I [Heart] SPAM & [Spleen] Word Identification

I just want you to know
that I failed, yes failed,
a Word Identification Test
at someone's Comment Box.

Couldn't make out a "j" or "q" or something.

The extra typing is Raining on my Parade.
What is the Blog World coming to?
Suddenly, the connections all seem oh so pointless. :-(

And the only things I can really think about
include, but are not limited to:

The elephants in Kenya
which were being relocated
until the very first Bull
broke a Semi with his fat ass . . .

When I pass the orange and red BK establishment
on bridge street, I cringe and think of
the BTK killer--
so BK, to my mind, binds and kills cattle
to feed fat asses. Great . . .

The fricken London Zoo that has set up a "human exhibit"--
displaying, ehem, "athletically inclined" white people
who are scantily dressed (you know, the "humans");
yet the zoo keepers ironically
state that we are indeed a "plague" on our own ecosystem.
Well, ok, so some fat asses might be . . .

Hawaii, the only state Iknow of as yet,
is taking action
at the gas pumps by capping off fat ass prices . . .

and I believe that Gloria Steinem
should have ended her last sentence
concerning the Nature / Nurture debate
on NPR with, well, "Fat Ass
Space Ship Earth" . . .


and yes, what my thoughts are *really* circling around
is my own fat ass,
having eaten homemade BlackBerry Cobbler
for breakfast for the past 3 days in a row--
well,
what was I suppose to do?
I had a whole pie to myself . . .
I'm a threat to my own echo system.

Good, now I don't have to feel as bad about screwing up the word verification. If only the spammers weren't so out of control.
If you need to get rid of any of the blackberry cobbler, I will gladly take it off of your hands. Sounds fantastic.

funny how inconvenience so easily makes "connections" pointless...

Blackberry cobbler is not to be wasted - you did the right thing.

In the future, I'd be happy to help you out with future pies.

You can even send them COD, it's all good.

I actually asked a friend this morning, "Does drinking make you gain a lot of weight?" Not that I drink too much, I keep it under control, but I'm drinking more than I used to. And my ass is getting fat. It really bothers me!

Blackberry cobbler? Oh Yeah, I'd have been eating it every day for three days too. YUM!

I sense you have a thing about fat asses...not to worry...you'll find the majority of us do lol

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. Nice page you've got here :)

I'm right there with ya...I swore I wouldn't eat that damn key lime pie blizzard at Dairy Queen at lunch today.

It lasted about 20 minutes before I was scraping the bottom of the damn cup.

I think it's a crime to waste good blackberry cobbler...and besides, anything with fruit in it can't be all bad, right??? Right! :)

A nice hodge-podge; unfortunately I was trying very hard to not think about my own fat ass. (they TOLD me to eat ice cream!!)

I've failed the Word Identification Test more than once myself. Sadly, I will not be getting into the Blogging Academy this year.

It's the freakin' font. I can't read them either. Heck, I have problems commenting on my own blog these days.........

LOL. It is a commonly known fact that fruit causes all big butts..

*Pausing to consider whether anyone would care to hear a long and somewhat circular rant on the fact that word identification systems used by various blogger programs are not only an inconvience to visitors but also make sites inaccessible to handicapped users, a fact that has led at least one major site to the court room in a lawsuit, not that I know the outcome of it, although they probably settled out of court, and deciding in the end (did we remember the ultimate subject of this sentence is an unstated "I"?) that I should keep my mouth shut because my own site has... well, not a word identification system but certainly a verification system that is, let's admit it, biased against non-English speaking visitors who might not know primary colors. Pot, meet Kettle, sort of thing. And having considered that, I can only conclude I have nothing to say that wouldn't make me a hypocrite, so I'm going to go get the bag of M&Ms off the kitchen table and have dinner.*

For me, it was either add word verification or block comments altogether. I felt word verification was the lesser of two evils.

I like to blog and comment so well that the extra word verification thing doesn't really bother me much. However, I have missed typing it in correctly twice now!

No need to fear, I failed a word verification earlier myself. It's all in the preception. Is it a "w", or 2 "v"'s? Or is 2 "u"'s?

Anyhow, I am now craving blackbery cobbler and blackberry season is all over here. I guess it's time to make peach cobbler!

LOL on the comments box. I cant get my "q" and "g" straight, and something the font they use makes all the letters hard to read.

I just press the "login" button again to get a new set of letters.

Who are all these people that respond? How do they find you?

I heard Gloria too and I thought she should have ended saying, let's eat the children, after we've stuffed them with preservatives.

Is it wrong that I wasn't moved by her speech? I have lost understanding as to what writing is supposed to do. I wasn't moved. But I'm sure there was someone who was. The more I read, the less it changes me. I am unimpressed.

I believe we don't have a use for "believe." No, that's no it either.

I could out-eat you, no prob.

Would you respond to someone unimpressed?

I'm not a big fan of the word verification thing either, I can't seem to make up it out either most of the time. But I had more Spam than a week-long bad camping trip the other day.
Friggin Junk Mail is Everywhere!!!
