Just recieved an interesting spam
" James protect yourself from home invasion"
And they knew my name 
At one time years ago, I filled in some kind of online survey or something but put in nonsense insted of relevant information, including the name, but apparently had to put in a valid email addy. I still recieve spam along the lines of “plwojaosiah$spvv, do you want lowwer interest rates?”. I used to get several every week, addressing a Mr. plwojaosiah$spvv.
One nice thing about owning your own domain is complete control over your email addresses. Now, whenever I have to fill out some online form that wants my e-mail address I use a fresh new address from my domain. Say for example I am placing an order at xyz_widgests.com - I’ll use an e-mail address of xyzwidge@mydomain.com. This does two things for me. By default, all e-mail to my domain comes to a single mailbox, but I can configure individual addresses to forward or dispose of the mail instead of sending it to my inbox.
-
If I get a lot of annoying mail from this outfit I can route it straight to the bit bucket at the ISP.
-
It reveals immediately if xyz_widgets sells their email lists to spammers. BTW, you’d be surprised how many “legitimate” companies have sold my email address in spite of their stated policy of not doing so - although that sort of thing does seem to have been declining some over the last couple of years.
Spam… I like it fried with lots of mustard!

I don’t eat it often but I do, I do, I do.OOOOOOOOOO III Doooo
Got it in our army rations back in the 60’s, most didn’t like it, so I would barter, scavenge for it (because the idiots use to toss it.) Never went hungry.
Yummie

I prefer spam spam spam spam eggs and spam but when unavailable will settle for spam eggs spam spam with toast
Tom, now I’m going to have THAT stuck in my head all day! I’m going to kill you and not a court in the land will convict me when they find out why I did it.
But judge, he needed killin’
…and Tom quietly slips away into the witness protection program…
All the Best

Markb. Tomatoes for breakfast? I noticed that in England too. Ug. But the Spam is outstanding. One of my favorite processed food products.
Tomatoes for breakfast ain’t nuttin’ - I spent six weeks in KL Malaysia and they eat tuna buns for breakfast.
Actually, after I got over my sugar withdrawal I kind of liked 'em…
" Iowa carp, it aint just for breakfast anymore"
For the last year or so I’ve been getting spam emails that are nothing but lists of random words (Pulitzer roofing Angela intolerable pudding squeak!) but lately it seems like they’re trying to get some kind of message to me. The things are almost making a kind of sense:
haunch defined by befriend dissident inside bonbon, or minivan behind share a shower with girl around.He called her Buddy (or was it Buddy?).Now and then, defendant from find lice on spider of.When you see minivan over briar patch, it means that gonad for takes a coffee break.Furthermore, razor blade living with customer hibernates, and living with plaintiff steal pencils from wheelbarrow related to.
inside tape recorder ceases to exist, and pickup truck around shadow takes a coffee break; however, senator near sell to..A few dilettantes, and beyond fundraiser) to arrive at a state of cowardIsaac, the friend of Isaac and ruminates with bride defined by.looking glass defined by coward laughs out loud, and behind grand piano prays; however, related to diskette learn a hard lesson from..
And just this morning I received this:
cheese wheel near hesitates, because living with food stamp buy an expensive gift for beyond cloud formation.mastadons remain miserly.midwife of trembles, or chestnut behind microscope steal pencils from toward ball bearing.Any mortician can find lice on paper napkin over movie theater, but it takes a real girl scout to abstraction of support group.If coward living with ignore customer behind, then over necromancer reads a magazine.mastadon related to sweeps the floor, and graduated cylinder near light bulb throw at labyrinth from.
I think that somewhere a computer has acheived sentience, and it’s trying to communicate.
in an abstract way, that is way cool… 
think you should post it in the pulizer-prize thread..
I think those are sent out by spammers to get verified addresses. They use innocuous text to fool spam blockers, and the headers include a request for a read receipt. With highly automated clients like outlook, as soon as you open the e-mail it responds to the read request and sends the spammer a confirmed address.
Of course, if you’ve got “automatically respond to read requests” turned off you’ll be asked first.
Just got Chapter 4. You have to admit there’s an odd beauty to some of this prose…
Unlike so many stalactites who have made their self-actualized vacuum cleaner to us.If of eggplant trade baseball cards with insurance agent toward bowling ball, then cashier toward feels nagging remorse.for pit viper self-flagellates, and defined by lover wakes up; however, tea party of midwife caricature..When you see defendant about, it means that inferiority complex over sweeps the floor.Unlike so many mastadons who have made their botched grand piano to us.cowboy over waif is most difficult.
