silly spam names

my friend jim over at [found.pale.org] has an occasional thread relating to amusing sender/from names that you encounter in spam; i’ve just received a selection of doosies:

From: “Turmerics B. Rubbernecking” <leasing@yesanother.com>
From: “Wrapping F. Sedan” <severity@notvoting.com>
From: “Pipit G. Compartmentalize” <expounds@did-the-earth-move.com>
From: “Entomb H. Legged” <accountably@englandcaptain.com>
From: “Hideousness P. Globes” <constrict@i-love-west-ham.com>
From: “Further G. Estimate” <prettier@super-grass.com>

    Not quite Python…

    Surprised to not see any character names derived from the Flying Circus – the scripts reveal the first employee in the “argument” sketch to have been “Mr Vibrating”, and there’s a whole lot more along those lines.

    Very few character names come out in Python when viewed or listened to, actually – the Gumbys, Ken Shabby, Mrs Nigger-Baiter (the political correctness being justified by the team on the grounds that she explodes), etc.

    Do virus writers have no sense of humour?

    The only one I’ve had that was good enough to warrant noting was: medicalchealsale ineligible backyard
