Timothy McSweeney

I was first informed of this site from Twitter. It was then immediately placed onto my bookmarks and I have loved it every since. I am not too certain where people get these lists or they develop them, but either way, I am glad I get to read them. Here is one of my recent favorites:

Personals
From Nonpersons.

BY PETER CAMERON

- - - -

Toyota Prius seeks irritating pseudoenvironmentalist for smug attitude and poorly informed dinner-party rant on Middle Eastern oil politics.

California relocation for "fresh start" seeks disaster-prone individual for postmove loneliness and employment difficulties followed by crippling "sleep all day" depression episode.

Cringe-inducing racist remark seeks grandfather for slip of the tongue during family get-together.

Tedious recounting of last night's nonsensical dream seeks potential suitor on first date for obliteration of second-date possibility.

Surprisingly explicit and seemingly unending movie sex scene seeks family for very uncomfortable viewing moment.


I find this list funny for two reasons. Reason 1, my aunt and I were talking about how she just bought a Prius. The other day she was walking out of Whole Foods with a Starbucks Coffee and turned on her Prius, on came NPR. Be afraid, a Prius will change you. Reason 2, I have been in several uncomfortable movie moments with both my parents, and my grandparents. Not recommended, but always makes for good family conversation later down the road.

Check it out!
