Hm. I'm gonna have to go with "poorly written articles" for 200, Alex. There's no arc here, nothing. She starts by saying men aren't all that hard to figure out, then proceeds to document how her absurd lines fail at a frat party, then talks about cross-dressing and finishes with some joke about monkey balls. I don't get it, other than she's an author trying to be absurd for absurdity's sake, which is, well, absurd. Hunter Thompson she is not.

No Catchy Nickname: Arc, shmarc. It was just a silly, funny piece.

Even silly, funny pieces can be well-written and at least leave you with a sense of...well...something. I don't even know what the point of this was.

Wait...wait...so a confident woman goes to a drunken frat party, says some incredibly odd stuff, and finds that many of the off-beat lines still work? I'm mystified about this!

robhead: Exactly what I was thinking. Just having knowledge of NetHack makes her A: Not hot, 2: A geek.

You'll know for sure soon enough. It's only a matter of time before someone finds her myspace page, online poetry, and everything else she's ever done and posts a link. Be patient.

It's time that "Cosmo," women, and gay men realize that guys aren't really that hard to figure out. I see men as those old computers: all big and clunky and capable only of the most binary thoughts.

It's time that "Maxim," men, and lesbians realize that women aren't really that hard to figure out. I see women as those old Chatty Cathy dolls: a plastic facade capable only of talking just to hear themselves talk.


Huh. This is fun!

It's time that "Teen People," teenagers, and tweens realize that adults aren't really that hard to figure out. I see adults as old Lego sets: faded and cracked in places but still worth a few laughs now and then.

therealburkazoid: wtf is a 'leatherman'?

It's a small knife that fits on key chains. More manly than a Swiss army knife. Unless it comes with a tampon attachment.

Alright, somebody help me out.

How does a "hot" (?) girl go to a frat party, use a whole variety of pickup lines ranging from (a) hilarious and bound to work to (z) oddly strange and worrying but still bound to work

......

and not get laid...?

Did she get to a certain point and then say "Actually, sorry, I'm just doing research for an article on pickup lines." and then walk away.....?

'Cause that would get old real fast.


/ cue the "Can't a girl just talk to a guy without actually putting out!?!" people.
// ordinarily yes, but not if peeing in my butt is on offer, 'cause that's an instant trip to the coat room.

I learned a lot from this article. Like MIT apparently has a gender quota.

GIS results turned up another atricle in the neighborhood written by Sarah Buckley.

Or even... a girl (OMG! A girl!) goes to a party at MIT (Did you see a girl? I think I did!) and no matter what she says, guys talk to her. Stunning.
