That's really cute! My sister is the QUEEN of forwards. I get several a day from her! Myself....I NEVER send them. They annoy me, and I don't put that on others! ha!

Great post, my friend!

Great Find Lisa,

Which reminds me. I need to forward you 17 PMs.

You're a mean one, Mr Aashee! (Sing that to the Mr. Grinch song.)

We may have the same sister, I get more from my sis than anyone else, and I rarely forward anything unless its too funny to pass up!

Thanks Pratt, this was cute!

Those words make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

[pratt55]

oooh that's almost as scary as this picture

[aashee]

^LOL!

I was posing for that picture but the sentiment was real. I had been shunned to the exit area. That picture is only scarier because I didn't have fake green contact lenses like Bill Bixby.

Here's a parody I received once

Forwarded Message:
Subj: Stupid Chain Letters
Date: 99-10-30 22:07:51 PDT
From: [email protected]

Hello, my name is Joe King. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by oral electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion doggone chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with an arm on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freak show.

Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his" email to, $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get to date by every Playboy model in the magazine! What a bunch of baloney.

So basically, this message is a big TAKE A HIKE to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards.
Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by the Queen and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity.

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't doggone care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity.

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:

LETTERS:

Chain Letter Type 1

(Scroll down)











Make a wish!!!























No, really, go on and make one!!!























Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!! Wish something else!!!























Not that, you pervert!!























Is your finger getting tired yet?























STOP!!!!

Wasn't that fun?

Hope you made a great wish

Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure.

It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes:

*Send this to 1 person: One person will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

*Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life.

*Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will firebomb your house.

Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

---Chain Letter Type 2

-------
Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats.

This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund.

Oh, and remember, we have absolutley no way of counting the emails sent and
this is all a complete load of baloney. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds.

Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chain Letter Type 3
--------

Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad jokers with nothing better to do. So this is how it works:

Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

*Bizarre Horror Story #1

Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently recieved this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall.

Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You‼

*Bizarre Horror Story #2

Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his girlfriend. They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You Too!!!

Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your friends, and everything will be okay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Chain Letter Type 4
--------
As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.

Friends

A friend is someone who is always at your side,

A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of manure, and your breath smells like you've been eating catfood,

A friend is someone who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of butts,

A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself,

A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life,

A friend is someone who pretends he likes you when he really thinks you should be raped by mad chimpanzees, then thrown to vicious dogs,

A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English...(no, sorry that's the cleaning lady),

A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true.



Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never date ever again.

The point being?

If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on.

Don't make people mad by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only saviour is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda. Right?

Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll have to hear me sing

[pratt55]

I love it MikeChat, the funny thing is the person that sent me the original 'funny' is guilty on all counts of sending me those silly stupid I am going to die cuz I did not forward your crap emails.

Now I am off to copy your text and send it to him, but only after six people have forwarded it to me so that he has to keep double clicking is life away to find out how friggin silly it all is.

[Olympicnut]

Now when it comes to emails about sore elbow remedies, or eczema creams, you should always forward those. And start threads about them
