I'm constantly amused by the spam I receive daily. At the bottom of nearly every message (my lovely gmail account filters out all the nasty images and links that could get me in trouble), there are a few lines of spambot-generated prose. Other times, it appears as if they've ripped off a small section of a novel.

I thought I would share and encourage others to share as well!

I never read this stuff -- as soon as I see that it's spam I click on "report as Spam." What you quoted in the top half of your post makes me think I should at least glance at it.

As for the stuff toward the bottom, it reminds me of "language poetry," which I'm glad was just a fad, though it did give rise to this joke:

What do you get when you cross a language poet with the Godfather?

Somebody who's gonna make you an offer you can't understand.

("Performance artist," "surrealist," etc., can be substituted for "language poet," though unlike language poets I get performance artists and surrealists!)
