Spam As Folk Art for 2007 January

(Sumana) Happy New Spam: Today's quote is from the middle of a spam, like a creamy filling:

Where we can somewhat fall in love with our stovepipe.

And passed along from Aaron Swartz:

you know how you want it ? as stable software!

(Sumana) National Spam Writing Month: Good Omens (Pratchett & Gaiman) quote spotted in spam:

"So computers are tools of the devil?" thought Newt. He had no problem believing it. Computers had to be the tools of somebody, and all he knew for certain was that it definitely wasn't him.

And random text grabbing & generation gives me a new magical-realism/Stephenson/Magnolia plot!

Furthermore, a highly paid submarine goes to sleep, and the sheriff gives secret financial aid to a skinny cab driver.

When a graduated cylinder is incinerated, the sandwich gives secret financial aid to a miserly football team.

A mastadon near the inferiority complex, some somewhat incinerated bottle of beer, and a hardly snooty football team are what made America great!

(Sumana) Harry And The Spammers: Today, I got spam with quotes from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Around the World in 80 Days," and some work of philosophy that cites Socrates. Funny how a single set of two sentences from Rowling distinguishes itself.

  One of Dumbledore's "a few words" speeches before the start-of-school meal.
