Best of spam for July 2006

I put these up at my main writing promtps blog and attracted 3 comments from spammers in less than 24 hours. Since no one comments on my blog that was a huge leap! I assume Technorati picked up the post and that's the route that lead to the blog but which of these phrases attracted the spambots? And why would they be attracted to spam anyway?

The searchlight graphic that went with "even darkle as in searchlight" (such an intriguing phrase!) now seems even more apt. So maybe it was the searchlight that drew them. Well, anyway I'll store them here instead and see what happens.

---

Some intriguing odd phrases that almost mean something, names, single words .... It makes me appreciate the people who write spam filters. They have to find patterns in these nonsense generators.

Use as writing prompts or just a chuckle :-)

Best of spam for April 2006

Some spam from the past. May and June were deleted before I saved them so there's a gap.

Word lists were popular this month as subject lines and tacked on at the end of the email. Usually the subject lines have the structure of sentences or phrases even if the combination of words don't make sense but many of these were just random strings off, often interesting, nouns and adjectives. Also popular was pulling random bits of sentences from particular books. (David Copperfield, DH Lawrence's Women in Love and another was some mystery novel based around a ski resort.) The sentences were just too normal and flowed together too well to be interesting.
