Spamasaurus Rex

Lemme just do a rant. Readers know I’m a little … er, slow when it comes to figuring out the comment spam thang. (Don’t you worry, the kid’s got a plan.) I’m just a little frustrated that all of these spammers are cloggin’ my blog when I’m totally in favor of their products. Cheap Valium? [...]
