Has anyone else encountered the phenomenon of (apparently) completely nonsensical and incomprehensible spam emails - ones which appear to be strings of (possibly automatically generated) unrelated sentences which don't appear on first sight to contain any clue to whatever it is they're actually trying to sell?
For example, in my inbox recently i recieved this:
Subject: moth-eaten pack rat

Saturday was successful. She has tits like Jelly in an onion bag. I can say that is where I feel comfortable and most confident.
THE SHOW IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT HIM AND HIS TRANNY WIFE!
So what are the three chords that Tom and Gary know best? Otherwise the whole ceiling may come down. I can say that is where I feel comfortable and most confident. I also have a game for it. The ritual was described as being like "an epileptic octopus opening a bag of flour". She could then make amends and thank the Cockney.
If so, please mail Holy Moly!

Apparently the whole thing was financed by Mr.

Ed, you see, has TWO girlfriends on the go.
Lots of things changing. He told me how, a few nights earlier, he had shagged some girl in the ass and she then shat all over him. Probably the cutest movie I've seen in a long time.
" The congregation stood up and applauded itself. Saturday was successful. I had to do the dance of 'I will not purchase any plants' before we went in.
I think that will do, except I can't put my New Rocks in it.
He's a crazy-ass pervert and all he talks about is sex. Really Loud iPod guy works in my building! He told me how, a few nights earlier, he had shagged some girl in the ass and she then shat all over him.
At first I thought something horrible had happened, like the bathroom light still being broken. Dies kommt dem Wunsch vieler Anwender nach leistungsstarken und gleichzeitig energieeffizienten Computersystemen entgegen.
And then there was this one, with its somewhat ornithological bent:
Subject: parsley distribute

Ever wonder how birds were named?
Under this pummeling, a smorgasbord of shrimp is stirred up for the
gulls to harvest.
In late July, the Great Horned Owls chicks are four and a half months old, and must fend for themselves much of the time. The Yellow-rumped Warbler, probably mid-way through its fall migration, is unafraid.
This astute aerial predator stands a little more than six and a half
inches tall, from its sharp-clawed feet to its stubby, ear-like tufts. In late July, the Great Horned Owls chicks are four and a half months old, and must fend for themselves much of the time. Recently we invited you to tell us your interesting bird stories. Someone must show children the delights and knowledge of the natural world, opening the gate for a lifetime of learning. Where have all the eagles gone?
This meeting of waters is a lush expanse of marsh, tidelands, and
tree-lined streams.
They are typically found in open coniferous or mixed coniferous and
broadleaved forests, and seem most at home in the dry Douglas-fir
forests of Eastern Washington. The cool, coastal fog of Washington lifts on a fall morning, revealing a monumental natural drama. Other birds help, too, including this Western Bluebird.
Only a few weeks after young Bald Eagles fledge from their nests, the parents leave the area as well. Severe storm winds not only kill many birds but blow others, especially seabirds, far from their normal range.

Recently we invited you to tell us your interesting bird stories. A new figure joined the Seattle Seahawks last season, and helped inspire the team all the way to the Super Bowl. How do they identify a particular species? Deep in left field, an Oriole pounces on the ball. How do they identify a particular species? It can be difficult to identify a bird by its appearance, and just as challenging to do so by its song. Washington State Senator Ken Jacobsen tells of his visit with a constituent and their discussion of birdbaths and accessories.
The Greater Roadrunner is a common species in the desert and brush
country of the Southwest, but its full range reaches from California to western Louisiana. Only a few weeks after young Bald Eagles fledge from their nests, the parents leave the area as well. For two weeks, the adults have not offered food to the young, but the owlets, now six months old, have become proficient hunters. You may find it in willow thickets, brushy tangles, and other dense, understory habitats, usually at low to medium elevations around streams.
which, while slightly informative, again leaves no clue as to what was the real purpose of its sender...
Now, both of these emails had attachments, which, of course, i haven't opened, but if i did, i'm sure they would reveal the actual purpose of the emils - but do the spam companies have some arcanely cunning reason for these sort of "messages"? Or are they just closet Surrealists?
(i'm hoping it is just spam, and not the slightly more worrying possibility of some ch@0t1c!!!!1! virus designed to make computers send nonsense...)
My email account is usually pretty spam-proof, as well...
Anyone got any theories on this (possibly Fortean, or even Discordian?) phenomenon? |
