Indeed, Indeed wishes men would stop with the high fives in bars:

... They know you're not really that excited that you both majored in psychology. Come on, keep your hands free to light her cigarette like a gentleman.

When a Christmas card came back to Maureen Rogers marked addressee unknown, no forwarding address, she went online to see if she could find her friend's current address, and then she typed her name into Google.

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports that when a young couple on Shephard Street got into a fight over how to organize their pantry, the girl, 18, threw all the guy's stuff into the driveway and then, when they started yelling about that, she threw bleach at him and sliced him with a knife.

Karin, who loves the Bates Reading Room at the BPL main branch, admits to scoping out the male patrons there and even fantasizing about picking one of them up:

... I have no idea how this would actually work. The silence discourages conversation. There's no way to banter via computer (a la Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy's characters in Pretty in Pink, which, speaking of, how the hell did that ever work?). Most folks wear sweatpants and scarves with bed-head and are probably stressing a 20-page brief for Monday's Con Law class.

However, there's something sexy to me about intelligence and academia and those in it who might love this space as much as I do. ...

Scot, who works at the main branch, reads Karin's post:

... Got me thinking about how differently her experience would be if we had online communities on the library web site. As Web Services Manager for the Boston Public Library, its something I think we really need, but I sure hadn't considered the direct user interaction she's got in mind! Maybe we need to provide chat rooms too. ...

No, not on the field. Alicia checked in to let us know that while the line for the women's room was only a few people long, the line for the men's room "wraps around the corner and to the end of the hallway!"

Guys: If you don't like Mexican food or people who speak Spanish, you're going to strike out rather quickly with a woman who thinks both are part of East Boston's charm.

On the way home from work tonight, I stopped at the Shaw's on Spring Street in West Roxbury (yes, it's true, somebody actually shops there!) for a few things. In the shampoo section, a couple of dudes (I know they were dudes because they kept calling each other "dude") were considering a pink, scrunchie-ish loofah-like thing with googly eyes, arms and legs. Dude 1 held the thing up and asked Dude 2:

If there was a girl in my shower, would she be like "wow!" or "no!"?

Dude 2 said "no," so Dude 1 put the thing back on the shelf.
