Animal lovers get their own dating site

by Jason on March 1, 2007

Just because Ange sent me this doesn’t mean I’m about to add loggers and filters to the Thrust Labs internet connection, but there’s apparently a new dating site in town and this one focuses on members’ companion animals. No, it’s not for arranging play dates for your terrier, it just takes your animal preferences into account so if you live with, say, a siamese cat, you don’t hook up with someone that lives with a rare siamese cat-eating balooka lizard. Over the years I’ve heard from a few people who feel that their companion animals, whether it’s one cat or a sanctuary-level herd of critters, has had an impact on their dating life, so this is an interesting niche that hopefully will spill over to the more mainstream dating sites. I can’t connect to the site at the moment, which may not even be in English, so there’s no word if “I don’t eat them” is included anywhere in visitor profiles’ list of animal preferences. Link.

Penis Peppers!

February 21, 2006

All the penis posts this week are from Dagda Samildanc. I don’t plan these things, they just happen. Frankly, I’m just a caveman, and I don’t understand your internet ways, but I do know this: when I hear of an eBay auction for penis-shaped peppers, I figure yeah, uh-huh, how penis-shaped can they [...]

The Flash cartoon shortage is being addressed

February 10, 2006

We haven’t posted any Flash-based propaganda lately, so here’s one from Magic Stones – the Organic Consumers Association would like everyone to buy organic flowers and organic fair trade chocolate this Valentine’s Day. I’m mostly posting this one because there’s a bit with Sigfried and Roy in it that didn’t go at all like [...]
