Oh man, that one is excellent!
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.
I work at a gaming themed brewery and I now desperately wish I had @gameale(.)com as my domain
I haven't even checked to see if it's available, it could still be yours!
Just checked, registered since at least 2018. The .org and .net variants are still available though!
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...
I own poggers.website which is always funny when I tell people to look at my "poggers website".
At some point I tried to register chee.se so my email could be themoonis@chee.se but unfortunately it's a 4-letter domain that spells a common word, so it's squatted to hell and back.
Don't let your dreams be dreams. ischee.se is available so you could do themoon@ischee.se
Yeah but the whole point was that the @ would replace the a. Besides I have decided I would stop buying domains for single jokes.
No, because https://cock.li/ already exists and offers absolutely fantastic email hosting that you'd be proud to put on a business card.
The link is safeish for work, I swear. The only nsfw thing is the naughty language. No nekked pictures or goatse awaits the brave traveler.
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.
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.
Yeah, I can imagine sh.itjust.works admin giving out his email...
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.
I had drunkenloser@budweiser.com back when they had free email accounts. No one believed it was real.
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.
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!
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.
Not to embarrass or unsettle, but I know someone, when debating online, who would ask the other side to send him their evidence, or an article, by email at this address : chris@toujoursraison.final
In French, if you read all the words and symbols, it translates as "Chris is always right period".
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.
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.
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.
Brainwashthemasses.org was one I got a long time ago because I thought it funny.
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.
