i like spam

I mean, probably I don’t really, but on the right day when I’m in the right mood, getting a post like this on my website delights the part of me that really likes words and absurdity.

acclimation neuromast philocatholic patio miniver extemporarily pantothenic typer

And though I’m sure it’s some kind of program that randomly generates these word lists to trick spam-catchers, I do like imagining some actual person taking such pride in his/her spam that he/she individually comes up with a word lists for each post… or someone at least who carefully constructed a computer program that would write the phrases to perfection. (I’m thinking along the lines of David Cope’s EMI program composing music.)
