Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 27, 2015
Transcript:
Lonely Lindy was lonely. So she went on Facebook to find old high school classmates. And looked up the skinny debate geek and the pimply tuba player and the sweaty yearbook editor... And Brock Rockson. High School quarterback, blond-haired stud, and muscled adonis, Brock's profile photo was the logo of the Detroit lions. 'He must have gone on to be a pro quarterback,' Lindy thought, as she sent Brock a Facebook message. 'Hi, I"m Lindy,' she said, 'I went to high school with you. Would dyou ever want to get coffee?' And to her surprise, Brock said yes. And on the day of the meeting, LIndy made herself as beautiful as possible for her high school adonis. Who showed up an hour late. Brock: Sorry. Was gambling on the ponies. You Lindy? Lindy deleted her Facebook account and set fire to her computer. Rat: Don't look back. Someone might be changing on you.
