Top 5 WORST Email Addresses Ever

So it's now pretty much required that if you apply to a school, you give them an email address at which they can contact you.

And guaranteed, every year at least one person I interview doesn't make the "wait, someone is going to actually USE this email address to contact me if I enter it on my application" connection. Hilarity ensues.

Below are
my favorite email addresses of all time (and yes, I'm editing these slightly to protect the ill-advised. Please don't email them...)

#5: WilsonFamily04@.....com. You're 18, and mommy won't let you sign up for your own Yahoo address? If it's 1992--or you're Amish--fine, but is "cloistered" really the image you want to send if you're applying to college? (In fairness, maybe that's why you're applying to schools on the other coast...)
#4: 2stoned2care@.....com. Pretty much sums up most people's college experience.... (Note: You're an auto-admit at UC-Boulder)
#3: krazeekris@....com. Anything that indicates you may end up on Girls Gone Wild 28 next fall is probably a bad idea. (Runners up: xxxBlueEyedCutexx, SexeeKate82, BabyLuv. Although who knows, maybe Cornell has an unstated Sexee quota they need to fill every year?)
#2: UCLAlvr88@.....com. Points for honesty--and maybe UCLA loves you back--but what about the other 12 schools you're theoretically trying to get into? (Runner up: YetAnthrWhiteKid@.....com for not even trying to fight the stereotype, and AsianDancr, but only because dancing never came up during the interview)
#1: ynghungstud@.....com. I'm all for truth in advertising, but this is probably more information than your interviewer wants to know. Although I do love the idea of the form email from Harvard that starts "Dear ynghungstud...."
