One for the Kids

This being Universal Children's Day, per UNICEF, we offer a precious thought from young Daria Morgendorffer of Highland Elementary School: click here.

Um, the "x" above meant that I was supposed to add something there but forgot. I've forgotten what I had to add, so....

Hey! It's Thursday! Time to party!

Latest entry on DariaWiki: it's a surprise from Brother Grimace. Wonder what Daria is like on that world.

  2. Yes. When I was a kid, I collected money for them so that we could all share in the job of seeing their blimp fly over the Super Bowl.

  4. Good thing Helen sued them. Not sure why, though.

  5. Hmmm, just deleted spam. The spambots are getting better every year. I guess we finally have another use for the death penalty.

  6. Just curious: was it World of Warcraft spam?

  7. No, something for brackets. I was surprised to see it. Maybe live people are logging in instead of computers now, then spamming away.

  8. That's what they were doing at SFMB for a while. Apparently it's a bunch of folks in China and India sitting in front of computers entering Captchas then spreading the spam.

  9. That's gotta be one of the all-time worst jobs ever.

  10. True that. I can see it now, the interview in the Human Resources Office: "Would you please explain this next item on your resume? Just what is Word Verification Entry for Broad Scale Internet Advertising?" "Certainly. I typed in Captchas in order to place ads for erectile dysfunction products Monday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday I did the same thing for time share sales...."
