Roadkill, rabies, and ROMANCE!
I have been bombarded with pop-ups since my computer has been sick with whatever it has decided to infest itself with. One of the pop-ups unfortunately sent me to the “Dating” section in MSN’s homepage. Along with the “love over 40” and “personal ads” I saw an interesting article which I decided to read. The article was “5 budget dating strategies”. This caught my attention since I hate having people spend money on me…especially those very few (and I mean very few) times I go on dates. Anyway, I started reading and thought I would share some of there expert “advice” for things to do with your loved ones. They listed five ideas, but I will only talk about the ones I liked…why…because I can. (1) Instead of taking your date to a 5 star restaurant the article suggests that “urbanites” should go upon the streets, catch a pigeon, clean it, and cook it on their waffle irons. The article then suggested for those who live in rural areas (this would be us!) to pine the state highways (with your loved one) for roadkill. And once you find the perfect animal you can look up recipes on the internet. (this one, I must admit was my favorite). For all you fellows out there reading my journal…here is some advice from me! I am just guessing here, but if you dare try that, most girls will probably never speak to you again. Some may find it humorous but I even doubt that. It is far from romantic, or more importantly, even farther from being sanitary. This is one quick way to infest yourself and your loved one with a nasty case of rabies. However that may be the ultimate test of love. I think sharing a small bowl of Ramen noodles is much better…and it only cost 25 cents. (2) The second one was to take your girlfriend to a poetry reading to “score some sensitive guy points”. I just have one comment on that….LAAAMMMEEE! (Don’t do that either!) (3) The third one was to watch people in the streets. Which I was like “finally something decent” until it mentioned that it would be so entertaining to get a “front row seat” in which you could here “perps pleading out misdemeanors”. The other 2 suggestion were equally as lame. What saddens me is that the article was not a joke. Too bad, it had more humor potential than actual worthwhile advice. Maybe it was a joke and I am too dense to pick up on it. I am guilable...but I would rather believe that there men out there that think those ideas are wonderful. It helps me sleep at night. Well, if you want the article link just tell me and I will send it too you.
