I have a couple of simple content sites served by WordPress blogs.  Due to the nature of the content (if you get my drift) I wasn’t expecting a lot of lively discussion so I didn’t activate Akismet.  However just for grins I left comments open with comment moderation on.  As you may expect, thousands of spam “comments” have been left by people and bots (almost exclusively bots) with varii junk phrases and sentences.  However I found the odd gem which, on a real blog, could have been mistaken for a real comment made by a real person.

So here are the best of thousands which stood apart from the obvious auto-generated word junk, looked like, smelled like and almost walked like real comments or are beguiling enough with fake praise to be mistaken for a real live person reading and caring about your most recent drivel.
