Spambot of the day

Cryptic spambot:

disastrous recliner is the top among the top when it comes to conference choosing base

I think it scans much better as a poem:

disastrous recliner
is the top
among the top
when it comes
to conference choosing base

I was so taken with the mystery of this message from the ether that I Googled “disastrous recliner.” Lo and behold, I came up with this:

In the early models of lift recliners, the actual lifting mechanism was a contraption of heavy duty springs. These springs, once activated, lift the user up and out of the chair and would not stop until the entire chair was in the upright position.

Unfortunately…Depending upon one’s body weight, the catapulting action of spring loaded lift chairs could project the occupant up and away from the chair with potentially disastrous effects.

Be forewarned.

    Had a recliner such as that back in the day. I was fine but my very petite wife of the time would go into low earth orbit.

    This was the La-Z-Boy method of saying:

    :^P

    Funny stuff, Neo.

    Catapluting chairs are funny unless you’re the catapultee.

    I read the message and found it clearer than usual communication from my Client during furniture selection for his office…sorry, occupational hazard.

    Neo, I feel certain that the spambot is referring to this:

    For Neo, danceuse:

    Nureyev and Fonteyn in the famous pas de deux from Romeo and Juliet.

    Video quality is poor, but the choreography is so passionately expressive. . . . Reportedly, Fonteyn and Nureyev decided to have a [rare for ballet] actual kiss because they felt the dance was so passionate it demanded one.

    Prokofiev . . . ahhh.

Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon.
