Plus they're both 5'9". Does anything else really matter?
One of them is in Mississippi, the other Alabama. I'd say you should at least be able to outcompete one of them by living in the other's state, unless southern women are looking for long-distance relationships.
If you're looking to compete, you're screwed already.
"Sometimes told I resemble Moby."
I think #2 may be exactly as bad as he seems.

Combined with the animal/bad motherfucker comment, it's sort of endearing: "I'm a cute little thug." I picture him like the chickenhawk in the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons: "I'm a chickenhawk and you're a chicken. Are you going to come along quietly or am I going to have to rough you up a little?"
I kind of picture him more as an overcompensating spaz, but then I rarely find anything about men's personal ads "endearing".
Did either one note that he has a "nice tooth?"
I can't believe "Always Something There to Remind Me" puts Bachelor #2 in the mood.
Why Dr. Bennit!
Bennit? Hell I broke it.
OT, but I want to say Happy Birthday to LizardBreath.
Yeah, man, Uther and Igraine, there's a sexy scene: a knight in armor raping a naked woman. Hott!
OK, so whose descent from his own lofty blog is further when he comments here: DeLong's or Burke's?
What BG said. Happy birthday LB.
Happy birthday, LB. I hope it's a short day for you.
Re: #19 - meant entirely as complement to each. (There was some confusion about a similar comment I once made.)
I should dig out my old Usenet posts so you can really see me with my hair down. I especially liked the ones where I used to torment Star Trek: Voyager fans.
That is exactly what you should do. Furniture and pictures of bugs can wait.
I guess anyone could do it, really.
Ayup.
But you know, usually by the time I get to one of these threads, you guys have made all the cock jokes there are to make, anyway.
BTW, Crooked Timber got the Katherine-Harris-is-drunk link up first: that is so totally an Unfogged topic, it seems to me.
I really like how, in a personal ad, #1 broadcasts that he's really big in to cheating, and tells his prospective reader to "kiss his ass." Does he understand the concept of a personal?
Anyone who's willing to respond does know exactly what she's going to get, which is something you can say for him.
(and 20, 21, 22 -- again, thanks. Now I'm all embarassed about having mentioned it.)
and 20,21,22
Birthday girl
Did you take a break from "are you one, are you two, are you three, etc." to comment?
I actually just got suckered into a conference room by a scary email from a partner's secretary, and found a bunch of people I work with lurking with a carrot cake for my birthday. I still despise my job, but the people here are awfully nice.
Happy birthday, it's good to know that not so nice jobs manage to bring together nice people.
Felicitations, LB. At the museum where I used to work, they once broke out many bottles of champagne for my birthday, and dropped a single raspberry in each flute glass, which I thought was a nice touch. Extra festive.
Extraordinarily so. Sounds like a good time (and a nice place to work).
re 19: unless Burke starts commenting as not just a hedgehog, but someone else's hedgehog, DeLong must be making the furthest leap.
I think Burke should start commenting as The Hedgehog. That's a leap.
I think we will have reached a milestone when bad motherfuckers use computer dating sites, but I don't think we have reached that point yet.
I think Burke should start commenting as The Hedgehog.
Brad DeLong knows many things, but Tim Burke knows one big thing.
That sounds like a good way to start my own personals description should I ever need to stoop to that. "Bigger than DeLong"? Is that too obvious?
I think it's, "My One Thing is bigger than DeLong's."
