As you might imagine, we here at Gimme Noise find ourselves in a constant deluge of email traffic. And while the vast majority of those emails contain detailed instructions on exactly what we can do with, say, our review of the last Motley Crue concert (thanks for the helpful tips, gang!), there is another type of email, afloat on seas of flaming, trolling, and racial slur. It doesn't pop up all that often, but its appearance always makes the day worthwhile.

Of course we mean spam. And because we tirelessly read every missive that crosses our inbox (it's in our contracts), we've uncovered a curious property in modern day spam. As computers near sentience, the junk mail they produce seems to be drawing ever closer to the stream of consciousness form that literary master James Joyce pioneered in works like Finnegans Wake and Ulysses. That got our gears turning, and in a few short hours, we knew what to do.

So adjust those bifocals, gang, click the jump below, and get ready to play Gimme Noise's "Spam or James Joyce!"
