Why are all the good women already spoken for?
There are no good women left in my town. None go to church and if they do they are already spoken for. Married that is. This chupacabra selection that remains leaves me high and dry, and blue for that matter. I need more quality women in my diet. Can someone please help?
It should be illegal for Women, Elderly, and Handicapped to drive vehicles!
Have you seen them on Sunday? These drivers should be banned from the public streets. Serious though. Over half the people killing other people are from such demographs and Im wondering who let the dogs out and said it was cool for them to drive. I mean come on, for safety's sake please stay at home!
Neutering or spaying your animals is just not natural!
I have allowed my cats that I never wanted in the first place to bear me 4 litters of kittens, they all have extra claws and are polydactyl short hairs. I can't stand to see that cone around their head, and if God said unto man, " be fruitful and multiply, then WTF about the other intelligent creatures. Its like saying abortion is ok either way, which it is not!
Clamato and Budweiser?
Have you tried the new beer, now out from Budweiser? Sparks taste nasty and will get you sick but this new beer from Bud tastes great... It is just a little more spicy and $1 more expensive! I would recommend this beer to all my friends, stay clear of sparks, camo, arrogant bastard. Just my thoughts on the matter! Clamato tastes great in its own right. This combo is perfect... good job Budweiser team!
Why do you buy bottled water?
I refuse to buy water. Who gave anybody the right to sale something that comes from the sky or earth or ocean? For that matter fruit should be free too, but buying water which should be free to all without price just as milk and honey ought to be free too. What has this conumer nation turned ourselves into?
Have the police ever accidentally lost your possessions during a typical routine cop checkup?
My license is now gone thanks to a police officer who when taking it back to his patrol car, accidentally slipped out of his hands and into his console. Thanks alot officer, I don't want to have to need to get another. The DMV sucks as it is!
Stamps.com ripped me off
Stamps.com used their bull crap tactics to get me to pay for their crappy service, all for a measley $5 free postage promise offer! They lured me into their clutches then stuck me for a lot of misc fees. I can't believe our Great US postal service would even associate with such fraudulent activities. The usps is not oscar mayer weiners buy 2 get 5 free. It is no such thing. Stamps.com ripped me off, and that is my story and I will back it up. They are rip off artists just like any marketing scam would be. Do not become a member of their fraudulent practices, nor lured by any incentive they may give you. I am reporting them also to the better business bureau and I hope our beloved USPS doesn't get duped by the scammers. Stamps.com sucks. Period!

Viral Inviter VS TrafficXplode 2.0 Review
Viral Inviter VS TrafficXplode 2.0 Review
If you have been around in the internet marketing world long enough you probably have heard of Mike Filsaime’s Viral Friends Generator. What it does is basically bribe the visitors to tell their friends about the site. In the early days, the interface of the VFG is just a few simple text boxes where visitors can type in their friend’s email addresses plus a simple submit button. This creates a win-win situation for both the site owner and the visitors. The site owner gets more traffic, the visitors get a free gift (something of value), everyone happy. However, things usually don’t turn out the way we plan; often time the site owners run into a problem where visitors do not type in valid email addresses so visitors get free gift but site owners get nothing.
There is also the unsettled discussion on where to best place the tell-a-friend page would be on a page. After opt-in? After sign up? After log out? The list goes on and on. In the early days, the tell-a-friend script doesn’t give you much flexibility on location of the tell-a-friend page plus the restriction for the kind of website that the tell-a-friend script can be used with. Those days you only see marketing sites use this kind of tool and most of the time you will find tell-a-friend script after opt-in pages or sign up pages. So, folks in the internet marketing niche kind of got used to it after a while so the tell-a-friend script later became “invisible” to the visitors.
Recently, web 2.0 has been very big. One social site started to implement similar idea to the tell-a-friend script where members are given a chance to invite their friends to come join the social site. And here is the trick, users can just login to their email accounts and invites friends on their contact list through simple web interface. And now almost all of the social network sites use the same trick. The “trick” is responsible for the viral growth of those social network sites.
So now, the tell-a-friend script follows the social network industry. Nowadays, the email contacts importer is a basic requirement for every tell-a-friend script on the market, it comes down to the question of how many email clients does the script support. Often time, the promotion material will say something like “grow your site like Myspace and Facebook” but we all know that this kind of statement is a cliché.
In this Web 2.0 world, these are the basic requirements that every tell-a-friend system should have
Other things to consider when it comes to picking the right tell-a-friend system is whether or not you need to install the script on your server. Often times the tell-a-friend script is offered in PHP/MySQL platform, so those who are running a windows server won’t be able to take advantage of the script. It also applies to those who use cheap a shared hosting account because the provider usually doesn’t allow certain scripts to run or the provider might ban the account due to excessive use of the server resource by running those scripts. And another thing about shared hosting is the bandwidth issue. So, there are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to installing your own script.
There are two latest tell-a-friend systems that will be available very soon, Viral Inviter by Norman Freeman and TrafficXplode 2.0 by Jaratvit R. So let’s take a look at how these two compare
