The voices made me do it

July 10, 2008 by arielle

I went all kinds of crazy at Starbucks this morning and got mocha syrup in my grande misto:

It cost me an extra .30¢ (and possibly a gazillion calories) but it was worth every penny. Really, it was all I needed to start my day off on the right foot. But then I got this email as an added bonus, courtesy of the worst spam filter of all time:

From: habing <7434180_2001@66-168-189-190.charterga.net>

Subject: Invitation to new shop opening
Stand tall stand strong, voices that care are crying from your pants.

I had no idea that voices that care were crying from my pants! I will stand tall and strong now. Thank you, Habing!

It’s going to be a good Thursday. I just know it.

Woah - you are so lucky! Obviously, nobody cares about me anymore because I haven’t heard a good cry from my pants in at least a year.

I paid the extra .30 for sugar free vanilla…I should just stick with the regular vanilla……

I could only wish that I was awesome enough to write that email.

It hasn’t been promoted very well, but if you use a Starbucks card that has been registered on their website, you can add syrups or any other add-on, like soy, for free.

Just thought you’d like to know - $.30 can add up

i was just going to tell you about the starbucks card but kelsey beat me to it. you also get free wifi there with the card so it’s just full of greatness.

“what do you do for a living?”
“i write awesome and witty spam that gets discussed on blogs.”

Arielle your witty words of wisdom (wow, alliteration) makes your blog addicting annd gives me a lovely ab workout (or so I’d like to think) c/o of all the laughing I do when I read it.

Thanks for the great ideas!

Jenn -
That cracked me up.

Eating -
I get those too. I like to forward them to Chris. He doesn’t think it’s funny.

Erica -
You know, the real mocha does taste much better.

Chris -
Let the voices guide you.

Kelsey -
You are my hero.

Sarah -
You too. Free wifi???

Anne -
Ha! I love global warming in your pants. That’s good.

Betsy -
I always wonder about that. It’s sad, really.

Julz -
I’m glad.

Amy -
Now that is the nicest thing I’ve ever heard. I think I love you.

My pants have been crying for months now, that is why this summer is all about the skirts and summer dresses!
