I don’t know who “Laura” of “Laura’s Blog” is, but it occurs to me that cracking Blogrolling is a remarkably bad idea. I sense a ‘sphere-wide butt-kicking is about to be administered.
No, I’m not providing an actual clickable HREF link to the site – rockergirl.zapto.org – but I’d swear I’ve been spammed from these “people” before.
[I use the word “people” in its broadest possible sense.]
[I’ll give the folks at Blogrolling time to restore from their backups — they had better have backups — before I reconfigure my blogrolls.]
UPDATE: I’m tending to suspect this is something third-party-ish. Or maybe [probably?] a problem in Blogrolling’s databases. There’s a disclaimer up on the “Laura’s Blog” site.
There will be a butt-kicking — but let’s make sure the right butt is the recipient.

Jeff is a guy whose story rings wholly true to me – because I’ve been there.
I was stationed in Korea where, being a very tall person, I was always the object of much comment from the local populace. Usually, it was commentary on my size, added to the fact that I was one of those “big-nose Americans.”
Being a linguist, I often could tell what they were saying. It was not, as I mentioned, always terribly polite.
Being an occasionally cruel SOB, I would occasionally turn to the commenter and, in Korean, ask “Why do you say such things?”
The look of shock, horror, embarrassment and sheer mortification on their faces was utterly priceless.
Heh. Heheh.
It made the 12 months of language school all worthwhile.
…
So I’m casting my vote in New Weblog Showcase for Jeff’s Ruminations in Korea: A Blessing and a Curse.
Also worth noting is eTALKINGHEAD.com: The Misleading Statements of a Misleading Misleader.
