    Yeah, Helly and myself have been rather partial to that particular parody for some years now..... it's gotten to the point that we remember these lyrics better than the original ones!

    My email account does a fairly good job of filtering spam and phishing emails, but this one slipped through. If anyone wants to tutor her in English, I'll give you the email address. The email below makes no sense. What ensemble? I don't make nice things in my bed - I do that in my workshop. Why will I regret if she is a nice girl? Bizarre.

    "Hello, Stranger! I would like to show you the ensemble in its natural form, but I don't know what do you say)). Maybe you will call me, and take this opportunity - to appear in your bed in order to make a lot of nice things? I'm only twenty, but I already know how to treat men and how to bring them joy and pleasure. Invite me and you will not regret I'm a very nice girl)) Find me here. I'm waiting for you."

    I'll take a shot at this.

    "Hello, Stranger! I want to show you my body in all its naked splendor, but I don't know if I should do it. What do you think? Maybe you can call me. If you do, I can come over, get into your bed, and have sex. I'm only twenty, but I have plenty of experience. Invite me over and you will not regret it. And I'm a very nice girl as well. Not just a pretty face. Find me here. I'm waiting for you."

    Wow! I never would have imagined that that was the message that the email was trying to convey. Thanks so much for explaining it to me.

    I used to get spam like this all the time for some reason. Then it suddenly stopped.

    I occasionally have to check my spam box because occasionally I have a legitimate email get blacklisted. I'm too embarrassed to talk about the emails I see in there, that's why I only check when I am expecting something and haven't gotten it. No, I don't open them, I just read the titles without opening them. Then I delete them.

    I have had this particular email address since 1996 (20 years, man I feel old) so I must have signed up to lots of crap in the last two decades, and those websites must have been hacked or sold me details on to third and fourth parties.

    Yep, anyone who has an email address that is older than me is officially old :p

    I have one email for throwaways and one for things that matter, somehow I have gone nearly a decade without abandoning them and I thought that was old.

    Did I mention I don't own a smartphone? Of course part of me thinks that smartphones are a fad and will be gone in a few years, same with facebook.

    You guys crack me up. :D

    I remember the old days when it was cool and totally acceptable to use a vanity email even for CVs, like hot_boy18@...

    No smart phone?? I'm looking forward to the day when I can have mine surgically implanted so that it can be operated by 'thought'.

    Someone must have thought about that when the internet was invented, and the laptop, and the smart phone. ;) A small price to pay.

    I don't have a smart phone either, no need for be to complain about 'slow download speeds' or 'what do I do now my contract is up?!?', and I don't have to charge it 24/7; ahhh my trusty Nokia 100.

    I had a Nokia for a long time and I loved it. Now I have this lousy Chinese model.

    I had my first cell phone so long that when its charger broke I had to get a new phone because they had switched to micro usb and thus no chargers of the old kind were available.

    Also, I rarely, if ever text.

    And I only use the internet on desktop computers, while sitting down.
