Get the SPAM mug.A Spam Shelter is a place of refuge created on online message boards in times of intense Spamage. Role-playing is often prevalent at such times and talk of smoking weed and fighting the Spam often takes place.
The Totse member Ford Prefect created the first Spam Shelter when Totse was under a massive attack by Eight_ Mullato. The thread reached over 250 posts before unfortunately being deleted in a following Spam attack. Many similar topics have popped up since then.

The horrific emaelstrom that ensues after a spammer discovers that some careless email newsletter sender has left his email server open, allowing the spammer to send an offensive message to all the newsletter's subscribers, making it appear that the offensive message is from the newsletter.
Since most of the subscribers were wondering how the heck they got on the "newsletter" to begin with, their automatic reaction to the offensive message is to reply with rude, and sometimes threatening, demands to be unscubscribed. The server then relays all the rude replies to all the subscribers.
The replies from the subscribers who receive the rude replies run from legalistic to tearful, to even more rude and threatening than the original rude replies.
Perhaps one subscriber out of a hundred will recognize that none of the offensive and rude messages were intended specifically for himself. He may even try to persuade the rioters to calm down, but few of them will notice his pleas for reason amongst all the crap in their inboxes.

Get the Soamie mug.A slang term given to the annoying junk mail placed in the folds of your favorite newspapers or magazine. Aptly named after its closely related cousin, e-mail SPAM or its younger brother the internet "Pop-up". Demonstrates a similar surprise to pornographic internet Pop-ups however the surprise is generally related to the sheer volume of literature (approx. one tree worth of paper), rather than seeing your grandma gang-banged by the Collingwood Magpies, while you drink your Double Frappamappachino with extra froth in a trendy internet cafe.
