Impulse

Isn’t spam just wonderful??? I don’t see why people complain so much about it. It’s a treasure chest of odd names and phrases, perfect for the creative writer. Never in a million years would I have been able to dream cool names like “Pocahontas Brzezinski”, “Horatio Gillespie”, or “Dallas McKee”. Imagining what these characters are like is a delightful way to pass the time. The clever subject lines they use to subvert spam filters often turn up interesting phrases: “Tattletale mastery”, “Hobo afterlife”, “Clinging personage”, and one of my favorites, “Pharmacy insurgent”.

Spam truly is one of the great technological gifts for writers.
