Hi, uh, I'm Ernie, and I've... I've got a problem. HI ERNIE! From Pearls Before Swine.

Welcome To Guys Who Routinely Mass-Email All Their Friends And Family With Anything They Find Even Remotely Interesting On The Internet Even Though Their Friends And Family Don't Care And Wish They'd Stop But Don't Have The Hear To To Tell Them That Anonymous.

  • HI BROWNPAU!
  • You can't cure people like that. You can only shoot them. Founder of Guys-Who-Are-Total-Pacifists-In-Real-Life-Nay-Even-Wimpy-But-Turn-Into-Rambo-Goebbels-On-The-Internet
  • I have to say that over ninety percent of the jokes/heartwrenching stories/phots I receive are from women.
  • If you don't comment in this thread, it'll make the baby Jesus cry.
  • Doesn't anyone see the irony in what Brownpau just did? Don't you? Anybody? OK, fine, danmit. I'll just go away and send something off about a sick little girl'z last wash.
  • I see the irony. But my comment didn't portray it very well, I think. See, those emails usually tell you that if you don't forward them Jesus will be mad at you, but if you post every little thing you find interesting in a group blog instead, you can't tell people to forward you can only... I'll get me coat.
  • I must admit, that if people I know insist on sending me that crap, I report them to their systems administrators. In the case of my mother, I didn't need to. She brought her office system down by sending a 90MB video to everyone in her address book. IT found out quickly who it was. She was banned from sending email until she retired. Haha!
  • Oh, and by the way, Craig needs your postcards.
  • I am SO forwarding that link on!
  • I'm putting it in my blog LiveJournal.
  • i have this gay friend, see...and lets just say i've seen more than enough of the POTUS and Vice-POTUS (or their heads tacked onto the bodies of porn stars) "doing it." me: "oh look...from behind. heh." please stop.
  • After spending valuable time debunking email chain myths, amiably trying to make offenders understand that those serve just to harvest addresses for spammers, and stilll keep getting them from the same people, no matter that I've alerted the sys admins to tell tem to stop, I've decided to fight dirty. Anyone knows of some high-volume, annoying mailing list to, eh, give a little surprise to those serial forwarders..?
  • I was all set to complain that you were posting a gif, and then I read it. I'm (not quite) ashamed to admit that I am one of those Guys Who Routinely Mass-Email All Their Friends And Family With Anything They Find Even Remotely Interesting On The Internet Even Though Their Friends And Family Don't Care And Wish They'd Stop But Don't Have The Hear To To Tell Them That. I actually have people I work with who subscribe to a little mailing list of twisted things I find while slacking. Maybe they just subscribe to avoid hurting my feelings.
  • Well, let me say there's a difference between friends who send you links to cool sites or news articles they find interesting and a "friend" who forwards some piece of crap about how there's a flesh-eating virus in bananas, or how God will strike you down dead if you don't forward this email to 100 people in the next five minutes. For every person that responds to this comment, Bill Gates will donate 5 cents to help Little Suzy get a new big toe.
  • GWRMEATFAFWATFERIOTIETTFAFDCAWTSBDHTHTTTTAnon, for short.
  • Pearls Before Swine is excellent.
  • I have not eaten a banana in seventeen months, and I have yet to contract any sort of flesh eating virus.
  • Your donations will help save bananas from the dreaded scourge of Bernockle teeth!
  • I have not eaten a banana in almost twenty-five years now. Because they are Satan's own fruit. There, I said it.
  • I have strangely contracted a banana-eating virus.
  • Lara, does it make your skin peel?
