Me, Me, MeI normaly go about clearing spam comments out of my photoblog (Why? Why there?) in an irritated fashion, but today, I quite enjoyed it!
Some 0nline D8ing service hit me with about thirty comments, and this time I actually read them as I was clearing them with MT Blacklist. Instead of the usual one-liner about the product, some creative spammer used clever-slash-pithy quotes, some of which I had not heard, and actually wanted to steal. I think one may even work as a book title!

You are the pioneer type and hold most people in contempt. You are quick tempered, impatient, and scornful of advice. You are not very nice.One nice thing about egotists: they don’t talk about other people.
Of course it’s the murder weapon. Who would frame someone with a fake?

And, my personal favorite:
Buzz off, Banana Nose; Relieve mine eyes
Of hateful soreness, purge mine ears of corn;
Less dear than army ants in apple pies
Art thou, old prune-face, with thy chestnuts worn,
Dropt from thy peeling lips like lousy fruit;
Like honeybees upon the perfum’d rose
They suck, and like the double-breasted suit
Are out of date; therefore, Banana Nose,
Go fly a kite, thy welcome’s overstayed;
And stem the produce of thy waspish wits:
Thy logick, like thy locks, is disarrayed;
Thy cheer, like thy complexion, is the pits.
Be off, I say; go bug somebody new,
Scram, beat it, get thee hence, and nuts to you.
