“The Doors of his Face, the Lamps of his Mouth” by Roger Zelazny has been described as “all speed and adven­ture” by Theodore Stur­geon, and indeed it is one of the most excit­ing adven­ture tales SF has pro­duced. Let me change one word in every gram­mat­i­cal unit of every sen­tence, replac­ing it with a word that “means more or less the same thing” and I can dimin­ish the excite­ment by half and expunge every trace of wit. Let me change one word and add one word, and I can make it so dull as to be prac­ti­cally unread­able. Yet a para­graph syn­op­sis of the “con­tent” will be the same.

Bonus points for the Theodore Stur­geon connection.

Here is a sam­ple of some of the recent com­ments sub­mit­ted to me at Mr. Miata National Headquarters:

Hey there, You have per­formed an incred­i­ble job. I’ll def­i­nitely digg it and in my opin­ion rec­om­mend to my friends. I’m con­fi­dent they’ll be ben­e­fited from this web­site. — video porno

Today was the Valve Store’s annual Fun Day and unlike last year the line at the photo booth was very short, so Donna and I had our pic­ture taken…

This email made it through the first line of Spam Defense at work, Pos­tini, but got caught in the sec­ond line, Outlook’s Spam Filter.

At first I instantly clas­si­fied it as spam because it con­tained a ran­dom and uncon­nected group of ASCO & Emer­son employ­ees and the dif­fer­ent email addresses of the sender and the one they wanted a reply to. But then the sender’s email address URL caught my eye, lateforbreakfast.com, it intrigued me. So I opened a browser and entered the URL into the address line and hit enter. What could happen?

Turns out Late for Break­fast is the name of an Aus­tralian Pop/Jazz group and their web page is quirky enough to make me read the whole thing and even lis­ten to a cou­ple of their tunes. The music is not bad actu­ally, kind of reminded me of Steely Dan.

So, what do you think?
Spam — just some­thing to get me to reply to the gmail address to ver­ify that mine was a valid address or some sort of mon­e­tary scam.
Mar­ket­ing ploy — know­ing the type of per­son who would be curi­ous about the URL would aslo be the type that would enjoy that style of music.
