Insane Random Ramblings

I’ve been getting some funny spam comments lately. It’s even better than the foreign spam that I was getting but they’re still consistent with it.

Now I’m getting quotes and proverbs as my spam comments. Here are just a few of them:

I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing

The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks

I used to get comments about diet pill reviews or things like that. Now I’m getting a much larger variety of things. Like I said, more creative but they’re still not getting the backlinks.

But I didn’t do it intentionally. I saw two girls standing by the back doors on the bus. Then I saw one of them catch a umbrella that was falling and stand it back up. When I got off of the bus, I saw that the umbrella was still there. I thought it belonged to 1 of the two girls that had been standing by the door so I grabbed it and went after them.

When I caught up to them at the next light, they told me that it wasn’t either of theirs and it had been there when they got on the bus. I turned around to hand it to the bus driver but he pulled off before I could get his attention. There had been a guy standing in the doorway before the girls had gotten on the bus and I think it may be his umbrella. He only catches the bus once a week and I don’t want to try to carry it everyday. I’ll probably run it over to the bus company to be put in their lost and found. Hopefully someone will claim it cause it’s one of those really big golf umbrellas.

See, I really didn’t take it one purpose.

Or the alternate title of “How I stalked the UPS guy for almost 2 hours”. We now have delivery in my service area after 5pm, I just didn’t know exactly what time he would show up. First I waited around outside trying to kill some time. I walked to the corner and back several times until I got tired of staring at my neighbors. Then I waited downstairs in my apartment building until almost 6:30 when he finally got there.

I won 2 prizes in the Marlboro sweepstakes. I won a two cups to go coffee maker and I won a wall mounted bottle opener. The coffee maker is pretty nice too. I have a neighbor who is buying her own home soon and she loves coffee. This will make a great house warming gift for her. I’m keeping the bottle opener.

I’m pretty happy with what I won. Now if I could only time the UPS guy better.

But I have no idea what it is yet. I have to wait until the UPS guy gets here before I find out what exactly it is. It’s a prize from the Marlboro sweepstakes but I never got a email announcing the prize. I always check my spam emails before I delete them so I have no idea what it is.

I can’t wait to find out what it is.

IDIOT SIGHTING :
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it’s safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, ‘What on earth are blind people doing driving?!’

IDIOT SIGHTING :

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker.
She was leaving the company due to ‘downsizing.’
Our manager commented cheerfully,
‘This is fun. We should do this more often.’
Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn’t understand why her system would not turn on.

Woah dude! Man what a treat I got the other day. My neighbor went to get into his car. It was probably hot because it had been sitting in the sun all day. (I don’t know why he didn’t put his car in the garage but that’s another story). Anyway, before he got in the car he took his shirt off. All he had on was a wife-beater. I love men in beaters and believe me when I tell you he did that beater justice!

I knew that he worked out because I see him with his gym bag several days per week. I don’t know if he could give me a diet pill review because I think he just watches what he eats and exercises. Whatever he’s doing, it’s definitely working.

Best believe I’ll be outside checking for him again this week.

I haven’t wanted to go anywhere or do anything. I’ve just sat in the house and watched tv for over 2 weeks. Some days there isn’t anything worthwhile seeing, then other days there are a couple of different shows to watch. I haven’t even been shopping recently. While that may not be unusual, I haven’t gone grocery shopping either. I do need some stuff too. I need more fresh fruit and I need some acne products because my face is really oily since it’s summer.

Maybe I’ll go out this weekend and find something to do. It’s starting to get pretty boring just sitting in the house.

Manhattan is the only borough in New York City that doesn’t have a Main Street.
