Hi Jeremy,
This is Dave ------ from ---------.com. I wanted to drop you a quick email and let you know about our website - because I thought “maybe” your readers would be interested in it?
Hi, Dave! Thank you so much for emailing me. I can't wait to hear how my readers could possibly (maybe) could be interested in your website. Oh boy! I'll bet it's some really funny or sick shit, dude.
---------.com has 25k cabins/lake lots for sale throughout MN & WI & 850 cabin rentals available. We are based in Richfield – and we are by far the largest directory for this kind of stuff (and our site is very easy to use).
Not everyone can afford to buy a lake home, but just about anyone with a job can afford a one-week vacation at “the lake.” Anyway, I hope you will take a look – and if you think your readers would be interested in hearing about us – please feel free to let them know!
If you have any questions – please give me a call or shoot me an email.
Thanks very much!
Dave ------

"life's better at the lake"
Uh... huh. So you got me all excited over nothing. You're just some dicklick who randomly emailed me a form letter trying to get me to post a link to his website selling lake cabins and time shares in Minnesota and Wisconsin. From a glance at my traffic logs, apparently you went to the Minnesota blog index at City Pages and just clicked your way down the list. Is the real estate market really that bad that you need to resort to blindly emailing blog owners in the hopes that one of them will get excited enough to contrive a phony post to sell your shitty cabins? Or am I wrong and you actually carefully read my blog and decided that lovers and casual perusers of poop and vagina talk will go stark raving ape spank over buying a lake cabin. Well, the joke is on you, Dave. Most people who think I'm funny don't even have a high school diploma, think Jeff Foxworthy is a genius, and can't afford a bus pass, much less a lake cabin. Work your sales magic on that demographic, cowboy.
But at least your messed up ASCII picture of a cabin warmed my heart. I sure wish I owned a lake lot.

Ha! I got the same thing!
Come on, it's hard to be annoyed at a man who sends you ASCII art, douche though he may be. Even if said ASCII art looks like some unholy amalgamation of a lakeside cabin and a choo-choo train.
Aaron, I was wondering if anyone else got that. Actually I was tempted to post it unedited since the last thing a family-oriented business needs is to be associated with my blog. Unfortunately any publicity is good publicity (from all 5 people that read my ramblings).
Rich, I was indeed charmed by the cabin vs train crash. The blood trail made of cedillas is what won me over.
I didn't get one of those e-mails! Maybe he sensed that I have no money...or readers...either way...
Well, I didn't get exactly the same thing because I didn't get the ASCII art. Probably because it looked like crap when he pasted it into my contact form from my site.
Either way, I like how he put "maybe" in quotes. As if he's really saying something else. Ya know, "maybe" if you catch my drift?
Alie, that and you don't have your email address on your blog. But he should have sent it to you via MySpace. I want a friend request from him!
Aaron, I was also puzzled why he put "the lake" in quotes. I didn't realize that it's such an uncommon and slangy term. All those "cool" kids with their "iPods" like to drink "PBR" at "the lake." At least he correctly used the American convention of putting the period inside the quotes. Apropos of nothing, that convention drives me up the wall for some reason. It just doesn't look right. I sometimes ignore it when I go to "the lake". Take that, Chicago Manual of Style!
