World Wide Lootery agent
It was the Lootery agents that arranged all the shit that went down in L.A. back in 1992. They bought out the jury Grisham-style, then oversaw the looting that went on in the ensuing riots. Their counterparts, the Assaultery agents, the Arsonery agents, and the Murdery agents, oversaw other areas.

BBoS Update - May 23, 2007

May 23, 2007 · Filed Under News ·  

I’m a big fan of Adobe products, and I’m using InDesign CS3 to write The Big Book of Spam. It’s fantastic, and I highly recommend it.

I’m up to 86 pages! More specifically, I’ve got 86 spam emails laid out in the book and properly formatted. I’m aiming for about 300 pages, so I’ve got a little more to go, but I’m ahead of what I thought my schedule would be, so that’s great. Of course, I’m still very interested in any spam you might be getting, so don’t forget to forward your spams to bbos@thebigbookofspam.com, and use that address to fill out forms by any known spammers!

Once I get all the spams laid out, work will begin on the commentary. After that is the proofreading, then the book covers.

It’s exciting! To keep up with site updates, you can use a RSS feed reader (link to the right) or you can sign up for email updates (also to the right). Your email address isn’t collected by me, it’s used by the Feedburner service only to deliver my site updates.
