    From My Homescreen

    Okcupid is kind of awesome.

    It’s like… facebook, but trying to get laid. And being lame about it.

    One thing I love about it is the homescreen. On your homescreen, you get to choose from several options as to how you want your homescreen to display. Just want to see what tests people are taking? Sure, click that. Okay…Want to see what people write in their journals? Done and done.

    My favorite is to toggle the image button. This will show you some random assortment of people that okcupid thinks you will match with — and it shows you the most recent picture uploads.

    Here’s a handful from my homescreen today:

    Um, yes. I think I’ll have the Large Pizza deal, but can you hold the Swine Flu? And get I get a two liter of Pepsi? Kthxbai.

    le sigh Really, dude? I realize that you think this is funny… Maybe it gives us some kind of peek into your mind’s eye, but seriously. Shirtless picture gone wrong. I usually give guys a break if they’re shirtless but wearing swimming trunks. This is NOT the way to do it. Where’s the pool man?

    There is something VERY creepy about this guy’s face + his dog in his lap. I’m a dog person — through and through. Something tells me this isn’t a healthy man-dog relationship. Look at that dog’s face? She’s so depressed looking! And the man… He’s… loving it too much. Too, too much.

    Oh.my.lawd. Yep, dude. I get it. “This is me.” And we see you, with your lopsided and encircled with hair nipples. We see your wallpaper in your trailer. I love what you’ve done with that window “treatment”… Is that a hawaiian shirt that you’ve just wrapped around a 6×4? And that light fixture? Over the bed. I can almost feel the asbestos dust gently settling on the bed. Good thing that window unit is right above the bed, that should blow most of it on the floor.

    Also? PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY — I hope you’re wearing pants.

    Uhhhhmmm… Shit, y’all. I got nothin’. Absolutely fucking nothin’.
