I attended the U of O version of Singled Out. I competed in two rounds for a prize eighteen-year-old girl and dinner at the Olive Garden, but, needless to say, I didn't win either girl. (I did bring home a fabulous lint roller as a concession prize, though.) In the first round, I was eliminated in the category of phobias. The three choices were spiders & bugs, commitment, and heights. I chose heights, and that did me in. (Apparently, fear of commitment or of bugs is more desirable in a man.) In the second round, I lasted a bit longer but was ultimately done in by my haircut. The three choices were shaggy, clean cut, and military cut. Inexplicably, the girl eliminated all the clean cut guys. So here I am home alone in my dorm room. How tragic for me. Although some might argue that I really have no business dating anyone born after the Reagan administration.

But in one frame I discovered a surprise visitor:
