You Sold Me a Bear-Wolf-Cow for $.98
Missed Connections in Manhattan

I’m sure you and your friend from LA
were just reselling some Silly Bandz you’d had lying around,
but I was impressed with how you’d handled that man
pitching his pervert politics,
so I bought the sad-looking bear-wolf-cow.
My friend arrived before I could find out more
about how to care for a bear-wolf-cow,
and now things have already gone downhill.
The bear-wolf-cow won’t eat.
He won’t make a sound.
He just sits on my wrist, looking oval.
I think he misses you.

One of my favorite things about New York City is the non-stop hustle. Every street corner and imaginable space that one could legally (or illegally) occupy to sell music, sneakers, handbags, scarves, jewelry, books, kitchenware… has been staked out by an enterprising “entrepreneur.” You name it, there’s a square of concrete in Manhattan that someone is selling it on – including sad looking fake Silly Bandz made of reheated elastics and chewing gum.

Animal Crackers

I still find myself setting out each individual one
then slowly eating them limb by limb.
Generally the head goes first.

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconFor some reason this missed connect from Lexington, Kentucky reminded me of Silence of the Lambs. I realize there’s nothing overtly creepy about eating animal crackers, and many people do consume them in such a fashion (I guess??)… but why one needs to broadcast that out to the greater world just seems a little… odd? If I’m missing something here, let me know.

Horse Taxidermy Unicorn by Curious Expeditions

We Saw That Unicorn Together
Missed Connections in Jersey Shore

u swerved, i swerved…our eyes met.
we both knew we risked our lives to save it’s life and i know we were
both thinking the same thing:
why weren’t there any unicorn crossing signs posted.
all the taxes we pay and we cant even get a warning.
if u recall this incident and think we should go to the next town meeting and request these signs
or just get coffee and relive the incident, write me.

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconThe Jersey Shore missed connections feed cracks me up! What it lacks in volume it certainly makes up for in sheer entertainment value. When I selected this message I didn’t realize that one year ago today Jersey Shore was a featured spotlight – click the link above to see for yourself.  You can’t make this stuff up – believe you me…

Standing on 1 Foot for Wi-Fi
Missed Connections in Raleigh / Durham / CH

Wifi connection if I stand on 1 foot…

No problem, I’m a dancer.
You, red T-bird.
Me, just passing through.
I thought all I had to do to look up directions was buy a cup of coffee.
You single?

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconIsn’t it funny how our technology addiction forces us to engage in seemingly ridiculous behaviors? But seriously, who hasn’t done something as equally head shaking to get a connection? I’ll admit to parking in front of a school for an hour… fortunately I wasn’t taken for some sort of child stealer-stalker. If only free, public internet access was as easy as an inexpensive cup of coffee (note the qualifier of “inexpensive” coffee, please).

*sigh* Lines like this one always seems to work well in the movies which deludes people into thinking they’ll be equally as successful in real life. However, unless the person uttering this has a dashing smile, perfect teeth, and a mathematically precise cheekbone-to-jawbone ratio you’re already at a disadvantage. Consider yourself lucky, poet, if you escaped with a withering glance and a slightly ego-saving retort like, “Put a lid on it.” or “Why don’t you recycle that one with someone else?”
