I really, really hate the word verification thing that a lot of bloggers have put on their comments. Just delete the spam instead of making everybody that wants to comment try and decipher some hieroglyphic looking letters that are all mashed together. If you have this feature enabled and I don't leave you as many comments you'll know why. Or maybe I've just got my bitch on today and I'll feel totally different in a few days.

Do you know any good songs to work out to?
The Trainspotting theme is one of the best but I need more.

The oldest person in the world just died, why oh why does that keep happening?

That dying epidemic among the world's oldest people sucks. You'd think they'd be able to do something about it!

Osbasso said...

New profile pic--anyone we know???

Epikate said...

Robin - you're a riot.

For working out - I like The Bravery, and Beck's Guero. But then, I just love Guero for everything.

So, you aren't gonna comment on my blog anymore?

:(

Robin Alexa said...

Obasso-it's not me but I like to pretend it is ;)

Kate-Thank you that's great

Plaunky-Depends on how much time I have to distinguish the q's from the g's :)

Anything by The Go! Team. They're super fun.
Got your bitch on, huh? Has someone been messing with you? Because if they have they'll have me or a bigger, stronger friend of mine to deal with!
My blog is 100% frustration free. You can throw as many comments there as your heart desires.

Kim said...

- I don't have the word verification enabled either. It really doesn't take much to just erase the spam.

- Dare you to Move by Switchfoot. I never could turn down a dare.

- I like to believe that everytime the Worlds Oldest Person dies, I'm one step closer to claiming the crown.

I thought that new profile pic was you!

I am having a hard time reading some of the new word verifications with blog. Either my eye sight is going or I'm just staring at the computer too long!

I've decided to play HNT, btw.

My bloggy addy is greekchickie.blogspot.com. See you Thursday!

(lol... Leesa & I have more-or-less dared each other...)

I always thought that Jamiroquai (Travelling Without Moving) was some great workout music and if you're the type to like funked up southern rock the Allman Brothers can jam their way through a workout pretty well. You can probably tell by my recommendations that what I like in my workout music is a long driving rhythm and songs that seem to never end. I have futzed with mixes but I find it's so hard to not accidentally throw in some ballad to bring you down. I also remember listening to a truncated mix of BNL's "Maybe You Should Drive" that could pop me through a good session on the treadmill.

sinner said...

no word verification on mine and a bunch of zeros. I'm so hurt *sniff*
:(

Outburst said...

I tend to like loud, hard music to work out to.
For you, I'd probably recommend Jimmy Eat World's "Pain".

Jerk Of All Trades 2.0 said...

But Binny, I'll miss you!

(Yes, I KNOW I can still come here, but it just won't be the same.)

clara* said...

zona boy - I went to visit you, dry those tears and have a coke...oh that reminds me of a funny post I might do.

Outburst - I will check it out, thanks!!

Jerk of All Trades - Maybe you could look at it as a bitch detector if I'm too bitchy to type in the letters maybe you don't want to hear from me that day! ;)

clara* - Word sistah.

petrow - Thanks!

Anti-Blogger - What?

isabel - You know how much I love you right cyber sis? That's how much I hate the B52's (however I have not heard that song)
Does it sound absolutely nothing like them? Because then maybe I'll listen to it :)

I recommend getting the haloscan comments. They seem to work better.

Princess Pessimism said...

Jerk Of All Trades 2.0 said...

OH....OK....so now I'm "Jerk Of All Trades" instead of Plaunky....OK....I get it....You're dumping me.....right here in front of everybody......this hurts Binny.....hurts.....I would NEVER have done this to you!

No....no....it's over.......(sob)...DAMMIT....I promised myself I wouldn't cry!!!

See what you've done to me!!!!

I'M TELLING LISA!!

Robin Alexa said...

Oh Plaunky you are so sensitive. Please don't tell Lisa...I didn't mean it. Maybe you're just tired because you start work at 4 a.m.! If I started work at 4 a.m. I would cry all day long and all through my sleep too.

You should come back I'm getting Half Naked on Thursday.

Calvin said...

yeah.. that word verification stuff is garbage!

BUMBLE!!! said...

The Ramones Mania (or the first self-titled album) is a great CD (greatest hits before they really lost it in the 90's) for lots of crazy energy. If you like the Iggy Pop from Trainspotting, you can always get The Stooge's Funhouse album as well.

Robin said...

I'm annoyed by the word verification thing to. I'm sorry that people have felt the need to resort to it, but my blog will forever remain word-verification free.

I might, however, add a spell check for you ;) You seem to annoyed when you create a typo (and half the time I don't even notice there's a typo until you point it out in another comment, ya silly goose!)

christy said...

cosmic thing is an album, and it sounds very much like the b-52's.

but she sings 'shake your.. honeybuns! shake your honeybuns! shake em till the butter melts, shake em till the butter melts!' and if that is not workout music, i don't know what is.

you can slap me, i understand.

Robin Alexa said...

I would never slap you my baby.

Robin Alexa said...

Oh and Robin(Funky Bug), I love you too.

Do you really have to meet someone to love them, to make it real? I don't think so.

I thought I was the only one who was getting tired of trying to read all of those squiggly letters. Impossible to read when one is blogging drunk!

~J~ said...

Sweetie - I am so sorry about the word verification thingee. I hope it won't keep you away too much.

Have I ever told you how cool I think you are??

I haven't?

Well, I do. You are a daily visit of mine. :D

wopanese said...

Sorry you feel that way about word verification.

Sorry that there aren't enough Canadian men with enough brain to catch on to the fact that you are a catch.

Sorry about apologizing so much.

Sorry this comment on this post is only, like, 3 weeks old, eh?

Oh, and sorry about the "eh" thing, okay?

I agreed with you right up until I started getting hundreds---literally hundreds---of spam comments every day. On MT, I could only delete 20 at a time, so it was taking me about 25-30 minutes in the morning where I did nothing but delete spam comments.

Word verification was a small price to pay to not have to do that anymore.
