Have you heard of Quechup?

I didn't think I had, either, but I apparently signed up for it -- when I was tricked into thinking it was a Facebook-like social networking site, and that I'd been invited by one of my blogging friends. For some time now, Quechup has been sending me e-mails saying I'm getting messages -- all from attractive young women.

Needless to say, I didn't bother to click the links back to the site and have allowed the messages to die a slow death in my spam folder. (I promise, honey.)

I don't know who these women are -- but let's just say that way, way back, when I did actually use online dating sites, I didn't get a message from a hot babe on an every-other-day basis.

So I'm assuming they're about as real as those invitations to collect the 10 million pounds that a Nigerian refugee has left in a London bank.

But just in case I'm wrong, I have protected the identities of these lovely young women with some brilliant Photoshop manipulation. Here are the messages I've gotten just since April:



On a not related note, if you didn't see this fall-on-the-floor-laughing TV news report on Spin Thicket, you have to watch it. It's worth it.
