Drive By Dating

I thought I had heard of all the possible web sites until I read about a new one that is a long-shot to last. Of course it is an American idea. We may not be the best informed or smartest of people, but we do create more than any place else- both the good and bad. How does this site sound, Flirtingintraffic.com?
That's right. It's a drive-by dating site. How does it work? You create a profile, and then receive a sticker for your car with your member number. The next time someone catches your eye while you are driving in traffic, you look for their sticker (assuming they have one) and scribble down (before crashing the a car because of inattention to the road, I presume) their ID number and when you get home log on tot eh site and send that cutie a message displaying your interest. Supposedly, the purpose of such a round-about way of meeting someone and expressing interest is to reduce the fear of rejection that might happen if a driver flirts directly while driving. The site claims that 57 to 60% of all drivers flirt while stuck in traffic. But the site is new, with less than 3000 registered members, mainly in Pennsylvania where it has begun.
Yes, you guessed it. I event to the site to check it out. I did not register for it, as I know that if I flirted with any self respecting woman she would either ignore me or call the police and have me arrested for stalking....or I would wreck my car trying to write down her ID number. But I did look at the home page. It says right there that "Flirting in Traffic is kind of like internet dating IN REVERSE (Nice play on words to use an auto gear as an illustration of the site). It explains the registration process and for members (it's free to join) has the requisite 'Chat', 'Favorite', 'Messages' 'Shop', 'Help' and other features that most sites have.
There is even a dialogue box for a person to type in his or her "missed connection" story. That is, you tell the site how you missed the opportunity to meet that honey because she was just passing through too fast for you to make contact. The best stories win a Free FlirtOn T shirt.. Hmmmmmmmm I should register and make up a wild story. I know with my imagination I could be a winner....But alas! No need to join that one. According to the flirtintraffic site there are other ways to meet someone special, even if you are car-less. Flirtingatthebar.com has just started and few more are in the works- 'Flirting at the Beach', 'Flirting on Campus' and simply 'Flirting Around'.
Things must be getting back to normal in New Orleans. I know this because our educational institutions are making rumblings again...uh.. criminal rumblings. This week one teenager was arrested in class after he was caught with a loaded pistol and at an elementary school a 9 year old brought his Pokemon album to school for show and tell. The problem was, as he pulled out his album fro the duffel bag he borrowed from his dad, a small plastic bag of marijuana fell out too.
Haha When the teacher asked the boy what was in the bag and he replied "plant food". Unconvinced, police were called and in addition to the weed, found cigarette paper and clips. Dad was called and when he showed up admitted that the drugs were his, that he "forgot to remove them from the bag", after taking a fishing trip the weekend before.
Dad was arrested and booked with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The boy was turned over to his mom, the one who gave the child the duffel bag to take to school, but who apparently knew nothing about the drugs. Isn't education exciting these days!
