good email subject lines.
you know you’re gonna be reading some good email when you get subject lines like this (all non-spam of course):
juicy confessional
madrid! madrid!
sexy, sexy, sexy!!!
friendly vs flirting

My friend celeste used to write the best subject lines in the world, they were great. I should have written them all down and saved them. Another guy I knew wrote truly perfect subject lines, and he had the name matsumo for his email alias, which is really just too cool for words.
I think writing great subject lines is a lost art form. Or a not-yet-found art form. Either way, if you can write a good subject line, you should be proud. Feel free to post any good subjects you’ve heard/written in the comment section. I’d like to hear them. and steal them. thanks!
Yes, you are correct!!!
What the hell, anyways, C? I checked your blog this morning, as is my obsessive habit, and nothing. Then I get home tonight and three posts? Also, I feel incredibly inadequate about this post. Our subject lines are always “hey.” How dull.
sometimes we say “heya” or “hey there”.
My favorite email subject line I ever got was:
“Hey Jonathan, it’s your old e-friend CJM – here’s that picture of my boobies we’d been dicussing”.
Except that instead of “old e-friend CJM,” it said “this is HR” and instead of “picture of my boobies” it said “sexual harassment in the workplace policy”.
Actually, upon reflection, that may have been one of the worse subject lines I received. Seriously though, send me a photo of your boobies. You’re not getting any younger, do it while you still have random cross country internet stalkers harassing you for e-breasts. When you’re forty, you’re gonna have to PAY people to look at ’em.
