Well, I at least got someone to marry me. Poor bastard!

Maybe there is a trick to this, some secret you can let me in on? I admit that being 210 and going bald at 24 is not helping me out any, but maybe it isn't totally impossible.

There is someone for everyone, do not give up. We are our own worst critics.

I do NOT want that woman to be President! Nor do I want Feinstein or DeGeneres as President, either!

Wise Words...

"The appearance-challenged? What the heck does that even MEAN?!

It means that the Feds will soon come up with Affirmative Action legislation forcing Employers to set up a quota to hire Ugly People.

They will suggest catchy slogans for Employment Ads, such as:

"If you're a Boofer, We'll make you an offer!" or "We (HEART) Uglies!" or "We are an Equal Ugly Employer".
