Whenever I see spam that starts out with a subject or greeting like "Hey, friend," I think of Fluffmodeus from the webcomic Something Positive:

TV Tropes describes the grotesque cute character as being "like an ’80s cartoon character who Care-Bear-Stared a little too long into the abyss…" Rippy declared him to be "the most annoying thing that’s ever existed." Hmm, maybe he’s a spammer when he’s not haunting Kharisma? 😀

Oh, and the archives…definitely not work-safe.

There are some things that no self-respecting Something Positive reader wants to see, and this recipe is among them:

Choo Choo Sandwich Recipe

Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook (classic reissue)Poor Choo-Choo Bear! Disguising yourself as a pitcher is one thing, but being turned into a sandwich? Alas, such a sad, sad fate for everyone’s favorite amorphous kitty.

(At least the sandwich probably won’t be as pink as Slashdot’s OMG Ponies! theme.)

On our trip to Carmel last month we passed by Casa de Fruta, once a simple roadside fruit stand, now a huge complex of stores and restaurants, all with names like Casa de Coffee, Casa de Wine, even Casa de Motel. They even have a mini-railroad for kids, called, naturally, Casa de Choo-Choo.

Of course, we immediately thought of Choo-Choo Bear, the amorphous kitty from Something Positive
