Spam, spam, tasty spam

Every now and then, a spam subject line is so tempting, I can't bring myself to delete the e-mail. To wit:

Subject: Cornhole, Buckminster, Sambo and Hakio Hardturd were getting a little pissed that they were not seeing any game to speak of.

After the obligatory colorful image of a box of text touting a stock, there's the obligatory random sequence of text. Some of it's in Dutch, and for my money, there's no funnier language than Dutch. There's a little serious espaƱol. And then, we are treated to some of the finest English prose ever committed to bandwidth. The English bits, they're like little giggly treasures waiting to be discovered. I reprint the spam here in its entirety, for your edification:

Now, if you Google those oddball English phrases and the subject line, they'll all take you to the same humor site. But you know what? I think they're funnier out of context.

This line makes me want to go write a novel: "Even when they were loaded, which was basically all the time, except when they were in various jails, they saw no moose whatsoever." I clicked the link, but I didn't want to go through all the stories to find where it came from. Anyway, like you said, the rest is better left to the imagination.

"And what about you female boozehounds?" Yeah, what about us? I've only been waiting for someone to ask.
