Looking for Giraffe people...

"Do you have a long neck?
Please email a pic.
Serious inquirees only."

So read my most recent campaign for attention from single ladies on the infamous Personals section of the underground classifieds on craigslist.org Washington DC.
No long neckers have responded yet.

And don't ask me why.
It seemed ridiculous at the time. Seemed innocent next to all the other "Free Dirt" ads on the men seeking women section. It may be odd, but in context it is kinda funny.


I have quite an invitation to extend to all those bored enough to be scanning the archives of manvilletabletalk.
What are you doing three summers from now?

Hopefully Macey will be gainfully employed - or finishing up some overdue paper for the previous semester's graduate class.
Hopefully Sleuth will be a partner in that law firm he is singlehandedly running right now. Thankfully it will be summer and he will not have an excuse to still be taking college classes.
Hopefully Straw will have married that girl out in California and will have kicked all his renters out, forcing Macey to get a job.
Hopefully Rob will have bought an ugly house and fixed it up. Maybe all the renters could move in there. Then Rob could complain to Sleuth if Sleuth tried to eat his eggs.
Hopefully Paige will have paid off his leased truck. I have money on he and Paige uniteing legally into Dave Paige and Paige Paige.
Hopefully Borger and his wife (currently to be) will be very very happy and have some money to spend on a vacation.
Hopefully Swanson will be found or will have changed his voicemail from "Leave me a message and I will call you back" to something more truthful like, "Leave me a message - I may never call you back."
Hopefully Noel and his wife will have proven good matchmakers for all the single men of manhouse.
Hopefully I will have forgotten nobody and those I have forgotten will also forget about me.. and the time I... ah, forged about it.

But more important than all that, hopefully some of you, the forementioned, will accompany me on a trip of grand heights, great sights, under German city lights.

Right now tickets are on sale for World Cup 2008 Germany.
Many of us will be attending the World Cup Qualifiers in Birmingham next week.
But how about the chance to go see World Cup games and to travel Germany three summers for now? Consider the possibilty of watching the USA win the entire thing (as has been secretly planned for the last ten years as part of project 40?)

Tickets are only on sale through the end of this month.

If you have other plans, the Germans have a phrase for you: "forged about it."

To employ a guilt-imposing selling line by Dr. K that also seems to me to rule out reason, "say yes unless God closes the door."

I will be awaiting close to 10 replies from giraffe people on this site. Be sure to send a pic.
