It's bad enough that last week I looked up and saw a huge black vulture perched above me in a tree; in Massachusetts, no less. Now I get this cryptic email that almost jarred my brain into a seizure. Like a Japanese kids' show but more sinister and weird, if that's possible. I know some of what happened. Random paragraphs of the English language find their way into email advertisements, to help get past "spam" filters. Fair enough. But how about something out of Faulkner, or the minutes from a meeting of the June, 1883 Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity (which really did exist). Shit, anything else, except a Bible verse, perhaps, would be fine. Naturally, it was a cheap drug/Viagra ad. Cheap drugs and boners. Anyway, here's the email:

Lord, I must say, this thing posted was way way over my head. I didn't even understand it in the least! Must have made you nuts! Was the picture in this email? The one you posted? As I started to read, talking of the vulture, I'm sorry, I laughed my ass off!!!
