Seattlest Spam: Call Out GouWhatTha...?

Today we received what we thought was perhaps a sproingy email from a Seattlest reader trying to get us to be more excited about the Spring Equinox. It said:

Call out Gouranga be happy!
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga...
That which brings the highest happiness

Since the spam didn't come from 'dudleydoorogers' or 'brigittetomatopatch' it almost seemed potentially real, until of course we JFGed it. Gouranga is a Hare Krinshna word meaning "Be Happy" and this meme has been floating around for a few years. It is also apparently called out as an easter egg in Grand Theft Auto 2 when you run over a gaggle of Hare Krishna pedestrians. For what its worth, GTA2 apparently had it in for Elvis, too.
