Being creatively neutered at the moment...

...I decided to find an anonymous penpal for intellectual correspondence and I promptly blew it. I guess I should have specified my intentions for the endeavor as he should have as well, but then the Craigslist heading under which he placed his ad was "Strictly Platonic" as in

strictly –adverb

in a strict manner; rigorously; stringently: strictly enforced.
platonic–adjective
purely spiritual; free from sensual desire esp. in a relationship between members of opposite gender.

So what the fuck, dude? One to two sentence answers with no regard for the spell check now inherent in most applications. No hobbies or interests. So yeah, no. Had to go for the throat.

"Did you just not have the balls to post under 'casual encounters' or did your completely inane prose net you no responses there?"

I did hold back. I even gave him the option to pretend to be interesting, but no. Back to the drawing board.
