So I'm recuperating from my Thursday raid into the bowels of Veeshan's Peak in EQ2 by surfing the web when I encounter the worst name EVAR for a dating website:
plentyoffish.com
At first I thought the name meant "Plenty Offish." What the...? What kind of dating website gears itself towards standoffish people? "I'm Steve J., and I'm 'Plenty Offish.' So stay the hell away from me. You can call me at 555-1212, but you better not."
The rest of the banner ad said "We Delete Members unfit to date!" which, aside from its random approach to capitalization, underscored the site's standoffish-ness. What's their criteria for 'unfit?' Does it include lawyers who play MMORPG's?
Because the site worked so hard at seeming elitist it took me over a minute before I realized it's supposed to read "Plenty of Fish." Which seems like a misnomer if they delete 'unfit' members willy-nilly.
In other news, I have a court hearing tomorrow. I spent almost the whole day in court two days ago. And before that I had a motion hearing. All of a sudden, I'm Courtroom Boy. It's annoying, because I have so much other work to get done, which continues to pile up on my desk while I'm walking through the metal detector for the zillionth time and sitting at the bar waiting for my case to be called. Why is everybody so litigious all of a sudden?
It's days like this that I wish I could buy the World some vanilla soft serve.
