Gravatar I don't know all the nuts and bolts of it, but here's what I suspect: the Bayesian spamfilters that are so popular now look for keywords, such as "ejaculation," but they probably also take into account the total length of the message and the ratio of keywords to "normal" words (so that it won't flag all those emails from friends and family which just happen to use the word "ejaculation" in a normal conversation). Spammers attempt to circumvent this by throwing the dictionary at you.

Personally, I miss the emails I was getting a few months back, where they pulled two random words out of the dictionary to form the Sender Name, so that my spambox would be filled with emails sent from Suppurating Orchestra and Platypus Cavalcade and the like.


Gravatar I should think it quite obvious, if you read within the text - It's clearly a subliminal Red Sox message.

Morose fans, disgusted by the work of the firemen out of the bullpen who would make the occasional cameo, got fed up by being brought to the doorstep of a World Series. The icy coverage from the media would go off like clockwork every off-seasons, particularly when the burden of watching another ring ceremony came around. The Sox would hope to earn their fan's respect back the next year, but there's still no explaining Heathcliff Slocum. The warmth would only return to fans faces with the coming of the Big Pappy, and the effusion of goodwill would persevere into the off-season, thereby making all of the lifelong dreams and hopes of the masses valid.

Hope that clears things up for you.


Gravatar Well, Randy, your explanation certainly sounds reasonable...a little TOO reasonable, I think!

Which is why the conspiracy nut in me must go with Hawkeye's theory. That DEFINITELY clears it up. It all makes sense now...
