Good Morning! I am back on the work schedule today and glad to be. I actually really enjoy my job and the people I work with. I have a lot of fun and love seeing the results of what we do together as a team. The additional time off this week was nice, but I am ready to get back at it. 😀
I have never understood why people spam. The comments are crazy and I just don’t get the point. Do these actually get through to blogs? Are there people who actually click on the links therefore creating some sort of “hit power” to the spammer?
Anyway… I love how WordPress snatches up all that spam and saves it for me to review without it ever touching my blog. I go through it once every couple of weeks just to make sure no real comment was caught in the spam trap… if so,I set it free. 😀
So yesterday I am cleaning the spam filter when a couple of spam just crack me up. I love it when they come right on the verge of making sense and then… they blow it. These two “comments” were on my interview with Laurel *waves Hi Laurel!* which I did back in June of 2009:
“Fantastic goods from you, man. Author Interview With Laurel-Rain Snow Book Journey I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just extremely magnificent. I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you are stating and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it wise. I cant wait to read far more from you. This is really a tremendous Author Interview With Laurel-Rain Snow Book Journey informations.”
“Fantastic goods from you, man. My Journey With Audio Books – and a GIVEAWAY for you! Book Journey I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just extremely excellent. I actually like what you’ve acquired here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it wise. I can’t wait to read much more from you. This is really a terrific My Journey With Audio Books – and a GIVEAWAY for you! Book Journey informations.”
My gosh this is great stuff for the ego… I mean really, extremely magnificent? *puffs chest up* 😛
Ok enough… I am out of here… enjoy your day! 😀
Book Journey 
I know what you mean. Every once in a while, I find one in my spam filter that almost makes sense.
I had to laugh Kathy – the comment was soooo cheesy 😀
Looks like someone’s been making use of wordpress code so that it extracts your post title in order to make it look more like a real comment. Sometimes it’s scary how spam can make you feel flattered!
Thats more than I knew on how it works Charlie – how interesting and why take the time or bother? I just delete…. they never get through to the blog… 😛
Then they have to ruin it by adding in all those awkward words and phrases like: “I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you are stating…”
Talking like a machine much?
Sometimes the spam comments have no connection at all to the post…like they could go on and on about a page like “Books Read in 2010.” Huh?
It is funny, isn’t it?
Thanks for waking me up with this stuff…..
LOL Laurel… I knew you would get a kick out of it… how funny to try to get through a post that is over two years old… like thats not a red flag to begin with! 😛
You are hilarious or should I say them, lol
Truly they are Marce 😛
Very strange, huh? Sort of like those emails from Nigeria.
LOL – Yes! 😀
OMG, yes!
I just realized I said the exact same thing in my reply as Sheila! Talk about weird….
😛
LOL! You’re right, spam is hilarious…when it doesn’t make it to your blog post! When it does, it’s annoyingly funny! My blog blocks spam too so I go check it once in a while.
I never had any get through Vicki – I don’t know if that is the beauty of WordPress or what but I also get them filtered through my email and get to check them. I just don’t understand the point… what do they get out of it?
You definitely do “keep it wise”. Lol. I got a really great spam e-mail yesterday and it was so funny I couldn’t delete it.
Most of it is pure disgust…. and some odd stuff if from furniture sites, or housewares… so odd…. 😀
You should post what yours was!
Too funny. I often get a chuckle out of them too. WordPress does a nice job collecting them up for me.
Yes – I am thankful they do not get to the blog… that would be annoying.
I like the lead in…”fantastic goods from you, man.” I was waiting for a “far out, man.”
Isnt that hilarious? Uhhh…. thank you MAN! 😛
Don’t you just love those?! I get some that seem credible until you get to the end and there’s a link to a sex video site (or some such) in parenthesis. How awful!
I was stopping by to say hi today because I’m so behind on visiting blogs! Trying to catch up. I’ve been so busy with my new horror blog launch and planning my read-a-thon. Ugh…why do I bite off more than I can chew! Boy, I can tell it’s been awhile since I’ve been by here because I didn’t know you had a gorgeous new blog design! I love it! 🙂
I hear you Michelle… I am working on Banned Book Week and a magazine review due the first week of October… hmmm…. stress much? 😛
Oh and thank you about the blog design… I did myself with a bit of patience and a whole lot of “I know what I want it to look like!” LOL
Hahahaha…the picture of my Spam! Now why didn’t I see THAT coming?! lol
LOL – I forgot to use it in the Postmistress review and then when I was writing this… it seemed appropriate 😀
Fantastic goods from you, man!
LOL! In my mind, I’m hearing the voice Anna Ferris uses in the trailer for her new movie (which looks awful, btw) where she sounds like Borat.
Hee hee…. yes, “goods for you man!” LOL
