Stephen Colbert used the cut-up method on Wednesday's show to come up with a new name for the war. He had a kid pull pieces of paper out of a hat. The result was: "Freemerican Victernity Made in China." (The last part of the phrase he said must have been the hat tag.) It might have been all staged, but it was funny nonetheless.

That is the oddest sales pitch I have ever heard.

This one's not so poetic, but it sounds downright insightful: Nothing external to you has any power over you. To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare. The usefulness of madmen is famous: they demonstrate society's logic flagrantly carried out down to its last scrimshaw scrap. Castles in the air - -they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build as well. I have heard people eat most heartily of another man's meat, that is, what they do not pay for. What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone? Such is the human race. Often it does seem such a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat. Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room. Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character. The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away. Live so that you can at least get the benefit of the doubt. Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. Corpses are more fit to be thrown out than is dung.

We should launch a SPAM poetry competition. Everyone find the best spam text they can find and put it in a central place. A

Spam software as the prototype for electronic poets? I love this world. It would actually be interesting to get ahold of one of those programs - fed the right phrases, it could produce some pretty rich stuff.

I need to read Burroughs. I get spam's like this every so often and trade them with friends because of the reasons you mentioned as well.

We were talking before about how Burroughs influenced Gibson. Then I noticed this spam in my inbox that is a perfect example of the cut-up method at work -- it's like computer-generated cyberpoetry that covers current events, the fleeting nature of celebrity, and even a Burroughs-ian ending with a dash of self-depreciating homoerotic sexuality! There are also some great Joycian invented hybrid words and misspellings that create double meanings. Even the title is rife with meaning and humor!
