Isn’t spam just won­der­ful??? I don’t see why peo­ple com­plain so much about it. It’s a trea­sure chest of odd names and phrases, per­fect for the cre­ative writer. Never in a mil­lion years would I have been able to dream cool names like “Pocahontas Brzezinski”, “Horatio Gillespie”, or “Dallas McKee”. Imagining what these char­ac­ters are like is a delight­ful way to pass the time. The clever sub­ject lines they use to sub­vert spam fil­ters often turn up inter­est­ing phrases: “Tattletale mas­tery”, “Hobo after­life”, “Clinging per­son­age”, and one of my favorites, “Pharmacy insur­gent”.
Spam truly is one of the great tech­no­log­i­cal gifts for writers.
