Here's my pick... I hate french new wave cinema. Book People, 2/13 - w4m - 26 Reply to: pers-135633242@craigslist.org Date: 2006-02-20, 11:02PM CST You: Eyes like fire-lit caverns and embellished forearms I'm sure all the hipster girls make superfluous gestures just to brush up against. You were strutting around as if you had a lost Ginsberg poem written on a matchbook in your back pocket. Me: Drinking corporate coffee, in need of Cliff's Notes. Thinking you probably have a pretentious bisexual girlfriend who's into French New Wave cinema and corrects people when they mispronounce 'Godard.' But if you ever feel like slumming it, drop me a line- the name's Alice.

hilarious. big brother is watching, from atop his sopa box, while huffing nitrous, with one hand in his pants and the other pointing a fniger of castigation and moral superiority in your direction. yikes.

On a (very slightly) related note, don't you worry that you are pretty much turning people gay and causing teachers to come on to their innocent students by running this column? At least, that's the impression I get from KXAN's latest XXXpose "Digital Deviance". Be sure to watch tonight at 10 to see how you can protect YOUR FAMILY from this epidemic. Or, just click on Haley Stavinoha's Video Blog on the KXAN website to watch her make a fool of herself trying to create a cause / effect relationship between craigslist and society's unprecendented interest in sex. Hey, maybe they'll mention YOUR name and car license plate number.

I know, john, that's what i am talking about. peiople better start acting embarrasing and/or scanadalous soon or this thing won't work. have you seen SF or NYC MC's? now that's some good shit. come on austin, step it up! the other finalist was a girl who met a guy (FINALLY, she says) at karaoke with friends, got wasted and then screwed the guys brains out but could't decide when she left in the morning whether she shoul leave her number or not cuase didn't know if the guy would want it. huh? you can leave your bodily fluids all over his sheets but not your phone number, even though you want a repeat performance? care.

well, what i was really expecting was for her to come knocking on my door saying, "hey, i think you posted a missed connection regarding me, do you want to fuck?" instead i just found out from the office, that she's requested to move to the other side of the complex, go figure?! people better start posting hot shit more often. this column is good and all, but it pretty much sums up 99% of the missed connection posts and you can only do this exact story once!
