Re: you dance on mold townspeople
I know...it's been a while since I've blogged and this isn't going to be a real blog either. I just had to take some time to commemorate a random spam that I opened this morning. I usually delete all of them out of my bulk Yahoo! folder, but the title (see above) was just a little hilarious, so I opened it and here are its contents:

I dont mind acknowledging to you that Ive but when I saw how many importunate claims were pressed upon you in to him, this concealment, into which I am so unhappy as to have once been to me; and she asked me, with a quick change of My dear, observed Mr. Micawber - but glancing inquisitively at I feel it, sir, I assure you, I returned.

Now I know my reading comprehension isn't the best, but if anyone can help me out with what this means, I'd be ever so grateful. And who the fuck is Traddles? I'm sure Yahoo! did some truncating with the spam filter, so I'd be curious to know what this was really supposed to be. Enjoy!

You live...
I keep an entire folder of funny, undecipherable, absurdist spam like this... I love it...
Traddles is another character from David Copperfield, like Peggotty, Spenlow, Micawber, etc. Charles Dickens was eating some good mushrooms when he sent this spam; be sure to thank him!
I thought it sounded vaguely Dickensian, but wasn't sure. Peggotty was a pretty good clue, sounds like a damn Dickens name. My other clue was that I fell asleep halfway through reading it.
Ah, David Copperfield! Tommy Traddles was one of David's friends at boarding school.
I prefer Dickens un-blenderized, but, let's be honest: it's no Snakes on a Plane.
Here's another one:
