ok.. I just got the weirdest spam mail... I don't usually
get much spam, but...

the peak of my incoming randomly-generated spam.

for one thing, they can make a poem, as drunken mastah has
pointed out.

hmmm.. how about feeding them to one of those "text to
speech" programs and use it in a song?

hmmm...

yeah sure, you can also open any book and randomly pick
words.

yet another poem.

poetry generated like that gets boring very, very quickly.

i tried it... it's hard getting them to synch-up to the
beat with any of the ones i've tried. do you know a good
one?

I did a thread about this spam-mail kind some months ago. I
think it's called hash-buster or something. Epohs kindly
explained it to me. You can use your betatesting powers to
seek it out. Hash buster is the keyword I think.

i've done that as well many times and the results were
varied... but it was never boring to me. i enjoy
random-poetry a lot more than the bulk of traditional poetry
i've read.

there's a huge shitload of poetry between "traditional
poetry" and randomly generated poetry.

it's just that I've seen very little randomly generated
poetry that doesn't like nothing more but randomly generated
poetry - which doesn't impress me much, as if I were some
kind of Shania Twain of poetry, if you will.

how do you feel about the cut and paste techniques? and
stream-of-conciousness?
