The Interior Passage

Someone named ttpcslqzv left a comment on my photo of a collage I made in May, a piece called “Fracture.” Did the comment have anything to do with my collage? No. Ttpcslqzv left his/her missive in order to let me know about a “tutorial” called “The Magic of Making Up”:

“If you have been fond of a female, who is get rid of along with you but if you’d like to get her backside, this tiny wonder e book has anything that will assist you acquire her again into your life,” says ttpcslqzv. “Discover when you ought to have intercourse while in the fixing your relationship course of action because most folks build a shed completely wrong and leap way back in to bed to soon simply to make connection more serious. Its awful to see it occur. From the final section you will learn how to develop a system to win her back or just stick to one of several plans she has presented in your case.”

Sorry, tt. I am the wrong audience for this sort of pitch in so many, many ways.

Somebody called “blackhat seo,” from the website “gscraper.com,” left the following spam message on my post “Photos from Charleston Trip”:

“I truly wanted to jot down a simple note to be able to say thanks to you for all of the magnificent ideas you are sharing here. My time-consuming internet investigation has now been honored with excellent insight to write about with my neighbours. I’d tell you that many of us visitors actually are very fortunate to be in a magnificent network with so many marvellous professionals with good tricks.

I was especially intrigued with his assertion that “My time-consuming internet investigation has now been honored with excellent insight to write about with my neighbours.” What information was he seeking with this investigation? And how did six photos from my three-day trip to Charleston give him such “excellent insight”? So excellent that he’s going to write about it with his neighbours?

Blissful! Well, I’m happy I could bring so much joy to the world.
