"Discovered on flickr: you can design your own valid U. S. Postage! Unless this is an unusually elaborate hoax."

Not a hoax, but not new either--stamps.com has been doing it since May, having also completed a 7.5 week test run in 2004. Apparently even Amazon is doing it now--at least according to an insert in my last shipment from Amazon. But I don't have the insert with me at the moment, and I can't find info on it from Amazon's front page.

Edit: turns out the ad I got with my Amazon shipment was for stamps.com.

It was well past noon when she turned over in the warm pool of sunlight, turned over and stretched the full length of the bed, and it seemed to him - and he smiled at the realization - that she looked just like a cat, deliciously sleeping the whole day away, only to awaken at night to hunt.

You should fear the grimey masses who splatter words like giblets into your otherwise well sponged web log.

Well, it took a while, bidding on the best adult movies, but I took your advice and hope now to find a happy ending in the mail. Thanks, Dave.

"A hockey player near a garbage can lazily seeks a nation inside a squid."

No, no, not even close to a pangram. The spammer is missing f, j, m, v, w, and x. I propose the following instead:

"A quoits player near a garbage can lazily views a jackhammer inside a fox."

It's no The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, but it's not bad given the starting material, I think.

What is garbage? What is grimey masses? What is inside fox? It is of unclean smelling.

Underestimating the seriousness of being buried alive? Hmm, I think there's another version of Aida--by some Italian guy--you might like.

While perhaps not exactly horrific or disquieting, the final duet--"O terra, addio; addio, valle di pianti" ("O earth, farewell; farewell, vale of tears," but it sounds much better in Italian, don't you think?) is suitably tragic.

It's time for another round of Pangrammatize the spammer! This time I'll use spamtext I received myself rather than one of yours. I was rather fond of this sentence:

"The woman had cut off his foot with an axe and his thumb with an electric knife, and here she was with a pile of caviar big enough to choke a warthog."

But it's missing j, q, y, and z. Therefore, I propose:

"The woman had cut off his foot with an axe and his thumb with a quirky jigsaw, and here she was with a pile of caviar big enough to choke a zebra."

It has been two years now that Plurp has been in the Zone of Unpredictable Connectivity. Tell Steve his readers miss him.

Perhaps he'd like to hear it also from your sweet pen nib.
