The spammer next door
My LJ allows anonymous comments, but lately, it's been abused by comment spam.

Makes me wonder if I know spammers in the meat world. I mean, have I waited at a traffic light with a spammer in the next car?

Have I browsed the computer book section and said "pardon me" to a spammer as I'm reaching for a Peachpit book?

Have I bumped into a spammer as I'm scanning the Ethernet connectors at Fry's?

What do spammers look like? Are they rich? Poor? Nerdy? Male? Female? Foreign? Domestic?

Is there some sort of spammer profiling I can do the next time I'm out and about so that I can kick the ass of the next spammer I encounter?

I'm thinking spammers are both Ren and Stimpy sized, brush only half their teeth, and prefer to ingest Spam. Not in the amusing Monty Python manner, but rather fried with lots of ketchup.

Hope this description aids in your recognition of genus spamarius.

You know what I love about you, bc?

You resisted the temptation to answer "My LJ is friends-locked so I don't get comment spam. Neener neener."

Oh, I don't know. Could be the flocked thing that prevents spammers - or it could be the fact that I'm identified with a cute squirrel rather than a food-poisoning bacterium, hosted by a site entitled Nude Skeletons.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!
