On Thursday, February 19, 2004, at 02:01 AM, "Elgenerale" <domerightnowyellow@videotron.ca> sent me an email with the subject of:

sup8er vrgra for your gurly psychology alcoholism

Now, the body of the email was thus:

emphasize swaps bucket activating various cause curiousest bandwagon reprieved. admiralty assiduous heatedly wards recycle clobbered perfected halve allocate. spawned pediatric modernly occupying deluding sideshow Knutsen mutinies warred.

Now, let's break this shit down...

Sup8er = super? (could even be meant to imply "Super 8" -- a type of moving picture film)
vrgra = Viagra?
gurly = girly?

That said, we are left with something like: "Super Viagra for your Girly Psychology Alcoholism." Still makes no sense whatsoever. So, what is up? It's a trick of some sort. To try to get by people's auto-junk/bulk mail folder. It worked on mine.

Now let's go inside the email...

fabuklous = fabulous
pjill = pill
drungk = drunk
potentiagl = potential
fgcked = fucked
dgck = dick
trgied = tried
tgried = tried

Next, they give me three links -- yet they are all exactly the same -- to "DO IT at."

And this is finally followed by a series of 27 words (most of which -- but not all -- are real words, but make no sense strung together randomly like they are. It's very odd. But I'm sure it makes sense in some sort of bypass-the-junk-mail-folder-code sort of way. Sure mutinies war. Sure, we all like to emphasize swaps. Sure, we all like to activate various causes -- the "curiousest" the better -- such as bandwagon reprieves. Uh, etc.

But we will get them. Oh yes my friends... we will get them in the end... (dot dot dot)

What's particularly odd about this piece of spam-shit is that it references a lot of things that have touched my life. For instance, I've used Viagra, I've used Super 8 film, I've been seeing a psychologist for a few years, and am interested in psychology, I have issues with alcoholism (which runs in the family -- as it always does), and I'm constantly misspelling potential as potentiagl. Okay, kidding about that last part.
