Comment spam gets stranger by the day. Today I received this nice comment on my OPML blogroll widget page:
Please, do not delete the given message. Money obtained from spam will go to the help hungry to children ugand
Yeah, right, I’m sure. Into the spam bucket with you.
Better to be honest, like the disheveled fellow on the street with the sign that says “Need money for beer.” I always give that guy a dollar.

Hey Chip. I “Need money for beer”.
Where should I send the dollar?
I don’t think I qualify… I wasn’t on the street with a sign.
Well, if I ever get to meet you in person, I’ll buy you a beer anyway.
I’m up for that, Chip! It may provide me with a great excuse to get up to Bainbridge. I think my father was stationed at the Navy base up there in the 80′s. From what I remember, it was beautiful. I lived in Vancouver, BC at the time.
Your blogging beer buddy,
Doug
There’s no naval base on Bainbridge, but the surrounding areas are full of them: Bremerton, Keyport, Bangor, Whidbey, and Everett.
Anytime you’re up in the Seattle area, give me a shout and we’ll see if we can get together.
It was Whidbey!
Pilot?
No, he was actually on a Sub Rescue ship I believe.
Hi there
Come to Key West and you will see so many of them with the
sign or without…they all only want a beer. Another one
tells you even dirthy jokes for 1 $…That’s Key West
also…!:-))
A dollar for telling a dirty joke? I may have just found my new calling.
Thanks, Suzanne. I’ve been to Key West, but I never had the pleasure of meeting that fine gentleman.
Nice photoblog you’ve got there, BTW.
I’m the fone gentleman you are referring to. Unfortunately I’m not in key weird anymore. But you can email me at dirtyjokeguyofkeywest@hotmail.com. I found this by doing a search of dirty joke guy/ key west. If you do that you will see lots of pics of me and shit. thanks
LOL — small web, steve. Thanks for dropping by.
yeah, not just a small web but a small world. My first 2 years telling jokes in key west I met 20 different ppl I knew from R.I./Mass. area. Thats 1800 miles away. I tried to talk to you the other day when I posted my comment but couldnt remember my password. too many emails. but email me if you like. I’m right now on the library comp. as thats the only access to one I have and I’m writing my 5th book about my adventures as a dirty joke guy for $1. I’m not in key west anymore though in the past 8 years I had 21 imitators down there telling jokes.
Sincerely, steve the dirty joke guy of key wasted
Well a place like Key West eventually draws everybody down Duvall. Reminds me of a time I was sitting in the Buena Vista cafe in San Francisco with some former co-workers. We were sharing war stories about our former boss (in Florida), when in he walked!
The annual Financial Cryptography and Data Security conference was in Key West one year — the only year it was ever in the US. If I’d known it was there at the time and had the resources to do so, I would definitely have made my way to Key West, too.
As things stand now, though, I don’t expect to see the place any time soon.
I don’t know if he is THAT fine or a gentleman at
) You can met him somewhere on Duval..of course..where else if not there where all the
all…
crazyness happen anyway….
See you in Key West!:-))I’m at Mallory Square almost
every evening selling there my photographs to tourists.
Yeah it’s me the dirty joke guy. What do you mean you dont know if I’m that fine of a gentleman? Email me at dirtyjokeguyofkeywest@hotmail.com
Lol,
In Hamburg I saw a young guy in shorts and shades, sitting in a comfortable chair, and playing a – then top 10-charts hit – song on a blaster. He had a sign sayin “I want money”.
Amazing thing is, people really did give…
I suppose, Martin, that you could put a page up on the web that says “Donate here” with a PayPal tip jar and you’d make at least some money from it.
How about sake? I need money for sake. And books!
Um. I claim artistic license (re: starting a sentence with a particle).

Cash for sake’s sake. And books make a good reason for artistic license.
