I keep delaying the upgrade to my Movable Type application, which means that I have to remove manually the comment and trackback spam that comes in through the normal course of bloglife. I have gotten used to this daily chore and I don't really mind it, so you might say I have become accustomed to a certain mix of spam types and spam publishers on my screen every day.

Which is what made today's difference so startling.

Here is a representative sample of the trackback spam keywords that appeared today:

association of vineyard churches
buy viagra
mt lebanon baptist
cheap phentermine
baptist information
nipple chains
emmanuel baptist church
buy cialis
evangelical council for financial accountability
online gambling
evangelical lutheran
tramadol
apostolic churches
exotic piercing
texas holdem

I have never received church spam before. Don't you think that there are some very intriguing synergies going on there?

Wouldn't it be fun to write a Dr. Seuss story incorporating all of those keywords? And these are only the ones that I could bring myself to allow to be associated on the search engines, however tenuously, with my blog postings, if you know what I mean.
