Best/Worst Professions To Date

Posted by Johnny Cat in Everything Else on October 12, 2009 at 6:05 pm

librarian-125So the gals over at Lemondrop and the guys over at Asylum each came up with a list.  What are the best professions to date, and what are the worst, regarding both men and women?

While these definitely qualify as stereotypical, the results are pretty funny; just remember that grain of salt.

Best – Librarian
She’ll be pretty smart about lots of random things, great at Googling and a good connection for free books. Bonus: say goodbye to those nasty overdue charges. Plus, everyone knows librarians are sexual dynamos waiting to explode. Right?

Worst – Singer/Entertainer
There may be potential perks if she makes it to the big-time, but it’s statistically likely she’s not very good at what she does and you’ll have twice the fibbing to do in your relationship, answering not only “How does this look?” but the frequent “Did you like my show?”

1987 Dating Video

Posted by Johnny Cat in Everything Else, Video Clips on September 29, 2009 at 12:44 am

This completely hilarious montage of circa 1987 video dater men was featured on Boing Boing yesterday, and as one commenter mentioned, the guy at 3:34 was a dead ringer for Seth Green.  Upon second viewing, I noticed that the guy at 2:27 looks and sounds like Seth Rogen.

That got me thinking.  Is the Seth Green guy really Seth Green, filmed recently?  Slipped into a montage of real 87 vid-daters?  And if that is Seth Rogen, is it also current footage with makeup, because if it was really him he’d be about 5 years old in 1987. It seems odd that two Seths appear in one seemingly random new (old) funny video.

Anyway, aside from that, there’s lots of funny to be found in this new viral gem.  Hard to pick a favorite, but the Goddess guy/ Bon Jovi afficionado is impressive.

How to Date... the 1949 Edition

Posted by Stacy in Video Clips on January 21, 2009 at 11:03 pm

Your guide to dating, including this gem:

“Hey Ann? Whatcha doing Saturday night?”
“Well, I guess I’m busy.”
“Oh, yeah? Any chance of giving him the push-off for me?”
“Well, of all the nerve!!!”

I also enjoy that our hero, Woody, is wearing a sport coat to go the “Hi-Teen Carnival.”

Underwear Model You Can Contact

Posted by Alex in Advertising on December 6, 2008 at 2:35 pm

Migros, a supermarket chain in Switzerland, got a brilliant idea for its underwear advertising campaign: they are modeled by good lookin’ singles who you can contact!

In a wide-spread press release Migros announced to advertise their latest underwear worn by real singles, who are looking to meet and find a partner. The story quickly became a topic for the media, already giving the campaign a first ignition. 700 willing models applied and there from 26 where chosen. Following was a campaign that used real life singles modelling the underwear with possibility of the viewer to contact them over their email address. Hundreds of national and international media covered the story about the singles in Migros underwear.

A Book on Dating -Written by a 9-year-old!

Posted by Miss Cellania in Baby & Kids, Book & Lit on December 3, 2008 at 2:22 pm

Fourth grader Alec Greven wrote a pamphlet called “How to Talk to Girls” which became a best seller at his school book fair in Castle Rock, Colorado. The 46-page book has now been picked up by publisher Harper Collins. Some tidbits:

“It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry,” he writes in Chapter Three.

“Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.”

He advises, “The best choice for most boys is a regular girl. Remember, some pretty girls are coldhearted when it comes to boys. Don’t let them get to you.”

He believes the best way to approach a girl is to keep it to a simple “hi.”

“If I say hi and you say hi back, we’re probably off to a good start,” he said.

As for his own love life, he said he is not dating anyone at the moment. “I’m a little too young,” he confessed.
