Picture Book

Why do people ask "Why aren't you married?" I'm sure it's meant kindly, in general, but the underlying question (at least to the singleton's ears) is "What's wrong with you?"

M has taken to using her online dating membership to document the reason WHY she is STILL SINGLE. She takes pictures with her digital camera of the most peculiar ... so it's a picture of a picture of a person from their online profile. Amazingly, they come out quite well. Funny thing, technology. Online dating can prevent you from cutting and pasting but resourceful ones like M don't let that stop them.

Yesterday at M's bday lunch she showed me the latest offenders. One dude was in bed, under the covers, topless, spooning with his dog. I think he had a choke hold on the dog, to be honest. Kind of a strange first impression, though I bet he didn't mean it to be. Another was a scrawny little dude, again shirtless, but wearing an American flag apron in a bit of a Swedish chef pose. If it was on youtube as a video, probably would be hilarious. As a freeze frame match - notsomuch.

So last night, instead of doing projects I should have been doing, I got out my camera, set it to macro, and culled through the parade of matches for the most peculiar.

Watch out - some may be posted here later ... maybe.
