wham! bam! thank you... spam?

And so, we meet again, my friend.  Once more you have chosen to cross my path in the wondrous world that is the blogosphere.  No lessons learnt from our last encounter?  Apparently not. 

My, you are a stubborn little fellow, aren't you?  Always in hiding.  Always hiding behind the name...  Anonymous.  Yes, I'm talking 'bout you, Mr Anonymous Spam.  You keep coming back.  Again and again and again.  You're kind of like a bad case of the fleas.  They make topical treatments for that, you know.  I can put you in contact with my doctor, if you like.  A dab on the back of the neck, once a month, is all it takes.

It seems that every day, you leave me comments.  I keep finding those comments you leave in my spam folder.  I'm not overly surprised about that.  After all, your last name is Spam.  You're the only one of my pals who has their very own folder on Blogger.  Imagine that.  How does a cat get one of those?  Can you buy them?  Are they for sale?  Perhaps for lease?

I only ask because I've noticed you seem to be very interested in sales.  Lately you've been interested in selling me money.  Selling me money in the form of loans.  Weird, that, you know.  The concept of selling money.  I mean...  usin' money to buy money?  Hmmm...  What's even weirder is the concept of you selling money on my blog.  And yet...  you continue to try.  Sometimes once...  sometimes twice...  once even three times in one day!  That must have been quite a busy day for you, huh?

It appears that although the selling of money is your main line of business, you've also been dabbling in the sale of toys.  Now, there's nothing wrong with toys.  I have a number of them, myself.  I particularly like ones filled with the nip - 'cause I'm sort of addicted to the stuff, you know - but I love a good wand toy.  I've never owned a wand toy with feathers.  Word around the blogosphere is that wand toys with feathers are exceptionally fun.  Do you have any of those in stock?  I might just be interested in one of those.  But no...  probably not.  I don't believe you have any cat toys.  I don't know that you have any toys at all.  For all I know, you might not even be selling toys.  You might be usin' this whole toy business as a ruse or something like that.  But if you actually are sellin' toys and you wanna sell those toys on a cat's blog, let me give you a piece of advice.  Try sellin' toys for cats!  It's only logical.

Then there was that business 'bout the collagen. I don't know if you were tryin' to sell me a skin cream or somethin' to lower my cholesterol.  And there was mention made of rubber chickens.  Hmmm...  Let me explain a little something to you.  As a cat, my skin is covered by my fur.  No need for fancy schmancy skin creams here.  And although I do eat chicken...  it always comes out of a tin and it's never rubber. 

Just yesterday, you offered to write my posts for me.  Excuse me but...  I am Nerissa and this blog is the story of my life...  not yours!

Finally, there was that other comment.  The comment totally unrelated to toys and loans and the sellin' of stuff.  You know the one.  The comment, "So, what can all this mean?  Here is my site..."  Were you askin' me to explain to you the meaning of life or somethin'?  Or did you think that you were going to explain the meaning of life to me, on your site? 

Hmmm...  that's probably not gonna happen.  For two reasons, I should think.  Reason number one is that I'm a cat and we cats already understand the meaning of life.  After all...  we're cats. 

Reason number two is that I never go to your site.  Nope...  not ever...  nadda...  not a once.  I know better than to click on some unknown link.  Some unknown link, lurking on my blog, waitin' for some poor unsuspecting peep to accidentally click it.  That would be foolish and as a cat...  I don't do foolish.  I do naps.  I do nip.  Occasionally, I indulge in a little cream.  But foolish?  NEVER!

So in closing, I'm just gonna offer you a little advice that might save you some time.  I have no intention of allowin' you to post your anonymous links on my blog.  No intention at all.  I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

  3. MOL! You too? Didja get the one offering to give you a free pair of GLASSES? Do they not know of the incredibly keen eyesight we kitties have? (Although we must admit, we were tempted. After all, what other reason could our dinner be late than because the humans can't see well enough to read the time?)

  4. That is why I monitor all my comments before they are seen on my blog. Isn't it sad? Mr. Anonymous tries and tries to sell stuff but half the time it's either in a foreign language or doesn't make any sense! And why would a girl cat be interested in stuff like Viagra? First of all, I'm a cat. Second of all I'm a girl. Third of all, I'm fixed and don't really care about being a tarty cat in the first place. And naked women? SAVE ME! I get enough of that at home, and folks, it ain't pretty!
    Mr. Anonymous needs another job!

  14. We get spam as well, every blogger must. You've got to wonder how dumb they are. "We are a community of people in your area very interested in this topic - see my site payday loans" Like, we're going to let that through?

    Or there's one Mum keeps getting on her lupus blog "it seems all the people who comment on this site are brain-dead idiots" and Mum says, no, but you certainly are.

    And then there's the email SEO offers - we can pay people to spam other sites on our behalf!

    If only they all knew.... if they really wanted their links on my site, all they'd have to do was send me a little nip, maybe some cream.....

  22. Way to go, Nerissa! Well done and you speak for a lot of us and you really did a great job of it. Love your humor, too.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ah yes.....we must be ever vigilant......Mr. Anonymous Spam lurks everywhere and strikes terror in the heart of all bloggers! We just click DELETE and move on to the next REAL fan of One Spoiled Cat. It's annoying isn't it?!?!?!?!

  25. Wow! Most of spam is for HOT CHICKS! Now - even though me thinks hot chicks would be tasty, Mommy says they is not the kind of chicks that me wants. Oh yes and losing weight. Now me is naturally svelte and purrhaps a little under weight (like all good models) Mommy has excessive fluffiness and purrhaps should read those messages and visits their sites. And thene there is the SEO Spams. What the heck is a SEO and why would mes care about it?

  30. Spam is weird. I glad u told him to go away.

  31. Or you can just outright get rid of anonymous comments. I did. It also prevents trolls from commenting on your blog.
