SPAM FRITTERS – they actually look pretty good, don’t they?
Just one more week until the rest of the major household repairs begin! Woo-hoo! But meanwhile, I must deal with the cream of this month’s crop of spam comments:
***
Sometimes a spam comment is only amusing because of the post it’s written on. This one was attached to my post, The Important Room, which dealt with toilet paper:
Comment:
“At this time I am going away to do my breakfast, afterward having my breakfast coming again to read more news.”
Response:
Enjoy your breakfast. You can get back to spamming more quickly if you avoid the prunes. Just sayin’

This one was also posted on The Important Room:
Comment:
“therefore i dont think this shit works.”
Response:
I’m certainly sorry to hear that. You should maybe try prunes. Hope you feel better real soon.

Comment:
“Hi my family member! I wish to say that this post is awesome, nice written and include almost all important infos. I would like to look extra posts like this .”
Response:
I haven’t a clue who you are or where you live, but after such a nice comment (especially after the two above), you may now truly consider yourself family. Just don’t ask me for money or a place to stay.

Comment:
“Although actual damage is an elective protection, it’s necessary if you provide pizzas since your automobile is important for money.”
Response:
I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean, but as much as I’d like to, I simply cannot afford to provide pizzas to all my readers (’cause, yay, there are too many now!), even if I sell my car.

Comment:
“I do believe filter is unavoidable, my full household as well because so many of the I meet and smokes marijuana.”
Response:
I do believe you does smokes marijuana. Now that you’ve publically admitted to drug use, you may want to do something about it.

This was written on one of my Spam-Bam posts:
Comment (excerpt):
“I think that what you said made a bunch of sense.
However, what about this? suppose you composed a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a title that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean [Spam-Bam Thank You Ma’am] is kinda boring.”
Response:
I dunno. I think Spam-Bam Thank You Ma’am is a pretty catchy title, and most of my readers agreed with me when I asked them. I wanted to call it Snarks ‘R Us, but Spam-Bam won out. Deal with it.

There were more amusing spam comments than I could use for this month’s post. I’ll save them for July – join me then!
(As usual, apologies to the appropriate commenter if any of the foregoing weren’t, in fact, spam. I realize that some comments suffer in translation, and I try to take that into account when determining what is spam and what is legitimate.)

It’s nice of you to provide pizza. I like pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, onions and bacon. I don’t need all of them on the same pie, but bacon, don’t forget the bacon.

Ah, you didn’t read that carefully enough. I have no money for pizza at the moment. Maybe later in the summer. (And yes, definitely bacon.)

These days, I get SO much spam (fortunately, mostly caught before it lands in my comments), I just scan them to make sure there are no legit comments in there. When the daily number started to exceed 200, I stopped laughing. I don’t understand why these people DO this. Are they selling something? Have they nothing better to do with their time?

I don’t understand why, either, especially since it must take a fair amount of work to put those comments on so many blogs.

I’ll be happy to join you. Are you coming apart at the seams? 😉

No, not overwhelmed yet, but if you have some comments you’d like to share (and respond to), you can send your contribution by email and I’ll include it next month.

I think your title is spiffy, CM. Now I’m still trying to get over the fact that nobody around here calls them headlines.
LikeLike
Ha! I’ve never had a headline, or a by-line, and never seen my work in print (online doesn’t really count). Maybe some day.

Online certainly does count, CM. It’s poised to be the only delivery system, I’d say, sadly.

You may be right. I don’t know of too many people who read actual papers any more, and print books seem to be losing ground as well. But there’s just something so much more exciting about seeing your own written words in typeset.

I agree. Maybe they’ll hold on forever. I hope so, CM. But this way is so more financially feasible.
