Oh, my gracious, what HAVE I missed?

See, I can't be here at work (break ends in a moment) and I miss all SORTS of interesting stuff and battles amongst my WWTBAM family.

And against forces from the outside, too.

What fun to read the threads!

And to ruminate on what the spammers might have said.

The first one was just a very sad story of an American who was somehow stranded overseas. If you looked closely, though, every other letter was actually a link to some web sites we'd really rather not visit.

The second one was an out-and-out porn spam, full of links to naughty sites. The third (although perhaps the second in time) was the troll who stirred everyone up about the relative intelligence of men and women.

I read all about Mr. Sox and his, uh, theories.

I was wondering about the ones that were already gone.

:D

ahem.

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song,
woo, hoo,hoo
woo,hoo,hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm already gone
And I'm feeling strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
woo, hoo,hoo
woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feeling strong
I will sing this victory song
'Cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night
