Improving your vocabulary with spam

Apparently, spammers have taken to/have been/are sending out spam with a list of words either in the subject or as part of the spam message itself. The intent is to fool spam filters. Did I get that right?

We all get a lot of spam. It sucks. But, aside from offers to improve your sexual performance or your net worth, they're also implicitly offering a way for you to improve your vocabulary.

Before you clear your "Deleted Items" folder, pick a random spam message that has the vocabulary spam. You'll see something like:

baseman democracy connote bisect dendrite fir dalton m's walt ix anecdote towhee subjunctive havana auspices 
asuncion lanka altruism bloodstream leeuwenhoek desirous accordion sarasota quasiorder salutation matron badinage newspapermen iii nouveau 
Now, go through the list and see if you can come up with the proper definition for the words on the list. Or pick a few that look interesting and see if you can get the correct definition. You decide on your own rules. Remember, you can always use the "define:{word}" syntax over at Google to help you out.

Enough badinage ... back to work!

An open letter to Jessica Simpson

I fear this may be one of many open letters to Jessica Simpson /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Dear Jessica Simpson,

Please stop using the phrase, "Oh gawwww.".

Please. Please. Please. Please. I will totally be your best friend.

Sincerely,

David Czarnecki

PS- Please please please please. Thank you.

PPS- I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling for your phrase, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
