They might be selling Viagra, but they are definitely on Methamphetamine.

Meth addicts are likely more coherent. Kinda makes one wonder if the original author is an english speaker. I think they may just surf the net and pull down text from obscure places. Much like ransom notes that are made from newspaper and mag clippings on TV.

The spam is definitely not Dada... Dodo, maybe... An example of what happens when you get your translator at HF...

Which reminds me this is the 50th anniversary of Ginsberg's "Howl". (See http://members.tripod.com/~Sprayberry/poems/howl.txt)

I stayed in a hotel in SF which was one of the Beat hangouts and got to visit some of their hangouts. I know some of you squares may not care for this stuff, but I think it would have been pretty cool to have been around at that time and to have been a part of the whole scene.

Excerpt from "Howl":


I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machin-
ery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat
up smoking in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities
contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and
saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tene-
ment roofs illuminated,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy
among the scholars of war,
who were expelled from the academies for crazy &
publishing obscene odes on the windows of the
skull,
who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burn-
ing their money in wastebaskets and listening
to the Terror through the wall,
who got busted in their pubic beards returning through
Laredo with a belt of marijuana for New York,
who ate fire in paint hotels or drank turpentine in
Paradise Alley, death, or purgatoried their
torsos night after night
with dreams, with drugs, with waking nightmares, al-
cohol and **** and endless *****....

Sounds like an Amazon customer service rep! LOL!
