"crabapple bigotry loot timothy sobriquet"

That's the only text in a spam email I received today (it squeaked past SpamAssassin somehow). Something about it is kind of poetic.

Semi-related: Is there a program that spammers use to create huge lists of return address names? They're so weird. Scanning through my Caught Spam folder: Millicent Kerns, Alva Vigil, Elvira Moreno, Zelma McKee, Lamont Harmon, Blanca Darden, Carmela McKutcheon, Odessa Pelletier, Emmanuel Nguyen (that must be an interesting family tree), Isadora Sandoval. It's like someone tossed a Young & the Restless cast guide into the hopper with a copy of Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Vi*gra to produce this stuff.

There was actually a Roz Chast cartoon a month or two ago in the New Yorker "depicting" the spam names people.
