    Brokeback Mountain? More like Brokeback Keyboard, amirite? EH??

    But seriously, I do believe that’s a 768-bit Lutefisk encryption, which I happen to be an expert in. Running it through my extra-heavy-duty Crypto-nom decryption algorithm, which I have running on strong coffee for extra processing cycles, I’m coming up with this:

    Pablum,

    Rememeber that night in Lichtenstein? You bought us both nice pub food and some fine ale and you said, “Stew,” you said, “Stew, I feel like I’ve known you all my life, and I would like you to do me the honor of being a part of me for the rest of my life.” But just before I could answer someone kicked in the door of the pub and started shooting randomly at light fixtures. Everybody scattered and we got separated. We never managed to meet back up, Pablum, and I miss you, because I really need to know: Were you talking to me or the food?

    I am enclosing the last picture that was taken of us in the hopes that you remember.

    Love always, Stew.

    Now, the names may not be quite correct — my algorithm has problems with arbitrary letter combinations, but I’m pretty sure it’s all quite accurate.

      I’m pretty sure that’s just a coincidence — although I do see the name “Lewok Wewkr,” who was an obscure sculptor that preferred to work in the medium of broccoli. All he ever really sculpted were trees, though.

      Adores: 8
      • 2010 November 26

        My favorite is the one where he melted the velveeta over the broccoli to represent volcanic inhumanity towards trees. Then, when he ate the installment, that was magic.

However, her head wanted to explode, so instead she dabbled on the Internet and ate chicken fingers and watched things like Dollhouse and Stardust.
        And now she wants to play with legos.

    Welcome, Everyone, to Dream Cathers Ranch. Your cabins are up that lovely trail through the pines, and are furnished with all the comforts of home: a fireplace for cooking and heating, an outhouse, and your own vermin infestation for entertainment. We will expect you down at the barn at 7 AM every morning, rain or shine, to help muck out the stalls and brush down the hoof stock. Watch your backs with Cletus, don’t let him trap you in the loose box.

      In German, “c” is a sibilant, and ‘s’ or ‘z’ sort of sound; “th” is dentilated into a “t” sound (Ludwig von’s name is BAY Toe fen in German).

      That makes “cather” Seh TEAR is we use German, which is rather close to “satyr” and the implications of Rancho Satyr with the photo the spambot* included, wander, well, off the reservation . . .

    I think I may have started breaking the code here. I’ve run this sad little story through translationparty.com and it tells an entirely different story than dream catheters.

    The first part “K.SDJHFASKLDSDLSDKL/ SFDSLKDJFL’slasfdjngfnl/wk;ejfl”

    actually translated to this:
    “The k – SDJHFASKLDSDLSDKL / SFDSLKDJFL’slasfdjngfnl / week; ejfl”. Not much change so that must be close to what they meant.

    Now the second part “/wdl/sdfjhepolasdjnfSDJFPPSJODP:alSKF:”aldkskd;ksd;lsdlskd”{?”PU( aw[kt{kpqL:”skS;P[kepw lewokwewkr” this is actually really meaningful…. It comes off as:

    “/ Wdl / sdfjhepolasdjnfSDJFPPSJODP: alSKF: “aldkskd; The KSD; lsdlskd” {? “You you please refer to the No (click to give your violation, your choices kpqL either side of one of his free time, PU was AW I:” – SKS is The car, P wave of lewokwewkr kepw suggested that the”

    You see? It does contain secret embedded psycho-messages. “Click to give your violation” seems somewhat suggestive.

    The last bit “[Qrewt} “{Week” 4epkew -]] ewl] f the [oe58e5225e8e645456 65″ comes out mostly the same so its some phone number I think.

    There is another theory though. Putting the last two lines in together come up with this highly suggestive bit of literature:

    The SKS carbine carbine weak {car, “4epkew {kpqL” Kabinbinbin is, lewokwewkr [Search] button [P bottle, [Yes] selected, [OK] and then click Yes, and then click Yes ] Even click OK], [yes] Please click thanks: Well, please click.

    I leave it up to the readers to decide on how they wish to interpret the wisdom contained in the last two lines.

        Hmmm Maybe Typo created the ad on Craigslist? This seems all too clear now…

    Of all the times to not hit any red lights on the way home. I followed a Ford F-150 that had an American flag and a decal that said “Bees”. I tried so hard to get a picture.

      Hey, maybe that guy did sell his truck after all! Or maybe the bees were driving. Was there a little triangular caution sign in the rear window that said “Larvae on board”?

      One turn of the handle and you enter in
      To a long forgotten world within
      Dusted mementos of the past
      Presenting a stark contrast

      There was once life within this room
      Now a cold and empty tomb
      A picture of the one hangs on the wall
      Begging eyes say it all

      A watchful keeper of once finer things
      She hangs there by her wired string
      Surveying all that once was right
      Ever present day and night

      She sees what she has left behind
      She’d like to have the time to rewind
      Back to where the dried rose lived
      A single symbol of her love to give

      Sorry, I got roped into shopping. I’m trying to clear the popstar Christmas tunes from my head by sticking it in the toilet and flushing. If that doesn’t work, I’m Googling Christmas lyrics as misheard by kids.

          Don’t know about the corn, but Santa has the rice:
          He’s making a list,
          of chicken and rice.

          Here’s an appropriate Christmas mondegreen for this group:
          Get dressed ye merry gentleman,
          let nothing through this hay.
          Remember Christ our saviour was bored on this one day.

          And another part of my earlier song:
          And Kevin and Rachael sing!
