Surfin’ Word

Category: Randomness Tags: , 7 Comments

So … here’s a little idea, I’m hoping it catches on …

For the blogger version of my blog (valetconfidential.net, as opposed to the MySpace or Facebook copies of the same blog), I have the commenting setup so that you have to enter a “word verification” in order to comment. I’ve noticed that here at blogger, the words are usually nonsense combos of letters. Either that, or my Word Power is a whole lot worse than I thought it was, anyway.

So … my idea is that whenever we comment on a blog and enter one of these confirmation words, also add the word to the text of your comment. If you want to try and come up for a definition of the word, too, that would be a great extra bonus.

Just an idea …

Who are You (who who? who who?)

Category: Randomness Tags: , 4 Comments

According to Lady Trout, it’s National Delurking Day!

I had forgotten/didn’t know; I better hurry and break out the Delurking deocrations, play traditional Delurking games, and listen to all of my favorite Delurking music.

I know I have a few regular readers – via Google Analytics I know there are a fairly good number of regular hits to blogspot version of the blog – plus at this time there are 4 subscribers to the blogspot version of my blog, and 6 to the MySpace copy of it.

So, if you are one of my anonymous readers, please feel free to comment here and say “hi” – or not, if you prefer to remain anonymous. If you don’t feel like commenting but want me know who you are, you can send me email!

Anyway, thanks for reading this, folks.

And remember, just 365 shopping days until next Delurking Day …

Movies I’ve Seen: 95 (movie geek meme)

Movies I’ve seen: 95 (movie geek meme)
It’s been said that allegedly if you’ve seen over 80 movies (from this list, apparently) you have no life.

Mark the movies you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own blog/MySpace page/Facebook account, paste this as a blog entry/note (you get the idea). Then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click Publish at the bottom. Have fun!
