This is Weediculous

Single farmers in Vermont give 'weed dating' a whack
TUNBRIDGE, Vt. — Ben Wolfe was a little nervous, he admitted, as he stood waiting one recent afternoon at Tunbridge Hill Farm in central Vermont.

His apprehension had nothing to do with farming, and everything to do with meeting someone new. He was about to participate in an event called weed dating, a meet-up for single farmers looking for a date or a mate.

Weed dating is a variation on speed dating, in which participants meet in pairs for a few minutes, typically in a bar or restaurant, and then move on to another rapid pairing. It was the brainchild of Jean and Wendy Palthey, who have farmed in Tunbridge for 18 years.

"We have this one young guy who works for us," Jean Palthey says, "and he's single and lives in Chelsea, and we were joking that there are not a lot of young, single people around here, so we came up with this idea."

Much weeding but no weddings yet

Weed dating takes place on farms among rows of sprouting produce. Participants weed a row with a potential romantic interest, then move on to another row and another partner. At the end of the day, some people might have cultivated a mutual interest — and no matter, the field is freshly weeded.

By the sounds of it, the only thing he will be whacking at is himself after this date. Besides everyone knows weeding is womens work, so I cant really see this working at all. Even if it did its still not anything like speed dating. You cant just set an alarm on your phone and say you have a family emergency to get out of it. I mean, your weed dating, theres no way in hell you have any family or friends at that point. You could get stuck there for an hour with some bitch talking about how she has sex with horses or something. I mean jesus, you cant even lie about where you work and make yourself sound better. Sounds like weed dating is pretty Weetaded...
