Whip It Good

Cléa?
That’s Mistress Cléa.
Whoa… Since when?
Who’s asking?
Er… a humble reader.
Since a search keyphrase that led to this post told me so.
Ah… you’ve been googled.
Was it you?
No… I swear… I’m innocent. I came here via Taubman’s Martini Paint.
You wouldn’t lie to Mistress Cléa, would you now?
No…no. Of course not.
Good. Or else…
Um… Is that a whip behind your back?
For whipping those bad bots, spiders, crawlers and harvesters into shape.
You really are Mistress of Your Domain.
Wait till the .htaccess boots come on!

If this is how you talk to people who randomly stop by for a visit, how do you talk to your regular guests?

I must say I always imagined you with a whip and high boots!

Glad you confirmed my impression.
What is your phone number?

Hello GSR, how are you doing today? Would you like a cool drink while you’re perusing cbmused.com? I’ll be right back…
So that was you, Sidney who googled it!
My phone number is the devil’s number: 666 666 666

Leather, whips and a functional keyboard.
Dark sexy geek.
I think I’m love already.

Are you going to slip something in the drink? Will I wake up handcuffed somewhere? Can it be a beer?

Kamigoroshi: See what managing my own domain has turned me into? I was very innocent before I learnt about robots and et al!
And if you go to my Chalkboard page (now the Martini Lounge), you might find some chalk…
GSR: These sound like requests rather than questions. So here go the answers:
I’ll tell you after.
Yes, with no keys or means of escape. Unless you use the safe word.
Absolutely not. The drink is the safe word.

Would that happen to be a pizzle whip? Just asking . . .

Hee…I love this song. My friend hates it and now I’m going to be getting the YouTube version and sending it to her for a great Friday kick off. Grazie!
Isn’t there a way to turn off the crawlers for your blog? I thought there was.
Oh, and this is my (me being Armie) new alias…just so you know!

Mistress of Your Domain, Executrix of Your Will.

Awww…nothing like a little corruption while it lasts. Welcome to the dark nights, the shimmering screens and the poetic code. Thread lightly we shall, for we don’t want to disturb our mistress with a flair for her own poetry.
Mmm…chalky goodness.

Trée: I’m too afraid to ask what one is!
Sicilian Mama: hellooo and lovely to see you! I had an inkling it was you when I read your comments elsewhere
Prego. This song is one of my favourites, if not my anthem at work
And yes, there is a way to try and stop these crawlers. It’s been quite a steep learning curve hosting my domain on WordPress . And I’m enjoying it!
Oh Zen… you do know your stuff very well!!
Kamigoroshi: I got sucked into the poetic code when I finally changed my template 2 days ago. There’s something addictive about WP. I hope it doesn’t sway me from the real purpose of having a site, and that is to write. And btw, got my first taste of spam today all caught up in Akismet. I felt important!
Glad you enjoyed the taste of that chalky goodness

Have a few martinis then consult Mr Webster. He’ll show you the way of the Pizzle.

Quirt me baby. Sate that desire with grin wicked and curve divine.

Trée: I think I’m going to be ill… And it’s going to take many Martinis for breakfast before I recover…
I’d hate to think what google will make of the comments on this post!
February 24th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
hehe, on the old blog I had all these stop bots tags hidden everywhere. It actually worked!
love this song. Devo are great, of course!

Mez: It’s amazing what happens behind the scenes when you look at the access logs. Fascinating world, and annoying until you kick their arses!
Love Devo, and this song can never die!
