Last Chance To See 600 sq mi: Hidden
Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"
H-Town Rock
Rock Talk, Vol. IX
This week, Houston's Missed Connections on Craigslist conjured all sorts of images, and we just have one question: Are insurance adjusters all over Houston eating cobbler and proposing to single women? Or was that an isolated incident. And is "tall bear of a man" meant to be a line? Lastly, why discourage people from posting missed connections? They are so much fun!
Read on, young lovers.
Wed Night-Sweet angel dancing at Chayns
Hi,You look beautiful in black pants and black top with flowers....the best smile i have ever seen in my life and those cute and naughty eyes. I think you have Red Mustang:)
Thank you dancing with me....
Cute AND naughty eyes. Anyone who has ever seen Elisha Cuthbert in Girl Next Door knows this is a check plus plus in the dating world.
Seaching for Curtis, Insurance adjuster
Curtis, I only meant I couldn't go out that night, I didn't mean I wouldn't marry you. I haven't seen you since, I thought you liked my cobbler. Please respond. You know who I am.
We are unsure whether "cobbler" refers to a deep-dish fruit dessert or is a clever euphemism for nooky (which is a much less clever euphemism). Either way, the fact this person has to leave Curtis a note on Craigslist indicates they haven't developed the kind of intimacy necessitated by marriage. Anyone who has watched the Britney Spears Federline train wreck should heed our warning: don't enter into marriage lightly.
seeking RMT BRAD, from health masters
hello. i am looking for a massage therapist named BRAD who studied and did his intership at health masters. this was a few years back... you are tall bear of a man. if you you read this be in touch, i have tought of you from time to time. thanks.
How thrown were we that this poster described the missed connection as a "tall bear of a man." This conjures all kinds of images that, frankly, refute the typical physique of a massage therapist. Maybe his grizzly hands are great for kneading back knots (and presumably other body parts the poster is more interested in). Who knows?
be bold....missed conns are hard to find
next time you have that weird feeling, be bold and speak up!!!....i would just die if someone came to me on the street and said "you're hot, wanna go for a beer".....lol, what a story that would be for your grandkids!!!!
This is new to Houstonist: a missed connection message used to urge people not to have missed connections. We admit, we sometimes wish that hottie making eyes at us at the Metro stop would be brazen enough to say something. But, then, it goes both ways, and we don't usually speak up either. Plus, if more people actually admitted their attraction rather than passive-agressively writing an MC, we might be out of a job. So continue, wary Houstonites, being afraid of outright rejection. We stand behind you.
