Red Dirties,
There have definitely been times where I’ve been so desperate for a lay date, that I’ve considered powering up the old Internet machine and creating a Match.com profile, or a JDate.com, or a Crazy-Bitches-Seeking-Sugar-Daddy.com, or CreepersAndKillers.com.
So when the (super hot) chick I sit next to at work took a dating bullet and put a profile up on Match, I knew there would be endless crazies chomping at her bits.
Oh, and was I right.
The very first e-mail she got was a Richard Pryor (pre-fire, but plus 20 years) look-a-like from Denver. According to his profile, he’s run for congress twice (like I’d vote for someone who lit himself on fire while freebasing … or his doppelganger), likes community theatre and “purposefully esoteric questions.”
Crazy offers to fly my friend to Denver for a day, pay for everything and the piece de resistance, take her to the Denver community theatre of Annie. (Sign me up!).
He sent her a list of 10 questions that she needed to be prepared to talk about at dinner. Yes, for real.
LOL! So here are your 10 esoteric topics:
1. The Day President McKinley was shot.
2. The last man to walk of the Apollo program to walk on the moon.
3. The Battle of Antietam and what it meant.
4. The movie the “Birth of a Nation” and Woodrow Wilson
5. The Play Barefoot in the Park
6. The comparison of the premises of the movies “Hitch” and “What do Women want.”
7. The Han and Roman Empires are similar because?
8. All Things James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams.
9. Agrippina The Elder
10. C.S.Lewis’ book “Screwtape Letters.”
I suggested she send this back:
1. The Day President McKinley was shot.
Don’t care.
2. The last man to walk of the Apollo program to walk on the moon.
Wasn’t really a man, but an alien disguised as a man.
3. The Battle of Antietam and what it meant.
As a result of the battle of Antietam, the Aunts and the Ants of the world were given their civil rights.
4. The movie the “Birth of a Nation” and Woodrow Wilson.
That movie was raciest. Are you raciest?
5. The Play Barefoot in the Park.
Paul Simon made a Robert Redford robot to star in the 1967 movie. It’s true, my uncle told me.
6. The comparison of the premises of the movies “Hitch” and “What do Women want.”
Both those movies are gay. Do you have the gay?
7. The Han and Roman Empires are similar because?
The Holy Roman Empire wasn’t holy, roman or an empire. Discuss.
8. All Things James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams.
They were all Masons and out to create a secret society. The government is just a front for their wizardry.
9. Agrippina The Elder
Who the fuck … ?
10. C.S.Lewis’ book “Screwtape Letters.”
C.S. Lewis is a fraud. Because Jesus isn’t real.
Unfortunately (or more aptly, fortunately; the subsequent letters are WAY amazing) she sent a nice, cordial response. So, my little Red Pumpkins, I promise to keep you posted on my friend’s online dating adventure.
I’ve seen his reply, and it’s amazing.
C U Next Thursday,
SugarTits
Come on, twitter me, baby. ST_RedDirtKings. Ooh, twitter me again.

First let’s get this out…What a pretentious douche bag!
Maybe 1 in 1000 could answer those questions satisfactorily.
Now lets get to the heart of the matter. I had friends who were still single in their latter 30s and early 40s. They were looking for Miss Right (or at least Miss Right Now) in all the places they looked when they were in their 20s. Guess what they found, 20 somethings. And as one of them put it, “these girls are fun to look at and play with, but you just can’t talk to them about anything. Yeah, it’s cute to hear them give that school girl giggle when you start talking about nuclear proliferation and they say, ‘hehehe what’s that?’”
What this guy is trying to get to across (I think poorly) is he wants to meet someone a little deeper than a parking lot puddle. He doesn’t want to talk about Brangelina, Obama’s dog choice, or any of the latest Hollywood buzz.
I think a more entertaining approach would be to answer the questions the way he wants them and then tell him, you are not interested. I think that would be funnier.

Damn it! Those were the same questions I was going to send ST to entice her to date me. Looks like I have to plan B….sending a case of Boone’s and the highlight tape from the 1974 national championship team.

Trust me. This guy has more screws loose than my slutty, loose screwing sister.

“Unfortunately she sent a nice, cordial response.”
This is the internet dating equivalent of tying raw meat around your neck and running naked across the African Savannah: you’re just begging the gods of fate to let the crazies come after you.
Really, really awesome idea. Keep stringing your friend along and keep us posted on her “adventures” in cyberspace.

Perhaps we could write her a response questionaire.
1. What side of the Evidentialism v. Pragmatism debate are you on and why?
2. Be prepared to discuss Kantianism and not just the crap lecture notes you took in college.
3. The comparison of the premises of the movies Metropolis and Deathrace 2000 as they relate to the increased power of the FBI while under the directorship of J. Edgar Hoover.
4. How do the comparable physiologies of monotremes and the order Anseriformes relate?
5. Recite the 8 rules of Fight Club and how you intend to live your life by each.
That should be good to get her started.

SugarTits I can’t believe you called your sister loose. Do you even understand true love? (Or that sometimes a guy just needs a lay? Maybe she’s just doing dudes everywhere a favor. Pun intended.)
October 8th, 2009 @3:54 pm
ST’s sister is really a social flesh philanthropist.
October 8th, 2009 @4:50 pm
as long as he has $ in the bank, it’s worth it, right Du?
October 8th, 2009 @5:18 pm
Her next reply should be a paragraph explaining why she would pick a sauraphaganax over a t-rex in a fight. I can provide this if needed.

Are we sure that OkieRover and “match.com richard pryor” aren’t the same person?
