Follow-up Schmallow-ups

I guess I should do a follow-up to the other two posts (not the car-related ones); the Dark Greae Erotica ended up being extremely popular over at AFF once the support department finally figured out what I was trying to pull off. The original I did like here ...the language is Korean, and I just used the google translator. I actually wrote a kind of short essay on the values of pulling off a decent prank. It was sort of amusing to take the Korean translation, and then move it back to English again. I couldn't make heads or tails out of the translated translation. It took MANY attempts at AFF before they finally got it worked out; the first rejection came because it said the language was unsupported. The second time I think they wised up because they tried to allow it, only rather than leaving the foreign characters; they used ASCII or something. The problem was the word wrap ...since there were virtually no spaces, the screen took up a HUGE amount of space!

I tried Japanese and didn't have much better luck ...I think the support staff finally figured out why I kept trying different revisions when I switched to Cyrillic. When IT approved, then the word wrap was even correctly done; I'm betting it took a lot of playing around on their end to finally getting it right. I noticed a few actual words mixed in, mostly "awesome" and one "spread it out a little." The absurdity at the end apparently just killed everyone. I always feel guilty about not responding to comments, but there were just a few too many "I'm cummminnnngggg" replies. I just found out today that frank pimped me out ...which explains that I have nearly double the views as my usual.

As for the other "Miss Cleo" ...I had posted it to AFF as well, but hid it after gaining my very first troll. Jeez ...the chick simply suggested that my post indicated I must

oh hell ...the exact words were:

I think you are having anxiety today. I'm not one to believe in pills, but I think you are nervous about a date tonight, or lack of one.

Here is a hug to make you feel better. It is given with love.

Wow ...for somebody who doesn't "believe" in pills, she sure proved herself to be a bit of one; I could SO "feel the love" in that hug! Of course I had to go look at her blog, and she was more than a bit of a flake ...albeit a god-fearing one who spoke extensively about how unhappy her marriage is, and reflections she noticed during her morning prayers. She didn't seem quite as nutty as that former Penthouse model, but she was pretty far out there.

I don't post that sort of thing to AFF though ...even when I posted it, I was reluctant since it wasn't my "usual" speed. The first comment being a troll was all I needed to convince me to hide it; I don't like writing blogs to stir shit up (although I've been vocal in a comment or two before). I dumped a watched blog today from a person who is even on my friends list ...she's just having a few too many problems with depression of late and I kinda hate the drama. I'll drama my ass off here, but not on AFF.

I have a post coming up about Nissan weekend #5 in the near future, and I guess eventually I'll need to get around to the news about Dad only being given a few more months to live. Probably before the end of the year. Maybe I just want to wait for the test results on Mom before I think about it too much. Or maybe I've simply already dealt with Dad's death for the most part. The "Dad" I knew has been dead for quite some time.

I've got lots to write on though.

I just ain't doin' it now.
