I worked an ISP in the nineties and a coworker registered atdot.com, ran a home server for it with sendmail, and assigned himself the dotat username. He would tell people over the phone that his email was "dot at at at dot dot com". This was when you had to contact InterNIC directly to register a domain.
Could be the same guy for all I know.
Digression: I registered mouse.net in ~1996 back when TLD categories were being enforced. But the NIC bungled the renewal and by the time I proved it to them it had been snagged by a Korean company. NIC threw their hands up because no one there spoke Korean. I think Altavista's Babelfish existed then but I don't remember if it supported Korean.
Oh man, that one is excellent!
For a while, I had butt.online as domain. You can also use subdomains like sexy.butt.online or licks.butt.online or fucks.butt.online... endless buttibilities. I set up my.wife@has.a.big.butt.online if someone wanted her email, butt that backfired...
Not a domain, but I did register a yahoo email address of roopappyatgmaildotcom@yahoo.com just to confuse people who asked for my email address.
I had drunkenloser@budweiser.com back when they had free email accounts. No one believed it was real.
I pay like $10/yr to keep the@feeltra.in even though I never actually use it.
Still waiting for the .train TLD to get made. There is .car, .bike, .taxi, .boats, and even .motorcycles but apparently nobody uses trains.
I've always used "Don B. Sonozi" (godfather@mafia.org) as my spam email, for shit that demands signup but not verification.
I figure that one day - one day - a spammer will learn regret.
Hilarious. As a non native English speaker, that took me a few seconds to get. But it's so good lmao, I'm stealing this one.
Yeah, I can imagine sh.itjust.works admin giving out his email...
I own [MyFullName].com just so I can have the email me@[MyFullName].com.
Similar. In stores or wherever in-person a hostess asks for my mail for ads or some dumb subscription, I just start to dictate "spam...yes, spam@[myname].com". Sometimes they believe me and I actually got the spam since I configured a catch-all.
um, dont look at my instance domain name...
Person: What's your email address?
Me: Firstname @ Lastname . nz
Person: Blue@Ether.nz?
Me: no, didn't you listen?
I also have ben.dover@buggerme.
Bugger Me is a very common phrase down under
I love it!
not joke domains, but when high on acid, my gf and me watched finding nemo. all i had in my head in that time was, how great the idea of a crypto coin named "fishcoin" would be.
I love to submit my ILoveSpam@domainname.com E-Mail Adress at In-Person Counters when they ask for an E-Mail-Adress. Makes every person I told it grin :D
Edit: noticed some sentence building errors. Corrected 'em.
corn.com is supposedly for sale. My partner thought I was crazy for submitting an inquiry to buy it, but GoDaddy never responded :( There went my dreams of being captaincorny@corn.com or maybe cornman@corn.com.
Oh well, they probably wanted thousands of dollars anyway. All the 4-character .coms likely got squatted ages ago.
I have my firstname@lastname.email for my primary after deciding to try and reduce my reliance on gmail, that can get good reactions.
I bought ymous.[tld] deliberately to have anon@ymous.tld as a functioning joke email for when places request one, though amusingly the reason I didn't say which tld is that it's not one which allows whois masking so it's really not anonymous at all...
I donβt think Communist.party is owned by anyone yet.
Also Sausage.party is a good one.
I donβt think Communist.party is owned by anyone yet
The joke
You are here
lemon.party isn't owned by anyone, either.
I once registered fuckwit.uk just for this, but I'm ashamed to say I never used it.
Make it redirect to whatever the current PM's website is.
Brainwashthemasses.org was one I got a long time ago because I thought it funny.
