On the FOURTH day of Christmas, a true love ought to give:
FOUR scammers getting baited and losing their gift cards
THREE busted spammers’ modems
TWO broken spammer’s modems1
ONE spammer’s head in a pear tree1Credit to @BronxWench for the second line
-
Can you tell I’ve gotten peeved at the spammers slithering across our website, littering our forum with their filth?
-
Believe me, Desi, we really appreciate the giggles as we fight the bastards

Don’t know the available settings on this thing. However, if you can update the captcha requirements to post as a guest, and get all guest-posts put into a moderation pool (for approval) before becoming visible, that might help? Even though, yes, you’re fast to remove them, it is pubic in visibility for a short period.

For the first day of Christmas, a true love OUGHT to give a spammer’s head in a pear tree.

One the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two broken keyboards, and a spammer’s head in a pear tree.

Tis the season for Santa’s Workshop to be bought out by a Wall Street private equity firm.

Started off as a conversation with a coworker about the likely OSHA violations (for Santa’s Workshop).
-
Yeah, I’m going to say it’d be the otherway around. You’d think it would be like wolves descneding on some old dude but then you realize Old Saint Nick has one eye.
-
Word of advice to any Wall Street private equity firm thinking about this potential buyout? Do not fuck with the All-Father.

Sure, November’s goal might’ve been a bust, however, I think I’ve overcome the hurdle that stopped my progress. Therefore, my December’s goal is to advance my potter story from 1066k to 1125k (on-drive count). Already had 1.1k this morning before work, so off to a decent start.
-
November’s over and I’ve missed my goal for the month Still, 40k’s not too bad I suppose.

Thanksgiving turkey recap: It was tasty/delicious, didn’t bother with gravy based on the QA taste test
Being single & celebrating by myself, I opted for a turkey breast (which is less than a full bird). Started this on Monday, when I let the thing soak in a bath of orange juice mixed with sugar, salt, & spices. Yesterday, fired up the propane meat smoker, used cherry wood chips, let it sit for four hours inside. (Also had some chicken thighs along for extra meat to enjoy later.) Only mistake, didn’t fully dump all the OJ bath out, so it was still in the cavity at hour three, dumped that then … so at that exact spot, it was a tad under cooked despite the rest being well-done (I’ll get it with the microwave on leftovers).
All in all, quite pleased with how it turned out. Quite moist, tender, and bursting in flavor with every bite, hence the decision to skip the hassle over gravy. Carcass is now in the freezer, I’ll take it out once I’m inthe mood for turkey soup.

Turkey breast would’ve fed a small family’s feast w/o an issue, and way less effort than a full bird
-
But I like the whole bird…
Actually, for a family dinner, a turkey breast is fine. It’s just not quite Thanksgiving for me.
-
A whole bird would be nice, gotta admit, but then I’m one mouth, and that’d be a month of leftover turkey...gets old after awhile. So, considering all angles, made the right choice IMO. (Of course, having family living closer to go and join, that’d be even better, TBH.)

Death penalty for spammers, anybody got an issue with this?

It’s not just the forums; I’ve been getting a lot of spam “reviews” in the archives, too.
But yeah, the wicker man solution sounds valid.
-
Cross my fingers, not an issue in my reviews, yet. But yeah, tar & feathering’s too good for them.
-
Not even spammers review my stories, so I’m fine. lol
-
Make yourself feel better, go back and re-read the reviews you do have for your stories.

I want my money back! Third COVID shot so far, no super powers.

No, not yet.

Just rabbis…
-
Rabbis are more filling than anything I’d find in DC.
-
So, is eating a rabbi considered Kosher? (Asking for...a friend cause ‘tis the season for questions.)
-
Not that I know anything about how that works, but I’d think, if the rabbi’s kept kosher for an x amount of time (how long does it take our bodies to entirely renew all its cells?) then he’d be considered kosher…
-
So, liberally apply the Kosher salt to be on the safe side?
-
Oh, absolutely! Rabbi’s aren’t known for their flavour, after all...

Now that November is almost upon us, setting a (stretch) NANOWRIMO goal, get my potter fanfic to 1.1M, on drive.
-
Last week, I wrote past a million, this morning, I posted past a million on my potter fanfic!
-
If I ever wonder where my high word count is coming from on my rewrite, take this example of a 71 word paragraph, now over 800+ words including a short sensual shower scene. Guess this is literary inflation at work?
-
Okay, it’s official. Can’t consider my potter fanfic “short” as it’s broken the one million word mark on the drive, now halfway to two million! (By drive, this includes around 0.5% of overhead due to the HTML formatting.)

Tis the season to eat a bulb of garlic every day to keep the vampires at bay.

A side effect of my diet plan, keeps most other things away too
-
Fret not, Desi—with a trim and the right conditioner, you can get that all-over once-sheddy mane lush! sultry! with a light scent of musk: seductive, like good suede !
-
I tend to worry more about the extra “lumps” and curves in my b-day suit! Suppose I ought to add a bit of exercise to the diet options, that’s the true Halloween horror.

And then at 4 am you wake up with a murderous cat standing over you, for tricking them…
-
Technically, the cat’s on a prescription diet, only comes in one flavor, so I’m sure he appreciates the (unauthorized) occasional modification.

Poor kittie. Then you are absolutely right, he will appreciate the (unauthorised) modification

As of this morning, my potter fanfic has risen on AO3 in word count, now #16 longest in the category. Got some writing to do!
-
Don’t mind me, chuckling where I had Dumbledore refer to anybody under a hundred twenty as a “youngster” in my potter fanfic.

My inner devil wants to compliment the selfie. Your inner demon for the upcoming holiday?
