Escape to RomanceHere's a blogmeister that runs a romantic Powerball and offers the following: "Romantic_atlanta_2 Are you a member of the Mile High Club? Would you like a free membership? Here is your chance to make your fantasy a reality with the amorous, single webmaster of Grow-a-Brain and the southern hospitality of the folks at Mile High Atlanta." Do you qualify?

What's so spectacular about cramped, uncomfortable, unbalanced sex?

Maybe another mefite will agree, and they can post pics of the meetup.

How nice that the folks at Mile High Atlanta let you keep your sheets at the end of the flight. I wonder where the camera is hidden.

So basically what this blogger guy is doing is putting out a bid for a whore. Between the weekend at the winery, the $300.00 cost for the mile high club membership, and whatever expenses it takes to fly the girl down to Atlanta, he's dropping about a grand.

Pathetic. Why doesn't he just play an hour of Microsoft Flight Simulator and then go spank it to some porn like the rest of us?

On the other hand, imagine the response if this was an OK looking woman making the offer?

I think some women might be intrested in taking him up on the offer, but There are no pictures of this guy! Who is going to agree to fuck someone sight unseen? No one, that's who.

Interesting tactic on his part. Since the winner is confidential he do this as many times as he likes. Good luck to him?

monju-bosatsu's mentioned it, but it's worth being clearer about this: the link goes to a MeFi member's site.

"The Champion Company?" More like the Jerk-Off company. If this isn't a joke, it should be.

Get Your Own Flying Burrito? What does that have to do with this? Anyway, That site is interesting in the traditional "blogger" sense. But, I'm not sure that single entry was worth a FPP. That said, NationalKato, it's all about sex in any manner I guess. Some people seem to get more pleasure out of where than with who.

As for hiring a pro, I'm sure he could have done that. It sounds like he is looking for a particular type of woman and this is simply the weeding out process...or, at least, it's an international personals ad.

Wait, you're linking to the typepad account of a known MeFi member to promote some kind of convoluted, amoral and wholly un-Christian adultry scheme?

Even my exploding head has little recursive exploding heads on it.

Wow, those are brutal comments...
And I thought it may cost about $2,500....

jesus, people are getting pissy in here. It's just an invitation to sex, folks. Haven't you ever invited a person to fuck before? So what if it's more of an open invitation? Damn. I admire the man's tenacity.

Uhmm... good luck...?

Me, I'm just jealous that you have a coupla grand to spend, much less to spend it on having sex with some stranger.

From the 'about' page: Right now, I am looking to find a wonderful woman in my life, who'd like to start new life with me in New Zealand. Please inquire within.

We're hijacking this Mile High flight and takin' it to Noo Zee-land!

Fortunately, this trend of people using the internet to find sex is likely to be short-lived.

Are you high? The internet was invented specifically for the purposes of finding sex.

Now if only people knew what to do with it once they found it. That's why the bubble burst, y'know.
