your honor, the suspect had the means and the opportunity, and maybe even a motive, but for the life of us we cannot figure out what the hell he was thinking.
some time ago, i started getting newsletters from gay.com. not spam! this is not a site that would spam. no, someone signed me up. didn't pay it much attention and didn't bother to unsubscribe, every once in awhile i'll click a link in the newsletter -- no problem.
well, today's subject line about national HIV testing day (which is tomorrow incidedntally) caught my attention, and i ended up poking around a bit. started wondering who signed me up, and why. i seem to be a member, but of course i lack a login; i checked the email headers and it's being sent to "kissmy @ (myoldurl).us". now that doesn't have a vicious ring to it, but it's not a friendly practical joke, either.
now i gather from the lengthy, apologetic unsubscribe info at the bottom of the newsletter, that this is a fairly common prank among the repressed homophobic jerk idiot portion of the populace. and this makes me sad. must make being a site admin a rather nightmarish job, no doubt involving having to respond to all manner of abusive responses from inadvertent subscribers.
sometimes we lizards just don't understand humans atall.
i also work best without pants. fyi
i think everyone does. pants are nothing but a conspiracy. it's the Man keeping us down, man.
I am still looking for the asshat who signed me up for the republican national newsletter. Now that is what you do to people you really dislike.
regarding National HIV testing Day, I remember a few years ago I took a comprehensive STD/HIV test, and it all went rather swimmingly. The doctor who administered it was an extremely attractive and funny lady. Embarrassingly I got really aroused talking to her as she was performing a visual inspection, but she was totally professional about it.
When she dipped the q-tip in Iodine (or whatever it was) and shoved it up inside my, um, wee wee, YYYEEEEOOOWWW that was one of the most startling and eye-opening (not to mention painful and stinging) experiences I have ever had. I'm surprised I didn't go through the roof, and every time I see a Q-tip now I still get scared.
i don't get this business of signing people up for something like that either, liz... but, maybe it's just because i don't think that way. and, boy, can i empathize with the sysadm for the site... there must be plenty of hate-mail generated by the idiots who foist the newsletter on others falsely. it's just disgusting, it is.
Obviously whoever signed you up doesn't know who you are.. I mean, if I wanted to piss you off, or give ya a good hating I would sign you up for some right wing, fundamentalist newsletter, now that would cause a tizzy.
It's ok. I'm human (supposedly) and I don't understand most humans either. For example, I'm still awaiting an explanation on Britney Spears.
