Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Eggs and Spam

I think spammers are either losing it or getting more creative.  I just wanted to share some of the names in the recent "From" fields of my spam:

                                       Liesl Diaz

                                       Itzhak Browning

                                       Chauvinist A. Spline

                                       Beck B. Druid

                                       Tuomo Stolle

                                       Subsisted M. Mansard

                                       Budgerigar H. Marked

HUH?

[Addendum, Monday afternoon: a spammer called "Zeru Roache" just wrote me a message "Re: the AMBtexN" (presumably, Ambien).  Without opening it, I can read the first few lines of text.  They looked somewhat familiar.  Googling it, I discovered that it was a section of The Hobbit...

Addendum #2, Tuesday evening: just got a message from "Jayson U. Neurons"...he wants me to know about $tyles of RePLIcA -ATCHES!  Sweeeet...

Addendum #3, Wednesday morning: there's a treat in my inbox from "Ridiculous U. Celibacy."  I'm so glad he knew how to reach me.]

    from the hobbit….. that’s great…. :D
    hey, the link below the post, BTW, was for the ‘Christian Children’s Fund’, who have a bad habit of running ads at 2am - one time I was a bit tipsy and feeling all emotional, I saw the ad and actually called them up… they never picked up, though, which i took as a sign I was not to ‘adopt a 3rd world child’ thru a potentially fraudulent org..

    it’s really hard to decide which one of those names is my favorite. they all sound like characters from some sort of absurdist murder mystery.

    I sort of liked Budgerigar H. Marked. He sounds like a parakeet who’s about to get whacked…or possibly coded for easy reference among all the other parakeets?
    The middle initial indicates that he’s dignified.

    Alicia- right now it’s a link for “the next generation of Smileys! Now with Sound!” though I feel like the video ad that has best represented my lifestyle choices is the one that says “Fart Button.”

    as per our earlier conversation, i received a very special spam from one

    omega poot, or, the fart at the end of the world.

    mr. (or ms.?) poot was asking if i would like a bored housewife as a fuckbuddiexx00fjdkla;. well, that’s paraphrased. what he (she?)actually said was

    com oppsy no space before com owYdMS7uf1

    That’s awesome. I’ve actually received a barrage of new spam in the past couple of weeks, but even though some of the names had high comedic value, I just can’t keep up with it anymore!
