We Met at the Bills Game

Met at the Bills Game and I Called You a Dirty Little Hamster
Missed Connections in Buffalo, NY

Looking for the brown haired girl who was wearing a Lee Evans jersey.
You tried to sell me a used ticket stub for 20 dollars.
Out of anger I called you a dirty little hamster and then proceeded to tell you to lick my balls.
You then started to chase me down on foot for what seemed like a mile.
I eventually hid out near the porta-potties where I lost you.
You told my friend you were going to find me and punch me in the face but I’m here to make that easier for you.
I hope we can put our issues behind us and be friends because I think you’re hot.

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

It’s summer vacation time here at Lovelorn Poets HQ and from now to July 15 we’ll be digging into the missed connections archive and publishing some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around. This crazy message from Buffalo, NY is one of my all times favorites – and the question still remains, “How much did the hamster modeling agent know about the photo shoot before their client was sent in?” Welcome to show biz, folks!

 

Missed Connections in Anchorage, AK: Maybe It Was From Giving Blood…

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

It’s been some time since we’ve featured a message from “the last frontier” of Alaska and as I had this golden-oldie hit by Paul Davis running through my head (thank you Pandora?) it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Apologies to those folks who remember incessantly listening to this one back in 1977.

Maybe It Was From Giving Blood, But You Made My Knees Weak…
Missed Connections in Anchorage, AK

We chatted this afternoon when I came in to give blood. You said you were a mover and a shaker when I asked if you had any plans tonight. You are absolutely gorgeous, I wish I hadn’t been so shy. I can’t believe I’m actually posting this, but I can’t remember the last time someone struck me like that. I know it’s a long shot, but if you do read these, I’d love to continue chatting some time with you.

Missed Connections in Seattle, WA: Of Minds And Moons

Of Minds And Moons
Missed Connection in Seattle, WA

Apparently the moon is in the “Stupid” phase …again….
as so many struggle harder to try to figure out what the heck is going on?
“Maps” are needed to find “Lost” minds.
Duct tape and super glue are still being used at alarming rates.
Another box of “Lucky Charms” cereal is cracked open and suns…hearts…moons…and clover are pasted across many monitors.

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

I’m not so sure if the phases of the moon have anything to do with people engaging in random acts of dumbness, but I am curious to know what this message is attempting to communicate.  This whimsical photo by Jessie Terwilliger, whose work has previously appeared on Lovelorn Poets,  is a perfect match – the two creatures appear lost (sinking almost) in the sea of candy colored marshmallows. Lucky indeed!

Missed Connections in Austin, TX: You Were Arresting A Hobo

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

The word “hobo” is one you don’t hear very often (at least in the Northeast) – homeless, squatters, and panhandler are pretty common terms but “hobo” reminds me of  some old-fashioned freight-train-hoppin’ wanderer. Guess that’s still the norm for the Southwest! While Johnny Law nabbed this one and earned themselves a secret admirer, let’s hope the hobo made it out of town ok…

You Were Arresting A Hobo For Sniffing Paint

This is probably inappropriate…
but if you see this, I’d love to meet you again.
Only this time, not in the parking lot of a Whataburger at 3 in the morning 🙂
P.S. Thanks for the gloves 🙂

Missed Connection in Washington, DC: Adorable Girl At Retina Center

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

Gary Gilmore’s execution was a somewhat famous one as he was the first convicted murderer sentenced to die after the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976 (talk about throwing those peace, love, and hippie days of the 60s right out the window…). However, did you know that he was executed by firing squad in Utah and that his eyes and organs were donated? So, yes, there are two people out there who truly are “looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes.”

I went to a retina specialist in Fairfax last week and noticed you for the second time. My vision was bad (thus the visit), but you looked stunning as you were the first time I saw you (again, with lousy vision). I can’t wait to require more eye help again.
