My New Readers, "Susan", "Sarah", "Alice" And Spam.  

Posted by kw in , , , ,

In a miraculous world, some events are beyond comprehension.  Nano-technology, the popularity of grave "blankets", Taco Bell and tea-cup dog breeds.  That said, I have recently been gob-smacked by some new reader's comments.  Why?  Because even though they are from "Sarah" or "Susan", they say exactly the same thing!  How freaky is that?  Here's a comment from, um, "Sarah":

 I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

"Sarah";  (link to product I'd never buy).


OK, now here's one from her psychic twin, "Susan":

 I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

"Susan";  (link to product I'd never buy).


Now, I don't want you to get "Susan" confused with Susan, who is a really lovely woman, a talented writer and has probably never eaten Spam before in her life, unlike my new, thin fan "Alice".  "Alice" took the time to let me know that she'd lost some weight, in the comments area after I gave out the Arte Y Pico Awards:

I lost 13 lbs in only two weeks by obeying this one easy rule
http://www.You think I'm going to let you know what the silly cow linked?

....(Other comments omitted for the sake of time), so I replied:

ALICE~

I'm very happy to hear of your loss. Did that include part of your brain?

I'm just curious, because you shared about your diminished size in my comment forum, where the post had been about awards.

I think your weight loss was probably due to a diet consisting completely of SPAM.

....(Other comments omitted for the sake of time), so again, I give you "Alice":

I lost 13 lbs in only two weeks by obeying this one easy rule
http://www.I'm not going to give you the bloody link!

ALICE~

Alright already. You really need to stay away from those cans of Spam. You are clearly suffering from acute Spamaholia. You can't see the signs, but honey, we can

You are repetitive, self-absorbed and quite honestly, a tad rude. So, here's the deal. I'm going to delete any more comments that you post.

After all, it's not like you are saying anything new.
 
 So, I guess I'm going to have to start moderating the comments.  Not because anyone writes anything hateful or malevolent.  But because evil breeds well in the banal.  So it may take time for your comments to appear, as I'm not always on top of things.  If you wish to register a complaint, stop by Alice's Spam Diner.

SUSAN~

I'm going to sleep now, with that Spam song in my head!

All love to you and Holly. I wonder if she'd like a Spam snack. I seem to have some extra!

LOL! Too funny.

All I can say is you BlogSpot crowd really need to migrate to WordPress - I mean... they have this lovely thing called Akismet which does all the hard work of weeding out spam for you... behind the scenes! ;)

SVASTI~

Trust me, I'm about to make the move. WordPress pages seem to load faster, which with the amount of crap I stuff on a page, is no mean feat.

I just so (heart) my template, which is from a Blogger platform. I guess I need to look at some WordPress templates, to see what's out there.

I should mention that when I started in April, I only knew how to email, so I've been teaching myself through trial and error.

It must of taken twenty uploads of the template, before I somehow found out how to get the XML out of the zip-drive, whatever the heck that means!

I like the concept that Spamaholics mean that I'm getting noticed, but I have been on the receiving end for a long time, in my email accounts.

I don't have any credit cards, so I don't know how I end up with the crap. One recent one, was from a guy claiming he was a Marine in Iraq. Third Battalion, Third Marines.

Well, this was offensive, so I found the site of the Third Marines, and forwarded it. They are now looking into it, with their legal department.

In the meantime, "Susan" and "Alice" have sites that resemble the absolute worst of commercial fishing: Enormous nets are trawled, bringing in every form of marine life, no pun intended.

There is eco-damage on every level. A smaller company will fish only for the desired catch, understanding about the need to protect the environment.

Wow. That may have been a bit much. Think I'll go and make a Spamwhich! Oh and sweetie, it took me AGES to hand out the award. Take your time and do it right!

I've got you beat. Xanax itself has been posting comments on my blog. No, I'm not hallucinating. Xanax comments on blogs! Amazing huh?
I am so loving my Akismet despaminator these days. hehe
I'll make a note not to tell you in comments how much weight I've lost, too.

IMMI~

I am impressed. I've always looked up to you and your blog. But now I see yet another reason.

My Spamaholics are the female version of Tom, Dick and Harry and soooo pedestrian. But you? You have an actual, real, live medication commenting?

That's not Spam, that's Scrapple!

You can throw your weight around here anytime you like!
