Strange biblical headlines

In today's spam I have the marvelously evocative headline: "One cherub and an abomination of Kabzeel" which I feel begs to be a Neil Gaiman short story.

I also have "An Estrange of Predicate" which sounds like a tale that only Ursula Le Guin could properly do credit to.

A Brazilian gentleman also wishes to offer me a "smelly roller coaster" : surely an invitation that no sane person would willingly reject ?

All I ever get is emails from banks I don't have accounts with asking for my account details. And also offers of enlargements which I really don't require so long as I remain in my current gender group.

I have a question for you - do you know many other British dog owners on LJ? I'm half thinking of starting a UK specific dog community, just for general dog talk and also a place for Brits to discuss dog food and rescue and all manner of other crazy things they don't have in the states. Thing is, I'm literally aware of only three UK dog owners on here, and two of them are you and me. Do you think there'd be much call for something like that?

I filter the enlargements and banks, but some of my spam is *so* weird that I think my automatic filtering blanches and turns pale with fear! I've tried all sorts of finetuning, but the more I filter, the more real email I end up losing. :-(

About the UK dogs community - dunno - I'm in the UK greyhounds community, there are a handful of folk on there, but it's not what you'd call busy, and I know that at least two of them are more active in off-LJ UK dog communities. I'd give it a go though.

I get lots of emails from a bank I do have an account with asking for my account details. Along with share ramping, meds, and dubious meds. Oh, and watches.
