The Cult of Lincoln

I usually make it a policy not to open spam emails, but after reading the preview text Gmail allowed me, I had to make an exception. The full email read:
Ent amiss. Not until the rifle magazines were empty did they cease, and then only to reload. Again and once again they repeated the onslaught, until it would seem no object the size of a human being upon the place where they aimed could by any possibility remain alive. Then, and not until then, did silence return, did the dummy upon Stetson's rifle again raise its head. But this time there was no response. They waited a minute, two minutes--tried the ruse again, and it was as before. Had they really hit the man out there, as they hoped, or was he, conscious of a trick, merely lying low? Who could tell? The uncertainty, the inaction, goaded all that was reckless in cowboy Buck's nature,
So... what are they trying to sell me, again?

Oh, spam. I don't think I will ever understand you.

Zoinks! It was just brought to my attention that LoudTwitter is now dead, and none of my posts have been showing up since the beginning of July. I want to try Twittinesis next, but I'm getting a "come back later" message when I try to register. In the meantime, you can read me tweeting Comic Con at my Twitter page.

For my records, here's the entire month of July in an ungodly-long, reverse-chronological, linkless Twitterspam.
  • Hmm. Wonder if Katee Sackhoff could fit in suitcase, too. I think I need a bigger suitcase. (Are these tweets going to get me arrested?) 23 minutes ago
  • Photo of Matt Keeslar, Natalie Morales, and Avon bear is so ridiculously adorable! *squeesplosion!* Ditto Brendan Hines and Mark Sheppard. 26 minutes ago
  • Frak. Photo of Javi with Avon Bear is majorly blurry. Wonder if I can track him down today to retake it... @lisawalkscom 30 minutes ago
  • Looking through photos. Would it be wrong to kidnap Matt Keeslar and take him home in my suitcase? Because if so, I don't wanna be right. 37 minutes ago
  • Dear Priscilla, You know that amazing 75-300mm lens you used for all your panels yesterday? Why didn't you think to use it for Middleman? 40 minutes ago
  • @Dietcoke219 I didn't get many shots of Kiefer, as I'm not a 24 fan, but I'll send you and the Browncoats what I have! 42 minutes ago
  • Good grief, my feet *still* hurt from Thursday. The next time I wear those boots, I'm getting some serious Dr. Scholl's. 43 minutes ago
  • Dichen Lachman (Sierra) and Fran Kranz (Topher) joined Joss and Eliza! I took way too many photos of DL. Girlcruuuuush. about 13 hours ago

  • Good lord, American Airlines is useless. Looks like I shouldn't have any problem with my actual flights, but I could do without the drama. 2:13 AM Jul 22nd
  • May choose Kaylee simply because it takes up less space in my suitcase. 7:59 PM Jul 21st
