Aw, look who's back for another ride with the boys to work; it's a pleasure to have you aboard again. We seem to be talking about more issues lately than we normally do, which is making it more difficult to decide what to actually tell you folks about, but ... that's what I signed up to, so I won't complain ... I'll just tell you about more than usual. Themes for today? People having loads of fun and someone else trying desperately to have fun.
In news that bowled me over with excitement today, the Associated Press reported that there's a group in Maine that has found it's a lot of fun to get their minds in the gutter (just not their balls) and get down to some no strings attached naked bowling. That's right, the Bare Nekkid Mainers organize several events where they rent out an entire bowling alley, cover the windows and doors, post signs indicating a private function is in progress, drop their clothing (but not their shoes of course) and see what they can knock over with their balls (mostly of the bowling variety). Police have indicated that the group is not doing anything wrong and the event organizer has further commented that "We're not doing anything sexually explicit, and we're not out there doing it on Main Street." Oh spare me (I know these are bad puns) ... I think you ARE doing something wrong folks, if you're stopping there .... Just make sure you don't get yourself too excited, if you know what I'm saying ... you don't want to run the risk of a line violation.
The Associated Press also informs of another situation involving a guy who's having nowhere near as much fun and is certainly desperate (and I really mean desperate) to have it. Apparently there's a university student in China who has posted an advertisement indicating his desire to rent a girlfriend for a ten day period, through the Loonie (I mean Lunar) New Year Holiday. His ad indicates he's looking for "an honest, kind and similar aged girl with a diploma." Dude, if you're looking for a girl with a diploma, she's likely smart enough to not let you rent her ... just a hunch. Anyway, he's apparently doing this because his family is pressuring him to find a girlfriend, but he's been too busy studying to find one. I'm no physics student, like him, but I'm smart enought to know it's going to cost him a little more than it's likely worth to keep up the charade long enough to keep annoying parents off his back. He's willing to pay 1,00 yuan (which is approximately $130). How's he going to explain the breakup after the holiday? In the long run, it may be cheaper to just invest now in a mail order bride (is it still called that if it's online?).
That's all for today; I'll pick you up again tomorrow. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the road ... you want to ensure you're safe on your way to check out every bowling alley in your city.
