Today, I banninated a sig spammer who couldn't manage to make their sig a link. It appeared that the spammer was a real person instead of a bot, too.

What are some other really badly qualified spammer appearances you've seen? Members, let's confer!

'Cept they ain't members no more. Forcibly banninated spammers don't count as members anyway. I'd say "vermin" is a good label for them...

Ask turtle about getting in trouble for "no threads about former members."

I bet it's actually Glenn, ain't it? Came here in 2001 to hawk some dodgy Rolex copies, and quickly got sidetracked to the extent that he completely forgot why he was here and ended up being an admin instead. And hasn't spammed us yet. Very incompetent spammer.

Don't worry Glenn, your secret's safe with us.

I would never suggest anyone buy a dodgy "Rolex". Never. I have real estate to think about!

I usually like it on my wiener, it soaks in more that way. What kind of wieners do you like?

Just got back from the Big Island of Hawaii a few weeks ago. SPAM is everywhere. The locals love the stuff. I was going to try the SPAM breakfast hash, or the Filipino inspired dishes with it, but couldn't ever get myself to order it. SPAM is so greasy the few times I had it it gave me a headache.

Strange, from my school days I always remembered it being darker than that. Maybe we just got the cheapest spam on the market.
