Craigslist: Beat The Heat

What's the deal with the heat? Oh yes, we're in Texas during the month of July. If we have one more person ask us if it's "hot enough for us" we're going to snap. Although perhaps we can melt some of those polar ice caps to help cool this place down. We assume that everyone was out at the lake, because there was apparently no one experiencing and posting missed connections. Even with the heat, we were still able to hunt down the best of last week's Missed Connections.

Last night on horrid 6th st - w4m - 24

You were outside smoking a cigarette, possibly many cigarettes since you stood there as long as I did. You were looking at me often. The least you could have done was tell me my zipper was down!!! I didn't notice until I got home...an HOUR later. Trust me, the two seconds of embarrassment (that both of us may suffer) from informing me beats the embarrassment of knowing that nearly all of 6th st on a Friday night got a glimpse of my goods! Next time, be a good samaritan. Please. For the sake of shy people like me.

What can you say, it's a valid request. Let's show a little courtesy people! Remember, if when you're out drinking, give folks a signal if they've forgotten to close the barn door after they've broken the seal.

Barton Springs Ladies - m4w

TO ALL THE LADIES AT BARTON SPRINGS A BIG THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT THAT MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE!!!! PEACE...

This guy has a point. We just hope he's not that creepy guy who sits over by the diving board in clown makeup.

i'm so sorry

I hope you found the airport okay. As soon as I drove away, I realized I told you north when I meant south. I felt so horrible, but there was no way to find you again. I really hope you didn't miss your flight.

That's what ya get for asking directions around here! Ya won't be coming back from Cali anytime soon will ya! Maybe next time you'll get a GPS. Trust us, it wasn't an accident.

Documentary on Missed Connections:

An Austin production company, Action Figure, is creating a documentary TV series on Missed Connections and love at first sight. If you’re willing to talk to us about what has inspired you to post a message, please send an email with background information on your missed connection. Regardless of the outcome of your posting, we’d like to hear from you.

Listen up folks, if you've had a MC go right it's time to shout out. Give these folks a holler. Although if the post below is any sign it's possible they won't be getting a response. Wow, what a downer.

missed connection with life

why does it seem that most folks wind up with the wrong people. where is the one i was supposed to end up with? are you out there? the one who likes to cuddle, kiss, the one who just likes being around me? where is he???? somedays i hate this place...this place that leaves me lonely without you...and with him...life is so unfair

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.
