So, I'm a member of a dating site. Blah Blah, yadda yadda. Ok, we got that out of the way. So anyway, on this site there's a stage you reach with a "match" where you ask 3 short answer questions. You can make up your own or choose from a bunch they have there already. So I get to this stage with this woman, who I must confess seems intriguing. And after she answers my questions and it's her turn, she asks me these three questions:

"What do you think of civilization?"
"What is your opinion of pigeons?"
and
"What do you most like to do on a day off?"

Now, the last one is one of the default questions you can choose, and is also one of the questions I'd asked her. But the first two, are very not. Now you see why I'm intrigued. I've always been fond of people that don't go out of their way to do or behave as society expects them to. So I'm not sure if she's having fun with finding new ways to jump through the hoops that this site presents potential matches, or if she is somehow deeply concerned about my opinion of pigeons. I'm guessing the former. Obviously, 1000 characters (that's letters and spaces, not words) is vastly insufficient to explain my thoughts on civilization, but I gave it a go. Here's my answer to the pigeon question:

"Pigeons are cool. I was out in a local historical park on Sunday and I remember actually thinking to myself that pigeons are beautiful creatures. I think they've evolved to the point where they're entirely dependent upon humans for survival, which is never good, but other than the mess they occasionally leave on my car, I will accept their existence amicably."

I then answered the question of what I like to do on a day off as follows:

"Ponder civilization and the role of pigeons therein."

I was severely tempted to leave that alone as my answer. But I was a good boy and went on to give a real answer after that.

So what do you think, are these questions a creative and amusing brush off? Or might she actually be interesting? Here's an even more important question: Why am I discussing my dating site activities on my blog? Sheesh.

Here's another one for the seeing people I know on TV file. If any of you are TV junkies (and most likely you aren't if you know me and read my blog, but maybe you are, I dunno) and you watched both episodes of "Deal or No Deal" last night (Or just the second one) then you were treated to none other than Greg Magnuson, lead singer of my former band (called, appropriately, Magnuson) in drag. My good friend and former band-mate, on a game show, in drag. Fortunately he let me know in advance, so I got it on DVR. If we are successful in pulling the episode off the DVR, I'll see if I can shrink his bit down to post it here. It was hilarious and creepy. All at the same time.
