This one girl who's email list I'm on has felt I'm special enough to receive her thoughtful and inspiring emails. You know, the powerful ones with magic Bill Gates powers. Foward this to your friends NOW and you won't wake up with AIDS.
Below is the original email from her today, and my reply to all underneath. No matter how many times I reply with stupid emails like mine, these people just don't seem to understand how retarded these notions are.
Yes, I could just ask politely to be removed from further emailings, but sometimes toying with them can be fun too.
ALL SO TRUE

My response:
As we grow up, we learn that even Batman, who was supposed to run over that bully with his Batmobile, will probably let you down. Batman will break your heart, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt, when Batman didn't save you. You'll fight with your best friend...and Batman won't be there to whoop their ass for you. You'll cry because you know the Batmobile is wicked fast, and you'll never get to ride in it. So laugh, take pictures of you dressed as Batman, and love life, like Batman would want you to. Send this to all your friends within the next 7 seconds, and maybe Batman will someday save you. 7...6...5....4...3...2...1...
Find a guy who calls you "woman" instead of hot. Who laughs to himself when you hang up on him, who will stay awake until you fall asleep so he can run out to meet his buddies at the bar and meet some women who aren't living a fantasy fairy tale. Wait for a guy that kisses your greasy, make-up covered forehead, who tells you how you look like hell in sweats, who holds your hands in front of his friends, then makes out with other women while you're in the bathroom.
If you've read this far, you like, HAVE to repost it, or you shall face dire consequences. Last week, Jenny from the block read this, and didn't foward this to 15 of her friends. As a result, she missed the after-holidays sale at Filenes, and didn't get 50% off the cashmere sweater she wanted. However, Billy from Arkansas DID foward this, and his favorite Nascar racer done won the auto race the next day.
HAVE GOOD MOSH PITTING!
HA!!
I get two categories of those things; the alarmist (and frequently Snopes-debunked) health warnings, and that ^^^^. I'm tempted to reply in kind next time.
Just remember when replying next time, "WWBD?"
(What Would Batman Do?)
thats too funny, I hate chain mail, I tend to ignore it, unless I am having really bad luck or it is wicked funny
Match made in heaven, Slappy. She wants you.
I have a good friend who also thinks this stuff is gold, except she usually sends hers along with a few pictures that take 5 minutes to download.
this is the kind of stuff I can't even get 2 or 3 lines past. My eyes glaze over.
I couldn't read it here either, or your response.
I really hate that kind of poop.
we must have the same friend GW....
Unfortunately, I have four different people .....hmmm...all women, come to think of it, who send at least two of these every day.
Why?
More worrying is the thought that someone took the time to type the whole thing out in the first place.
Is it a woman thing? Do men send these lists?

Did you ever get the one with the cartoon of the angels that fly around and unfurl banners that say things like "believe in miracles"? That one took so long to appear that I made lunch, ate it and took the dogs for walk before it was finished.
Lord E.- I cannot defend my sex on this issue, women are far worse than men when it comes to sending emotional spam.

She called the SH!T....POOP!!!
(anyone get that reference? hint: from a stupid comedy movie)
Lord, it's definitely a woman thing.
And I know why people send these. Because, they've got nothing to lose! LOLOLOOL ROTFLMA LLOLOLOLOL!!!
Yeah, it's a woman thing.
I only know one guy who sends jokes and stuff via email. Fortunately, his stuff is almost always funny.
Actually, I forwarded one of his funnier ones to another guy I know, and since then, he'll occassionally ask me if I have any more.
The women though are the ones who send all the flowery crap that's supposed to have all this meaning and stuff.
Wow, thanks for thinking I'm so stupid I never considered this stuff before.
ooooo, love is just SO important.
oh I realize that. I select to I send stuff to carefully too.
I'm saying in general I know a lot more women than men that send out mass emails on stuff that is just a time waster.
emails from hell
Of course, you could always hit Delete - but that would spoil the fun of replying in kind occasionally.
I send out mass emails, but not often.
But when I do...it's something funny and not one of the emails you get 100 times over.
This came today for me and I thought I'd share.
Idiots.

You must send them to 8 people including me.
In 8 minutes you will receive something you have long awaited for.
Have faith!

Do people just not get it when I don't send this sh*t back???
Bella, that's when you reply, "8 angels have been sent to you. 8 angels of...AIDS, that is!!!! Send this to 8 people within the next 3 seconds, or you'll get AI...OOPS! Too late!"
People get a kick out of stuff like that.
