Anyone noticed how absolutely bizarre some spammers “names” are? Here are just a few from my inbox this morning: Colorfully O. Evaporation Intervention K. Grilles Augustine Harley Staccato D. Constraining Bindery D. Quested Hometowns E. Decal Kareem Crockett Bowdlerizes M. Paralyzed Muzzle C. Cutups Editorialized M. Entrenchment Beard R. Nereid Some of them sound like potential Googlewhacks. So, what are your weird spam sender names? ---

I know I have more, but here are a few: Erfooble Burbibble Dafoggle email ones that look like they came from other people here at work ones that look like they came from me Angelina Holie and today, Elliot Gould!!! ---

Some of these names remind me of the odd names used by Groucho Marx and W.C. Fields in some of their movies. I can certainly imagine W.C. Fields as a cantankerous but loveable Muzzle C. Cutups. And wouldn’d Groucho make a great Intervention K. Grilles? ---

Even the ones that _could_ pass for real names are always seem just a bit _off_. Wouldn’t you know it, I’ve only got one spam in my inbox purporting to be from a person (unless you count glurge from my BIL), and it’s from “Leanna Quintero,” which I guess is pretty normal. ---

I don’t get much spam, and what I do get always goes to my “special” email account I use when I sign up for something that I think might spam me. A friend of mine, however, got one from “Ordure H. Dispirited”. That’s about perfect. ---

Oh! I got this one at work and I wrote it down because it made me feel so happy. But I didn’t open the spam: Anticipation F. Affix It’s so pretty. ---

These have been cheap entertainment at work lately. My all-time favorite, which I just got on Thursday, is: **Slinky F. Bathmats** 😃 ---

Sweet! I have received an e-mail from **Porno H. Generosity.** This worthy wishes to apprise me of “Lveoly carootn hero in perrevt action.” Oh **Porno H** , truly your last name is generousity! Actually, my spam filter tags these surprisingly easily–they are almost always sent straight to the Junk Mail folder. Although just now, one from **Honer L. Servants** just got through. ( **Honer L. Servants** , by the way, is apparently “seexy.” So now you know.) ---

I don’t remember the name (I’ve just deleted it), but the subject was **Re: Married Werhos setrctehd by huge dick**. _Werhos?_ What, we have were-ho’s now? They turn tricks when the moon is full? ---
