Hold the comically oversized mobile phone: this video of men recording their profiles for a video dating service in what appears to be the early ’80s is too good to be true. I know I haven’t gotten into fashion much yet this week, but consider this a primer on what taking a risk will net [...]

Dating in Parallel

If your dating life seems out of sorts, it’s only because you’ve not properly wired your relationships. I’ll follow Brownlee’s lead and let this gem sparkle on its own:
Let’s let V be potential difference between dating girls and doing something productive, I be current of love, and R be resistance to current flow. The problem [...]

Horse Apples

This morning I called Susie “Horse Apple,” which she took to be a euphemism for shit, but is actually what we used to call the Osage orange when growing up. The moral: Always have a cover story. [Wikipedia]

If you’re in the Atlanta area and you’ve always fantasized about having sex while flying, your time is now, you kinky monkey. Enter: Mile High Atlanta, a strange little venture operated out of the West Georgia Regional Airport near Carrollton, GA—a stone’s throw from Atlanta.
For $300, you and your partner will be [...]

Ten Cool and Random Valentines

Roses are Red
Violence is Cool
I spent the last hour
Finding this crap for you.
Joel thought it would be a nifty post to troll the web and come up with the top five best valentines around, build a post about it. It was a good idea, but in my search I discovered that the sweet ones were [...]

What is Cheaters, you ask? It’s apparently the inverse of most reality dating shows, where camera crews follow around folks who have been caught cheating. If you guys would have watched more of the videogame programming, G4 wouldn’t have been forced to go this far afield from their initial passion.
That’s right: you made them stray.
A [...]

Some person apparently just found an unopened box of SF 2 valentines cards in his mother’s house.
The date reads that this edition came out in 1994, the same year as that sad motion picture of the same name which featured the wonderful Raul Julia as the wicked villain M. Bison (the character featured here). [...]

What better way to spend the most romantic night of the Hallmark year than to go watch other species copulate in captivity?
From ABC News, Chicago:
Valentine’s Day is the time of year when zoos around the nation seek to woo a new adult audience with risqué tours that couple champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and candlelight dining [...]

I get a kick out of these emails sent out by promotional organizations, filled with survey-based fact lists that reporters (and lazy bloggers) eat up. For example, the National Confections Association did a survey and then sent out all the factoids—they don’t mention the survey sample size, sadly [Update: they said it was "1,000 random [...]

Bad Valentine’s Day Ideas

Over at bad valentine, there is a tidy list of bad, really bad, and downright insulting Valentine’s Day gift ideas, in case you were looking to break up with your wife, girlfriend, mistress. Some of these, like the “Armed” jacket post from yesterday, may well get you shot for your trouble. Might want to stick [...]

I wanted to hate every single one of these “sexy” Apple-themed videos (as collected by 10Z:(|)’s Lou Cabron), but they’re all charming in their own way, even this douchy music video from—get ready for it—”Setty Smooth.”
The whole “The Mac” song and video is just earnest enough to be creepy, but whatever—he got four hot girls [...]

Last week was romance, but y’know, some boys wait until the last minute to pull something out of the hat. It happens in my family every year at Christmas, maybe yours too. That’s a big holiday. Valentine’s day is not so big…to you, perhaps. To the new girl or old lady in your life, different [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
