With Friends With Names Like These, Karen Seems Suddenly Vanilla

Comments are closed on my bedroom and the Colleen interview, as the SPIDERS found those entries. I just spent half an hour removing comments from two people whose cruel or perhaps clueless parents named them “Lesbian” and “Porn Video.” THANKS FOR THINKING MY SIGHT IS COOL, LESBIAN! Did you really need to tell me 750 times on a single entry? THANKS FOR ALL THOSE LINKS TO MEGA ****, PORN VIDEO! Hey! Wait a second…Are you trying to TELL me something?

I am sure they meant no harm…with such subtext laden names, I betcha they had a hard time in middle school, and emerged scarred and uncertain of themselves, and perhaps they now seek approval by telling me my site is cool OVER AND OVER until I notice that they are not merely their labels, but REAL LIVE…spam spiders who work for MEGA****.

Not to be judgemental here, but I DID just lose a half our of my life to removing all this, so forgive me, but I have to ask, WHY WOULD ANY THINKING PENIS ENLARGEMENT FIRM HIRE SOMEONE NAMED “LESBIAN” AS A SPOKES-SPAMMER??? It seems…counter-intuitive.

I am sure comments will be closed on THIS entry relatively soon as well. I am SO tired of this. SO tired. Spam-nology has caught up with MT again, it seems, and my e-mail is wrecked by the SAME spammers and my husband, who fixes these things, has to leave town for 5 days. SO. Since comments are likely going to get CLOSED EARLY and not work properly again for a SOLID WEEK, feel free to send me an email I won’t get instead! *weak smile*

And now for soemthign completely different; Here is a darling story about Maisy at Christmas:

My brother planned the Christmas service at his church. Which meant that he picked all the songs and such, and so of course they were all the songs I loved best from childhood. It was a perfect Christmas service, quite frankly, even more so because my brother did the children’s sermon.

For those not familiar, in many churches (my brothers and my own included) at some point in the service the little kids all go up and sit down with the pastor or a parishioner who tells them a little homily or parable, and it is generally very sweet.

SO, all the kids ages 3 – 6 or so troop up and gather around my brother, who is, of course, speaking about Advent and how this is a joyful season where we are waiting for Christ and hope and renewal.

And Bobby is saying that God made the world perfect and lovely, and man borked it up, and how God loved us SO MUCH he could not stand to be separated from us by sin, and so he made a plan! Man had wrecked the world, my brother said, and brought in cruelty and misery, so what did the kids think God decided to do. Hint: THE ANSWER IS, SEND JESUS. Bobby has just covered with them that it is advent, right? This is clearly the answer. Everyone knows it is the answer.

Maisy raises her hand, ooh ooh Mistah Kottah style, just BURSTING to be the one to say it.

SO Bobby says, “Yes, Maisy, what did God do?”
And she says, in her pealing voice, “He FLOODED the ERF and STARTED OVER!”

That’s my girl! Go for the Wrathful Old Testament Answer!

After a morning spent with “Lesbian” and “Porn Video” I’m feeling a little like flooding the erf and starting over myself.
