Assuming "Bryon" isn't a real person, this *may* be a way of priming a
spamfilter so that it will let the real spam through later. I've seen
this done occasionally.  No idea about effectiveness, though, unless
it's a really weak spamfilter. Modern spamfilters wouldn't be fooled by
such a rudimentary tactic.
