“Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?”
Posted by lorneau in UncategorizedA few days ago, Ruby was telling me about e-mails she gets from two coworkers. “Sent from my iPhone.” or “Sent from my BlackBerry.”.
(Today I saw “Sent from my iPad.”)
So I suggested she added to her own e-mail signature something like “Sent from my ivory tower”. If you are going to show off or use your phone as a symbol of status or “lifestyle”, might as well cut the technological middleman. “I need no gadget to show how much better than you I am.” This last line I probably kept to myself, but I am sure she could sense it just the same.
She agreed it was an interesting idea, and suggested “Sent from the highest throne of Mordor”, to which I added “‘and relayed by The Mouth of Sauron’, just to confuse people who never read the book or watched the Extended Version”.
It sounded fun, so lately I have been thinking of other such “Sent from” lines with which to end e-mails. Here are some I can remember:
Sent from my Summer retreat in the Mediterranean.
Sent from my secret space station.
Sent from my PSP.
Sent from my common desktop computer.
Sent from a potato running Linux.
Sent from my local post office.
Sent from the future to warn you.
Sent from my Altair 8800.
Sent from a parallel universe where everyone wears goatees.
Sent from the quarantine zone.
Sent from my secret-agent wristwatch.
Sent from my hacked NES.
Sent from Area 51.
Sent from my fully armed and operational battle station.
Sent from my Casio Electronic Organizer.
Sent from my Wii.
Sent from the last refuge of mankind in this continent. Please send help.
Sent telepathically.
I never sent this e-mail. This is all happening inside your head.

Sent from Temuair.
I like the fully armed and operational battle station, the n-gage, and the owlery. :P
Sent from the intertubes!
Claro que eu sou suspeito para dizer, mas o “sent from my iPhone” é a assinatura padrão dos e-mails enviados do iPhone. É bem bobo, mas depois que você me explicou que é possível falar em um Nextel sem ser em viva-voz, acho que pouca coisa me surpreende, vindo de nós humanos.
O “sent from the future” me lembrou de um site em que a gente pode escrever um e-mail que será enviado para a gente mesmo, em uma data futura, já viu?
Eu gostei do da batata rodando o Linux.
