I got this spam:

i need a list of 40 buyable things beginning with A, can anyone help?!?!moi

Moi? Pretentious or what?

On the one hand, if it’s spam, it’s crap spam, as the post contained no links and the comment poster’s site didn’t actually exist. Therefore I’m going to assume that for some reason best known to themselves, someone does need a list of 40 things that they can buy beginning with A (although I’d love to know why). So here goes:

1. Aubergines
2. Amstel lager
3. Apples
4. Apricots
5. Alligator shoes
6. Almonds
7. Ardbeg Single Malt Whisky
8. an abacus
9. an abode, or place to live
10. an A-bomb (although hopefully these aren’t easy to come by)
11. Absinthe, which contains large quantities of…
12. Alcohol
13. an accessory for your computer
14. an accordion
15. an accountant (technically usually the services of same)
16. Acetic acid, by buying some vinegar
17. some acrylic, or other man-made fibres
18. some adhesive
19. admission to the theatre or a similar event
20. advertising on a website
21. some advocaat
22. an advocate, to speak on your behalf. And maybe drink your advocaat
23. an aeroplane. but you would need a fair bit of cash
24. some Abbott Ale
25. an Afghan hound
26. Aikido lessons
27. an albatross, seabird flavour, available in many good Monty Python sketches
28. an album to keep stamps in
29. an alloy of different metals, such as brass
30. an altimeter, so you can see how high up you are
31. some antifreeze to make sure your car starts in the winter
32. some antiseptic throat lozenges
33. an aqualung so you can go deep sea diving
34. an ass. or you could just make one of yourself, that’s cheaper
35. some Assam tea
36. an Alsation, to continue the list of doggies
37. an Amazonian anaconda (does that count twice?)
38. Anarchy In The UK by the Sex Pistols
