Ah, Spam.

June 30th, 2008 Mandy View Comments

I was approving some comments to the blog today, and I noticed a few interesting spam posts. For all of you bloggers out there, I’m sure spam can be a huge hassle, but they can also be inadvertently hilarious too.

Here are a few titles of the best ones:

Are greyhounds allergic to amoxicillin.
Yes. They turn bright green with purple stripes. Watch out!

Private Jet
Are you offering?

Ibuprofen dosage dog
This is the greyhound that was trying to avoid the amoxicillin.

Rockabilly clothes
What we know the Queen wears when not in front of the cameras. She secretly enjoys listening to Hank Williams.

Meebo Hiccup

June 28th, 2008 Mandy View Comments

Sorry if I did not appear today for the chat. Meebo, which signs me in to Yahoo and AOL at the same time, was giving me problems. However, I want to thank everyone who came to chat yesterday and I hope we can resume our live discussions on Monday (June 30th).

Two posts had to be deleted. They seemed to be causing the blog to slow down, and because of that, the side bar’s categories disappeared as if they couldn’t load.

I think it was due to the images. One was the Queen at Ascot, and the other was Camilla during Trooping the Colo(u)r, and for some reason those were the culprits for the lag-time. Usually photos from PicApp.com are not like that.

I apologize for the inconvenience!

Thanks to my latest guest commentators from the International Listings blog, I have discovered the website of the Serbian royals. I’ve listed it in the “Sources” links. Oh, and if you have some time, visit August Annotations for the latest. The guest commentary from Andy Hagans and Brian Thibault is brilliant.

England or Bust

June 24th, 2008 Mandy View Comments

Our honeymoon destination is England, coming this autumn. I am so excited, and I hope to be able to get a lot of footage filmed on the trip to present to you all upon the return. If anyone has any comments or suggestions on how to get around, etc., let me know! :) All advice is appreciated.
