[...] guess this post is a bit trade show related. I’ve noticed that my blog must be becoming a bit famous, at least based on the amount of spam comments I am getting. It used to be a few spam comments a [...]

Hey Internet Strategist,
Anyone that mentions me on their blog gets a free one time pass from my comment rule. Next time I’d just ask that you put a name at the end of your comment (like I do in all my replies) so I know how I’m replying to. As to what I use for my own comment link, you should know that rules never apply to the one that makes the rules. ~ Steve

The title you used got me here so it must have worked! (Especially since I’m not interested in famous people anyway – go figure.)

I read your entertaining comment policy and liked it so much I’ve added it to my recent post on commenting and shared your blog at FriendFeed and Twitter.

I like your blog and I’d like to comment. Everywhere I travel online I use Internet Strategist as my “name” except in one blog I frequent where the owner agreed to let me use GrowMap (less of a keyword phrase).

Perhaps you’ll consider granting me a Friend of the Guru exemption. Like everyone I get busy and don’t make the rounds regularly – except to the bloggers that leave comments in my blog. That reminds me to visit them and then I share their new stuff.

Feel free to edit out any of the above if you approve this comment – or keep it – whatever you prefer. I notice that your name is The Trade Show Guru.

hi drivelocity,
Policy Academy #6? Did they make that many of them? I think I saw the first two, maybe three. And Judge Dredd… how many years ago was that? I think Sly should have been happy with the Rocky series and stopped… ~ Steve

Congrats on the win… I’ve only won two things from the radio – Police Academy 6? tickets and the Judge Dredd soundtrack. You know you’re jealous…

Hey Brian,
I had the same thought too, that when asked that age-old question of “what radio station is the best” I would draw a blank or name the wrong one.
Seeing Dwight and Tanya both… cool. I saw Bo Derek once at a local department store. I didn’t talk to her. I also saw the helicopter pilot from Lost last year at the Burbank airport. Didn’t talk to him either… ~ Steve

Hi Steve, that’s a great story. Writing talent combined with an interesting topic. It’s cool to win stuff. Like you, I’ve never called in on one of those radio show contests. If I did I would almost certanly get the most important question weong, “Ok Brian, what’s your favorite radio station?” How embarrassing would that be?

I was a long haul truck driver for a while and back in the mid nineties in Nashville I met Dwight Yoakam in an Arby’s of all places. He seemed pretty quiet and shy. Before that I met Tanya Tucker at a truck stop in Kentucky. Actually, I just watched her in a crowed of drivers. I din’t talk to either of them.

Hi Mitch,
Thanks for stopping by! We got our tickets in the mail, and will probably go closer to my son’s birthday. I don’t think our “winnings” will actually be reported to the government because they’re so small. I think the paperwork is really for people that win bigger prizes, but everyone has to fill it out, which is extremely annoying to a guy like me. ~ Steve

That’s a great story, and I hope you still get to go on your trip, even with all that stuff. Yeah, the government is going to get its cut every single time; weasels.

hi Jackie,
I don’t think Mick changes. I pretty sure he’s immortal. Thanks for stopping by! ~ Steve
