QOTW #12: Better Late Than Never (Redux)
Yeah, it is late again. So sue me. Seriously, I am sorry to anyone who was anxiously awaiting QOTW #12. But it is finally here.
Do you get a lot of junk mail of the postal mail variety?
Yes! More than I even want to think about. Some really junky junk — the kind I've never requested anything to do with. Lots of Mac Mall, Dell, Hello Direct and PC Connection catalogs. Those stupid Internet Domain Registry of America fake billing mailers. Even some magazines I didn't request that I now receive but don't read.
On the other hand, I get some neat stuff too — CDW once sent me a “Tech Answer Wizard” (a computer problem lingo version of a Magic Eight Ball). Sun Microsystems once sent me some popcorn. AOL even sent something nifty — a AOL CD in a metal tin perfect for holding stuff.
On a side note: I haven't forgotten about the Christian spam registry… I'm hoping to put that online very soon.

I am the king of AOL CDs. I get at least 2 cds a week, sometimes more. And my credit must be great given all the CC apps I get in the mail. But the one that had both my wife and I laugh each time was the playboy index card offering the years’ subscription at half off. The strange thing about it was when it started, exactly on our 1 year anniversary. We then got one every week for about 6months. Which is strange because the only thing I read is VeloNews.

Believe it or not, us UKers get these as well - I got one from the DRoA about one of my domains recently.
And, hey. Popcorn? Why’d Sun send you popcorn?

In college we used to take the AOL CDs and glue them together, back to back so the shiny side was out, then burn a small hole near the endge, tie fishline and hang the suckers from the ceiling. Had sort cheep disco thing going on there.
