Oh that's just too bad

"Artist"? Really?

Since I moved to a new city, Meetup.com has become a big part of my life.  Each week I get an email listing new groups and meetings; and even though I probably don't fit the target member profile I couldn't help checking out the Raleigh-Durham Pick Up Artist group.  Here's the description of their first meeting.  Would any of these tactics work on you?

Here’s some of the topics we’re going to cover

1. Practice walking up to an attractive woman at a supermarket and getting her phone #. ("Hey, are you good at accepting compliments from complete strangers?" (yeah) "Sweet, me too. You go first, compliment me...."
2. Learn what to say to a woman at a bar to make her laugh, so you can get a date with her. ("Are you shy or something? Because I've been standing here for around ten minutes and you still haven't said Hi to me..."
3. Learn how to pick up women during the day, while you're out living your life, like in a fast-food line ("Damn…I-AM-SICK of this fast food…do you know how to cook??)

Whaddyameanbythat?

What is Facebook telling me?

Great Pumpkin Turns Vandal

I always get a little tee-hee from this blog, Best of the Bozeman Chronicle Police Reports, that compiles humorously innocuous crimes from the town's police blotter. This one puzzled me- who is he complaining about?

Simple joys

The previous occupant of my apartment had a rabbit. Today I got one of her catalogs, where I noticed this innovative product.
