Okay, I’ll ‘fess up. I decided that if I’m spending any of my energy on dating, I might as well take a broad focus about it and make my match profile visible again also. The one caveat: I’m not going on the hunt, but rather just looking at what comes my way.
Of course, […]

As I recently wrote, I’ve been on a dating hiatus. I’m easing up on that a bit (already?), and taking up my father’s offer for six months on eHarmony. So far, I’m finding that eH has a (much) broader audience now than it did in the early days, when it was almost exclusively […]

I couldn’t pass this one up — click the image:

From wordsmith.org:
This week’s theme: fear and desire.
theomania (thee-o-MAY-nee-uh, -MAIN-yuh) noun
The belief that one is God or specially chosen by God on a mission.

This mania often strikes rulers of nations and is highly recommended when planning to attack other nations. It soothes conscience, clears the […]

(Would somebody please help me with this title? I can’t for the life of me think of how a Canadian might say it. Stupid, I know.
….
Thanks, Arwen — a gen-u-ine Canadian helped me retitle.)

You’re Canada!
People make fun of you a lot, but they’re stupid because you’ve got a much better life than they […]

Swiped from Arwen, here’s a meme developed by TopBoy:
This is a surrealist game I’ve been working with my friend Ana. It’s an electronic update of the classic surrealist questions game “the exquisite corpse”. The idea is that you answer all the questions by typing your answer into Google Image search and post the answer in […]

From the comments section on a recent post at The Happy Feminist:

I am reminded of a joke I heard once (from a Republican):
It seems Dubya takes his job more seriously than one might expect from his results. After one particularly hard day he says to himself, “If only I could be guided by the spirits […]

Ian McKellen’s response to those who would put a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie:
“I’ve often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer at the front saying ‘This is fiction.’” McKellen responded. “I mean walking on water? I mean, it takes an act of faith.”
…
McKellen went on to say he found the Bible “somewhat […]

Sure looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster to me:

The Shangri-La diet in comic form, courtesy Calorie Lab.

A couple years ago, I was sitting at the table with my bro/SIL and their kids, and one of the items on my niece’s plate was cucumber. “You’re going to eat Larry!” I told her.
Boy, did I get some nasty looks.

This would mean a lot more to me if I actually read comic books, but I can’t argue with the short description. Looking back at NN’s results, I see that we run opposite on many of the characters; I’m guessing that has a lot to do with introversion versus extraversion.

This has to be the best fuel-economy quip I’ve seen. Ever.

I love listening for the April Fool’s Day story on NPR each year…but this year did they have to be so obvious about it?

There are times I really wonder if this isn’t true.
