What They Found

MyBoot.com (the original site is gone, but thanks to the wonder of web archives its ghost will haunt the web forever)

Where to begin?  I can’t even remember how I found the site, back in the era of America Online  and the WHASSUUUUUUP commercials. It’s been a while, but Craig Mitchell’s 23-part Novella “She Hates My Futon” is still just as readable as it was back in 1999 when I discovered it, and still just as incomplete.  Essentially, it’s the allegedly true story of the author’s exploits after signing up with the “Girlfriend Express” dating agency.  Coming from me, this sounds pretty unenticing.  However, the author is one of those natural story tellers with a great writing style.  The perils of dating single mothers, 80’s nostalgia, team naked, rocket ship playground slide sex.  There’s a reason I’m not the only person wondering what happened to him or why he never finished this piece of work.  A copy of the full text can be found here if you happen to enjoy it, and I hope you do.
