Dear DateSpacers,
Feel like no one ever notices you–like you’re not catching any eyes the way you want to? Well, we could all use a little help standing out. Here’s an idea: suspenders. You know, like the red ones firefighters wear to keep their pants up? Totally underrated.
Dear DateSpacers,
This week we offer some mixology advice to keep you on the level. One of our tips was inspired by a (very) recently learned lesson. Can you guess which?
Tip 1: Don’t order a White Russian on a date, unless you want breath harsher than General Winter. What’s good for the Dude is not always good for you.
Tip 2: Speaking of “dudes,” don’t order anything with the word “bomb” in its title–ever–unless it’s Saint Patrick’s Day.
Tip 3: And speaking of the Irish, don’t let anyone ever tell you Baileys Irish Cream can’t go bad. Because, Brothers and Sisters, it can. Oh, Lord, it can.
Dear DateSpacers,
This is the best week we’ve had in, well, weeks. We got a new President and a new episode of Flight of the Conchords, we finally mastered the Soulja Boy dance, and we made it to our 50th issue of Thursdates! And–to top it all off–we just learned this great news!
So join us for some serious percolating up in this dancery. Oh, and no haters, please. At DateSpaces.com we do it all for love like Color Me Badd.
No doubt about it, winter is upon us. From where I’ma settin’ here in Columbus, Ohio, it’s currently -5 degrees (-24 with the wind chill). Not 5. -5. That’s what I like to call, “stupid cold” (or, for you Spaceballs fans, “ludicrous cold.”) Granted, I see that in NYC right now it’s about 15 degrees, but that’s hardly balmy.
Dear DateSpacers,
We apologize if we seem a little anxious, but who could blame us? Have you been following New Yorker contributor James Surowiecki’s commentary on the likelihood of a world without the print edition of the New York Times [also here]? The prospect is just terrifying. Without the print edition of the Times, how will we get through our Sunday hangovers? And what of all the smug college kids who subscribe so they can show their peers just how worldly they are? What’s to become of them and their form of literary conspicuous consumption? And what of the slogan, “All the news that’s fit to print”? Hello!?!
But the worst thing about losing the print newspaper would, without a doubt, be bidding adieu to the comics. There’s nothing funny about losing the funnies. Not only do newspaper comic strips offer entertainment from the side-splittingly hilarious (see: Family Circus*) to the deliciously enthralling (Apartment 3-G, anyone? Is there anything more tantalizing than blue hair?), but they also provide invaluable information.

First correct response gets a standard set of public-broadcasting-worthy prizes: a canvas DateSpaces.com tote bag, a cumbersome reference book of some kind, this great Carmen watch,* and a date with Carl Kasell.**
