How To Meet That Loud, Annoying, and Embarrassing-To-Be-Around Friend Halfway

Have you ever hurtled through space, dodging asteroids and other interstellar detritus, and wondered when someone was going to find the next inhabitable planet already because dang, it’s hotter than Hades in your studio-apartment-sized moon-hopper?

You haven’t?

Well, have you ever let a pile of unread magazines grow so tall that you wished an elf would materialize from your toaster oven and draw you a long hot bubble bath?

No?

Have you ever tried to make plans for dinner with a friend whom you don’t really like because all they do is talk, talk, talk about their boring life with their boring family in their boring house and you resent having to drive all the way over to their side of town because when they ask, “Where shall we meet?”, you can’t think of a place before they throw out the perfect little spot on their side of town? Don’t you wish someone would create a website where all you have to do is enter your address and their address and voila! – you get a list of restaurants that are halfway between you and your blowhard buddy?

Here we are! Yes, look no further than mezzoman.com for your “Neither Here Nor There” needs. mezzoman.com is the perfect geographical compromise companion when you need to, say, get together to sign those divorce papers, or find a neutral public location in broad daylight for that internet blind date. Why go all the way when halfway is good enough? Why go clear across town to their House of Pancakes when you can go the halfway House of Pancakes?

Thank you, Amy, for telling Nanny Goats In Panties about mezzoman.com

If you fancy yourself the discoverer of a cool or useful website that everyone in the world isn’t talking about already, let Nanny Goats In Panties Know About It. If it passes the Turn Your Head And Cough test (you know, if it isn’t just a webpage with a big picture of someone’s engorged entrails, but rather a site that maybe sells foldaway away furniture for your tiny shoebox of a shack in space) then feel free to suggest it here, or click on the new suggestion box and tell us about it. Maybe we’ll mull it over and pass it on to the rest of the NGIP fans.

And now it’s time for …

Melly from Cooking Schmooking who for some reason recently found it necessary to buy some halibut cheeks and is requesting recipes for it. If you don’t know what halibut cheeks are, she’s got a picture. So send your recipe for Halibut Sweet Cheek Surprise to Cooking Schmooking.

…and Lori of Hahn at Home who gives us a humorous, well-written and engaging look at the woes of lesbian dating in her post, Dating For The More Mature Crowd.
