Oven Fried Buffalo Chicken

October 12, 2007

One of my good friends told me -- more like dared me -- to try Internet dating, not for the "find-your-true-love" aspect of it but more just because it’' something to pass the time when you're sitting at home. Alone. With nothing to do. Every weekend.
But my friend said I had to come up with a cool user name. That's what really lures them in, she said.

I thought long and hard, drank a few beers, flipped through a few magazines, and came up with what I thought was a hum-dinger.
Ovenfriedbuffalochicken.
Because, I thought to myself, what man doesn't love oven fried buffalo chicken?
My brief brush with Internet dating didn't work out, needless to say. My friend said that's because I tried it half-heartedly.
First of all, I didn't put my picture up on the site. I told her that's because I didn't want people to know what I looked like. (Ditto for my blog, incidentally).
And she said my user name wasn't exactly, well, enticing.
Apparently, no man wanted to date overfriedbuffalochicken.
