Seriously? I just visited. What should I do?

I clicked on the first link and it tried to install something on my computer. And I have pop-up/spyware blockers.

3 - Well, I got a window that was like "do you want to install ___ on your computer?" and a smaller window opened in the background. If you didn't see that, it might not have tried to install it. Could be a Firefox vs. IE thing. (I only have IE on my computer because it's a work computer and that's the corporate standard, etc., whatever.) I killed all of my IE processes through the task manager.

If it didn't prompt you to install, I'm guessing you're OK.

You're infected with Tamil spyware, Timbot, the very worst kind.

Ah, I'm using Firefox and didn't see anything.

Now that ogged's infected me, what should I do now? How do I know if I caught something? Did your spyware blocker tell you want spyware it was trying to install?

Sorry, 12 was a little harsh. It just sounded like you were getting a little hysterical. If we were IRL, I would have just given you a light smack across the face to get you to snap out of it. With love, of course.

It's like the Vizzini's blunder that got dropped from The Princess Bride: Dick around with a Persian long enough, and you're going to catch something.

I tried it in IE with pop-up blocking on and off. Still nothing. Has it occurred to you, Becks, that you might have been infected before I came along?

She just yelled at you, Tim, because she totally overreacted and decided to make it seem like you were the one freaking out.

That line didn't work the last time you tried it on me, either.

Everyone will know, Becks, that if you were easy enough to sleep with me, there's no way you made it into your twenties without a little touch of something.

Why is no one chiding ogged for being mean to lonely Tamils? For shame, ogged; even the foreign and the nonfluent need love.

I have never felt compelled to browse personal ads. I once was hanging out with someone browsing Craig's List ads, but those were for prostitutes, and I would say over the half reason I was doing that was because I expected the guy to break down and order a prostitute any minute now. Does this make me strange, or ogged, or both?

That, my friend, is funny. Because it's true. (Except, I guess, for the cheater.)

There's funny shit to be found there. I put up a Myspace profile a while back so I could get messages/see pics from my little sister who is on there all the time. Surfing people's profiles can be very entertaining, if you're mean like me.

When I think of Tamils, I think of 1) the lovely Maya Arulpragasam and 2) how senile Arthur Clarke has become in his old age. I do not fear Tamils, but I do fear senility.

Twisted, freakish, and lopsy-gogged

He don't care about the dose Tim gets.

Why not pick on Kazakhs instead?

"My name Borat. I like you. I like sex. It's a nice." etc...

The Kazakhs briefly had nuclear ICBMs. Things could be worse.

The Kazakhs get picked on enough. It's high time the Tamils got their turn.

When most educated Americans hear the word "Tamil," they think of the Tamil Tigers, originators of suicide bombing, and all around fierce foes.

Seriously? How sad. I grew up studying Bharat Natyam, which was best preserved in Tamil Nadu, so I associate the Tamilians with incredibly beautiful and talented women like these, the ones in my life being fond of kicking my ass if I didn't pick up my feet properly. Also, Ramanujan, Raman, Chandrashekar (like the satellite) and M. Night Shyamalan. Also idli, dosa, and coconut chutney.

I'm sure most educated Americans are aware that there's more to Tamil culture than the LTTE (although those of us who are unfortunately not very well informed about India in general may not be aware of the specific cultural background of various prominent figures), but the fighting in Sri Lanka is the context in which we generally hear about the Tamils in the media so that's what comes to mind first. Sad but true.

I mean, when you hear "Northern Ireland" what do you think of first, Seamus Heaney or the IRA?
