Each week Houstonist checks out the Missed Connections on Craiglist. Here's a few that we found interesting. You were talking to a squirrel - m4w - 22 ...and I made some smartass comment. Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Sometimes those squirrels need to be told who's the boss.

Missed Connections is a plethora of behavioral and grammatical car accidents. But, who are we to say that folks should not be seeking out some sexual chocolate, a man whore or other shimmering holes. Whatever. Everybody's gotta be somewhere. By the way, come to the crawfish boil if you're looking for guys and gals from Volcano. Dick... East Beach Galveston - m4m - 60 Does anyone know what became of Dick, who drove a......

Lots of crazy people in the Missed Connections universe this week. Hotties are paging Dr. McDreamy. Bleeding heart poets pour out their souls while young trouser snakes are cougar stalking in Katy.

Each week Houstonist checks out the Missed Connections on Craiglist. We used to be baffled by your inability to express yourselves to your MCs but readiness to express yourselves to the world via an international Internet site - your words, not ours. Speaking of "your words," many of you seem to have steamer trunks full of flowing prose. Examples of MC novellas follow our MC crafted from your words. Crazy Sexy Cool Hello, Cougar,......

It's baseball season. Looks like the Houston area MCs are off to a better start than the Astros as pitchers and catchers reported for duty. Speaking of balls, bowlers seemed to be striking out with the pins and each other. Perhaps they needed some hot Luby?

Here's what we learned on Missed Connections this week. Private dancers are in demand. Chicks dig assholes. "Normal" guys like guns, but nice guys buy lunch. Weird guys love cabbage.

There's a first time for everything on Missed Connections like lap dances and ABS encounters. There's also the run of the mill rendezvouses being sought. A chicken lover wants to cluck. Nerds want nerds. Reading over 200 posts gave us a migraine. Anyone know a drunk, BBQ loving drug dealer? Any cops out there wanna hook a brother up? Looking for Brainy Smurf... - m4m - 35 Saw you last night at JR's and......

Houstonist is happy that we secured our Wilco tickets a couple of months ago, now that tonight's show at Verizon Wireless Theater is sold out. Jeff Tweedy and company consistently make great albums, even if the style is inconsistent with each album. The Chicago-based band's latest, Sky Blue Sky, is a little more mellow compared to their last few releases, but this song, "Impossible Germany," (the video was recorded live) is one of the......

Houstonist found this week's crop of Missed Connections sweet & torid but relatively dull until we found the Springer-tastic posts listed below. Looking for ROBIN - m4w - 52 Robin, we dated in 1991/1992 and then lost track of each other. You are from New Orleans, worked at the VA hospital and lived on South Main.

Missed Connections activity was all over the place this week. The grammatical debate from last week raged on amid newer posts, likely spoofs, stirring the pot. Chicks welcomed the freaky deaky and showed off their crotchular regions, or frotch as grandma says. Health clubbers didn't miss many connections, but there were still a lot of M4M misses. Luby's? Mmm. Ewww! One lady offered her advice to dudes seeking dudes - impromptu package checks. Grocery......

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......

Good morning, Houston. Seems like everyone's listening to iPods these days, eh? And even if you don't have one of the near-ubiquitous mp3 players, all might not be peace and quiet: As the AP notes, iPod-related noise pollution is a growing problem. It can happen in several ways, including people who turn their iPods up to top volume and others who sing along with the music in their heads. Bbut there are ways to......

This week's crop of Missed Connections seemed harmless enough, even sweet. But if you're Barnie's wife: 1. you may not want to read this & 2. how did you ever get used to spooning a large, purple polyester dinosaur?

Kings of Leon is a family affair. The Tennessee band consist of three brothers and a cousin. Formed in 2000, the Followill boys didn't take long to make an impression: their 2003 debut album was on many critic's year-end favorites and the band was asked to open up for U2 and others. In the late 90's, the only touring they did was to various religious tent revivals with their father, a Pentecostal preacher. No......
