Yesterday I received 181 emails for little blue pills.
A spam record for me.

My goodness! That really is overkill! :-)

Some breach in the wall?

"If you take the Red Pill, then ....., if you take the Blue Pill, .... no, wait,
that's the wrong one...."

I know that I am getting on a bit but I prefer the little brown pills as 
they last longer. ;-)

Not mine I hope. Possibly what used to be AOL's. The email address is 
owned by yet another company. During the changeover some subdirectories 
have changed their superior directory and T/bird's filters do not work.

Although they all arrived on the same day. The delivery dates are spread 
over a month. Well they went straight into my Junk folder.

Now that reminds me of a line from Robert Sheckley’s book "Options".

Mishkin leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. That was bad: 
derangement of various sense ratios, ideas of reference, hot flashes. He 
opened his eyes. That was not so good either. He reached for the 
Turn—off Bottle. It had a label that read, “IF THE TRIP GOES BAD, DRINK 
THIS.” He drank it, then noticed a label on the other side of the bottle 
that read, “IF THE TRIP GOES BAD, DO NOT DRINK THIS."

My Google-fu is getting better. :D

Yes an underrated author, now.
And he was not the only one to use the Rev Dodgson’s trip down the 
rabbit hole.
