Are you zaskachu?

July 4, 2007 by Alex Roe Leave a Comment

Apparently I'm not, yet, according to one of the odd comments left by what must have been quite a clever spam script. It even managed to include my url in the comment.

It's boiling hot here. Putting on a suit for work is a torture. The simple act of putting up three shelves caused yours truly to break out in sweat. So how the blazes can I have ended up with a sort of summer flu? Aches and pains, snotty and coughy. I'm feeling pretty groggy. I just don't understand … [Read more...]
