perplexed by blogger

I was just wandering through my old gmail address (I had been suggested a random strange address by gmail when I signed up and my real name wasn't available, I used it for 3-4 years and then decided I could actually do better using my full name as my gmail address, don't know whether I regret that or not but now I have a number of things attached to that gmail address, such as this blog, and occasionally check it) and I found a notification from blogger that, a la the problem I noted in my previous post, a post of mine had been removed a few months ago (I think) as unsuitable and not conforming to blogger's standards.

I tracked down the post and examined it. It was a short, very ill-formed musing on the old revival cinemas such as the Ritz, the Valhalla, the Longford etc which I used to go to in the 70s. Blogger might have wanted to remove it for being stunningly pedestrian but I don't think that's covered in their community standards. I actually would not give a loose root if that post was deleted forever as it had no particular value and was probably written just as a prelude to possibly going forth and visiting a new Valhalla-themed event that was being publicised at the time. The raunchiest and most controversial element was the mentioning of the name of film advertised in the poster illustrated above. I would love to know what the bloggerbot objected to in that post - I've asked for it to be reviewed after I changed the s-word to an s-asterisk-x word, we'll see what happens, but then again as I check that email address about once a year, maybe we won't. 

weird shit

I did actually have a big productive work day today, but nevertheless I didn't necessarily earn the right to spend hour upon hour watching Mr Inbetween and drawing. I think I am going to have to remove the person doing the toasting's teeth as they look too much like lips. That's probably because teeth don't actually follow the edges of one's mouth, but sit behind the mouth opening. Learn something new every day. 

In other news (I know I said I wouldn't obsess over viewing stats but seriously...) this is one of the most viewed of my blog entries this week. It must be for some other weird reason than its content, which is as meaningless now in 2021 as it was in 2007 or whenever I posted it. I am assuming it's something like - someone has a code book and they are given the URL for that post and some numbers that refer to words in the sentences and they put together a new sentence from the components, either the words themselves or letters perhaps in the words, which refer to other concepts. I DON'T KNOW! All I know is there is no reason why 20+ people would want to read that stupid blog post in the last couple of days.
