    My spam email is my aim username from a hundred years ago@aol.com. I always get a laugh when I have to verbally give someone “my” email address. It’s a reference to a shitty late 90’s early 00’s band.

      Mine is about work I used to do and if you don’t know me and don’t know I did the work, it sounds arrogant. Oh well.

        I for one do not consider your work to be arrogant at all, and I actually think we need more people in the flying mollusc field, squid or otherwise. Appreciate what you and your fellow celaphopods do, and keep up the good work!

          Why thank you, but flying squid is my identity, not my job. Sadly, I’ve never been paid for soaring above the waves.

      How do you still have an @aol.com email address? I have a pretty crazy @cs.com email that I imagined lost access to a really long time ago… I tried to log onto it now, and AOL calls me (not even SMS verification codes!), and it says “press 1 for your code”, but then it just hangs up when I press 1. Crazy company.

        Just stayed using it for spam. Any time I buy something, I give them that email, so I still log in when I need a receipt or whatever. There’s like thousands of unread emails in there.
