A not-so-technically-savvy friend of mine had her hotmail e-mail account suspended for some mysterious Microsoft Fog-Induced Security violation and asked for help getting it back. They had you answer several questions:
Birth date, month, day, year…..OK
Name of first pet question…..OK
Subject lines and addresses of the last five e-mails you received? HUH?
My freakin’ BANK doesn’t ask for that!
Well, as is suggested, she could call up friends and relatives and ask them the subject lines and addresses; call up each of the businesses that sent ads and ask whether or not their subject lines said “Huge Deals” or “Really Huge Deals….”; Or, considering the likelihood of anyone actually remembering their subject lines, why don’t we just make some up.
Hence the contest.
You are invited to make up a suitable (hopefully funny) subject line and e-mail address. Examples:
“Guys Make More Passes at Girls with Small A**es”; dparker@weightloss.com
“Millions for You Just Send Me a Little of Your D’Oh”; hsimpson@nigeria.org
Things like that.
Enter as often as you can stand it. Entries will be judged upon originality, timeliness, glycemic index, and BMI.
Also whether they are as hilarious as Microsoft Hotmail’s truly funny–if not frustrating–approach to e-mail security. The more people laughing at this, the better.
