Having nothing to do with nothing

Just came from hanging with my brother in law for a minute. I had forgotten basketball, like to play it myself, for years. Easy to forget, I was the guy you wouldn't be pissed to chose rather than the guy you wanted to choose. Still, felt good shooting around...I kept short-arming shit, though…

And I just deleted two Nigerian-style (because, you see, the widow was from Benin) scam comment spams.You know, that they apparently have enough success to keep doing shit like that seriously disappoints me. I am prepared to lower my estimation of human potential.

Someone told me that spammers don't really get success from the Nigerian prince letters, but moreso use the word of mouth discussion about them to show potential clients that people DO read spam and are affected by it.

Sounds plausible.
