SPAMEven with all the SPAM filters in the world, I still get SPAM. I hate SPAM, but I have to admit one of my guilty pleasures as I scan through the SPAM, I tend to read some. I quickly scan them to try to identify things that were caught by the filter that were valid comments. Every once in a while, though, I scan across a little gem.

Here’s my favorite Comment Spam today:

Hello. My compliments to a very nice website. I have a great time on your to see your lovely cat. Lots of succes in breeding.

Huh?

Awe.. Stumpy triumphed! Never underestimate the power of a 4 legged duckling.
Btw, thanks for visiting with your “lovely cat!”

Hehe. In case anyone is wondering about Stumpy… it’s a reference to zefrank’s recent bedtime story.

Zefrank is another one of my guilty pleasures.

Care to share your breeding tips?

So what do you do? Put ‘em in a room, lock it up, come back end of the day and bam, 10 little cute kittens staring right up at ya? :)

Too funny. I actually have a Jack Russell who will not allow any other live animal in our home. His first victim was our bird, Ozzy. His next victim was a Gerbil my son bought for my daughter. He’s a hunter… patient and psychotic. We still love him, though.

Some SPAM comments can be funny. Have you tried using one of the math comment spam protection plugins? I’ve found them very effective at blocking SPAM.

Here’s the one I use:
