GOT A DEVIL'S WAX POCKETKNIFE IN MY MIND

Got an e-mail from my friend Rich at work the other day. Rich covers technology.

He had a suggestion for putting spam to better use. Or at least some use:

Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 5:38 PM
Subject: Dada poetry

So all this spam I’ve been getting lately has used the filter-blocking technique of random words in the subject line…..which if you string together starts to sound like really good Dada poetry. The trick is using either a totally monotone voice to read aloud, or a fanatically passionate screech.


This one, I’ll call “Flyswatter lip-synch”:

Module bohemian
Junta bogus
Sputter
Noisy Adaptable
Cuisine Loincloth
Sunglasses
Coarsely wooden
Devil
Wax pocketknife
Healthy intent
Flyswatter lip-synch
Idyllic hind

An aside: I saw Wax Pocketknife open for Dylan on his last tour. They were awesome.
