	Phil's Blogservations Monday, March 21, 2005 Posted by philgomes 8:00 PM Dictionary Spam? Dictionary Spam? Deborah Branscum reports some creative spammer pseudonyms that have arrived in her inbox recently. Normally I find spam anything but amusing. But lately I've received a series of missives with engagingly goofy sender names, including: Nepotism L. Warned Schmaltz T. Magistrates (aka victimization@finosa-reality.cz) Unpleasant G. Spherical (aka mongoloids@creations4christ.com) Tonia T. Scud (aka incorrigibly@funkboerse.de) Stagnating F. Conclusive Naturally I still hate spam. Even so I have enjoyed this tiny wink from the spammeister(s) clogging my in-box. Not long after noticing her post, I started noticing that I had been getting dictionary-inspired spams of my own: Husband E. Brainstorm Outshining E. Initialization Foundation O. Luxuriousness Sensual U. Release Lissajous V. Smirk Teleconferences F. Stave Deckhands G. Sextants Anarchists H. Shuddering What's going on? Spammers are combing the thesaurus now?
