You know how sometimes you go to a site and see what seems like it just can't be a natural link or review?

So I'm reading the web, and this one just seems like the blogger sold out. Personally, I think he took water coolers as payment, the link is only there because of a bribe. In Montana they say "God made whiskey for drinking and water for fighting over," and this blogger is trying to corner the market in water. What tipped me off was "Mr. Roses is a really good flower place, and here's his info, just like he wanted me to copy it in the email he sent me.:".

But what do you think? Here's the URL so you can make your own judgment: http://www.walkonmypath.com/mr-roses.html It gets worse - apparently this blogger was also offered a #1 position on Google in exchange for the link I just showed you: http://www.walkonmypath.com/mr-roses...hange-spammer/

Check the first link ( mr-roses.html ) first. The second is back story.

for me it's a spam... just don't mint it.

HEY! I happen to know Peter personally and he never sells out. He might quit, he might be the crappiest boxer Northern Manitoba has ever seen...but a sellout? NO!

Don't all you Canadians know each other?

I'm surprised to hear he isn't a good boxer. I would have thought his distraction technique would be a winner?

"Don't all you Canadians know each other?"

lol, that's Americans for you - no sense of Geography lol. Except for their Military who seems to know where everything is and wins every battle...

Someone send him an atlas so he can find out how big canada is... sorry us Brits have got to take every chance to slag the yanks off we can get (there's only 1 thing every year we're better than them at...lol It's been geography for the past 7 years...)

Anyway, it does sound like a promo to me. Although there's no affiliate link or anything so it might just be his friend or he really likes it????

??? I thought Canada was only as big as New Jersey.

Actually, the guy who wrote that knows geography all too well. Dude bores us all to tears every chance he gets to ramble on about places.

He was poking fun at Adam. Stick around and you'll see Adam is a pretty darn likable guy, and really funny. People like to engage in humor with him.

That out of the way, I don't blame you Beatles for having to cause a row with the Yanks. Our monkey cost you your Tony Blair.

Getting back on topic, it doesn't look like a link exchange to me - it looks like a retarded boxer who took a few too many punches to the dome (head) got tricked.

"Actually, the guy who wrote that knows geography all too well"

okay, but if he knows geography can you be sure he's an American? If he knows where Canada is the US need to promote him to foreign secetary quickly!

"I don't blame you Beatles for having to cause a row with the Yanks. Our monkey cost you your Tony Blair."

Well, Tony wasn't totally blameless. He screwed up on more than a few issues not related to the war. And anyway, you'd expect a british prime minister to have some balls and at least not aspire to be america's lap dog. he really, really loved addressing the american public - you can tell he thought they were better than the British public due to their healthy tans and limitless coca cola.

We sure do. There are only about 8 of us, you know.

people-finding: Forrest knows quite a bit about Canadian geography, since he lives in Seattle (which is close to Vancouver, for those unfamiliar with North American geography). He's just poking fun.

I...on the other hand...am a vindictive jackass who hates spammers.

Well if someone wants to make me an offer, I'll think it over.

I can assure you I'm an American; I was born in Denver and went over the Continental Divide for the first time when I was 11 days old. I've driven between the Atlantic and Pacific half a dozen times; one of them took two months, and not because I was lost. I've been to Canada several times, to Montreal, places outside Quebec, and all over Vancouver.

I'm dieing to do more international traveling, but there's enough of my own backyard I haven't seen yet, that I feel like I really should take care of that first. I've only been to about 35 of our 50 states. I have yet to see Alaska, and I'd really like to go back and spend more time in the Ozarks, plus a few other places. Then I need to make up for lost time around the rest of the world.

My web site is pretty well traveled, though ... I've had visitors from places as remote as Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The entire country has 500 miles of paved roads, and I've had about a dozen unique visitors ... I'm a bit proud of that.

Make that a well respected maven who entertains the rest of us while keeping the web honest.
