LOL Spam

Before I empty my spam on WordPress, I thought I’d highlight some of the more entertaining entries.

The author of 7and1.net has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: All light beers are awful Thanks for the info.

I wasn’t arguing anything but thanks! Also, beer in general is awful. ;)

Since making his octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 14, the San Diego-based fighter has alternated between wins and losses in four octagon appearances.

Octagon, yea!

I linke this post!!!!

I linke you, too?!?!

Holy smokes, good read, Man. I just happened to be on your site after a recommendation from Adam . Looks like I was here just in time to grab hold of this great post. That?s a lot of powerful stuff you?re sharing here.

I?ve read $47

Must be powerful if Adam is spreading the word. Maybe Eve isn’t quite so fond of my blog? Also, reading money sounds like a hobby I could really enjoy!

Leave Me Alone

Despite my isolation from friends and family, I am inundated with requests and queries and messages. My inbox, answering machine and mailbox never stay empty. If anything, I have developed a very clear stance on spam: I hate it.

I have resorted to letting the machine pick up every call and I’m sure Ryan doesn’t appreciate it but I am sick of taking calls that want something (I tell you, you donate once and they won’t leave you alone. They’re like stray cats!) or for people who don’t live here, never have and no, I don’t know them, thank you very much. I am not Nadia, Melissa or Erica and the Ryan you want is not my husband so stop calling! These people must be going through the phone book and calling everyone with the same last name as we have which is ridiculous. I mean, our last name is in the top 20 in the entire country so that tactic is absurd to begin with. For reference, there are over 10 pages of Martinezes in the phone book.

Car insurance companies down here are also really good at making their ads seem like real mail. They’re vague enough that you have to open them, just in case it’s something you’ll regret tossing. I get those kind of letters at least once a week. Think of the trees, people!

In fact the calls and mail make me happy Thunderbird does so well with fielding spam and that my computer doesn’t “ring” every time I get a knew message. I’d have to kill myself then. I already hate the sound of our phone which also has an insanely loud ringer even on low. I’d hate to hate my computer.

In summary: gtfo spammers.

OMG Guys!

I got a comment from “Xanax.” How awesome that not only did the medication take time out of its busy schedule to send me a message but that it can type at all!

Dear Spammers,

Cut it the fuck out. Or I’ll cut you.

Sincerely,

Me

The End of An Era

Because of endless spam I receive through forms on the site, I am doing away with unnecessary ones. You’ll notice right away the lack of the “Ask Me” form on the blog. I think I hung onto that trend far too long. I’ve always removed the content submission page which was, sadly, covered in dust.

I can already hear the gears grinding more smoothly.

Advertising?

Blogger has let through a lot of spam in the comments lately. It’s a shame. The spammers seems to have decided that e-mail alone isn’t good enough so they’re leaving comments as well. One such comment, which may have been legitimate was regarding blog sponsorship (IE blog advertisement). While I have been investigating different services for blog sponsorship, it is not my intent to use these services in this, my personal blog.

However, with that said, you may notice some Amazon links here and there. I have previously linked to Amazon detail pages for items I have reviewed or discussed and I have simply began using the Amazon Associates program for the links I have and will post. The only major change you will notice, most likely, is a product preview when you mouse over the links.

Rest assured that you can keep avoiding my blog only because you don’t like it and not because I use ads. -w-
