Whirling, Chaos Of My Dreams
Missed Connections in Oklahoma City

Here I sit, waiting for your return.
Gary England assured me that you would be here, but alas, you merely circled my perimeter and left love debris on my lawn.
I feel like our relationship has grown weary,
what with your last visit being in May of 2009…
you must have grown tired of me and the rest of Sooner Nation.
Was it something I said?
Something I did?
If you could just give me a sign…
a vortex… something.
Just to let me know you are there.
I would welcome the unavoidable roof repair just to hear your whistling song once more.

Reddit has eclipsed Pinterest as my latest diversion as it’s a good place to find “unusual” missed connections. Like this one from Oklahoma City about a tornado (fyi – Gary England is the local weatherman). I love the closing line about hearing the whistling song but something tells me it might be more romantic in print than in real life. Aren’t there other ways to get back to Oz, Dorothy?

Ocean Township Police Cop
Missed Connections in Jersey Shore

You stopped me for not wearing a seatbelt.
Before you got out of your car, I did put the seatbelt on.
When you approached me ,you ask me if I just put my seatbelt on, and I said no.
You said don’t lie to you, I eventually said yes.
Thank you for not giving me a ticket, you are awesome.
I would like to give you a kiss.

 For those of you who follow my missed connections musings, you know that the Jersey Shore feed is a pretty “special” place. In fact, I thought it was so entertaining that it was my very first featured location spotlight back in January of 2011. Since that time I’ve featured almost every feed I follow and now we’ve come full circle back to the start  – and this couldn’t be the more perfect message to begin with. Adding tips to the list of How Not to Get Stopped by the Police? Wear your seatbelt. And if you forget, lie, and offer kisses. That’s the Jersey Shore way!

Missed Connections in San Francisco

naan n curry girl —
I couldn’t think of a better or more bizarre way of telling you how much you mean to me and how wild I am about you.
Every day, you ring me up for my sarson ka saag in a way no other person can or does.
You make my order of Paneer Tikka Masala (on those off days) and me, feel special.
Real special.
I can’t thank you enough.
Naan n curry girl, you light up my life and make me excited to imagine you eating gobi paneer sizzler in my arms.
You seem like the vegetarian type.
Am I wrong?
Anyway, this may never get read, but I imagine going on a walk with you and an adorable little pooch someday.
I also imagine having a craft day in a craft room we share and it’s raining outside.
I like crafts.
Your jewels and makeup give me the impression you may be pretty crafty yourself.
I am going to a little place called Avalon real soon.
By boat.
It would be a dream come true if you joined me.
It’s magical, just like you naan n curry girl, and your beautiful eyes.
Until my next ghulab jamun from you (could you possibly talk to the manager about knocking a few pennies off the price? thanks), know that I love you.

 It sounds like our poet eats a great deal of Indian food. Wonder which attraction came first – the Naan n Curry food or the Naan n Curry girl? This brief little soundtrack piece from The Screamers is totally unlike the rest of their synth-punk material but it had the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Kind of like a mango lassi and samosas…

We stared at each other for quite some time last night across that crowded bar.
You, wearing, well, clothes.
I caught your eye and you smiled at me.
I smiled back. You tossed your hair.
I was shy and looked away.
I should have come up to you and said hello.
Thrown out a cheesy pickup line.
Not that I thought they’d work on you, but that you might laugh at my cheesiness.
But I didn’t.
I’m shy.
So here’s a list of cheesy pickup lines:

1.  Did you fart? Because you blew me away.
2.  If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.
3.  Do you have a Band-aid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you..

Which one is your favorite? (note from the ed. #1 !!!! You’re either 12 or deserve an immediate slap upside the head. #2 Little did you know the “X” thinks the better place for you is in the I-C-U… and #3 Aaaaaawwwww…kind of cute in a Jason Schwartzman Bored to Death geeky hipster kind of way.)

Welcome to Fromager’s Finest – fondly referred to as Things I Should Have Said To You At The Bar Last Night. This unique and insightful individual published a voluminous list of “cheesy pick up lines” and generously shared them through the San Fran missed connections feed. So, grab your favorite adult beverage, enjoy some fromage, and maybe…just maybe…get inspired to try one out for real!


Missed Connections in Ann Arbor, MI: You Know…Some Days I Truly Wonder…

You Know…Some Days I Truly Wonder…
Missed Connections in Ann Arbor

If we could have just one night, like that night we shared…
You brought the tequila and we spilled our guts to each other, while my roommate slept.
Can i help it if i want to hold you like i held you that night?
I remember you commented on how hard my heart was pounding.
What i wouldn’t give, to hold you again…
…For you to be mine, for a night.
Why not call?
Set aside some time.
You still have my number.
Its that easy.

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconHer Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
Most people are pretty familiar with Tequilia – the 1958 Latin-influenced instrumental by The Champs (and forever engrained in a generation’s mind from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure) but what about this follow up tune? Much like our Ann Arbor poet, The Champs didn’t get a second time on the charts. Missed connections and music halls are littered with one-hit wonders and one-night stands…
