Oh - and I had to go around the houses to get your comment in - don’t know why. It wouldn’t let me post it as you so I posted it as me and changed me into you, so to speak.

Ah - I’ve just realised hat it is. Anti-spam. when I couldn’t get Akismet to work I ended up getting aggresive with my in-house anti-spam techniques. I get hundreds of spam comment attempts a day. So I blacklisted the word ‘pharmacy’ which means that only I can post it. Sorry about that.

Most other words I’ve blacklisted are American drug names which Joe soap wouldn’t ever use.

The lads wouldn’t wait for me while I wee’d in a bush (or maybe it was the road…yeah, now that I think about it, I just whapped out my lad and - forgive me, I was but a youth. Disgusting behaviour.), so I did my business and then strolled on, too apathetically drunk to bother chasing after them.

Stumbling past an Eckerd, which I’m sure you know is a kind of hybrid supermarket/phar-macy thing, my eye was caught by a $20 bill fluttering in the shrubbery outside. Whoo-hoo! in my drunken state, I had bent over to pick it up before I realised, hang on a sec, there’s another $20 bill. And another. And another.

I found $300 in $20 bills in the bushes outside Eckerd that morning. Naturally I gleefully Chased after the lads and slagged tghem relentlessly for not waiting for me. We could’ve been sharing the wealth, I cackled. Evil bastard.

I ended up spending the lot on CDs and drink, so everybody won.

WordPress says there’s no size limit - if ya still have a copy of it you could try the Contact Me form, or email me with it direct.

I do have all kinds of mechanisms in place to avoid losing posts to blogs, but the comments I make are usually so short and lashed off that I don’t bother with them. Unfortunately being verbose some comments tend to grow much longer than I thought they would be and this can catch me out - usually if I realize a comment is getting long I immediately copy it to notepad because I don’t trust those webforms either - and so many times it’s at the moment of realization of the length, and accompanying vulnerability, that - zap! - the world ends. I tend to blame what Con Houlihan calls the gremlins. This comment is right now in the buffer.

Doesn’t work well if there are multiple text boxes but is perfect for blogs.

I like the simplicity. Scorn it not.
