How generous of them

Today's spam is from "Kauri Cowart," who's faking an email address from a Utah wilderness-protection group to point me to an IP in Gwinnett County, Georgia where I can allegedly purchase something called "Prolonged Activity" — "helping geezers score since 1999."

I'm not sure which is more annoying: being called a geezer, or the suggestion that I need help scoring. (The fact that the proffered URL didn't work at all didn't annoy me in the least.)

Could be an early April Fools' Day joke.
No less annoying that way, but less threatening, perhaps.

Hey, I'm not a geezer, and sometimes on moonlit bowling sessions at almost bar closing time, I get a little confused and forget to add two frames out for a strike.

Any supplement that will help me keep sharp is something I'll take!

"Bingo!"

Oh, wait -- that's little old ladies, not geezers.
