I love international spammers and their fun translations!

Monday, May 15th, 2006

The rain has been falling for 4 days now and the Merrimack River is 8 feet above flood stage — they’ve closed half of the roads north of the river. Hopefully we can go out during the next break in the storm and take a few pictures at the falls.

so…why would you air “Embrace of the Vampire” on a cable channel like FX, at 11am? I mean, isn’t the subtitle of the film “Let’s see Alyssa Milano naked…often”?
With all the editing, it must be 15 minutes long.
