Speaking of sports, this little snippet summarizes Saturday's game quite nicely.

Spree - four second video clip of Barry Ferguson receiving dog's abuse.

Of course, my bet is that this is just a lame break-up excuse gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Damn. Clearly dating people you meet via the internet is only for losers and suckers!

They haven't improved with repetition either.

Yes, which is why I stick with the time honored meet-a-guy-in-a-bar-and-go-home-with-him-two-hours-later approach. A little old-fashioned, I admit, but it still gets results.

Wouldn't be Utopia otherwise, right?

This is as good a post as any to use to ask if anyone watched 'Curb' last night. The big vagina gesture is sure to catch on. I can't wait to use it.*

*Not in Utopia, of course, where all the Vaginas are tight.

Alas, no. Nor did I look at the text at the top of the picture. What can I say?

AoN, using a "v" instead of a "u" is almost as mvch fvn as the whole "f" for "s" thingy.

What happened (besides the whole fall of the Roman empire and all that)? did Lucius find out about his wife's cheating? I am a few episodes back.

In Detroit we'd have thrown some beer at the fucker.

It seems hard to believe this could be true, given that this strategy, particularly of hiring hot people to send out on dates, can't in any way be cost-effective. I could believe spam emails with fake profiles and maybe hiring someone to correspond for a few days while the subscription hopefully gets renewed but even that seems dubious.

Why don't we assign the fake newber sock to investigate this on our behalf?

Do you want me to spoil it? I think not.

I will note that Ceasar does not get his "et tu, Brute?" line, which I found surprising, especially since they included the old "sic semper tyrannis" bit at the right place. Not that anyone speaks latin, as you know -- they all have vaguely British accents.

Why not? The article says they'd hire someone to go out on 100 dates in a month (I think). How much would that cost vs. the benefit of re-upping 100 (or even 60) subscriptions at $30/month for a full year? Ten percent? Plus, I'm sure they only pay the "dates" if they actually succeed in getting the "sucker," I mean, client re-signed.
