I've removed the spam-related URL and put an asterisk where it used to be. But the rest of the message is comedy gold.

I want to appropriate "ammunition libido demurring" for something.

Wow...are all those random words just an attempt to defeat spam filters by having more non-spam words than spam words?
I don't even know what some of these words are... celandine, equalet, lemma, demurring?

Celandines are flowers like poppies, as I found out from Wikipedia after reading this message. (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_celandine ) Lemma usually means a part of a mathematical proof, but has a few other meanings too (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma ) .
"Demurring" is the gerund of "demur", which means something like "drop opposition to", with the connotation that it's a relatively benign disagreement (e.g., "Stephen responded that his father was not indeed a cheese salesman, and Linda demurred.") And that's "epaulet", not "equalet", which means a military shoulder ornament used to denote rank (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaulette ).
All pr0nspam should be this educational.

Also, "Willie Sicilian" totally needs to become a character in some movie or another. That is all.

I knew "epaulet", "demurring", and had some idea about "lemma". "Celandine" just kicked the crap out of me though.

Yep. Since most people are utilizing Bayesian spam filters, a lot of spam use Bayesian poisoning to try to throw them off:

According to that article, a lot of those words aren't random - they're probably words calculated to sound high-toned or unlike spam. "Lemma" seems a bit hard to fit into a porn-related context, for instance. So does "celandine".
