Reprimanded for debunking an intenet/e-mail hoax

Shit, I'd be tempted to buy a burner phone with internet access and keep blasting from an anonymous email addy. I'm pretty good with the "who me?" look. Alternatively, you could engage someone else from far far away to do the same.

Couple of years ago I sent an email out to one of my undergraduate sections and put their addresses in the CC (rather than the BCC) slot. A couple of them then took the opportunity to attempt an insurrection (a march on the department chair's office, maybe?) via email. Unfortunately, for them, one of their more level-headed classmates shared the emails with a buddy of his in Canada. The buddy created an anonymous account and started peppering the instigators with vicious emails. I was of course blissfully unaware, until one day campus security showed up at my office to discuss the "developing situation" in my class. Turned out some of the recipients were starting to make some scary threats. That was an interesting rest of the semester, let me tell you!

 

Poodles work hard, too. How dare you begrudge them their scholarship opportunities.

(Said someone whose dog got thrown out of obedience school. True story.)

 

All right, but I absolutely refuse to cover the JV poodle shows.

 

What does Leviticus say about this?

 

I think Leviticus left a bestiality loophole. He was a poodle paddler.

 

Tonight in JV poodle show competition, Shitsville High visits Turdburger Tech.

 

I used to take the faxes from Westboro Baptist and tape them around the sports cubicles back in the day. Of course, those were so batshit crazy there were no complaints, only laughs.

 

Next up in Starman's inbox: Obama will pay your cell phone bill.

The cellphone scam has its roots in the rumors circulating about a so-called "Obama Phone," a program in which, the rumors and right-wing blogs claim, Obama is distributing new cellphones and prepaid minutes to welfare recipients. According to FactCheck, the federal government offers no such program, and, although low-income households have long been eligible for discounted phone service, it is funded by telecommunications companies, not taxes, "and the president has nothing to do with it."

But it's not just your phone bill Obama will supposedly take care of. A similar scam began spreading early this month, telling victims — via text and Twitter — that Obama would pay their utility bills, the Wall Street Journal reported.

 

UNDERGROUND RUSSIAN NUCLEAR TERRORISM!

 

they are gathering in the salt mines under Detroit. Only a matter of time before they burst out and take over. When they put up all those road signs in kilometers, that was to to help the Rooskies for when the invasion comes.

 

A guy at work had color magazine shots of oiled-up muscle hunks in Speedos pinned up all over his cubicle. Hey, nothing wrong with that, and God Bless America. Very splashy display, though. ... I had one black-and-white photo of a girl in a bikini posted in my cubicle, and I was told in serious tones that it had to come down right away. I had to laugh.
