Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah
Hello All, This email is automatically going to everyone in my address book, as well as anyone I have ever received an email from (my revenge on spammers). We wanted to do something very "internetish" to spread the word on my company, zReturn. So we came up with a handful of video commercials for use on YouTube and the likes. I personally have a role in each of these videos, but to make up for those ten seconds we've included some humor, a social message, good music, and even a helping hand from a celebrity! So please, look them over, and if we make you chuckle and smile, all we ask is that you spread them to your friends as well. After all, that's what this is all about, a young company going viral thanks to the Internet. Now for those of you that are my friends, I have a very direct favor to ask of you: Re-post these videos no matter what! Whether they make you laugh or groan, as a favor to Sergio, email the link, put it up on your MySpace page, Facebook, Milk & Cookies, etc. I'll always remember it. Enough begging, the video link is below my name...enjoy. Your friend, Sergio
So I work in one of those large shared office environments. Very nice. The cost is right, they take care of all the minor things (network, printer, etc.) and there's lots of people here. Which I like, because I like to meet new people all the time.
So that being said, I have become friendly with a few people here, and today at least three of them stopped by my cubicle to chat.
I only just noticed that the Sudoko page I ripped and folded and threw in the corner of my desk was not folded to show the puzzle. Instead it looked as if I was saving a particular ad.
Great, now how do I go and tell these three people that I'm really not trying to kill Janet and Chrissy and I was just flipping and reading the the TV Guide listings outloud when that nosey Mr. Roper happened to be listening to me through his airvent?
In order:
The picture of what that corner of my desk looked like with the paper as it was.
A closeup of the what anyone coming to my desk saw if they took three seconds and looked.
Sigh
If for nothing else, I think I'm going to renew my Rhapsody subscription just for the great/hilarious reviews they have:
I met and hit on the woman in this photo (blue dress, far right) in Paris some ten years ago.
I say semi-cool since it got me nowhere. But still kind of cool!
p.s. She just corrected me, it was only, but not quite 8 years ago. I guess to a woman adding 2 years to anything is just an insult. Then again to a man, rejection will always still feel as fresh as yesterday and lasts an eternity...sigh
Way too lazy to redit my email, so just cutting and pasting it here
Hello All,
It's been quite a while since I've spammed everyone and I guess I finally have as good an excuse as I will come across for a while. By the way, if you're not really too sure who I am, please read the *** paragraph below.
My new company, zReturn, has made it to PC Magazine. I'm even quoted, and I just realized how much I love my name in print! Petty, yes I know. But the bottom line is that everyone is always asking me what I'm up to, and I always tell them; "I'll tell you later". So what better way to catch everyone up with an article in what is probably the oldest and most respected personal computer magazine around.
Anyway, am pretty sure that as I send this email out, the printed version hasn't hit the stands yet, but that should happen soon, very soon! So before I forget, here is the article online: www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2014371,00.asp
*** Over the years my address book has grown to beyond bloated. There were addresses in there from old business contacts, spamers, you name it. I really have done my best to clean out my address book but it's far from perfect. So if you're one of those people who perhaps we've only swapped one or two business emails, or don't even know who I am, please accept my apologies. Just send me a quick email and I promise to remove you from my address book. After sobbing hysterically for 15 minutes that is, but I will.
Hope this email finds everyone well.
Sincerely,

It's a Fact: Over 80 percent of people who find an item attempt to find the owner. How will they find you?

Ok, granted, am sure it's not the original review, but still....So anyway, someone gave me a trial subscription to Rhapsody and I was going through it, checking out how they reviewed albums from my time, and I came across this review for Journey's Escape.
The way the words just flow, the eloquence, the class! Am sure that if Slim Pickens were around he would say..."You use your tongue prettier than a 20-dollar whore." Quick, name the movie, two points!
Just a quick radio interview I did a while back. I really do believe that they lowered the pitch on my voice. My voice is far more high and whiny than it is on this clip. dishin.mp3 (270 KB)
Hello All,
For all those who thought I dropped off the face of the Earth the past year I just wanted to let them know that I'm back! Some thought I was ignoring them, others that I had just become unsociable. Not the case at all.
I have been heavily at work on my new company, zReturn. It is a Quick, Simple, Affordable, yet Powerful way to tag all those expensive valuables you walk around with daily. You can read all about it here: www.zReturn.com
Also as a little promotion: The first 25 people to email me their name and address I will send them one free zReturn Kit (includes 6 labels and 1 key tag).
So please forgive me, and I hope to be more in touch from now on.
Hope this finds everyone well.

Hey all,
Ok, so I get this email from somebody I know. She just became a teacher, and since she has had to put up with all of my mass/junk emails, I figured I owe her one. So I am posting her legitimate mass email up here. Especially since it's for a good cause and all. All I did was remove her phone number and address, and I made sure her email address is in the email. So if anyone on Multiply can help, or even just know where to send this email, feel free.
Thanks,
Sergio
---Original Email
To friends, teachers, family, and anyone else who made their way onto this list:
I have to apologize in advance for the mass email, but as many of you know I will be teaching 1st grade at P.S.179 in the South Bronx for the next two years through Teach For America. I am very excited for this opportunity, but I am asking for help -- New York City only allots teachers $200 each year for ALL the school supplies in their classrooms, which covers very little of what I think a classroom should have. If you or anyone you know has excess school supplies, games, or books (appropriate for ages 4-8), I would truly appreciate it if you could donate these to my classroom. Any extra items that I receive I will give to other teachers in my school or to friends in TFA who are in similar circumstances.
Please send anything to my (new) home address as my principal cannot guarentee that we will receive packages until September 6th. If you have any questions feel free to email me ( sara.spiro@gmail.com) or call me at 917-xxx-xxxx.

Thank you again for all of your support and generosity so far! If anyone has any interest in visiting my classroom during the year to see all of their donations being put to use, please let me know, I would love to have visitors.
Sincerely,
Sara
 Found this while going through IMDB, and it was good enough to make Cruel Site of the Day.

It's a bit long, but here is just a small sampling:
Not only are there no - no - laughs in this movie, this film will steal laughs from the rest of your life. It represents a debt that can't be repaid - not now, not here, not in Superman's Bizarro World... 
I have no idea of when, but it seems that this was a REAL radio commercial for "CORN NUTS"
In case you can't play the MP3, here's an excerpt from the lyrics:
Go to your room and lock the door,
'Cause when you try it once you'll wanna try it some more!
Size doesn't matter and that's a fact,
It might be small, but it's a big impact!
Bust a nut! Bust a nut!
Grab a bag of Corn Nuts™ and bust a nut!
They're lightly toasted and hard as well,
Enjoy yourself, we won't tell...
Everybody does it, they like it a lot,
You can do it at school , just don't get caught!
It takes a few minutes, if you don't delay;
Take your time and make it last all day!
"Corn Nuts™: An intensely crunchy corn snack.
Comes in seven nut-busting flavors.
Bust a nut at a convenience store near you."

Please take my quick Music Survey. It's serious for me, but just for FUN!
It's very quick! All it asks is, "What songs do you like, that you want no one to know that you like?"
The survey can be found here: www.fourgauchos.com/cgi-bin/survey_3.pl
Thanks.
And please spread it, when you see what it's asking, you'll understand.
Wouldn't exactly call this a listing per se, well sort of. Been reading tons in the NY Times lately about how all the big companies are making a go for "legal downloading" of movies, TV shows, etc. etc.
And here I am with WarpTV.com, which when you think about it, is a pretty good name.
- 6 letters,
- has TV in the name
- name conveys the right mood for Internet TV/Movies, etc
- in the .com domain, which still beats out .TV
I realize that the days of 6 figure domain sales are over, so am being totally realistic, but I still think I could get a semi-decent amount for this name.
Anyway, I tried reaching of few of the big wigs, but my two letters were returned back from legal departments saying how they don't read "literary submissions." Pathetic.
So here's what I thought...out there somewhere, I know somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody.
So if anyone out there can introduce me to the person/organization who buys this name from me, would gladly work out a finder's fee of some sort.
Hey, worth a shot!

What's wrong with people? Why is this film not getting its fair share of viewers? This is a great movie!
What really pissed me off was some reviews talking poorly about the boxing match sequences. They were great, I swear they had me so on the edge of my seat that I kept crushing my soda cup! Good thing it was empty.
Go see this movie, it's an excellent movie!
 I know I'll catch flack for this, but I am so sick of stuff like this:
and yes, it's poorly written, poorly designed, etc. etc. but then agaiun, i have no creative talent....
To any Multiplier from NYC that wants to crash...earlier I posted on here my birthday get together how's this for open...here is the automatic email reminder that went out yesterday: Just one of those cold, pumped out by computer, automated, yet still friendly little reminder that Sergio's 40th birthday is coming up. Hopefully you'll be able to attend, if not...no need to worry. Although, if you're in the latter group, and by some miracle I end up having another 40th birthday, I'll make sure you come to that one. So far the list is looking good. You're pretty much guaranteed to meet a decent mix of some very excellent people. Well, with the exception of one or two bad apples, but it can't be helped, I have to be there...it is my birthday after all. Anyway, it's this Saturday, Dec. 18th, at 9 pm. You can get all the details at www.WarpTV.com/birthday. And of course, there are also plenty of new pictures from my first 39 years posted. Including the one photo that took me over a decade to find! Sincerely hoping to see you there, Sergio "less than 1 week away from a mid-life crisis" Caplan p.s. For those that asked, my actual birthday is Dec. 22. p.p.s. Sergio's cell phone, just in case, 917-xxx-xxxx p.p.p.s. No gifts allowed, just bring yourselves, and have a good time
 a very long time ago i did a spoof of the apple switch ads....they are posted here on my website, please feel free to view them. actually they traveled the internet quite well. not as much as i would have liked, but they travelled quite far... i made one for each sex... www.warptv.com
