Silly spam subject line of the day

It’s Friday, it’s been a long week and while I have things to say I’m looking for some entertainment.
What are your favorite spam subject lines?
Here are some of mine:
“Having rock-like winky is easy”(OK, I admit, sometimes I’m 12 and “winky” makes me laugh)
“-Enlarge-your ~Penis up to 3 per month!” (Up to three what per month? And every month?)
“-Its all about the bra-” (From yourscalecars, advertising penis enlargement. Uh. Really?)
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (apparently spammers never got the memo that !! is bad in a subject line)
“Adventures of my giant mighty soldier” (uh. back to being 12)
“Aliens spotted” (I always thought aliens were striped)
“allergic to almonds or pecans?” (well, no, but thanks for trying)
“anxiety’s archduke Bourbaki’s” (uh. What?)
And, well, I’ve gotten through the a’s in my spamfolder and there are something like 200,000 messages still to go.
Do share some of your own in the comments!

Once everyone gets back in September, I will have a more substantive posts up more regularly. Happily, EmailKarma helped me with a somewhat fluffy post today. He tagged me into the Blog Olympics meme. The rules say I am supposed to pick 7 blogs I read and tag them forward. The rules also state that I have to link back to the blog that passed on the stick to me but I cannot add it to the list of my favorite 7 blogs.
I limited my picks to email related blogs. Now, in no particular order (vaguely the order they show up in my RSS feed, but nothing actually that specific):

Is social media a laughing matter?

I really love my job, but sometimes I miss academia, research and science. One of the ways I stay somewhat connected to that world is reading Scienceblogs (and the new Scientopia site). A few weeks ago my worlds collided when one of the librarians at Scienceblogs posted a Friday funny: 5 signs you’re talking to a social media douchebag.
