Awesome Spam

Sometimes you have to make sure that the email in question is really spam, so you open it up. I was graced with the following excerpt:

I am indeed grateful and gladsome that you will receive our letter in your computer machine.

Isn't that just.... adorable?! The line if inquiry was to join "my" church, so not the average reference question. But still. A lovely little reading diversion.

Edit: Also, the latest real, honest to goodness spam trend here at work is for German. I never had a great tutorial in slang, but I think I know what "ficken" means. I'm not sure what mastery a "Weltmeister" has without a bit of Babelfish references. I suspect they have a pill to help me achieve that meister status, though.

I'm glad you changed the icon, because when I hear the phrase you highlighted, I hear it in the accent John Cleese used in the "Hungarian-English dictionary" sketch.

Being a Weltmeister would make you master of the world! If there was a pill for that, I suppose he question would be if said pill actually put you in charge of the whole world, or if it just made you feel that way for a while.

And your assumption for "ficken" is most likely correct. It is indeed the German contraction of "funky chicken".

Funky Chicken. Excellent. Whew! ... wait...

Weltmeister means simply world champion (as in chess, etc.).
