Mimi Wants To Play Scrabble (Wake up and smell the sarcasm)
And now for a reality check.
Enter with me, if you will, into the insane world of online dating. This bachelor just put a Proceed With Caution sign on his profile in big, bold alphabet letters. He writes...(P.S. This is a paragraph from an actual dating profile)
""Lust and Like are good words. The other "L" word takes some time to actually pronouce for me. ........Looking for a woman who likes simular t.v. shows, knows how to dance, you know the really important stuff. Are you getting this or are you a blonde ? No offense to you blondes, you understand. Its just a "word" thingy."
(My response)
They're all perfectly wonderful four-letter wordies. I know!
Let's play Scrabble on our first and last date.
L words....4 letters....hhmmm.......
How about l-a-m-e.
aLONE (ooops. That's 5. I cheated)
Loon?
Are you getting this?! No offense.
While you're learning to pronounce "the other L word" I'll just be on my way. Got to get those roots touched up. I know somewhere there's a guy who's not afraid of a lil old word like......
What's that? No, you may not jump me.
This is Scrabble, not Checkers.
NEXT.

Oh geez. What the heck is going on with men? Or we could blame all the women before this moment that didn't put him in his place.
"This is Scrabble, not Checkers."
Ha!!!!!
You're going to let this gem get away? Bwahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day and weekend. Big hug. :)
I have a five-letter 'L' word for him:
"loser"
I bet you can't wait...
He sounds 'lost'!
Did you really post that response? Please oh please say you did. I'll be so disappointed if you didn't.
Summer - I would say the insanity is equal depending on the baggage at hand. MMmmmaayyybe.
Sigh.
Southern - One "ha!!!"
Thank you!
Sandee - I'm afraid I must. He's just not my type. But then again, what IS my type?
I am so confused!!!!
Princess Patti - Perfect! Ha!
Bud - Can hardly stand it.
Akelamlau - Ha! Another good one!
Fee - I wouldn't touch that guy's profile email with a ten-foot pole. He's the type that would take it as a compliment!
Do you see what I'm up against here?!!!
You do find some winners don't you? Maybe you could introduce him to one of the Bookstore Police. That should be interesting.
And for the record, I'm not afraid of lace. I like lace! I mean I don't wear it myself or anything, but I like it on the right person.
I've said to much.
Dear Fellow Bloggy Friends - This is not going to be a pleasant weekend in the castle. Please send a rescue team. I am begging you. Queen is not in a good mood.

This post should be MANDATORY reading for every single person who believes that nothing is worse than being alone.
Gal - Oh there are things MUCH worse than being alone. Having said that, I'd love to be in a relationship. That doesn't mean I'm going to settle for THIS.
Not.
Never.
