Craigslist: Missed Connections

craigslistmcbanner_big.png

Hooray, it's time to celebrate, here comes Fall. Sure it technically started a while ago, but with temps in the high 90's it's just hard to get in the groove. But as temperatures start to drop connections start to increase. Somewhat in the same numbers as the cold and flu, oh well, you have to take the good with the bad. Get out and enjoy yourselves because Ice Storm 2007 will be here before you know it! We're here to give you a jump start, just read below for the best of last week's Missed Connections...

Filth at Devendra Banhart Show

Alright so there was a guy in front of me at the show who kept farting at least once every song. It was pretty vulgar. I had to move, I couldn't handle it. It's funny because girls will blow out their colons holding farts in, but certain dudes will just let it go no matter where they are. It's disgusting and I almost puked. To the farter...please poop before you go to shows next time.

We don't want to be disparaging, because we love DB and we love you. But seriously, what did you expect?! The next coming of the folk music revolution and you expect squeaky clean?! Try eating every meal at Veggie Heaven and Mother's for a week, see how you sound. It's healthy, there's even a book!

"Have I always been such a dick?" you asked

Yes, I have, but I'm tired of pretending to be something that I'm not. Now that we havent seen each other in a while, I don't care how you perceive me anymore, and the fakeness needs to go. Its a new thing, and I am more content with myself now than I have been in a while. Does that make me a dick... ? Maybe to you. Maybe to others, too. But now at least I don't have to pretend anymore. Go on and get married why dont you? Now that you're with someone that you want to be with.

Preach it, sometimes that's just how it has to go down. If telling the truth about your idiot friends is being a dick, then I'll join the club.

Birdpoo Car-lady on 360 - m4w

It was near Spicewood Springs Road.

Me - gray Mazda.

You - maroon Chevy. At least I think it was maroon, it was hard to tell because YOUR CAR IS COVERED WITH POO!! Please wash it - that stuff can ruin your paint. What, do you park in a freakin' aviary?

Anyway, your back right tire was low and for god's sake use your blinker while you change lanes.

You may have been cute but to be frank, I didn't notice because I was in awe of the amount of crap on your car.

That's a lot of crap. No seriously, that is a lot of poop.

Ron Paul Rally, we discussed healthcare... - w4m

We talked briefly. I admire a lot about you.

Happy hour sometime?

That sounds like a riveting conversation and wacky fun. Only in Austin can there be this many libertarians hooking up at a rally. And if you say that you're a republican then you're an idiot and need to actually do your homework.

Cute Punchline comedian - w4m

You were the comedian last night at Punchline at Coldtowne Theater that went last and talked about kittens and calculators, downloading pies from the internet, etc... I'm in a relationship and very happy buuuut....I have a huge crush on you and think you are so funny and adorable and fantastic. I will probably picture you next time I'm sleeping with him.....probably tonight. :) Keep up the good stuff, funny guy. You rock.

See! We knew it would pay off one day. Chick's DO dig the funny. Oh yeah. Ladies get in line!

I am gonna marry the next Asian girl I find... - m4w

May the best Asian woman between the ages of 18 to 29 come first...lol really I am already on my knees here with a proposal running on my tongue...will you marry me?

Ahh, how many times have we tried that. It just never works out. We said that before we went to see Margaret Cho the last time she was in town, she was NOT amused.

God our sex was amazing............w4m

You know who you are...I figured since I met you here by accident I would post these thoughts. I won't call cuz I don't want to cause you any problems...just started to think about you.....I sure had fun....hope you did as well....Good luck hottie!!!! : )

1) We'd like to say thanks, it was good for us too.
2) For those who always ask if this place works we'd like to say, "You can achieve your goals, we are living proof."
3) Beef cake, beef cake.

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.

Sorry Dan, that's just the way it has to be.

 

That comic was really funny and cute. Too bad me and Ms. Missed connection were only 2 of like 12 people who were at that show--including the other comics.
