well it's about goddamn time you freakish leftys opened up these comments to real americians

Oh look, our first spam! How cute!

I would think any real American would know how to spell "American" correctly.

No, you misunderstand. That's not a mispelling or typo... he comes from Americia, a magical land of make believe.

One advantage to opening up the comments: I'm actually able to write a comment from work. TypeKey is currently blocked (which I presume is to keep me from blogging about not being able to comment...).

listen you pinko commies..I got your emo blog-a-sphere right here..*grabs crotch*..that other sinatra was a fake...a sham..and an erudite misanthrope...what ever the hell that means..I dont know and I said it..god I'm good...ahh...*sit's back, wing tips on the desktop once again basking in the pleasures of anonymity*..anyone got a light for my stogie?

Wow, this is like old times. Actually, the spam I was referring to is not trolls so much as the WIN BIG TEXAS HOLDEM!!!! kind.

Is this an inappropriate time to run the gauntlet?

who you calling "troll" you khobold

It's "Kobold," you non-D&D playing troll troll. 1/2 HD, pointy stick-weilding trash mobs that sound a lot like Murlocs.

Earn money from home, lose 20 pounds, maintain an erection, all while playing Texas Hold 'Em at www.jimstauberisatool.com

Is that what you meant when you asked for Spam?

No, Chris, I think he must have meant something like:

"Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!"

I'm sure that's what he meant.

But I don't like Spam.

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
'Cause it's effective, it's defective
it creates household odors
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection
it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon, no obligation
no salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot, jackpot, jackpot
prizes, prizes, prizes, all work guaranteed

Wheeeeeeee! Open comments! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Hi all,

I wish this would remain open like this. As I siad to one member of pdd I am more then willing to discuss issue's. Lets not however go over old news and re-hash my post about pdd some time ago.

It is bummer that the comment lock-down had to happen, for sure. Not ever for anonymous voices but because of the goddamn robots and their...

Hey, Berrett--what about a visual per post authentication tool like what they use on Detrimental Information or whois lookups? A "type this phrase/letter" to prevent spam mechanism. Blogger and a few other popular posting services are continually being heavily target, though, so I cannot say I'm terribly surprised by any of this... except possibly an absence of the gauntlet and a lack of Monty Python jokes.

John,
I don't think anyone was rehashing your post on this post.

That being said:
* Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added.
* Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness)
* Water (to help in mixing)
* Sugar (for flavour)
* Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative)

Enjoy!

hey adam, where the heck's that Homegrown rate card, eh?

been waiting for it for two days, ya lazy chooch!

seriously,

SPAM!

Actually I've decided to take advantage of every spam offer I get. I'm hoping to grow an even more massive erection than I already have and buy a house for it with the earnings from my penny stock trading. It'll be able to get a college degree in two weeks and run my ebay empire. I can then spend my time checking the minnesota materials exchange for used myspace proxys and good camping sites at state parks. BTW, I'm the real sinatra goddamn it.

To John Rathe:

PDD's comments have always been "open" in the sense that no one was ever denied membership.

The only difference now is that you don't have to log in first.

This is the liveliest post in a long time. It's like when the electricity would get knocked out in grade school. Rules, shmools. Anarchy was just around the corner, we could tell.

Ezra--

You don't have an email address anywhere and you don't check your blog mail. I've been trying to psychically communicate, but your mental defences are obviously too mighty. adam [at] transistormag.com
