outline Billie Jean

Because you need to remember only the important details, I outlined Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean for you:

  • Things she was more like:
    • a beauty queen from a movie scene
  • Things she told me:
    • “I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round.”
    • her name
      • Billie Jean
    • that I am the one
  • Things mother and people always told me:
    • being careful of what I’m doing
      • failure to do so could cause a lie to become the truth
    • not going around breaking young girls’ hearts
    • being careful of who I love
  • Things Billie Jean is:
    • not my lover
    • just a girl who claims that I am the one
  • Number of days during which the law was on her side:
    • forty
  • Things Billie Jean did:
    • told my baby we’d danced (on the floor, in the round) till three
    • looked at me
    • showed a photo
  • Things my baby did:
    • cry
  • My strong advice:
    • just remember to always think twice

Love, your dearest spammee

In the course of February, Spam Karma saw 2932 spam attempts here.
Out of these, 18 made it through and landed online (including a set of ten at once). That’s not a 100% score, just over 99.3%.

What really amused me with comment spam attempts was the neverending flow of “compliments”. There was just something ironic about a bot thanking you for your efforts over and over again, in dozens of ways.
So from day one I kept a mailbox full of compliments I received, and finally yesterday I went through the e-mails and compiled a list of the 83 ways spammers love me.

Without further ado, I bestow upon thee visitor, The Automated Guestbook!
