Oh, good. :3

And E's got an idea there. Humorous spam threads!

You know, Zeke, I can't just be one of your nemeses (the others being Zuke (aka, you) and procrastination, obviously) in name only. I actually have to, y'know, do stuff once in a while. Besides, subverting the spam apeals to my Pythonesque side.

(Any chance of getting my avatar fiixed, by the by?)

Lol, I always did enjoy the fact that Gmail gives you spam recipes in your spam folder. If only I could actually take some of those discount prescription drugs...

I only ever get the spam e-mails, sadly, and none of those terribly amusing scam ones from Nigeria.

(Hooray! It's all fixed! Although now I've got resize it as it's just too darn big.)

I've got a few. I tried to dupe one once, but it didn't work

You probably scared them off when you started quoting Dickens and claiming you were eight hundred years old.

EDIT: And something else I can't figure - how'd you manage to get an avatar of those dimensions uploaded?

I'm guessing it was there already, and the forum software change loosened the size restriction and allowed it to expand. I've set it to 100x100 for new avatars, but vBulletin doesn't go in and apply that retroactively. I'd appreciate it if you did adjust your avatar, Valium; 100x100 is really as big as avatars should be.
