September 18, 2008 - I must have mised something

Apparently there was a memo circulated, or maybe a commercial that ran on a channel that I don't watch, but I must have missed whatever it was that said "abortion clinics are the places to meet women."

I thought that the Craigslist missed connection for the balding man at the abortion clinic was pretty much an isolated incident. Who would think otherwise?

Well, think otherwise my friends, because today someone gave me the link to a website called OverheardinNewYork. As with the Craigslist ad, I cannot speak to the veracity of what's being posted (Was a girl in daisy dukes really looking for her Prince Charming in a wifebeater and sweatpants outside of an abortion clinic??), but if it is true, we are are a sorry, sorry state.

As reported from a bathroom at Fordham University:

Dude #1: ...so do you think I can have dibs on her, or is that not a good idea?
Dude #2: What do you mean?
Dude #1: Well, she had an abortion six weeks ago.
Dude #2: Oh dude, what are you doing!?
Dude #1: Yeah, but can't she not get pregnant because she just had an abortion?
Dude #2: Oh, that's a good point. I don't think that works like that...
Dude #1: But it was six weeks ago.
Dude #2: Oh, I thought you said six months ago! Yeah, man, you got a sweet deal there. I can't believe your luck, where do you keep meeting these women!?

This new horrifying trend gives me pause. Is it possible that the reason I haven't met a great guy yet is because I simply haven't gotten myself knocked up and then rid myself of the fetus?

I'm suddenly thinking I will stay very, very single for a very, very long time...

Random thoughts:

1. OverheardinNewYork is a pretty interesting site, but it cannot possibly beat the amusement level of Wordsplosion! People after my own heart, putting all bad spellers and poor grammarians on notice.

2. It was a tough decision last night, trying to determine if I was going to root for Kansas State to beat Louisville, just because I dislike Louisville (a lot), or root for Louisville just so that a Big 12 North Division team would lose a game and maybe help out the Huskers. Turns out Louisville won, and I don't care either way. Huh.

3. Happy Birthday today to Sheila Shontz! Happy Birthday on the 21st to Sara Vontz! And Happy Birthday on the 22nd to Becky Buelt!

4. Totally haven't seen or spoken to those last two people for the last 15 or so years, but I still remember their birthdays. If I thought that talent had any good use for humanity, I'd donate my brain to science, but I doubt that's the case.
