Craigslist: Summer Connections Are Here

hippyhollowbanner.jpg

Throw in some margarita-fueled, sunburned missed connections and you've got the start of some real summertime madness -- just the ones on Lake Travis, at Bull Creek, and at apartment pools alone outnumber all other genres of posts this week. Enjoy this week's delayed Memorial Day MCs, and let us know if we missed any of your favorites.

me: guy in cowboy hat with radio playing, drinking some beer on a cliff you: swimming and walking around. you posted up a few times close to me and we kept making eye contact.

Uhhm, see, well... You just described everyone at HH. Which is great for you because you are probably getting a lot of response emails. You'd probably need to be more specific, but that's tough to do in this case. And our question is, what does the phrase "some beer" mean?

Feel It, Champ! - w4m

you: cute redhead on your bike me: injured jogger trying to stretch through the pain i had to cut my morning run short, but you made me laugh - thanks, hope you have a great day : )

On the outside this is a really lame post, but when you realize that the heading is the actual quote from the young woman, it sorta comes together.

John from the Sinus Show, I love you - w4m

Yes, I know it's just infatuation from far away because you're so funny and talented and cute, but I don't care. We were meant to be together. I'm meant to kiss your adorable bald head, and you're meant to make fun of me. We'll be the perfect couple. Think about it...

Geez. These guys must be getting rock star level dates. Who said being funny didn't pay off? This is by no means the first of these statements we've heard about the boys. Good for them, we suppose. Perhaps the girls can start a Sinus Stalking Club.

I wanted to reproduce in the produce... - m4w

Sunday afternoon, I was out buying some groceries and stumbled across this very beautiful woman in the produce section. She was wearing a black top, khaki shorts, and had her brown hair up in a pony tail. We met eyes a couple times and I found myself catching my breath. I wish I would have had the apples to go up and introduce myself... alas, I didn't. Now I regret it.

No, No, No. See, you need to get your missed connection post down correctly. Don't offer to have sex with them in the grocery store, use cliches like you 'couldn't catch your breath,' or attempt to use a weak pun. Just a short and sweet post will do the trick and get you that much further to a response. Try it next time and let us know.

That's it for this week. If we missed any of your favorites just post them for us all to view. We'll be back next week with a new round up. Until then, may you find Peace, Love and Connections.
