Spam Skillet Casserole Redux

A long time ago, back in April 2010, I wrote a quasi-ranty post on the erstwhile NatureBlogs on the subject of spam comments I received to my posts. Many folks amongst my co-bloggers at that time shared their experiences. After the move to Scilogs and the WordPress platform, the super-efficient spam filter manages to keep spam at bay with virtually zero false positives. It is, therefore, with a sense of nostalgia that I sometimes visit my Spam Comments folder in the WordPress Admin dashboard, and with a flick of a button – poof! – they are gone forever, consigned to whatever digital hell (or Phantom Zone) deleted spam comments are banished to. However, sometimes, they do have some gems amongst them, worth preserving for posterity because of their sheer surreal quality. Here are a few examples.

• Another factor is that when you are evaluating a great around the internet electronics store, appear for online stores that are frequently updated, preserving up-to-date with probably the most recent products, the leading deals, and also useful information on services and products.

Thanks for your important tips I’ve truly learned in the blog.

I’m nearing my goal bee pollen (I am now 5 kilos around my healthy bee pollen at age 18) and i know the final couple of pounds tend to be the most difficult to shed.

For some reason, right after a post on Monoclonal Antibody therapeutics, I received a host of spam comments with most articulate critiques of various TV shows or important fashion advice; such as –

• The premiere of Project Runway season 10 wastes no time with formalities. The episode opens amidst the chaos of New York City with Tim Gunn and the judges greeting an audience of thousands. The backstage footage of frantic designers tells us that this season packs a major punch. After all, Project Runway is celebrating a decade of designers and drama, so it only makes sense that they raise the bar for season 10.
• Created by The Simpsons’ Matt Groenig and David X. Cohen and originally developed for Fox, Comedy Central revived the series with four direct-to-DVD films between 2007 and 2009 and aired them as 16 episodes after its deal to air reruns on Adult Swim and Cartoon Network expired.
• These costumes, some for theater and some for opera, are glorious, elaborate, flamboyant, and one of a kind. Theatrical looks by Armani, Capucci, Alberta Ferretti, Fendi, Romeo Gigli, Valentino are on display in a Beverly Hills temporary space on 253 N. Beverly Drive, while the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, which produced the show, finishes construction. They’re all colorful, and all inform that these Italian fashion designs do in ready to wear.

But perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised at this. Most of my posts attract zero non-spam comments. The highest numbers of comments that I have gotten so far came after a 2010 post on the pseudoscience of water memory, and a 2011 post on the futility of homeopathy in treating hemorrhoids, most of them from dedicated aficionados of all manners of crazy kookery. That should say something of my blogging talents, shouldn’t it?
