Poetry Spam

I've noticed a trend towards including text that reads like poetry or part of a short story -- a kind of written exquisite corpse for those selling Canadian prescriptions and the latest stock tips. Here is a recent example:


Much next one second.
People sentence their before out without.
Answer land school want may.
Use very animals soon of some water between that.

Any next again they under found.
See different learn another an three saw me down.
Big go took because many when.
Near need sound miles.
Took part parts like each a take right then.

Words well then kind all.
We better hard saw took need only word.
Left come that have help she off them second man.
Since whole miles him small hear they miles.
Last part several important years through.

Had across same whole years there do.
This across earth end line this picture can.
Year had feet earth year earth always then.
Line came like without been then.
Was through where she while change.
These things where side well near were the than ways.

Tree People

Well I don't know whether to be horrified or annoyed, but I just did a quick search and found out that these faces are a common accoutrement you can buy at many a garden store.

Buy why oh why oh why????

Freak Face Trees Are Multiplying

I don't want to be paranoid, but what else could I feel when I came upon THIS while strolling along in Shell Beach, CA, a few hundred miles from my street. Yes, there I was enjoying a weekend in the central coast wine region sans bebe no less, when I tuned to appreciate a quaint motel. As quick as you can say Bates, I jumped back in shock. The tree face freaks had struck. Or at least migrated to Small Beach Town USA.

So...to paraphrase a famous question: if a tree smiles on the street and there is only one person to be afraid, is it still scary?
