Houston's Missed Connections: Gram are po lice

20070314_missed_connections.jpg

We witnessed a few firsts this week in Missed Connections. First, there was actually an MC at Bally's that doesn't involve two dudes and a steam room. Second, a self-flogging Rice jogger (or yogger) has asked voyeurs to flog themselves. And some lady got upset because a fellow commuter may not have wanted to "shoplift the pootie."

Is it just me? - 100

I know we write in a hurry.
I know typos are "aceptable".
I know online speech is different.
I know I'm no Shakespeare.
Yet, I can't stop asking myself...
Does anyone else feel that an obvious ignorance of the most basic conventions of grammar is reason enough to skip to the next post?
We need more English teachers.
Its no just you, fren. But how you doing this far every people on Craig lists? Hoefullee you will gain listen with Missers so improvemens can make.


Memorial Park Runner - w4m - 36

You are an absolutely gorgeous man. I see you running at the park almost every time I go, often two or three times a run! You are a dead ringer for David Lee Roth. Yesterday, you were wearing black shorts and sunglasses. I had blonde hair pulled back with a sports bra. What color was it?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Flo. What in the Wide World of Sports are you talking about? Your statements: "You are an absolutely gorgeous man," and "You are a dead ringer for David Lee Roth" are mutually exclusive. Stop by the office and we'll draw up a Venn diagram to demonstrate how far off base you are. Then, we'll recalibrate your taste buds with a bar of soap.

Wow. This is just like Knocked Up, but without the getting together part. Houstonist thought explaing records in the Steroid Era of Major League Baseball would confuse a little kid. There's no telling how much this would screw with your mini-me's head. Kids need parents, jackass, not just some dude who wants a tax write off.
