Mrs. Allison,
This is to inform you that on Friday, Sept 1st, 2006, all Literati games between da baby bear and da pinky fuzzball shall be played in Social Lounge 33. We appreciate your cooperation on this matter and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank You,
The Literati Staff

Is this spam of some new and bewildering sort? Or did it just go to the wrong email address? Either way, I appreciate the touch of surreality it lends to my morning.

[And yes, I am aware that 'surreality' is not a real word. Shakespeare made them up too, you know.]

I really want it to be a real message that just got lost. Was it meant for your gmail doppelganger, perhaps?
