A Girlfriend Each Day Keeps the Job Opportunities Away. OMG Context PLZ. See, Allen watched 365 Days to the Wedding, and it's about a guy who doesn't want to go to Alaska. So he finds himself someone who can be his pretend-girlfriend, and then... problem solved, right? Right? Maybe, maybe not, but at least he's better off than... say, someone who actually goes out with the intent of meeting someone with honest intent. Wait, how does that make any sense? Drop by next week and find out, I guess. -Stig Høgset.
