post the funny stuff you find!


and to this I can, horribly, creepily relate.

To the fat, sweaty man with the curl in his hair and the impossible dream in his probably hypertrophied heart:
You are obviously the type who would pour all of his hope and loneliness into a missed connection ad, so I figured I would beat you to the punch and save you some time, some anxious waiting, and many miles of pretend jogging. For several days in a row now you have taken great pains (I can hear you wheezing old boy, you should look into an inhaler) to orchestrate a series of "coincidences" between you and me. I open the door, I unlock the security gate, and there you are without fail right next to my stairs, smiling up at me, suddenly stopping to mop your glistening brow and bending over for a breather, exhaling triumphantly as if you've just broken that untouchable record you set for Georgetown track and field so many years ago. Yes, I know you bleed Hoya blue.

So I have a few questions for you, running man. First off, who do you think you're fooling? Do you expect me to believe that the Fates want so badly for us to unite our energies that our lives are running on synchronized, parallel courses that allow you to be "jogging" up to my steps at the exact moment I happen to be leaving for work everyday? Bitch, please. I mean, I'm a young lady of considerable imaginative capabilities, but this is more far fetched than the plot of "Encino Man". I know you are a fake jogger and a real creep because sometimes I leave at 9 am, and sometimes I leave well after 10. You clearly don't run for 2 hours every morning, as your heaving beer belly is the first sweet inch of your physique I see when you approach. I have good reason to believe you wait in that car that is always at the corner for the sound of my door opening, and I know that you look at my ass everytime I pass you. My last question to you is, what kind of game do you think you're going to run on me? You clearly don't have a job if you have all this free time to take to the streets, you are pasty and dull, and you look way too old for that iPod. I am a precocious, nubile, 18-year-old scientist with more achievements to her credit than you could shake your jowls at.
So, old boy, I advise you to find a new route for your fake jogging, or just something else to do with your time. Lifetime is now showing the follow up series to Golden Girls -- The Golden Palace. It's pretty funny, and Don Cheadle is on it. Yeah, I know, I don't get it either, but you should watch it, because here's what: it wouldn't take more than a pack of cigarettes to coerce that junkie with the push cart full of Tidy Cat and trash bags to punch you in your fat neck if you don't watch it.

Fondly,
Girl in the White Brick House

I actually read that a few weeks ago or something.

Genius... I should place one to ward off my own stalker. She was out again tonight... ignored me... then caught her staring psychotically at me again. It's a worry.

YOu laugh, but what if the poor guy isn't a stalker, but genuinely doesn't know how to approach a woman. There are lots of people with that problem. I count myself among them.

I'm overweight too, and one thing I've learned about women (in general) is that whatever they may spout about caring about personality, and sense of humor, they don't really look at you if you don't fit their physical requirements.

Keep in minf this is generalized, and not every woman is like that. But far too many are. And too many of them, whether they shoudl or not, seem to think they are much better looking than they really are.

One more thing, it seems to have become common to refer to someone who likes you, that you don't like, as a stalker. Maybe the poor sap just doesn't get it and is trying to contrive a way to meet you. But, no, we'd rather be sarcastic, and "witty" and belittle that person and try to shame them into never bothering you again.

Okay, sorry, I'm ranting again.

BTW, this is exaclty why I determined I needed to grow a spine and just jump right in and not worry about rejection. you can hold your head up high and not let it get you down, or you can become this guy abnd have people make fun of you.
