If you want the martini to be a little salty and earthy… just add olive juice for a “dirty” martini.

@seefish3 – yeah, most of the filtering is actually done to combat spam, rather than censor comments for being inappropriate.

To illustrate the point, if a spammer uses “girls” in the comment and hit the blog with hundreds of comments, then the engine will filter out everything with “girls” and put them in moderation until we get tired of having to clear valid comments with the word “girls” in it and manually clean the filtered keyword. By then, the spam blast would’ve been over.

Mind you, we have Akismet that filters out 99% of the spammy comments already. You’re caught by the blog’s secondary filter.

Hi, kids. Can you say “chain restaurants are striving to regain the public eye virally”? I can.

It’s definitely gross, but you’ve got to give them points for trying! Plus, except for the BBQ sauce and ‘McNugg’ on the rim, a vodka infused chocolate shake doesn’t sound that bad…

Got to admit, if I ate meat, I’d be all over this. It’s like a Happy Meal in a glass.

I’d rather have some free range chicken roasted with some garlic and rosemary under the skin, and then a martini made with a good tasting gin.

Gross or not, you have to admire girls who will put practically anything in their mouths.

I just barfed all over my keyboard – which unfortunately had an adorable kitten sitting on it.

Thanks Alex. Just curious which combination of girl, vomit , and fifteen, was offensive, but I wasn’t even thinking of spam filtering!

@seefish3 – moderation is triggered by excessive links or presence of certain keywords. The keywords can be quite unusual (and not the thing that you thought would incur moderation) – this is because it has been used in the past in spam attempts, so we keep an eye on ‘em.

We used to moderate for, shall we say, salty language, but that turned out to be too big of a task without a dedicated moderator.

I like the sound of that…but I’ve also been known to dip a fry in a frosty.

seefish3 – on a related note, I occasionally get paused for moderation for no discernable reason.
Alex – if only to save yourself time in the future it may be a good idea to drop commenters a note to explain what it was that caused the filter to throw a wobbly so we can try to avoid it in future.
Assuming the filter tells you, of course.

Anyone who lovingly refers to that crap as “McNuggs” is probably a disgusting, unhealthy person. Barf.

If I was hypothetically confronted with drinking either cow/goat blood or this, I would go with the cow/goat blood.

How much pot does one have to smoke for this to be; a.) a good idea
b.) something you would want to eat/drink?

Anyone else remember the Morkarita? Tequila blended with bologna and mustard around the rim?

My first thought was “Bleh.” Then I read the recipe and was 100% sure my first reaction was right.

Alex, what the heck is your moderation trigger set to anyway?

People drop the f-word like a bad habit in these comments, but the above gets flagged? I don’t get it…

You girls forgot a step:

Then, projectile vomit for fifteen minutes, or until stomach is empty.
