And he actually purchased me lunch simply because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

    Okay, with #4, why would anybody even bother leaving a comment like that? I get them occasionally, and it’s like saying “I didn’t read it, but want you to see that I’m here”.

    Number 9 was my favorite, like, for sure!

    I enjoyed this post by the way…. kidding!! ;) You know what I mean – I did enjoy reading your spam and especially appreciated the workings of your inner mind’s replies!

    Oh this is HILARIOUS! I’m always baffled by the spam comments. I mean, who really clicks to their sites and buys stuff? Apparently some still do or it wouldn’t be worth their time.

    Oh my heck! This was hilarious!

    I have taken to reading some of these kinds of spam comments to my husband and we just laugh and laugh. I’ve had several of these exact same ones. (I know, I’m equally as shocked that they aren’t writing this quality material for my blog specifically. Can you believe they are just copying and pasting these wonderful comments. LOL)

    My personal favorite (which I got as well) was the one about spam comments. Too, too funny!

    LOL, cute post. I’ve received some of these same spam comments too. It makes me wonder who comes up with them. If only it were possible to send them back your witty replies. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Those comments baffle me! I don’t understand why they think we might remotely think they are real. And they all have the same crazy tone and mixed up words. Weird.

    I really have been getting a lot of spam lately. Whats up?

    That last one made me laugh out loud – your response about “solid function!” I don’t get many spam comments on my blog, because I’m just a teeny tiny blog with hardly any traffic. *cue violins*

    I think these are comments made by the Nigerian spammers. They couldn’t make a proper sentence if their lives depended on it. I’m constantly getting stupid emails from them trying to make me think they are from some of the blogs I visit. They do this trying to be nice garbage in their broken english writing style, then they want to sell me on becoming a partner with them in some illegal deal I’m sure, or to sell me Viagra. Dude’s I don’t have anything behind my jeans zipper that a Viagra or other similiar product could do anything to. They don’t even know what sex they are emailing too. Idiots as Debra would say on Everybody Loves Raymond.
    I can’t communicate in my writing style either sometimes, but I can blame mine on brain glitches that occur a few hours before one of my migraines hit. Which I think will happen anytime soon, because I’ve had several brain glitches today, especially in the spelling department.
    All spammers should be jailed with computers that only link to each other in that jail. Then they would get sick and tired quickly of the constant spam garbage coming back to them that they try to give to everyone else.
    I don’t really think these people get routine business either with their spams, just an occassional person who is very vulnerable and unlearned
    in the criminals deceptive ways via the internet.
