Libidinous Loner Seeks Love
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a lonely wolverine named Buddy has been spotted near Lake Tahoe:
A lone wolverine discovered in California almost 90 years after the species supposedly went extinct here is apparently searching for a mate that he might never find….”He marks his territory a lot,” Shufelberger said. “It’s breeding season, so he’s probably feeling lonely right now and searching for a female. It is sad.”
The article goes on to say that the “libidinous loner” has been unsuccessful at attracting other wolverines with his “masculine aroma.” After reading Buddy’s tragic story, I knew I had to do something. I immediately thought of OkCupid, a prominent internet dating site. My personal experience with OkCupid has been mixed. Here’s an excerpt from one of the first profiles the site matched me with:
My woman should be able to satisfy me during love making and am not afraid to give her all what she want in love making till she is drunk with my love.To add a few I am not a racist and I am very romantic.
That’s right–he’s romantic *AND* not a racist. Despite my reservations, I have full confidence in OkCupid’s ability to help facilitate hot, hot lovin’ for my wolverine friend. Please visit Buddy Wolverine’s profile.
**Update**
Buddy received his first message from an interested OkCupid member:

Way to go, Buddy Wolverine! Looks like your masculine aroma finally paid off!
Rocks on the Wall
As a librarian and former bookstore clerk, I have witnessed many curiosities. One of my favorite patrons came into the library today. As she was returning her book at the circulation desk, she exclaimed, “Oh darn, I forgot to bring in my rocks!”
“Your rocks?” inquired the circulation clerk.
“Oh yeah.” She leans closer to the clerk and gestures towards my office. “She’s going to love them!” Baffled, the clerk does not respond. She then starts singing. “Ninety-nine rocks and a rock on the wall….”
The clerk sent her into my office to pay an overdue fine. Unfortunately, she did not tell me about the aforementioned rocks. I hope she brings them in in.
