Spam And Solti

[poliphilo]

As always I begin my day on LJ by clearing out some of the spam that has accumulated over night. I doubt if I get it all. For some reason the spamsters are particularly drawn to a short post about rhubarb I wrote earlier this year.

Last night I found myself watching a programme about Sir Georg Solti. It was called Maestro or Mephisto? but really we were only given the one choice. A percussionist complained that Solti tried to get the Royal Philharmonic to play like an American band when it wanted to be British but apart from that there was never a whiff of sulphur. Dame Kiri hinted that he may have been a bit of a one for the ladies but only in the nicest possible way.

Argh, why does that happen? I get dozens on a post-a-poem from months ago; I may just delete the post.

If you delete that one they'll probably just find something else to latch onto. I have several posts that attract spam. God only knows why the choose the ones they do.

Spam and rhubarb? Sounds tasty.

Sounds disgusting.

I had to eat spam as a child. It's nasty stuff.

Fried on a sandwich it's--well, still nasty, just fried. One of those odd Frankenfoods that I should worry about finding tasty, probably...
