Dear DateSpacers:
We’ve temporarily emerged from our tryptophan-induced coma to bring you a brief Thursdates stuffed with our trademark tips and advice. Sorry, maybe “stuffed” is a poor word choice for today. TAKE TWO: Please enjoy this Reader’s Digest version of Thursdates. Crap. “Digest” isn’t any better, huh? Good gravy.
Dear DateSpacers:
DateSpaces.com is pleased to present Issue 41, the first prime-numbered issue since Issue 37!
Funny story about that: So, when we started this whole Thursdates thing, they promised me that we’d stop when we got to the largest prime number. Sounds like an ok deal, right? Well, turns out Euclid proved over 2000 years ago that there are infinitely many primes. Whoops.
Dear DateSpacers:
For our 40th issue we are pleased to present our Love-Song Word-Puzzle-Thingy Contest! Here’s how it works: We arrange words in an oh-so-clever way to represent the titles of popular love songs…
Dear DateSpacers:
Well, the election is (finally) over, and if–like Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack (and the Black Eyed Peas)–the last few months have had you wondering, “Where is the love?” then look no further. Love is back, Baby.
If you’re not convinced, we submit to you the conciliatory and, dare we say, loving speeches from Senators McCain and Obama from Tuesday night. Like we said: love is back.
Dear DateSpacers:
It’s Halloween, and we’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that just because you’re all grown up now doesn’t mean you can’t still be scared. Don’t believe us? Try renting the 1996 horror movie The Craft–it’s terrifying how bad a movie can be.
If that doesn’t work, consider for a second that in less than a week you may very well hear the phrase “Vice President Palin.”
Dear DateSpacers:
Ever find it hard to find something to talk about on your dates? Oy! Don’t I know! Finding a topic of conversation can be tougher than keeping my sister-in-law Sari out of the shoe department at Nordstrom’s. Forget it!
Well, don’t worry, Bubbalas. We all have this problem sometimes. But with the help of my idol, Coffee Talk’s Linda Richman, you’ll see it’s no big whup. What this woman can do! Here are a few of Linda’s topics to resort to in the event of an awkward silence:
Dear DateSpacers:
We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about our little love-makin’ jazz playlist we compiled for you a few weeks back. As one reader raves: “Thanks for the tuneage–my lady and I rode the Coltrane all the way to Love Junciton and back!”*
As such, we’ve decided to use this issue of Thursdates to launch a new series for the site: PlayDates. The idea is simple–soundtracks for your love life. We’re pulling together the best of the best songs by which to live and love.
Dear DateSpacers:
Whether or not you fasted today, we hope you brought your appetite, ’cause we’re serving up a hearty helping of DateSpace goodness tonight. Yes, you may want to take it easy on the brisket and smoked fish to save some room for Thursdates. Think of it as “Lox for Love.” (Gimel, dalet) Hey-o!
Dear DateSpacers:
Earlier today we sat down with CBS’ Katie Couric to discuss the recent state of DateSpaces.com. In line with our commitment to keeping you hip and informed, here’s a sneak peak of the soon-to-be-aired interview:
Dear DateSpacers,
Here’s a fact that may surprise you: whether you know it or not, if you are an American born before 1990, you are a certified Jazz Lover. How do we know? Because every living person meeting those criteria–regardless of race, creed, gender preference, waist size, etc.–loves Us3’s 1993 single, “Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia).” In terms of mass appeal, it’s right up there with “Hey Ya!” and “Tom’s Diner.” You may recall “Cantaloop” as the, “Dip trip, flip fantasia,” song. Don’t remember? Click here. Funky, funky!
