Here's the story

of a girl named Kelly,
who was bored, and had nothing to do,
so she went to Technorati and typed in "Amalah,"
and her eyes received a punch.

Here's the (fakestolenwordforword ) story
Of a girl named Claudia,
who totally ripped off Amalah's posts
Amalah had great posts,
like a poet, her stats would eat yours for lunch.

Then a new email was quickly opened,
and after doing a furious archives search,
it was determined that this was not the nanny,
That's the way Amalah found out about her plagiarizer.

The little thief,
du du du du duh

the little nutjob.

du du du du duh

Thats the waaaaaaaaaay Amalah got three hundred comments yesterday. 

End Brady Bunch song....

When the search results came up, there was a post by Amalah, with her name under it.  Then two results down, there were the exact same words, but it wasn't Amalah's website above it.  It was "Claudia's" website.  I think Technorati was picking up the outbound link from the hotlinked tire photo.  Claudia skillfully used the tire and then segued into the post about watching Blues Clues,  complete with the exact same pictures, except she called Noah, Cody and hotlinked the picture at the bottom, that showed the top of Amalah's head, to a picture on Amazon. 

All her friends thought she was so "LOL" and "U are soooooooooo kwel" and "this is my favorite, LOL!!!!" 

That people, is the unauthorized story of how I became the Internet's super sleuth (at least for the next two days or so.)

Who's going to send me a cape, or a monocle, or a little notebook (I would like a pink sparkley one with a feather pen)?

Oh....My....God....you were linked on Amalah. You are now famous. Let me touch you. I cannot believe it. I know a celebrity blogger, and her name is Mrs. CPA. Oh, and the Brady Bunch song in your post, was very well written. Rock on sistah of my heart!! CPAs RULE

I got here from Mr Nice Guy's site that linked me to Amalah's site. Wanted to thank you for kicking some ass. Down with plagiarism!!! :-)

[Andreia]

That is so bizarre. Who would do that?

[debi]

That's an interesting story. I would never have thunk a person would try to steal a blog. Good for you!

[cagey]

I totally Heart you, Nancy Drew!

P.S. I was thinking about you today as I was furiously tickmarking my TV Chart for Fall 2007 because um, Zoot does special color-coded stuff for HER chart, but the "We're On a Break" CPA in me can't do things in COLOR because what if I need to make a copy for a partner, a peer review or GOD FORBID, a Client?

[cagey]

Oops, obviously I meant Fall 2006.

[Busy Mom]

You are totally like Columbo or something, great work!!

[Silly Hily]

Bada, ba, ba, baaaaaa...I'm lovin' it.
Here's the story, of a girl name Kelly, who totally helped kick some Claudia ass.
You totally need to get a sparkly, pink, feathered pen and take a picutre with it and set that as your profile pic you secret CPA woman (gedit, instead of secret agent man...slaps knee).
You rock!

[Silly Hily]

HA! And on your sidebar....talk about being caught with your pants down.

[Andrea]

All Amalah readers heart Mrs. CPA!! And the resulting frenzy that came of it definitely made my work day much more interesting yesterday!!!

[Mrs. Flinger]

AWESOME, shuga. Aweomse. I'm glad people are out there to tell the people in the right when people in the wrong are being little asses. :-)

[msugal86]

Plagiarizing blogs. Now that is really insane.

[starrynite]

You are so cool. Well done Mrs. Super Sleuth. I enjoyed the drama of the whole "Claudia" situation so much (despite being OUTRAGED that she would steal from our preshus Amalah) and have discovered lots of new and exciting blogs through it.

So yah boo sucks to Claudia! And snaps to Mrs. CPA.
