Woo-hoo! One lonely little spam managed to crawl through Rick's pipes,
and lies here exhausted by the effort. Folks, would you just _look_ at
the poor thing?

>From 'nobody' to 'vps103.vistapages.com'. Amazing, these special domain
names that BofA uses these days; they must be trying to save money. Oh,
and better yet: it didn't get away unscathed - see that anti-spam weapon
sticking in its side?

Oh, janitor!!!
