I have several local races with only a single Republican candidate.

It doesn't matter if I write John Smith or Harambe, it isn't like the one on the ticket is going to lose and at least I got to vent a little. Best case the news does a little story on funny write in candidates.

Argh, why didn't I think of doing that?

Vote for "Pleasegod Anyoneelse"

Yup, there's a legitimate purpose to spoiling your ballot

Write in candidates don't spoil a ballot.

They do depending on what you write in, and writing in a candidate that's not eligible is spoiling adjacent if not outright spoiling

Yeah, the same way that rare is adjacent to eating raw meat.
