1-800-Adopt-A-Dude: Because Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dudes Struggle Each Day

[font color=green]Okay ladies, I'm available and have more skills than any of these dudes. Adopt me NOW!!! NSFW photo available on request if you PM me.

Marketable skills: Reconcile checkbooks, wash dishes, remembers that when using a screwdriver it's righty-tighty and lefty-loosey, fluent in LOLCatese, provides hugs when appropriate.[/font]



Melissa Hunter is an LA-based comedian who noticed a little something about boys. Namely, how they seemed to stay… boys. Bros living with a dozen roommates. Guys eating Pop-Tarts for dinner. Dudes never buying toilet paper. Even when, perhaps, they should be men. Because they are 33 years old. Hypothetically speaking. Channeling her frustration into hilarity, Hunter, along with writer-actress Megan Rosati, wrote and filmed “1-800-Adopt-A-Dude,” which asks us, “Will you be an angel for a fully grown, yet utterly helpless man?”

Resist, otherwise someday you'll be looking at the toxic waste dump he left in the kitchen and you'll loss it. Your only hope will be the woman trial judge who once adopted a dude, fully understands and rules justifiable homicide.

Don't fall for those big sad puppy-dog eyes! He will suck all the life out of you (and the cash in your bank account!)


The one in the 8 x 10" glossy is gorgeous, but you know you will get the barfer! Trust me on this! RESIST!!!!

. . . for In_The_Wind's willpower.

I don't need something else to take care of. But if you have a nice Shh Tzu we can talk.
