I Wish I Were An Octopus

I wish I were an octopus…
so I would have eight hands to grab your butt with. 😉

 

NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:

I’m taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I thought it would be fun to dig through the missed connections archive and re-publish some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around. Of the several hundred messages we’ve published on this site since launching in November, this crazy little secret admission is one of our most popular individual posts (according to Google Analytics, at least). Flashbacks of Beavis and Butt-head, anyone?

 

 

Missed Connections in Vermont: There Was A Fire In Your Pants

NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:

I’m taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I thought it would be fun to dig through the missed connections archive and re-publish some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around. Much like the Buffalo hamster message, this one takes a prize in the Random Weirdness category. Seriously, people working retail do not get paid enough to deal with the lunacy of shopping while human.

There Was A Fire In Your Pants
Missed Connections in Vermont

You were very intent on not flashing gang colors, which I guess is a smart move in Rutvegas, so I recommended some of the more generic bandannas to you, including the super-lame fireman one.
In case you wanted to roll with the firemen.
Then you told me there was a fire in your pants.

I’m not really sure where you were going with that one, but it’s irrelevant.
For the rest of my boring-ass day that dragged on and on, I was concerned about the fire in your pants.
Every time I thought about it I cracked a smile.

Anyway, the moral of the story is, if you’re gonna shop at my store, please have something interesting to say at the ready.
It doesn’t have to be as good as “fire in my pants.”  But it really helps.

I’m taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I thought it would be fun to dig through the missed connections archive and re-publish some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around. The Asheville MC has some pretty entertaining messages and this one tops the list by far. I’m not sure what space pants are but I bet Syd Barret circa 1966 owned a pair.

Rhine Sighting
Missed Connections in Asheville, NC

I think I saw a rhino riding a tandem bicycle with a unicorn on some back road in Nova Scotia.
I’m not sure where they were headed but it looked like fun!
I wasn’t close enough to see clearly but I think they were wearing knee socks with inappropriate language on them. . . !
So, if you think this is who you are looking for, come on over from upstate, we’ll have some salad and discuss the rhino situation.
Catch’ya later space pants!

I’m taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I thought it would be fun to dig through the missed connections archive and re-publish some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around.  This message from Portland, OR still brings a saucy smile to my lips – this is what the KC & the Sunshine Band song is all about, right? Be warned about any dancing in the lobby tho’ – the security cameras might be on…

In the Lobby
Missed Connections in Portland, OR

I thought you were a mugger…
After I saw you, I kind of wish you were coming to get me!
Just had to tell you that you are so beautiful, you left me speechless.
I hope you sneak up on me again, soon.

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

The Lovelorn Poets are taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I’m digging into the missed connections archive and publishing some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around!  This student video for Jonathan Richman’s song, Government Center, is worth repeated views simply for the office-guys dancing scene. You won’t be disappointed.

Stop & Shop
Missed Connections in Western Massachusetts

I’d like a girl to go grocery shopping with on occasion.
I enjoy smelling:
air freshener,
deodorant,
laundry detergent,
candles, and
soap
before I purchase them and
it would be nice to have someone there for a 2nd opinion.
Is that strange?
I dont think so.
You do it too and you know it! lol
