My Personal Ad As If Dictated By My Uncle Gary
I don’t have an Uncle Gary. Nothing in this ad is true, except the stuff about me. Some of the place names might be actual places, but I have no cousins with these names and if one slipped through, it was an accident.
I got a few responses to this, the most interesting one being this:
“Uncle Gary didn’t help you he just shot you in the foot.”
Probably. I’m...
Hero Dog Protects Lost Girl →
Victoria is 3 years old. She wandered into the mountains last Thursday. Victoria’s dog, Blue, kept her warm and protected her from predators. The next day, she was rescued by helicopter.
“The dog was protective of the child when they first approached, but when the girl smiled, the dog relaxed.”
When was the last time a cat saved somebody?
Cats are busy distracting...

Men Are Largely Morons, Especially the Ones Trying...
The men on Craigslist these days must be really desperate.
Back in its heyday for me (2007), I would get dozens of excellent responses to my ads. I got the most responses when I posted emo ads about how I was just out of a short marriage and I was trying to figure out if I could get into a relationship again. These things were all true, but the ads that specifically used them as a way of...
so there's this movie called Equilibrium
It’s not a great movie, but I love it. It stars Christian Bale as a badass gun-shooting law enforcement type dude in a future where everybody has to take a drug so they stop feeling emotions. Society is perfect but boring.
But Christian Bale secretly stops taking it and he doesn’t really know what to do about it and they put him in a chair with electrodes on it to read his emotions...

Actual Personal Ad I Posted: Seeking a Partner,...
I only got a few responses to this ad, posted sometime in 2007. It should be obvious why. The few emails I got asked what video game I was referring to, which annoyed me because every word of this came straight out of my muddled brain.
I need a partner. I don’t mean sidekick, so don’t worry about that. I don’t mind sharing the fortune AND the glory (good luck finding an...

Not Absolutely Never, by The Sneeze →
so there was a meetup for tumblr users tonight in...
here I am bitching about the winter isolation and yet I still can’t think of a single reason to attend it.
I just show up, say “hi, I’m Jim, I use tumblr too?” That’s not awkward at all.
I like tumblr, but it’s just an extremely apt tool for putting content on the web.
It seems like having a meetup just for people who use Stanley hammers.
