Are You A Mammal?
I have turned on the word verification feature where, when commenting, you just type in a series of random letters to prove that you are not a spam-inducing software program. The spambots have been hitting pretty hard lately so hopefully this will help. We'll see.
Update- In the comments, Girl With An Alibi finds a new way to have fun with word verification: "Have you guys played the acronym game with word verification? Fun times, I tell ya, fun times.
Wise children keep crayons zipped."
Sheryl's verification letters and response:
"Oprah doesn't understand grown men"
See? World verification is only a little bit of a nuisance and even fun for the imaginative. It's certainly better than all of the spam I've been getting.
Thanks.

Hi Fellow Blogger,
You really have a cool blog!
If you are into real estate, sex toys, or other assorted gizzmos, drop by my blog today!
Or call 1-800-NEW-SPAM!
Sorry, I just wouldn't want you going into spam withdrawl if it all ends too quickly. ;-)

AAAhhh!!
You're right. I should probably order the "spam patch", go off it slowly. Maybe there's a spam equivalent of nicorette.

[Sentimental dreamy look.] Whenever I think of nicotine patches, I think of my old fantasy about marketing Nicotine Patch Kids dolls.
OK, shut up, Sheryl. I'll stop here because I could see myself going off on a tangent telling you all about that, and it has nothing to do with what you are discussing. I'm such a master of tangents. X-) Yikes!

Or maybe S.S., otherwise known as Spamaholics Synonymous.
I love trying to say some of these words I get to type to prove I am a nippled creature. Like the one for this message: "bgvduh"!
Well, hey.... "bgvduh" ROCKS!!

I think you may have something there, Snave. I know if I don't get my daily dose of viagra ads I start worrying that my email is being lost. Then I have the withdrawl convulsions on the floor. It's very unbecoming.

Hi Girl With An Alibi,
I hadn't tried that. Let me see what I got....

Oprah doesn't understand grown men. X-)
This does seem like a nice way to exercise the imagination. :-) Nice idea.

Hey Matt,
By integrating your comments back into your original post you managed to comment without playing the game.
I think you should have to make an extra long acronym to compensate for sidestepping the rules: flksdhgerolfgsnfhrj
Now, let's see. What have I got? Geez!

Well I can't take credit for the acronym game. I saw it on another blog and started playing but I think it started somewhere else and just kinda memed itself around.
Old yeller hates clever young indians.
