Or is it only wishful thinking? It was summer vacation, his father working, his mother gone to spend the day in Boston with Mrs Kaspbrak from across the street. Below the knees your legs look like a four-year-olds stick-drawing, but yau are healing up. He dreamed of Annie Wilkes in the court of some fabulous Arabian caliph, conjuring imps and genies from bottles and then flying around the court on a magic carpet.

Knowing that door must lead to the cellar and seeing that there were no locks on it had made the idea of torching the place seem momentarily more rational — he could maybe shelter there. "Rocket Man was my favorite.

Hed never needed to HAVE AN IDEA to start a book, but he understood instinctively that it could be done. It was as if he had been given control of the moon and the tides — or had just reached up and taken it."

It was for weight loss pills!

The ones I get are usually for pills. But they're really clever. The subject will always something eye-grabbing, and include the name of people I know

RE: "Martin climaxed as he slowly pushed"

That's my brother's name. When I click the link it's just advertising a Rolex watch :lol

Is it just me, or is spam incredibly fascinating to analyze? Because, you know that the goals of the people who concoct these messages is to make something that catters to the lowest common denominator possible in order to bait a few dumb fishes.

Like, recent spams include all kinds of hot keywords that people might be looking for.

Also I wonder why so many of these messages include passages from novels... would it just be to make it all look legit?
