The random ones are probably used as hostnames for random test servers or for rdns for vpns and irc related stuff. I used to have a short one (forget what it was) that I used for a vpn. Was like nyc.ny.qt9.in or something random for the hostname. Only got it because whatever registar it was had a sale on .in's at the time.
i think its just mainly because it comes across as cool to have something that is cryptic.. like "l33t" or something along them lines, or i may be totally wrong. who knows

Well,
I sold some nice - pronounceable domains for low price, because no buyers interested in.
Then I sold some strange - unpronounceable domains for high price $$$ to $,$$$ because the buyers were interested in.
Domain is just like a girl, you like it, but others not. Maybe you hate it, but others love it.

LOL i love that analogy about the girl and domain xD
True:
Cheap to pickup, but expensive to keep renewing.
Squatters will steal the good ones if you're not vigilant.

Probably because they are fun and even if they are meaningless as they are short they are easy to remember.
lol
