There once was a woman

Today’s massmail joke is:

One day, long, long ago…….
there lived a woman who did not nag or bitch.

But this was a long time ago…….
and it was just that one day.

The End

Ham Toss - most useless site. On second thought, maybe not!

I spend massive amount of time on the Internet, partly due to my job. In that time, I have come across a wide array of websites. I have seen a lot of useless sites, but thanks to a recent mass mail email mistake by the insoshi.com project my email became available to a lot of people, and some of them turned out to be spammer. What a surprise there, right? Anyway, one of those assholes sent out this sites - hamtoss.com. Now I know I have seen the most useless site.

You know what? Thinking about it as I write this, this site is not useless. At least not for its creator(s). Its purpose is to collect emails for that spammer. It shows you, the casual surfer, a silly animation. You like, you think it is funny, and you fall in their trap - “wanna know when we toss something new?”. You read this, seemingly harmless, words and you provide your email address. Damn that’s genius.

I think I will use one of my SPAM trap emails to see how this turns out.

I very much dislike scrapers!

I just spend 15 minutes blocking splogs and scraper IPs for jutiagroup.com. It is a pain in the rear. I have to spend time sorting through comments, that are marked as SPAM, to make sure there aren’t any good ones. Almost always they are bad, and 99% of the time they are trackbacks from scraper sites, that steal content and place it on their ads bloated sites. Do they really believe that having a trackback link makes it OK to steal the content?

Ahh, it is so annoying!!! That is the problem when you have a real site that allows commenting. You have to deal with this kind of crap. This doesn’t happen as often on this site, though. But I had one last week on my post about Alerth Thingy, now that douche doesn’t have a Google Adsense account any more. I hate this loozers.

By the way, I ended up blocking freehostia all together from being able to read content on Jutia Group. There were a lot of trackabcks from blogs hosted by them this time around. So more no longer!

Love Poetry

I received these in an email from my friend. They are entries to a Washington Post competition asking for a two-line rhyme with the most romantic first line, but the least romantic second line:

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming,
That’s why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot,
This describes everything you’re not.

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you because I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other,
that is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl’s empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace.
But don’t take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes …
Damn, I’m good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe “Go to hell.”
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
