Spamalot

[kaitou]

No, the e-mail, not the play. I wish! Anyway, as you all know, instead of hating spam mail, I take an unholy delight in it. So I bring you a post of some of my best spam mail.

I've noticed a new trend, well, new isn't exactly the word, but I've been getting more spam lately with a plentitue of vowels. Take for instance:
Francisco Garland, who tells us that the "Ecoooonomy is finallly getttting beeeetter Mary"
or Ida Brandt who knows where to get Xaanaax Onliiine
or even good old Reuben Arnold (a brilliant name in and of itself, not just a man, but a *sandwich*) who wants me to refiill your prescriiiptiion onliiiine

When I see these I usually think of them in a haunting tone. Sometimes, if I'm in a really cheerfull mood, I imagine these tags like broadway showtunes.(And now we're back to that *other* spamalot).

Some of the spam headers actually become quite poetic. Consider...
like spring nightingales in
or
And the foreigner gazed
and the whimsical
outfits, little hats tipped
or the philisophical
Re: Enough, Aphranius, the question
or
find more deals nihilist

And some headers I just like, for instance
Re: aquiline-nosed young fellow, all
I mean, obviously

Sometimes the hidden gems lie within the e-mail itself. But this is something I suggest to only a seasoned spam reader. And definately not if you have an e-mail program that auto-opens attachments. But it becomes worth it when buried in promises of Rolax watches and Xaaaaanex you find...

That you'd give me, a second glanceBut I think that you can play the part Darling feel this magic tooDon't say no, you can't say no, in Acapulco
or
Attila the Hun dog nationality Day of the Dead
Let's talk it over you can't miss it (It almost makes sense. If you squint and cock your head to one side)

And last but not least is one of my long time favorites, the great spam name. I really wonder where they get these...
Jason Justice - is obviouly a crime fighter
Marcelo Good - ditto
Consuelo Lloyd - is...uh...
Alexandria Dahl - really isn't that much of a name until you throw in the e-mail header, Re: columns and golden statues, and doesn't THAT make you think of Alexandria.

Speaking of, I've been getting a lot of history themed spam as well. Like,
Re: proletarian. Look at his
or
toothache 1816 cowards

But back to the names, because boy do have a few more good ones. Best for last and all.
Is there any better name for a Cowboy Bebop Character than Jamaal E. Wong ?!?! I thought not.
But seriously, best for last.

JESUS POSEY

I rest my case.
