Bizarre emails, part six
So I am sitting in my computerless office, drifting to sleep while reading The Protean Self for class in an hour, and I decide to wake myself up by checking my email on my phone.
I open an email titled "hey" and it's the following:

yo meight,
i just read your post about the richard taylor thing.
and tbh i think your a prick/geek/pussy/virgin/fat cunt etc etc.
i cant belive you actually laugh at things like that and in fact i hope you and your family all die in a fire prick
Now, I have no idea who Richard Taylor is, so I check my recent_comments.bml to see if I've made any mention or posted about him lately. Nope. Baffled, I google [bubbaprog "richard taylor"] and come up with one hit:
http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comment
So, apparently this guy was reading Fark headlines FROM A YEAR AGO and got pissed that I made the obvious Kurt Cobain reference. And decided to email me, and wish my family to "die in a fire prick." That sounds painful. A fire prick?
The lesson: learn proper grammar before sending hate email. And if you are reading year-old articles on Fark, you really need to get more of a life.
Back to reading for class.
