OK, I was just sittin' here wonderin' why my visitation numbers seemed to be pretty impressive, whereas I wasn't gettin' hardly any comments and no one has sent a ping my way in a couple of days when I noticed one of them damn ad banners you see all the time that says: "Which one is Frodo? Answer correctly and get a FREE $50!" Well, like I am forkin' bored ponderin' all the possible answers as to why I ain't gettin' comments and pings, so I decided to see what happens if you picked the wrong one: I clicked on Gollum. Well, you still win, but you don't win any $50 ... you get a $50 gift certificate, not good at Walmart,* which likely has like all kinds of hoops you gotta jump through to actually qualify for the certificate, such as signin' up for 5¢ a minute long-distance service that includes a $.5.00 per call hidden service charge and agreein' to receive 12 free CDs upon your unknowin' agreement that you will buy 100 more at triple the Walmart price in the next 6 months and various other crud such as sellin' your soul to the Devil and your vote to John Kerry. I forkin' hate scams on the Internet. I ain't yet sure how I can sue the bastards under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in District Court in notClark County, Texas. But ya'll scammin' forkers just wait, 'cause I am gonna figure that out one of these days when I am really forkin' bored.
*This is important because if it ain't good at Walmart, then it don't save me crud anyway, 'cause I can't afford to drive anywhere where they have anywhere to shop but Walmart.**
**OK, we actually don't even have to drive to another town to shop at Dollar General, but I ain't never seen anyone givin' gift certificates for Dollar General.
Posted by notGeorge at March 9, 2004 06:36 PM | TrackBackYou know somethin', someone just commented on my blog about using that gosh darned F word. I think they wrote,
"I am totally apalled that anyone would even think of usin' the F word in any publically accessible form, even if done with humorous intent. That word is nasty. ;)"
gosh darnnit anyway, those spam lamers.
Posted by: Cindy at March 9, 2004 08:31 PMWell, to begin with, what kind of idiot does not know how to spell "appalled" and who the fuck could have ever been appalled by the use of such a lovely word, anyway? ;) *
*Damn the lack of proper smiley faces in these fuckin' comments.
Posted by: Tiger at March 9, 2004 08:40 PMI wouldn't label that person an idiot for the misspelling ... as I could easily sense the *excitement* generated over the use of the fucking word. [wink, wink]
