I just tried to write an email and when I went to write in the subject line my email was all “Let me help!” and it gave me two auto suggestions which are supposedly based on my personal history:
Baffled. I don’t even know what to say here.
Comment of the day: Um, also worth contemplating? The fact that you have one folder called “free booze” and another titled “what is my address”.

I need to label my mail folders like yours. So funny!
This reminds me of the time that I called my friend to tell her that another friend told me that people were KILLING themselves at a competitor of ours and she was all, “That’s ridiculous” and when she tried to Google it, Google gave her: “COMPANY-X SUICIDES STOMACH STABBING”
Turn out some guy stabbed himself in the stomach during a staff meeting. I’ve been tempted to reuse that one.

Is the owner of the penis a zombie, or is the penis the only part that is zombified? In my experience it’s the latter. Huh, maybe I haven’t had good penis encounters.
Well if you don’t have the picture it suggests, I am sure Mooooog35 will hook you right up with one.
Do you actually have a picture of a zombie penis on the end of a pole? Or do you have a history of such?
aw crap… i though you were talkin about cars. put a fork in me… i’m done.
I kinda wanna see that pic too.
Anyway, Are you communicating with a dead former president from like the 1800’s? Or is James Garfield the catagory of people that should be shot?
It’s because you’re using a Mac. Apple is obsessed with that.

I find the names of your e-mail folders even more hilarious. “people I should stab,” “stuff I should respond to but probably won’t,” “james garfield.” I want to see your thought processes in a diagram form. I would hang that on my wall.
The title doesn’t even surprise me but I love your folders. I particularly love the last two folders labeled: “what is my address?” and “Who are these people?” It reminds me of my grandpa.
My inbox folders need a spruce up. I will borrow some of your folder names, if you don’t mind. I especially like “people I need to get back to but probably won’t.” And also “folder for stuff that doesn’t fit in folder.”

Zombie penis makes good bait. I’m just not sure for what.
I totally don’t have a picture of a zombie penis on the end of a pole. I honestly have no idea where that came from. I did just do a search though and I found that I sent an email to a woman (whose name I don’t recognize) several months ago with that subject and with with NOTHING AT ALL to explain myself in the actual body of the email. WTF, me? This is why I shouldn’t be allowed to drink and email. Also, now everyone knows that I have over 700 unopened emails in my inbox. Awesome. I’m going to to go hide in bed now.
re: the apologize to and stab folders – I think you should consider including a “both” folder, because not every argument is that blank and white.
I’m pretty sure the best part of this post is the AMAZING list of folders in your inbox (aside from the zombie penis, obviously). “Free Booze” “NAVY Hooker Scheme” The only thing missing is “People I HAVE stabbed” and “Bleeding Unicorns”
I love your folder names! And doesn’t every write e-mails about zombie penis? Not sure abou the pole part, that makes you weird.

Not exactly related. . . I was just reading Charlie Huston’s Already Dead, when I came to the passage about zombies – what causes them and how to kill them. It’s kind of a primer, really. Anyway, I’m pretty sure there’s some plagiarism here. Case in point:
“Killing a zombie isn’t complicated, it’s just hard. The first problem is that the damn things are not quite alive in the first place. Or not quite dead. I’m not really sure which it is.”

You realize that you have a folder that could, quite possibly, end life as we know it? A folder for stuff that doesn’t fit in folders. You can’t actually put anything in there, because then it WOULD fit in a folder. Yet, you have the folder.

What an honor to be associated in any way shape or form with a zombie penis. Well done.
That kind of text isn’t going to show up for no good reason. Most likely your email program automatically attaches a picture of a zombie penis on the end of a pole. Like, it’s the default stationery theme, perhaps. Are you using ZombiePenisMail? If you are using an email client named ZombiePenisMail it wouldn’t surprise me if it did something like that. Ditto for Outlook.
I can’t believe everyone’s all over the zombie penis and not ONE single commenter mentioned the “you rock” suggestion. That’s just wrong – because, girl, YOU DO! (even if it is a suggestion for an email to send to someone else. You *could* be emailing yourself, right? What?? Doesn’t everyone do that??)

I was saddened by “stuff I should respond to but probably won’t” since it defines my life. But “Phone #s I should memorize?” Who does that? Surely Victor’s is enough. I don’t even have my kid’s #s memorized. If I REALLY have to get them, can’t I just call 911?
I really hate it when capital letters are omitted —- and the meaning changes completely.
For example: “The last time I saw a zombie penis on the end of a Pole, I was visiting a friend in Europe.” makes total sense. I pity the Pole, but that’s not for me to judge.

I then did a search of all of my emails for the phrase “the sex was” and one of the results (http://diana-vilibert.tumblr.com/post/662573893/how-was-the-sex), from an email I wrote in 2007, was:

What a coincidence, I too have an email folder called “navy hooker scheme”. In fact I’ve been campaigning for years to convince hookers to wear navy. Right now the poor girls are just screaming for a “what not to wear” makeover.

In my head, the zombie penis is spinning on its side atop the pole like those vaudevillians who would spin plates and sing that “ya tatatata” Sabre Dance music. Whether or not the spinner is a zombie, I don’t know. But I also like the fishing pole idea too.

I think zombie penis are very under appreciated… but then again aren’t all penis? good luck with that email
Someone stab me!! Before Jenny does!!
So this instantly remind me of that time you posted a photo and I was pretty sure it was a raging hardon brusting through a baby’s chest as halloween costume (but I wasn’t alone when I read the actual text of the post because you did too!). But then I remember that it wasn’t a zombie penis at all and it also wasn’t on a pole. Come to think of it… I don’t even know what the costume was supposed to be, but it was on gruesome looking penis-baby-death. Actually, that was the first post of yours I ever showed my husband. (he enjoyed parts of your advice column so I thought he might like your blog, but he’s too much like Victor. No sense of humor or human decency.) After showing him that photo, he added a parental control on our computer and blocked your site. Good thing I know more about computers than him. Some people are so touchy.
And, not that you’ll read this, this was my first time ever commenting on your blog. I’m pregnant and really don’t have a life. I work from home too… except minus the work part. But you rock. That’s all. Bye!!
Um, also worth contemplating?
The fact that you have one folder called “free booze” and another titled “what is my address”.
I smell a correlation.
Just so you know, proper mail folder etiquette dictates that “people I should stab” must come before “people I should apologize to”.
I was not surprised by the zombie suggestion….what DID surprise me was you didn’t have a ‘cherished e-mails from AgentDragonFly b/c she always sends me random & awesome drunken/ xanax induced shit’…….probably b/c I don’t have your e-mail…..so I will overlook that minor detail…..

I am firing my email account immediately, as I get no such choices. You have so much fun in life, don’t you?!

I’m surprised you don’t have a folder about bacon…

Your inbox folders remind me of my setup at work, but you’re missing a couple. My favorites that I’d suggest are “Infrequent Scraps of Praise”, “Well, That’s Just Great”, “Someone Else Is SO Going To Pay For This”, and “European Fuckups”, which I actually use surprisingly often.

PMSL! I showed my fiance this post, and he asked me, ‘how on earth did she get a photo of that?’

A zombie penis on the end of a pole is PRIME YouTube! Hahahahahahaha
Uh-huh… “I have no idea where it got that.” Sure, Ms. Bloggess, sure you don’t.
I saw this online and I thought of you — The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead http://www.gifts.com/search/product/The-Zombie-Survival-Guide-Complete-Protection-from-the-Living-Dead?ideaID=4992&prodID=44425
If I had a zombie penis (why I have one; I don’t know know!) I would totally keep it on the end of a pole. Because omg, it would probably be all slimy and oozy and yech! I would use it to wave at people or maybe just you know, stab at people if I wanted them to stay far away from me and they weren’t taking the hint.
You should probably check out that book, the one about complete guide to zombie survival? I don’t know though–I read that and even though before I wasn’t afraid of zombies now I totally kindof am. Because only the third floor is safe and unless you had a badass trampoline set up underneath the balcony when you jump out to escape because they finally figured out how to get up there..you wouldn’t make it and they’d probably try to bite you and turn YOU all zombified.
Scary stuff. But then so are penii on a pole, come to think of it, zombie or not!
C’mon, you know your email has you pegged. Both suggestions are just so you!
…does this mean there are pictures of zombie penis (peni?) and you haven’t shared?

Apparently I need to start getting more creative with my file labels. Also? Nothing screams victory like a zombie penis on a pole. Hell, I tend to wave one around after my husband and I get into a fight and, naturally, I win.

googling “zombie penis” is a strange sunday morning activity.
This made me laugh so hard I *almost* had another asthma attack. Almost drop dead funny. 😉
.-= Kyla´s last blog ..More where that came from… =-.
I absolutely love ” People I should stab “. I could so use a file label like that. Instead I’ve just been keeping my list in my head and then I always forget someone. Thanks.

Can you tell me more about the navy hooker scheme? It are relevant to my interests.
Thanx.
Ugh. Dave stole my line! I too would like to know more about navy hooker scheme. Also, I wonder whether you have my husband’s name on the list for “People I should stab”. I think you should.

What’s more interesting is your folder names…they made my day
.-= Meghan´s last blog ..Girly Moments =-.
I love the folder names- too funny. Sad for me mine are named pretty boringly. I may need to change that.

It’s like that time my phone decided to insert “assfuckings” when all I wanted was “ass”. Except that had nothing to do with my phone history. It was ALREADY THERE.

What email interface are you using? That looks exactly like my school’s email interface. Weird.
Love that ‘People who are yelling at me’ get either an apology or stabbed.
Sound about right.
P.S.
So … did the navy hooker scheme ever get up and running?
