Fascinating comment spam

I just found this comment in my spam filter:

One afternoon, I was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour.
This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap. ”
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: “He lives in a home with ten children - he’s trying to catch up on his sleep.”

I cried from laughter
Sorry, if not left a message on Rules.

If MelissaK is a real commenter, I apologize for deleting your comment and I’m glad you’re here. It appears you’ll “cry from laughter” at anything, and we need more people like you.

If you’re just a spamming robot, well, congrats on being creative – you’re one step closer to sentience!

Happy May!

May PoleI know that it’s technically “May Day,” but May is way too cool just to celebrate for a single day. May is by far the most wonderful month of the year. In this single month, I get to celebrate:

  1. My anniversary. Were it not for my anniversary, I would be lonely, poorly dressed and mean.
  2. My mom’s birthday. Were it not for my mom, I would never have been able to create the Todd Blog.
  3. My father-in-law’s birthday. Were it not for my father-in-law, I wouldn’t have an anniversary. For the impact of that, see #1.
  4. My birthday. Were it not for my birthday, I would never have been able to create the Todd Blog.
  5. The release of some incredible movies. Iron Man, Son of Rambow, Prince Caspian, Indiana Jones, What Happens in Vegas. The list is so long and chock-full of incredible movie-going options!
  6. Memorial Day. The first holiday of the year. Which also happens to coincide with my birthday. So it’s like I get my birthday off!

I could go on, but I think you can see why May is so amazing.

So Happy May everyone!
