Location: Avondale, AZ | TWA thought the song was saying:
"One ton tomato
I ate a one ton tomato
One ton tomaaaato
I ate a one ton tomaato..."
the song is in spanish.
It is singing about his dear Jean Carmon. |

Actually, anything by Rush will do.
And when you think about it, how did Dylan get away with stuff like:
you walk into a room
with your suitcase in your hand
you see somebody naked and say
who is that man
you try so hard
but you just don't understand

Sorry, thought you didn't know. That is what I thought the lyrics were at first. 'One ton tomato'. |

Location: Eugene, Oregon | I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Asoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo! (Repeat)
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo! Draw blood... |

Corner of his eye.
He's scared, he thought.
He must sense it.
If his sense and unexpectedly, even for myself, took a heavy mug from the counter and right, Poodle on the left,
and all so that Buzzard could walk between them. |

Location: SE Michigan | So you get these wierd emails as well Captain_Lovehandles?
I get them once ot twice a week, I have no idea what they are about or what if anything they are trying to sell. Maybe it's a clue though that they got our email address from this forum. Here's the latest one sent to me:
"In view of your bravery beyond the call of duty, and as an exception,
certain portion suffers from execrable translation. Some works have had the
lips, like he was praying. bright as theirs. True, the same young Jonathan Seagull was there that had again I have no clue what this wierdness is about. |

It's all about trying to get that link in front of you.
These paragraphs of gibberish are there to thwart the Bayesian SPAM filters a lot of people are using these days. They confuse the spam filters by throwing in lots of words and sentance fragments that "don't look like spam."
A Bayesian spam filter, like the one I use, spamassassin, analyzes every email and tries to guess whether it's spam or not based on the content of the message. It further learns if you reclassify mail as spam that it originally thought was fine. These paragraphs confuse the algorithm, which allows at least some of them to get through to my inbox.
All you can do is hope the spam filters get better. It's like the cold war of spam.. there is no end in sight.. each side keeps outdoing the other.. uggh. I've seen mention that spam represents something on the order of 80% of all email delivered. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | If there is no URL or reference to Viagara or something, it could be that on this occasion their script broke and forgot to include the payload. (i.e. the perpetrator is really stupid.) Or it could be that the message is purely meant to break the filters and a message with more useful payload is forthcoming (the perpitrator is really smart.) Or maybe the payload arrived in a format that your email client didn't understand so it got left out. I get several of these a day(!) and they usually mention Viagara, boobs, or mortgages.
Or maybe it's just the NSA trying to send you the latest Soviet submarine coordinates. :) |

Most likely, if you're in a corporate network, there may have been an attachment which was stripped by a firewall, spam filter of virus filter because it was an unacceptable file type, or infected.
Sometimes they're randomly generated, like this one from yesterday:
circumcision be sieglinda may inhale a kelley the roger and proposal not fibrous and spectacle it's proline , neuter some disembowel not maladroit may angus on loam not padlock the pit ! drake try forever the chevron or amygdaloid a cyclotron the redhead a heed it saucepan try carton or actor may
and sometimes they're lifted text, like this one (The Hobbit) from today:
Thorin spoke: Let us try the door! he said. I must feel the wind
on my face soon or die. I think I would rather be smashed by Smaug in
the open than suffocate in here!
Whatever they are, whatever they say, just dump em in the trash without touching. There's some very nasty nasties out right now. |

Great song, goofy words. I always thought the words to "Your Move" were strange. Or any Yes song for that matter. I remember years ago being a huge Yes fan. Now I look back and wonder, why?

Bill You probably don't smoke the same stuff you used to when you listened way back then. :cool: :D
I'm kind of the same way. I loved Yes and Genesis (Foxtrot period) and I simply don't get it now. Although, Yes is more musically pleasing now than the early Genesis. |
