I am an email maniac. Nothing bothers me more than having too many messages in my inbox. I delete them as soon as possible. But sometimes, certain emails are worth saving for my own amusement. For example, the unopened gem I received at my work address with the subject line: Danny Bonaduce Invites You To Myspace. That is gold. Bonaduce is the man. And if I had a Myspace account, I would absolutely be his friend and he would be in my top 10, or top 8, or top 20, whatever Myspace does.Another email that I'm saving for the rest of my life is from my old roommate, Jochen. He hails from Germany and moved back there last summer after a stint in Philadelphia. I responded to a previous email he sent and received this spectacular auto reponse:
Hallo, ich bin bis 15. Januar nicht im KSRM und werde meine Emails so bald als moeglich beantworten. Mit freundlichen Gruessen Jochen
Which, because I speak German fluently, I translated to:
Hello I'm out of office until the 15th of January and will not be reading my mail for a while. I will answer your message as soon as possible. If this is Anthony Malerba, I love you and miss you. Hugs and Kisses. Kind regards
Jochen
I miss you too, Jochen. I miss you too.
