Has anyone tried it and liked it?

I put a lot of stuff in my ad meant to scare off guys, but still got a bunch of responses from dummies who listened to country music and wanted to take me to an amusement park on our first date.

Did you save their numbers? Because they sound perfect for me. Amusement parks are the best.

The couple that I married on New Years Day met on Match.com. Her profile was up for quite awhile before she got a decent response, and he is a painfully shy guy. He'd been going to her profile every day for weeks, and it went down for a few days. He panicked and e-mailed her immediately when she noticed that her profile was down. Their first date was 11 hours long at two restaurants and a coffee house.

Now this makes sense to me. It seems like a great place to meet someone if you are very shy. I think shy people get a raw deal. If you're a good-looking guy and overly shy, you get overlooked because women tend to like confident (do not read: arrogant), outgoing men. If you're a good-looking woman and you're shy, you are automatically a bitch.

Tan lines? Who the fuck cares? Maybe, maybe they could be relevant if you've a habit of fuking under huge flourescent lights.

Damnit, why did I just answer this? I scrolled through tons of posts and wound up answering this piece of shit? I want my two minutes back. Damn you...

PS: I must have a brain tumor. I just spelled fuck wrong.

Fuke you.

I don't like overly tanned women or fake tanning, but I do like a mild, healthly looking, outside-in-a-swimsuit-a-lot tan. And, then, yeah, I think tan lines are hot. Opinions vary. I think a lot of guys think that no tan lines ("Oh my god, she tans naked!") are hotter.

What's the problem? I explain a commercial Hank doesn't get with a single post and now I'm a big prick. There are plenty of other reasons to call me a prick, but I was just explaining an aspect of the commercial somebody missed, and then talking about tan lines. I can't believe that's more of a waste of your time than most of the shit on here.

"Shy girl really just a bitch."

That's probably the eleventeenth time I've posted that, and it still makes me laugh. Back when The Onion was good.*

According to an article in yesterday's New York Times (go ahead, it's the Times, man -- IT people will think you're an intellectual), ABC will air a reality show exploiting the 37% of Americans who lack health insurance. Or at least the telegenic ones. Maybe cute, saucer-eyed kids who have some fatal disease. Or maybe a hot chick, who has whatever killed Ali McGraw in Love Story -- you know, something fatal but which causes her atractiveness to blossom. At any rate, watching these people grovel for medical care should be a real hoot.

From the article:

• [ABC] agreed late last week to place an initial order of six episodes for a program with the working title "Miracle Workers," according to two people who were briefed on the deal but who said being identified by name might scuttle the project. In the program, a team of physicians will scour the country seeking people who urgently need medical care but do not have the wherewithal to obtain it.

just my opinion

This seems somehow qualitatively different than Extreme Makeover.

But maybe it's the answer to the looming, but ignored in favor of paying attention to the actually and scarily more solvable Social Security stuff, Medicare crisis!

It's sick how my first thought is "I wonder what the HIPAA implications are for a show like this." And sicker still that I think it's probably a pretty cool idea for a show. I desperately need a vacation.
