Leg Hair – I Said Leg Hair!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

You’ll probably want to file this one under the ‘TOO MUCH INFORMATION’ tab, but I’m going to put it here anyway.  I’ve changed from single blade razors to double blade razors.  Time was, I could shave my legs and go without shaving for a day or too without having trees or porcupine needles hanging from my shins.  Now, I can’t even get the job done in the first place.  Forget about a hair loss cure, I need a hair cure.  Where’s the stuff that makes me go bald on my legs.  Or the electric shaver for ladies that actually works.  It’s nuts how I’e got to shave my legs but have to instruments to do so.  Should I just begin plucking and hope that works?

Can you smell my frustration?  It’s made worse by the fact that I can’t find cheap double blade razors that aren’t pink – like I really need a reminder that the only reason I’m doing this is because I’m a woman. (Insert bitter tirade here – oh wait I already did)

Welding Advice Interrupted

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

This comment is even better for advice:

“For aluminum welding, operators are required to ensure that the basic material clean and remove any impurities and alumina hydrocarbon cutting oils and….”

I want you to know that I did not add the “…”.  I guess they didn’t want to share all the information at once.  Maybe there will be a follow up comment that completes this one.  Maybe this is a cliffhanger comment and it won’t be completed until next season.  Maybe they don’t care about anyone or anything and want people to start welding something and then not have the info to finish the project.

Oh I’m being mean.  They probably thought they were on twitter and ran out of room.

Sexist Spam

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

My spammers offer this sage advice:

“One understands that our life is very expensive, but we need cash for different stuff and not every man earns enough money. Hence to get fast personal loans or just short term loan will be a correct way out.”

Of course the machine sending this doesn’t realize that it is being sexist and saying that men are stupid enough to get a payday loan.  I love how it is descriptive with what you could use it for – “stuff”.  I had a teacher who would freak out if you used that word.  ”STUFF — I’LL STUFF YOU IN A MOMENT!”, she would yell.  She had a thing against the word ‘it’ as well.

OOPS

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Hilarious!

I assumed that because I was getting new spam, the filter must have been taken down.

I was wrong – the mad mad blog spammers have just gotten past it.  Which explains the poor quality of spam post.  See, if they had spent more time on their punctuation and grammar and less on figuring out how to defeat my catcha, I would have nothing to write about.

We’re BACK!

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

My sweet webmaster has removed the filter on the spam and, sure enough, we’re getting it again. Ladies and gentlemen, I can’t describe the euphoria I’m feeling. I get to see the creme de la creme of spam coming through.

Sure there hasn’t been much yet, but I’ve got one for you:

“…

This publish may perhaps be pointed out on Twitter by someone. really?…”

The dot dot dots belong to the spam machine. Because there was a moment (right after it decided to comment and before it thought of something to type) in which it didn’t want me to think I was being ignored. Even though I wouldn’t have seen anything till it hit post because it wasn’t IMing me. But a machine can’t think as logically as I can, so it must be forgiven for this punctuation faux pas.

I’m more interested in the web address that is included – myfonduepot.com. I’m not going to be the one who gets burned by going there and finding out its a website about how good pot is after being dipped in cheese. So you, my dear readers, may go to the site and then let me know. Of course I’ll be forced to turn you in to the police for your freaky fetish – watching pot being dipped in cheese oh… so… slowly.

It’s probably a good thing no humans comment – I’d be really embarrassed to find out that someone actually does read this blog after I’ve just written that. Sure I’m laughing my but off, but I just created a fetish for people to have now – pot porn.

I’m throwing caution to the wind and reminding you that if you are a human and posting a comment, remember to use the password (artichoke) in your post so that I don’t trash you too.

Spam Comments Commeth

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Woo Hoo I’ve found a problem with the new comment security thing that means I get to go back to getting spam – I hope. If you post a comment, it is automatically approved. You can write whatever you want and I don’t have to clear it as long as you put in the catcha thing right. It’s gotta be easier to go through them before they’re posted, right? Oh sweet webmaster, make my wish for spam come true. I’ll do anything ;)

See, I told you it’ll let you post anything.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Hot Tub Time Machine was a very entertaining movie. So head into your backyard and fire up your hot tub. Chances are that it’s been a little while since you took a dip. If you don’t have one in your backyard, I’m sure a friend has one. Go for a visit. If you’re going to be spending so much free time over there in your friends hot tub, bring him a hot tub cover to keep the thing clean and secure.

Unimaginative Angy Automaton

Friday, May 28th, 2010

My least favorite kind of spam post is the kind that insults me AND doesn’t make sense. Here’s one like that:

“It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place”

This on a post about heating blankets! Who knew this would be such a controversial subject?! By the way, I didn’t spell ‘their’ wrong. Angry automaton spam machine did it. And they’ve sent me this post before.

Google Changes Logo?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

I read on the internet that Google revamped its search results and tweeked its logo. This was after I’d done a search on Google and not noticed a single thing. I then went to their blog to see exactly what they were talking about and I realized there was a difference in the setup of the result spage but I REALLY don’t see any difference in the logo. I realize I wear glasses, but if I’m wearing them and still can’t see any difference maybe there really isn’t one.

That’s my take anyway.

Bones Meets Salem

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

I just finished watching ‘Bones’ (intermittently if you include child distractions) and it was disjointed and annoying. Hodgins & Angela finally got married. I can’t believe it took this long. Bones & Booth have lost the tension in their relationship which was always so good and now Booth just seems desperate for even hanging around Bones.

Next week the Gravedigger is supposed to come back. That looks promising so I’ll be watching but I wonder how it will turn out. I’m hoping for a happy ending to the season but I fear there will be some sort of horrible cliffhanger that just turns everything on its head and just makes me angry.

I’m too grumpy and dour tonight. Cursed poopy diaper!!
