Now you too can enjoy my Inbox without the annoying spam. Every week I get some amazing e-mail. Some amazing because of the sheer cluelessness of the sender, some because of the time and energy that went into crafting them and some are just simply amazing.

You make references to your sweetheart you're going to marry when the war ends and you go home.
You're in a kung-fu movie and blood comes out of your mouth.
You become a rouge agent.
You injure / kill / rape / assault a member of the hero's family or friends.
You're confused when the guy you're standing next to yells "oh, SHIT!" and starts running like hell.
You refuse or forget to remove your impossibly tall & slutty high-heel shoes when fleeing from the serial killer.
You disbelieve that anything weird is going on act all macho and mock those pussies for being scared.

you obviously forget to mention something with "Jack Bauer". Ok, it's a
TV show, not a movie, but I definitely expected something like "You
pissed off Jack Bauer" or "You are somehow related to Jack Bauer" (which

Here's a good idea for the intern. Give him a role of pennies and tell him to figure out exactly how many rolls you will need to get to fill the room.

Make the summer intern be your "hit" counter for the website. When your
not there, make him make a play a sound bite like "BING". Only when
you're not there.
Considering BBspot gets over a million page views a month, that's an awful lot of BINGs.
Weekly Limerick
The winner of the 2003 and 2006 Geek Limerick contest has volunteered to write a weekly limerick for BBspot. I haven't decided where to put it yet, so this week's I'll put in the Mailbag...

The realm Limbo, where dead babies dwell,
Is now gone, since the Pope is so swell.
Realms that may not exist
Being dropped from the list?
Maybe next week they'll get rid of hell.
