Nationwide Domain Name/Yard Sign Conspiracy

Posted by timothy on from the tragically-yes-I'm-single dept.

robertjmoore writes "Everywhere I go lately, I see these lawn signs that say "Single?" and then give a URL with my town's name in it.

    $3600 is only 18 good nights out at the bar, so its relatively cheap in comparison.

    There is something wrong with either where or how much you are drinking.
