I am lucky in that i have had very little spam come through the comment section of this blog, and so far, nothing that was auto-shifted to the spam folder was legitimate mail.
I do check out the spam folder though because i find it entertaining and here are the two highlights so far:
1) I’ll paraphrase – “God Bless Google for bringing me to this post, and thank you for writing it!”
Wow – awesome praise right? This was a comment for the post WordPress Weirdness – which is about some silly momentary glitch in WordPress. How desperate for fans do you have to be to receive a comment like this on a post like this and think “i am really reaching the people! See how moved this new reader is! Approve this and all future comments!!!”
2) I did not bother to translate this – but i got my first spam comment in Bulgarian!! I was at first thrilled because i do have Bulgarian friends and i can understand a fair amount of spoken Bulgarian and Google translate and i can read Bulgarian at a second grade level so i thought, “hey, maybe it is Vlad!?” – but then i looked at the address and it was just spam. But it was Bulgarian Spam and no one is gonna take that away from me anytime soon.
This post makes me smile. It is a great example of how much you appreciate the small things…. Now if you write a post about why traffic is swell I may beg to differ.
Traffic just is. The roadways swell with cars and that makes traffic. Being in traffic may swell your head, or your anger beans. But i am in your camp, traffic is not swell.
Leave early and carry good tunes (and water)!
