So THIS is what people who write missed connections are like.

― jessie monster, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Doesn't inspire confidence, does it. Still, I never read them, so who knows whether I'm missing something.

― Laurel, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

there should be a missed missed connections section

― s1ocki, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

they're always so vague.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I bet they are ALL about you, Laurel.

― jessie monster, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

me and the ex used to read the "i saw you"s in the chicago reader when we'd go out for breakfast on saturdays. before i moved in with her and i wasn't going to see her that weekend i sent one in but she never saw it.

they're usually pretty good for a larf or a "oooooooh, that's creeeeepy" type of thing.

MY LINK TITLE

― ian, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Sadly none appear to have anything to do with me! Lots are v race-specific, though -- how can you be sure someone is Persian, for instance? I guess if you overhear them speaking other languages it's a good bet.

― Laurel, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

or saying, in english, "GOD DAMN IT I NEVER SHOULD'VE LEFT PERSIA."

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

it was the rug she was carrying. always a safe assumption.

― kenan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

one good persian deserves another?

― ian, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to start winking at people on the train and see if anyone posts about it. I may have to go outside of my normal car, though.

― Laurel, Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

you: awesome shoes and facial tic
me: dude with wet, hacking cough, persistant limp, and full-on hand tremors
where: jmz during rush hour

i can tell by your spastically twitching face that you are the type of person who won't judge me based on my own physical infrimities. get together for coffee? wear a raincoat (the tremors).

there was this one guy on the arlington message board who kept posting missed connections about various women at the safeway around the corner from my house (which culminated in "ME: DUDE YOU: ALL OF THE WOMEN AT THE SAFEWAY" msg). there was one posted that could've been about me but also could've described about 800 other people too, i mean "blonde bogarting the entire wine aisle" isn't exactly a me-only type of thing in virginia. i kind of started going there all the time just to see if i could ever figure out who this dude was. he loved ALL of the ladies at the safeway, indiscriminantly.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

he loved ALL of the ladies at the safeway, indiscriminantly.

i kind of feel the same way about the blue line in chicago from washington to damen during rush hour or on friday nights. *sigh* so lovely.

UNION SQ WHOLE FOODS RAWR

i have better luck at the secret safeway, the whole foods around here are all full of soccer mom and horse-faced debutants.

there are absolutely 0 cute hipsters at my local supermarket. and only the rare milf-y type.

― ian, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

kenan, are you a lady on the blue line? if so i retract my earlier statement.

ian, you'd love my supermarket, it's chock full of hipster girls that are about a decade too young for me.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't think that means i'd love your supermarket. overkill.
unless your supermarket has really cheap and delicious cheeses.

i have a missed connection with the east village cheese shop.

― ian, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

me: craving dairy
you: FULL OF CHEESE

― kenan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

my supermarket has nothing, usually and what little there is has never been cheap. god i hate that place.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

AWESOME. There's a missed cx ad for the Penguin-Putnam building, am trying to find out what floor(s) their production department(s) are on. Sooooo good for gossip.

― Laurel, Friday, 2 March 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

haha laurel's hooked on craigslist now.

― ian, Friday, 2 March 2007 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, well, every day brings fresh hope that clean-cut prep-school blonde on train this morning has maybe posted. Or the slightly shaggier one with the pretty pout and the navy parka from the other day. Etc.
