Had another inexplicable jump in readership yesterday. I may be able to search through the data and figure out what’s going on… or it may just be another one of those things where a couple dozen extra new readers turn up one day for reasons I never can work out. Whatever the cause, I like it… and wish it’d happen all month sometime.
Another inexplicable thing I see is the security updates about who’s been blocked from logging in and screwing around on the site. There’s somebody in Russia who needs to get a different hobby. Probably some automated program someone’s written, but I’m tired of seeing that he, or she, or it has been blocked- again- after twenty attempts to log in. Same, but not as often, with some ass in France, and a couple others here in the states. Very worrisome, but more readers means more chances that you fall under the gaze of someone with wicked plots in mind, I guess.
Anyhow, enjoy Kelly’s gathering of footage for his giant Exposé, tell a friend or two to read Hubris, and if I suddenly go offline and the site is replaced with a Russian ad for mail-order brides… well, it wasn’t MY idea.
My oh my, Lowell got real decent glasses. Surprised he hasn’t gotten Lasik and gets to wear sunglasses day and night for 6 months… heh.
I think he clued in as Kelly’s Grinch Smile seeped through… maybe?
Greg, the Russian ones are past a nuisance. I’ve had them wham me with false ads, that loaded a search engine hijacker (the FBI went after that one, I was but one of many that got that); and recently they got ahold of a CC and tried to cash it out by trying to send multihundreds to a Russian girls dating site, when that didn’t work they tried iTunes then buying a ton of beauty products (CC caught them at the front and they got zero). Let’s not get started on the France ones or the ones bouncing through a node in Virginia from all over the world… grr. If you ever seem hijacked I will be letting you know PRONTO! (I can get it from trusted sites, sooner or later they get hammered and hit)
Has anyone suggested the idea that Lowell IS a Russian mail-order bride?
He has a supply of raccoons. But I don’t want to see any of them wearing veils
oh boy he just gave him the BIG SPOT for his new tv show there.
I tried the mail order bride thing once. Somebody forgot to poke holes in the box so she was dead by the time they delivered her.
Man, I hate when that happens. I got lucky and found a bride here, but I was starting to get desperate. Fortunately I couldn’t afford a foreign bride, thus stayed out of trouble.
Notice how Kelly deliberately misstated the name of the store, guaranteeing that Lowell would correct him — and taking care to get it on ‘tape.’ And Lowell, lacking both the cunning to realize that he’s walking into an ambush, as well as the discretion to know when to STFU, has made it almost too easy. I’d say that Kel’ has already more than earned that wicked grin.
Can’t wait to witness the implosion. As Lena from ‘The Katzenjammer Kids’ often says after Rollo gets into yet another scrape, “He brought it on himself, Miss Twiddle.”
Why … do I feel like I’m looking in the mirror when I see Lowell? GREG!!! Why does Lowell look like me?!
