Spam

Sometimes I get random comments from people who come across my blog. Some are friends of friends, but most find my blog through google alerts they setup for keywords. This happened when I posted about P90X and yesterday when I posted about tee-shirts. I received this comment:

"It is happened some time when we cannot able to decide what we have to do even sometime we lost our good thing and keep those things that are not too good i think this is same happened to you."

Doesn't this remind you of DOL in middle school? Where you get the grammatically incorrect sentence and change it around to make it grammatically correct. So, here is what I think he meant to say:

"It happens sometimes, that we cannot decide what we have to do. Sometimes we lose our good things and keep those things that are not very good. I think this is what happened to you."

I don't even think I did that 100% correct....but I was trying to stay true to the original voice. So here are some things to point out.

1. Even though he/she spammed me, he read my blog and made a (sincere?) comment about what was going on.

2. He spammed me twice, because the first time, he forgot the whole reason for spamming...adding a link to your own page.

3. Ironically, his site sells t-shirts but the blog was about getting rid of t-shirts. Maybe he thought I would need to replenish the dwindling stock.

In any case, I don't get many comments....so even the spammers get to go up! And they provide entertaining fodder for future blogs.
