Even if it is our last brand new year...

A New York woman is being scrutinized and praised after people learned that she used a dating website to obtain $1,200 a month in free meals.
According to Business Insider, 23-year-old Jessica Sporty was deep in debt. Sporty had difficulties living on her $45,000 annual salary after spending nearly $1,500 a month in rent, paying her credit card bill, and buying food.
So she hatched up a plan and signed up with the popular online dating site Match.com so she could quickly go on five dates a week. Sporty even maintained a spreadsheet with detailed information on each of her dates, limiting each guy to a maximum of five.
Dates took Sporty to high-end New York restaurants, and one of her dates even bought her a $200 bottle of champagne.
“Before I barely had enough money to pay for food,” said Sporty. “After using Match.com I found I wasn’t going into debt anymore.”

As of today, Sporty is no longer on the dating website as she is currently in a relationship and most likely freeloading off her new beau.
“It was exhausting,” she said. “I needed my sleep and I was done playing the game.”

Keep eyes peeled for someone worthy of our attentions then.
thread has to have certain criteria:
Be posted by an obvious troll that will get the zot.
Be of that “eau de troll” blend that allows repeated mockery.
[HK409 treatment may be invoked.]
Must lend itself to easy Undeadness.
[If the troll posts as if my typo virus got him, that’s a plus.]
TC, we tried some of the oak leaf sweet red from walmart last night. Great stuff! We went back today and bought a few more bottles.
Good possibility I’ll have a headache tomorrow morning.
Drink plenty of water, too. It is surprisingly good, especially for the price.
Ambush it is.
I’ll be at work on the overnight and only able to spectate until late afternoon.
Which stinks, but that’s life at the moment.
I believe we should start a new tradition of going to Tax-chick's for a seven-course meal. (Tax-chick? Don't put yourself out. Use plastic silverware.)
That reminds me...can we coordinate some sort of effort to encourage John to FIX the CLOCK once and for all? It's >10 minutes fast now.
Hey Darkie...see #726. I can’t wait for the ambush!
You’d all be welcome, of course! And we can use the real forks ... I decided a couple of years ago that I would never use plastic flatware again, so I carry real metal utensils and a real plate with me to Scouts meals, the Knights of Columbus fish dinner, and so on.
I appears someone is cooking hamburgers, at the moment. I’m going to put my feet up and work on checking Tom’s most recent batch of English assignments.
Even if it is our last brand new year...
Hey, Darks!
I say we go with the first zotting of the new year. There have been plenty to choose from lately!
Let’s go with the the first mittbot zot. If it’s a Paul thread, I might end up getting myself zotted. I’d hate to have that happen on an undead thread even though I really do try hard to stay away from politics on the UT.
A dog always returns to it’s vomit.
fresh 2012 meat sounds good...
“You could use McCain posters, if we run short of Romney’s.”
Already used them as kindling. I should be able to get more mittens posters, though.
Been trying more names for the thing. It definitely doesn’t like Fred. Got a little interest when I called it “beast of the damned.” I’ll keep trying.
I wonder if it’s something that emerged from the confrontation of the dust bunnies and the zombies, back when we lost all the spare shower curtains. That would explain the taste for Vegemite. My cat Shannon is giving me some strange reports about what’s going on under the refrigerator here in my apparently normal suburban kitchen, so anything is possible in the Castle.
Happy New Year, folks, if I don’t get back before tomorrow’s kitteh! I’m working on school schedules and Sunday School lessons for next month, on the assumption that I’ll suddenly have a baby at some point and find myself behind on work.
Now where’s the hole punch, the scissors, and the poster board ...
SUCCESS!!!!
I’ve got a name that the thing seems to like! “Cthulhu.” But since that’s already been used, I tried McCthulhu and it seems to like it! The thing started to purr/flatulate and hop up and down. I guess it’s not quite as sinister as “the eater of souls.” But sinister enough.
Now if I could only get it to stop sneezing it’s tentacles or whatever they are all over the place. Guess I’ll have to take it to the vet on Tuesday.
The kids have taken a certain shine to it. Or at least stop screaming whenever it’s in the room. Heck, they wanted a dog. Everybody has a dog. Not every kid has a thing from the dark recesses of the undead thread. They’ll warm up to it.
Would you kindly FRmail me the roster? I don’t have it....
I am so sick of those two I could spit.
In the fireplace, I am not a TOTAL barbarian.
“No Mitt and No Paul please!”
I agree. Current politics are too depressing.
A thread for your consideration (it’s 2012 in Australia):

Hitchcock’s birds probably thought we looked like aardvarks.
