (i.e. people who themselves try to bait spammers/scammers) do you have on your fishhook already? :)

My human, wise has the strong spirit just, he is good and noble and generous.” “Your human?” Gee, are you actually an android? Or a “pet” looking for a new “master”? Well, everyone has his/her fetish, but that’s getting a bit too far for me… you seem to be a real little masochist, anyway, if you “like to swim the beach” – I rather swim in the water, that’s not so laborious and probably less painful than in sand or rubble.

I live in Russia in a larg?, but the save city of Moscow.” Sorry to hear that – I think it might be quite uncomfortable to live in a “larg?”. But as long as it saves the city some money… some social housing scheme that needs improvement? Is Moscow not that great after all? For your health problem – “who I will the very high temperature of my heart and with it give, who I always together” – is there no cardiologist available in Moscow? Then I can really understand that you’d like to come to the west…

Well, me too “seeing in the future with the hope and the smiling will”, bye, my “(boy)friend from Russia Anghela!!”

:loll:

Guess I should mention in every part of this series that this can only be from frauds who want to grift pretended travel costs.

Keep On Rocking!

Rockantenne logo Happy 8th birthday, Rockantenne, Bavaria’s Rocking Radio! By the way, not just playing the whole bandwidth of rock music, but quite a full program with news, info, fun (and advertising) and a few big raffles per year (where I’ve also won a few bucks a few years ago :mrgreen: ).

My favorite station for 4½ years that I’m now living in Bavaria…

Can be received throughout Bavaria via DAB Digital Radio (thanks to my proximity to the nearest transmitter without problems in house), FM in Augsburg, cable, Europe-wide via satellite and worldwide via Internet. Just have a listen!

Fiery Pope!

Did good old Karol really appear in a bonfire during a ceremony on his death’s second anniversary (already this April) – and if so, what does he want to tell us with this purgatorial or hellfire look?


(Image from the Daily Mail – see there for larger version)

Or is it a dancing John Travolta? Seemed to me, too…

Was it manipulated (which the photographer apparently denies strictly)? Or is it simply anything you want to interpret into it (see pareidolia)? I’m favoring the latter…

(via Bad Astronomy: “Popeidolia”)

Front door missionaries

This morning, about 10 o’clock, via Heute vormittag ca. 10 Uhr via intercom system, an almost purring-dreamy female voice(*):

“Good day, my name is […]. We found out how much the Holy Scripture means to us…”

My translation, and not necessarily verbatim – I shouldn’t have waited that long with this post… By the way, that was only the second time someone like that rang my doorbell.

“Thank God” that wasn’t at an “ungodly hour”…


(*) Unfortunately not “my (boy)friend Anghela;)

Reversed Baton

Or to phrase it differently: A questionnaire baton that gives the answers and you have to think about the questions, found in the Stöckchen-Blog (German, translated by me):

“Please question the following answers.”

Well, then, let’s start:

  • When was the first time you were driving a car yourself?
    1.) When I was one and a half years old. My parents were thrilled.
  • What things would you only do when naked?
    2.) Blog, drive bumper cars, hand out flyers in a pedestrian zone, grow beans on the balcony, tinker chestnut men, play polo, paint christmas pictures on chicken eggs, meet friends.
  • Where will you be awarded your next medal?
    3.) In Beijing.
  • You’re a lousy marksman, aren’t you?
    4.) Yes. When I last had a rifle in my hands, I had almost killed the man from the fairground.
  • How often do you stand up from your armchair/sofa?
    5.) About three or four times a year. Can’t do it more often, it’s too wearisome.
  • When did you last take a shower?
    6.) That’s been an eterníty ago. Ten or eleven years, I think.
  • What would you like to give to your local innkeeper?
    7.) The Nobel Prize in Economics.
  • Whose haircut do you like least?
    8.) Erm, I have to think a little longer here. Boris Becker maybe? Mahatma Gandhi? Ah, no, now I got it: Ursula von der Leyen.
  • When did you last have to read your electricity meter?
    9.) In October 2006.
  • To whom do you pass this baton on now?
    10.) Come on, I wouldn’t answer this question even to my best friend. Much less a complete stranger.

I repeat: The answers were given, the questions are mine. So if you want to take the baton, find your own questions.

I admit, only one of my questions truthfully matches the answer. :bigsmile:
