		<description>OK, mine didn&#039;t get through spamprobe, but I happened to come across those mails when I was looking at my spambox, and they were so weird that I just had to share with everyone.

(I have this little conspiracy theory: this glucksman bloke doesn&#039;t actually have any goods to sell, and his job is simply to collect the money and then disappear or give all sorts of excuses.)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m wondering if any people have posted fake comment spams that got eaten by the filters first, because I&#039;m surprised bi&#039;s and abb1&#039;s got through.</description>

That aside, this glucksman@yahoo.com seems pretty desperate.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;bi&lt;/b&gt; sez: &lt;i&gt;0MGZ MY SP4M R0XX0RZ B1GG3R TH4N UR SP4M L0LZ&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s some great classic spam.  I saw that stuff like &lt;i&gt;fifteen years ago!&lt;/i&gt;  If I remember right there was this mystery guy who&#039;d now and again jam pieces of three-hole school notebook paper, covered on both sides with these deranged hand-written essays, into the front door at my office in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.  I believe he was the one who kindly turned us on to the pamphlet offering the liberating wisdom of Neo-Tech.

&lt;b&gt;abb1&lt;/b&gt; sez: &lt;i&gt;Sounds like a good deal, too bad I don’t have a husband.&lt;/i&gt;

Then you must respond to this solicitation &lt;i&gt;right away!&lt;/i&gt;  I mean, if you did have a husband, I could sort of understand you ignoring the pain that is killing him; I mean, that&#039;s what marriage is all about, isn&#039;t it?  But in your case it&#039;s obviously some poor innocent stranger who&#039;s &lt;i&gt;suffering martyrdom;&lt;/i&gt; you can&#039;t just sit there and let this happen, can you?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m partial the aphoristic and philosophical spam of &quot;Wellington H. Circumspection,&quot; &quot;Noodles E. Effervesce&quot; and company:

&lt;i&gt;The desire to know and to understand are themselves connotative, i.e. have a striving character, and are as much personality needs as the &quot;basic needs&quot; we have already discussed.As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.&lt;/i&gt;

Apparently this &quot;solohcgirl ufcked by mtosenr&quot; spends her free time with the folks from Linklater&#039;s &lt;i&gt;Waking Life&lt;/i&gt;...

&lt;i&gt;It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.&lt;/i&gt;

...or reading the latest articles by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uchicago.edu/research/jnl-crit-inq/issues/current/31n3hillismiller.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;J. Hillis Miller&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven, Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.&lt;/i&gt;

...or William Blake.  Too bad I don&#039;t have time to annotate them all, but they&#039;re keepers.  Here&#039;re some more:

A good metaphor is something even the police should keep an eye on.

I flatly declare that a man fed on whisky and dead bodies cannot do the finest work of which he is capable, because to be like Christ is to be a Christian.

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes.

Whatever you &quot;assume&quot; to be possible -- or impossible will have a tendency to become real for you.  

Reagan won because he ran against Jimmy Carter.  If he ran unopposed he would have lost.

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance.

Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.

People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.

A book might be written on the injustice of the just.

We do not stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing.

My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.

I guess there really &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; a market for everything. You think it&#039;s aimed at tired wives? Long-suffering neighbors?</description>
