cogitus interrrruptus

just yesterday i was ruminating on whether i needed SPAM protection on this blog and i thought, nah, i doubt it would attract that kind of attention. after all, i've been blogging since i first decided to truly pursue writing as a career (see skinnyblogcladdink version 1.0 over on the Friendster network) and i've never had that problem.

of course, i've never had people commenting on my blog before (here and in version 1.0). and not in the volumes that have been trafficking through this site a few days ago.

when i opened my mail this morning, my first response to all the "anonymous" comments on ver 2.0 was "hmm. creepy."

then i clicked on a link.

i had hoped i wouldn't have to turn the text verification thingy on... it can be fun trying to figure out the letters, but the scrolling can be annoying... (yes. i'm THAT lazy.)

but, alas, Earth, Inc. has come a-knocking.

back to cogitus.

eff word verification!! (i know, i always cuss aloud, but this ain't me place to do that.)

you have arrived, dude. the robots have found you.

and the word-verification code for this comment is: kjeim.

Mebbe it's because you've been getting a lot of traffic?

And the game with word verification is to give the given word a meaning. For example:

gcoii-- a new type of bulate (yarks!)

skinnyblackcladdink said...

bc: that's what i said. about the traffic

oh. so it's not a new game?

zrutsu - speaks for itself

Hehe yep. I'm just an echo here.
;-)

Though the whole debate thing I think started from here and we're getting a lot of spillage. Naks man, you rabble-rouser you.

And yeah, saw this come out when they put out the word verification program.

echo here.

uihat - a rare form of garment, never seen in public, the mention of which is generally considered rude in most social circles.

see also "netherwear"

Don said...

LOL

mine is zxtea

obviously it's a tea you drink before...you know what.

Blagador said...

oh no, netherwear again?!

which dovetails nicely with my word-verification thing: bezsx.

in a sentence: every time you take off your uihat, you expect to have the bezsx ever.

skinnyblackcladdink said...

haha good one paul.

gee. having word verification isn't so bad after all...

Yvekce - the bervlekian starlet-slash-model commonly thought to give the bezsx ever.

dito naman ako manggugulo. heh.

sali ako but i'll play by my own rulez. i used to make my students do this to test their grammar: write a sentence where the first letter of each word corresponds these random letters, in this order. something like this:

ndnoy - no, don't nibble on yasmin.

ok back to work for me.
