I have already gotten e-mails like this before, but here is one from management@ifroggy.com (spoof, of course) and it is a virus, I believe:

Those crazy Ifroggy.com guys… oh, wait…

Anyway, it is iFroggy and not Ifroggy and it is an annoying e-mail.

So, I’m reading this booklet that has a list of homes for sale in it with pictures and details. Why? Because it was there. I’m never gonna be in the market (well, not for a long while). I like to look at houses, though.

Anyway, I run across a picture of a home with this description.

At this point, my jaw is on the floor. What the frickin’ heck is going on? “skilled slave labor”? More like forced, unpaid, self degrading labor (probably). I mean, how could someone put that in the ad? Such a lack of tact and such insensitivity and disrespect.

So, while these folks had to build this house in what was probably horrid conditions, treatment and no pay… now people get to enjoy the spoils of their labor? 7 bed rooms, 7 bath rooms, a ballroom, marble floors, a pool, gazebo, cabana and who knows what else?! Disrespectful to the descendent’s of the slaves and as I said, very insensitive. I had to reread it a few times to make sure I read what I thought I just read.

I wouldn’t want to live in that house.

I see a commercials for a show called $40 a day (or something like that). I believe the premise is to show you how to eat great for $40 a day.

Now, this always kind of makes me say… what?!

I’m the type of guy that if you give me $40 a day, I will spend the first $40 on groceries (and, hey, any toiletries that I need) for that week and then I’ll pocket the $40 in each of the other 6 days. Bank it, save it, invest it, pay bills with it, whatever. $40 a day is like so much money to me. That’s $14,560 a year.

I felt it was necessary to lay out a few guidelines for this site. Please follow them. As this is my site, I will determine what entries violate them and do whatever I see fit to handle them.

Posting Comments

Be nice to your fellow posters. Don’t flame them. No name calling or general disrespect. Don’t insult people.

Random, inappropriate or unhelpful comments may be removed. Disagreeing is generally fine. It all depends on what you are saying. If it’s not inflammatory to me, chances are that it’ll be alright.

No vulgarities. Even what some would consider low level vulgarities will not be permitted here.

I am under no obligation to leave comments online. I respond to and delete comments at my own discretion. This isn’t a debate forum. There are plenty of forums on the Internet where you can debate any number of issues, but this is not the place to get completely immersed in an argument.

One good rule to go by is if you couldn’t say what you are saying in front of your mother, it might be worth revising.

No advertising. That’s vague, yeah. Suffice to say, blatant and unsolicited advertising isn’t cool.

Don’t worry, be happy. Have fun and treat people with respect.

My Posts

I will make various corrections to my posts without notice. These include spelling, styling and so on. If I have to correct myself, change an opinion or admit a mistake, I will make notice to that fact in the post or in a new post.

Very funny. I especially like the jungle cruise stuff.

Like any Homestar links I give, it is always best to start with the intros at the site and from the beginning stuff and move up, if you have never heard of it before.
