Al’s gerbils joke was so brilliant. Geez, Goddess, if you don’t hit it off with him….oh, I forgot. I have found someone already! If he would just stay off Nerve.
And it wasn’t the adorable Fran Leibowitz that “Jonathan” was speaking of.

I don’t remember feeling picked on by “Jonathan!” I liked him, though he scared me a little. That “rodential Jewess” line was ugly and misogynist, though, even hateful…maybe that’s what scared me about him.

“Girlish hands” is hilarious. If the guy had any conscience, he’d make that his profile headline and spare other women the horror.

I once fixed a friend up with a really great guy I met online. He was british, she was an anglophile; he was rich, she was a golddigger. . . anyway, halfway through their date she called me from the bathroom and hissed “Why didn’t you tell me he had girlish hands!” Um, because I hadn’t noticed.

Then she said that he’d “forced” her to pay, when in reality, she offered to go dutch and he took her up on it. I tried to point out that if she hadn’t wanted to pay she shouldn’t have offered, but she wasn’t hearing it.

OMG! Fran L. IS sort of rodential, isn’t she? It’s funny, when I first read “rodential,” it conjured nobody except Paul Lynde.

But FL is also like a fun, wisecracking rat, a less langourous Bugs Bunny type.

Let’s call the friend who’s about to date “Al” “Goddess,” because she is.

So many pseudonyms! What should we call the friend who’s about to go out with “Al?”

And what of the rodential authoress? Shall we call her “Fran Lebowitz?”
