[OT] Ping John - Odd Comment Spam

How was that trip you took? Remember that post of yours which mentioned odd
comments and comment spam? Have a look:

http://www.molly.com/2006/02/03/comm...conversations/

* ?I looked through Holzschlag very interesting bloog, but your molly is
best.? Um, okay. I have never looked through my own Holzschlag much less
anything known as a bloog, and while I?m sure my molly is in fact the best,
I?m wondering just how a stupid script like you has come to know that, too.

* ?Love your blog!! though I sometimes disagree with you, you really are
intelligent. Always good to read you.? Why thank you, you miserable
software-selling manipulative spammer. I appreciate that you love my blog
and think I?m intelligent. For the record, I disagree with your very
existence. Not that you?d care, considering you are a boring, belligerent,
bot bastard. Can you please go away now? Thanks.

* ?Java causes that page www long oneself reads carefully.? - So are you
saying that Java can lengthen things? Or are you just trying to sell male
enhancement products to geeks?

And out of the bloom, regardless of the previous post, I came across the
following later this afternoon:

Saw it listed in the RSS feed this morning. Haven't read anything yet, but
I'll have a look now. This explains your absence, but rest assured that you
missed nothing major unless PageRank updates and plenty more of "Re: AWW
Who-is-Who" actually count.

I was only gone for like 36 hours :-) We left on Friday, and got back on
Sunday. I am quite busy with a big (SEO related) project atm.

Want to do the trip again someday, but probably spread over a week. 30 hrs
in a bus out of 36 is not really something I recommend.

But I *did* manage to find a scorpion :-p

Yes :-) When I arrived in Mexico I was very depressed, had little money,
and when I discovered that my tourist visa only had 15 days written down a
few months later (instead of 180 days) I was afraid that fixing things
would cost me quite some money.

I was right, the trip to Guatemala does cost some money (The fine for
overstaying was also not small, but also not high).

Next step is to get a stamp on all my papers (apostille), and a some
additional paperwork, but been there before (New Zealand), so I expect a
smooth ride :-)

People are very friendly at the immigration office.

Few weeks ago the bus was checked for illegal immigrants, and I didn't
have my passport with me. But even that was not a real issue :-) (I had to
get off the bus, my novia explained the situation, and could go back on
the bus).

I used to joke that I was the only illegal immigrant who wanted to stay in
Mexico. But reality is that a lot of people from Honduras, Guatemala, etc.
want to get into Mexico. Mexico is very poor, so I can only guess at how
bad it is in those countries that people are willing to risk a lot.

The most frustrating thing is that any attempt to work in the bus leads to
nusea. It's hard to avoid boredom.

I noticed quite an elegant bug in the last photo. Did you grab it for the
'office'? You know... to save on crickets?

Does that make your site 64 times as popular as mine. Assuming a logarithmic
scale?
