Ok, last post of the day. I've got to do some design work and then I'm watching Survivor All Stars. Yeah, I'm totally looking forward to it… I've been a drone in front of that show since day one. Anyway, I got an odd message submitted to me at the encyclopedia address:
Subject: doug malloyHi! HELP! HELP! HELP! I'm still waiting for your bio, etc., as well as a list of what you plan to do in the show. FLASH! FLASH! Zirbel just got a 9 month booking in Branson so we had to replace him with illusionist Jason Alexander. Unfortunately, I don't have his rundown here with me at the library but will call you with it ASAP.
That's odd. I thought maybe they were trying to contact The Lizardman since he writes for the encyclopedia so I wrote back asking them who they were trying to reach and about what. Their reply was rather odd:
Subject: bad direction for my Email - Sorry!I was trying to contact DOug Malloy. I'm sorry the message went to the wrong address! Thanks!
Dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Doug Malloy passed away quite some time ago, and unless someone has stolen his name, he wasn't a sideshow performer. Along similar lines, I just got this mail the evening (last name changed):
Subject: Nostrial PiercingTed, Need a new nostrial piercing... maybe tomorrrow or this week.
Weather permitting . Chris Hadberg Take Care! Chris
It's really weird. I get these sorts of messages every couple of days. I suspect that all magazines must though, especially online since I think people operate under some strange notions about how email works… some sort of always-finds-its-destination magic routing.
