If watching your 401(k) melt into bits of string and space trash has only whetted your appetite for MORE risk, we would like to introduce you to CrazyBlindDate.com. This online sensation differs from other dating websites in that it essentially matches you based upon availability — rather than “49,000 proven measures of compatibility” or whatever they’re all claiming these days.
To explain further: You decide that you want to get a drink, with another human, in about 30 minutes. You can go to the site’s “date wizard,” select some neighborhoods in DC and the amount of time it would take you to get there upon notification of a date. You select what kind of bar you’d like (or coffee house, for lamers), and whether you want to meet a man, woman or either. Then some magical Internet stuff happens, and presumably a few minutes later, you get an email with a blurry picture of someone who also wants to meet for drinks, in your selected time slots/neighborhoods.

No it’s great. It’s how I met my first eight wives.
In other words, they’ve given up on the ‘scientific’ method in favor of blind chance. Yep, that gets dating about right, but what of the children?
This is surely going to give RandomTrannyHookup.com a run for its money.
Man, woman or “either?” No option to “Supersize?”
Ha, this redirects from govpaterson.com.
I think a Hell-Orgy snippet of a Bosch painting may be appropriate here. Also.
I’ll stick with the ‘tried and true’…Trekkie Conventions. Bonus points if your neighbor calls the cops because of your Klingon mating ritual.
…why does this sound like something that will violate my probation?
[re=245381]Servo[/re]: Hey! Klingons! Have you seen Geithner’s forehead prosthesis?
[re=245374]Mr Blifil[/re]: …considering some of the “things” I have woken up next to in bed after a night out drinking, I’m thinking they may need to add a “species” option!
Hell, a dice roll is better than Match.com most days…
No Philadelphia?
I haz a spinster sad.
I’m guessing the only reason this service exists is to get the 1-penny-a-click revenue from the Indecent Exposure attorney ad.
I find it easier to skip all the expensive courting bullshit and just bring her an ashtray to throw at me.
No Los Angeles?
I has, like, a total sad…
This is very similar to what i already do:
I look at the clock; it is 12:00
I mentally ran through all the bars within a 15 minute radius from my job.
30 minutes later, an magical alcohol thing happens and
I hook up with a girl (I hope) who looks pretty darn blurry to me.
35 minutes after that, I tell everyone at work that I have the flu and
an important report to work on and go to my office hoping I did not get the crabs.
This is a great way to meet my next crazy psycho ex-girlfriend. Thanks, Wonkette!
Ha, I just signed up. Who wants to go on a date with me next Tuesday? We can talk about Wonkette.
A friend told me about a study in which they showed women a movie of bonobos having sex. By measuring the amount of “arousal” they somehow determined that the #1 fantasy of women is to have sex with a total stranger. This bodes well for CrazyBlindDate.com, especially if you can choose Male, Female or Bonobo.

My roommate used this. It’s funny because she’s actually blind. The dates themselves, apparently, were awkward and terrible.
Sounds interesting. Enough already of the same, old dating sites.
At least, a site with a difference!
This is (tangentially) how I met my current boyfriend in New York. No joke.
