Thursday, February 05, 2004  Spam  The spam names have been getting less inventive (ah, for the days of Foothold G. Heuristic and Torset McClafferty!), but today I got a good spam title: "Conquer Your Debt Good People." Sounds like it was sent by Miss Manners ("Gentle reader...") or perhaps a Quaker ("Friend, hast thou sufficient life insurance?") It also immediately got a song from the Messiah running through my mind: "Comfort ye, my people." The meter scans, and the assonance and consonance align, almost perfectly. (Yes, I know too much about a) poetry and b) classical music. What else am I going to fill my head with, how to multiply and when my bills are due?) [ at 9:39 AM • by Abby • permalink •   ]
