PASSED AROUND OVER 1300X AND STILL GOING

No, I'm not talking about Courtney Love (rimshot). This is the title of a myspace bulletin thing I got the other day.

Now of late I've more or less eschewed myspace in lieu of facebook, where I just recently signed up and discovered that yes, the rumors are true, it's way better. But I still occasionally log in to, you know, waste time at work and check up on whose band's doing what.

I don't usually read the bulletin stuff, and god knows I've never contributed one myself (just FYI: the bulletin page is where you can send a message to all of your friends, the myspace equivalent of forwarding that picture of that d00d on top of WTC1 right before the plane crashed in) but the other day I was really, really bored. Like most days.

Anyhoo, my "friend" Daryn had posted something on the bulletin page (as he is wont to do - isn't it interesting how it's the same people posting on that thing over and over? Most of my friends avoid it, but there are like three guys who post two or three things a day. I can understand the bands posting their gigs' dates and whatnot, but do you really need to fill out every questionaire that comes your way or post all of the scores to every USA soccer match?). It was this:

PASSED AROUND OVER 1300X AND STILL GOING!!!

Body: YOU BETTER ADD YOUR NAME!!!!!JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS.IF YOU ARENT ASHAMED TO CLAIM GODTHEN PUT YOUR NAME ON THIS LIST:.REPOST THIS AS YOUR SCHOOL NAME

Now let's just stop right here for a moment. This is not a Jesus-bashing thing. Back up the turnip truck, cajun, don't go jumping to conclusions. I don't really care if Jesus freaks feel obligated to forward stuff around the internet/myspace.com proclaiming their affection for the Lord. I don't even care if they forward it to me. So I am not making fun of that.

What's funny is what was under the body of the message. There were names. 1300 of them. I shall list some of the humorous ones I came upon in a quick scan of the list. They are:
