I’m sure none of the Monty Python folks envisioned spam going on to become a word that meant more than meat in a can. But, hey, you never know. I get lots of spam. I have quite a few email addresses and most of them get at least some spam, so I know it is coming. A lot of it gets filtered by the multiple filters I have in place, but quite a bit still gets through. Here’s a sample.
Below is a sampling of some of the spam I received between 11:59pm Thursday and 10am Friday. This represents about one-third of what I got. I edited the content to save space and removed relevant links.
The first mail came from Nosegay Bastardizes. So, the sender’s first name is a small flower arrangement and his last name is a slang term curse word. Wow.
Warning! Do Not Attempt To Train Your Dog, Or Even Think About Hiring A Dog Trainer Until You Read This Ebook!
Dear Friend,
blah, blah, blah about product…

Not only is this guy my friend, he is warning me to not attempt to train my dog and not to think. Since I have no dog, this should not be a problem and since I haven’t had any caffeine yet this morning, thinking shouldn’t be an issue either.

Wow, in a single email i can get illegal cable descramblers, some kind of fuel saving device for my truck AND a training CD for making money on Ebay. Talk about an entrepreneur.
I love how he asks, “Maybe you are looking for something else?” as if I would’ve come to this guy, he shows me the illegal cable stuff and I say, “Nah, man, not today, but do you have any Ebay Training CD’s. I could really go for one of them.”

Tiberius Erectus! LOL!!!
My favorite part of these emails is the list of nonsense words at the bottom clearly designed to fool spam blocking software. Here is a list of words from these emails that are actual words…
dialect, casonova, vignette, arbitrage, confidante, gave, airport, tiresome, ionosphere, surcease, agglutinate, shuck, axisymmetric, competitor, swingable, physic, harpsichord, entice, bittern, cathodic, bronchial
That’s just from this email. Other nice ones included…
revolution, digress, conflagrate, prudent, doorsetp, cottonmouth, ecclesiastic, drumhead, endpoint, crosstalk, acuity, straightaway and butterfly
Damn, this spammer could win the nobel prize for literature just for compling a list of complex verbage in a piece of crap email. Must be another linguistics/philosophy double major gone the road of selling herbal viagra out of his garage. Shame.
