Huh?

For a long, long time my personal email account enjoyed a spam-free existence - the few solicitors who somehow learned my address were filtered out by the built-in spam filters.  But lately a few have been getting through.  They typically consist of stock tips followed by these bizarre non sequitur-loaded blocks of text.  They are probably getting through the filters because the spammers have started to catch on that they are less likely to trip spam filters if they use normal people-sounding names and have innocent-sounding subject lines.

I don't get the text blocks, though.  They're not totally random; they have some semblance of Englishy-ness, but not enough to be definitely meaningful sentences.  Some of them sound like rather like modern poetry.  In the extended post is an example with my own commentary.  I didn't want to clutter up our site with this silly text.

you get the following photoshoot. When Should I Run My First Marathon?  Debris can cause dams thus raising the water level causing the water to spill out.
Phase 4, Race: For a high schooler, this may bemultiple races between tapers. When Should I Run My First Marathon?
If the sound of gentle running water is what you are trying to achieve then these units are best left to those trying to drown out traffic or urban noise. Love naked women in red lingerie, dressed as santa, or a reindeer, covered in eggnogg wearing their stockings and getting stuffed? I dont understand that,It is money i supose if your not smart to do anything else but you degrade yourself and who wants to do that. However, it can be constructed or dressed using a wide diversity of materials including coloured tiles, slate or mosaic.

Note how the poet uses creative punctuation, spelling, and capitalization to subvert received notions of English grammar.  She refuses to allow her creativity to be trammelled by the tyranny of proper usage. 

Clearly the Marathon is a metaphor for the journey of life.  The narrator of the poem wonders when he should take on the challenges of adult life by posing the metaphorical question of when he should run his first marathon.  Water and candles (tapers) have powerful religious symbolism.  The flood caused by debris is reminiscent of the Biblical flood prompted by the wrack of the sins of men.  Again the insistent question: when should I run my first marathon.  The sound of living water drowns out the noisy hubbub of the world just as Baptism brings about a death to worldliness.  A sudden transition to images of sensuality.  Paradoxically, the women are naked even while they are clothed, be it in underwear, Santa suits, or costumes.  The narrator's stream of consciousness spins out a ribald double entendre before consciousness of the dignity and purity evoked by the earlier imagery takes hold.

Would Stanley Fish be amused by this analysis.  I won't bother to finish it.  Maybe you can come up with your own interpretation.

You are not alone. My primary e-mail account only recently started receiving spam. One came through that crashed Outlook so I decided to reformat my computer. While that that may seem overkill, e-mail has become a very popular form of spreading malware. I saw on Slashdot that the DoD is looking at banning HTML formatted e-mails as well the use of the Outlook Web Access client. I think I'm going to go live in a cave!

I think the blocks of pseudo-English text are generated to look unspammy to filter software, thus making the message pass through more easily.
