A New Game
Here we go.
A comic told people he hasn't been doing shows lately because, "Ever since I joined OKCupid, I've just been fuckin' too much to have time for shows." He was serious. It has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. "Man, I don't have time to breathe much lately... Yeah, fuckin'." You look emaciated. Have you been eating well? "Nah, no time to eat. I've been fuckin' 24/7." Just say you don't have any shows. That's fine. "I don't have shows because I've been fuckin' too much" is ridiculous. "No, I don't have two hours a day to do shows. 8-10 is when I do my best fuckin'."
I scoured okcupid and discovered some pretty douchey things. One girl said her biggest interests are "Lattes and hard-wood floors." I bet she's a hoot. A young Sheryl Crowe.
So, here is what I did.
I decided to create Okcupid.com profiles for the two characters I've done in series (go to my homepage for details), and have them compete.
Here is the page for Ghost from Crucial Element. The profile name is "ghostinthecity." I'm proud of that. My favorite part of his profile: "Ladees I may seem out of your leag but step up to the plate and take a swing. You might be suprised."
Here is the page for Van from A$$ Crash Monster.
The contest will be running for one month. I will send one message per day to a person recommended by okcupid. Scoring works as follows:
1 point for each profile view by an okcupid user.
5 points for each message response from a user.
10 points for any unsolicited messages received from users.
I will post anything that's good here.
I'm very excited about this.

An inordinate amount of people claim to be passionate about procrastinating and sarcasm. I've never thought of either of those things as activities. It's like saying you're really into pronouns.
