Acrochallenge!

Ahh, hello, my friends and fans of the little lettered tiles. It's Monday, and yes, I survived Rocktoberfest without nary a bottle hitting my person, but more about that tomorrow. For now, let's get to another way-too-happy round of acromania.

Well, it has finally happened here in Betland. It happened over the weekend while I was away. Some lowly snake-in-the-grass spammers got ahold of my blog comments and had at it. Not one, not even two, but three, count them, I know you won't, spam advertisement comments in my blog. They should be ashamed.

While everyone else was lamenting the sad fact of spammers in their comments a while back, I listened attentively and commiserated, thinking the only way I'd escaped so far is that I have Blogger Pro. Well, apparently that wasn't the case cause now I've been infiltrated. So to speak. And now I have to make the decision I was hoping I wouldn't have to make - to go "no anonymous comments" or not. I really don't want to, I want any old soul who drops by to be able to comment, but it may come to that. I'll wait a few days and see what happens.

In the meantime, I guess I'll turn lemons into lemonade and make my dilemma this week's acrotopic. So this week, how about "Leave Me A Spam Comment." Yep, whatever product or website you want to hawk, send it to me as this week's acro.

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic above, but the letters below, randomly drawn from an advertisement-free acrobasket. Acrobasket is the Public TV of baskets, only he doesn't take 17 pledge weeks a year. Then tomorrow night at around 10pm est I'll be reading the entries and judging, and the winner will recieve whatever product is hawked in their acro. The losers, well, I guess they'll just remain losers they are.

So, this week's topic, "Leave Me A Spam Comment." The letters:

Q I C R Z R

Holy shit. The Q and the Z in one draw? This has to be some sort of record. I know it'll be hard, but you'll be up to the task. Now, everybody! "Spam, spam, spam, spam...."

Betland's Olympic Update:
* One of my spams was for tips on how to grow really nice asparagus. Didn't that guy see my "phallic asparagus" Picture Sunday? I mean, why would I need help growing my asparagus?
* Having now completed the longest four-day weekend of my life, I get to watch some movies again. A Marcello is up for tonight. Wait, that's not fair of me to say, because during the longest four-day weekend of my life, I still managed to cram in two Alan F movies. Poor Alan F....

I have no acro, but a suggestion --- you can add word verification, which so far has seemed to keep out the spammers on the blogs I keep.

I think I'm too late to join Acro, but I just want to say that these letters would be the shittiest Scrabble draw EVER.
