I know I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again, but I love the internet.
Yesterday someone posted on my Legos post saying he was from Wild Planet Toys based in San Francisco and that he’d love for Eli to try out a few of their toys.
My first thought was, “This is spam, [...]
Live Granades has been invited to join an ad network. I have no idea how we got onto these people’s radar or why they thought we had the readership (outside of the LOLTrek juggernaut) to support ads, but there it is, we’ve been approached. It creates a dilemma for me that I had no idea [...]
Maybe you were participating in a discussion on a blog when someone made a joke about Rowling’s latest book, Harry Partch and the Order of the Hobos. Ha! ha! everyone else said while you stewed in a broth of incomprehension. Maybe someone said, “Hey, you’re a physicist, right? Can they really get enough energy out [...]
In Wednesday’s post about me giving up caffeine, I mentioned the word “coffee” once. Since then we’ve had a number of coffee-related spam comments, many of them of the “HERE IS WHERE TO GET YOUR SWEET SWEET JAVA” variety. Only a few have slipped through, thankfully.

Amy was the first to bring this to my attention, so she gets the public blame. I, of course, cannot resist sharing it with you.
LOLCODE.
