Hello Miss Elizabeth I read your blog and I see you are looking for your own little personal muse or Cabana Boy!
I would LOVE to SERVE you if you are interested.
Here are my contacts if you so desire:

-NEIL OR KNEEL AT YOUR PERFECTLY PEDICURED PALE WHITE WHITE WHITE FEET ALWAYS-!!!


Dear Neil,

I so do not have such a desire…for a variety of reasons.

I have no need for a Cabana Boy – don’t own a pool and have no plans to go south any time soon.

I don’t think the “musing” you’re referring to would aid me in my writing endeavours.

I’m not too keen on your play on words – Neil/Kneel. And FYI, I haven’t had a pedicure in months.

Referring to me as a Queen will get you nowhere. I’m not the princess-ey/queen type. The only thing I’d want served is my dinner.

You don’t use spell check.

But the greatest reason for my lack of interest? YOU SPELT MY NAME WRONG – IT’S ELISABETH WITH AN “S” – NOT A “Z”!!!

Regards,
Elisabeth

P.S. Thanks for reading my blog – although I believe your interpretation is way off…



You’ll notice I left out the pertinent details regarding Neil’s contact information. If anyone is looking for a Cabana Boy or their “own little personal muse” let me know. I’ll pass along the information.

And, yes, I regret opening this message. Neil better not be passing along a virus…

You should have signed it "Ill regards"

Oh my goodness! That is just too funny! I had to read it twice. Really, is he serious?

The Bodhi Chicklet said...

As tempting as it all sounds, I would decline too. I really am a do-it-yourself-er. You know, it you want something done right...Good thing it's not April 1st or I would have thought you're pulling our legs.

PG said...

So...does this mean you don't want the Cabana Boy I directed to your blog?

Kidding.

Sherry said...

Well at least he didn't "promise" you a bigger penis....then again, who knows "what" a Cabana boy carries in his pockets!

oreneta said...

Oh my goodness, you get such interesting spam!

rebecca said...

Well, good for you girl, you sure know how to respond! That was mint.

Beth said...

guy;
Or, "Regrets - not!"

deidra:
If he is, he's out of luck!

bodhi chicklet:
You are such a sweetheart...I think??
Your comment cracked me up - because I'm not so sweet...

psychgrad:
You mean he contacted you first? Shucks.

sherry lee:
In this case, size does not matter. ;)

cheri:
I'd take a New York Times bestseller (for real) over a cabana boy - in a heartbeat.

oreneta:
Is it? Is it really spam???
Bwahahaha...!!

rebecca:
I didn't actually send that reply to him!

Beth,
I'm sorry, that would leave me a bit unsettled. Do you think it is someone you know, just having fun or a stranger. I love how you handled it, too funny. I just hope it doesn't trigger him to continue.

Have a Happy Easter! Eat your chocolate and find lots of peace.

So Neil didn't quite make the cut. You have to wonder about people. Then again, looking at the world you have to wonder that fewer wierdos express themselves so often. He should definitely go to Craig's List.

Cipriano said...

My guess is that Kneel DOES have a virus, probably.... but not of the cyber-kind. Of the venereal kind!

Beth said...

cheryl:
If "Neil" continues, I'll continue - to delete!
Happy Easter to you and all your family.

laura:
From what I hear (read!) Craig's List is just the place for him. ;)

cip:
And yet another reason to decline (ignore) his offer!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Now if it had been one of your handyman fix-it guys...different story! ;)

Barrie said...

Did you you check to see if it was a virus? Other than that, it was funny!

Charlotta-love said...

My favorite is the last line. As if buttering you up wasn't enough, he added "white white white feet".

Wow.

Just think, you could have a glass slipper on those white, white, white feet!

I really need someone to mow my lawn.

I've got someone else to trim my bushes, however. LOL
