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…

To The Viking That Fell Down On The Bus Today
Missed Connections in Brooklyn

You tripped and stumbled over a cat.
and i could see by the way you caught your balance that you’re a master of eagle claw kungfu.
you were wearing a loincloth and I could see that your bonch was protruding significantly.
I was the man on the back of the bus in the lobster costume.

That’s one wild bus-ride! Where else but Brooklyn could you possibly find cats, kung-fu Vikings, and men in lobster costumes all in close proximity? While I understand the Viking connection for the Music Guru’s soundtrack pick, I’m lost if there’s any deeper meaning in the lyrics. However, I did learn that the Del Vikings were one of the first integrated rock-n-roll vocal groups in the mid-1950s – part of the effort to make sure everyone gets to sit wherever they want to when riding the bus (but something tells me lobster-man is probably stuck sitting alone most of the time..).

Bearded Hot Love, Long Dark Hair, I Miss You
Missed Connections in Savannah/ Hinesville

hey you, with the dirty hot beard and long locks of love and lust, i saw you at the food court.
you were munching away on some delicious cajun cafe.
your soggy noodles and yellow rice sticking to your sweaty beard. you looked up from your feast and laid your eyes upon my glistening bosom and i knew you wanted me for your afternoon snack.
let’s meet again, i want to picture you on the floor with your laptop sitting there in your underwear… you cool guy…. call me.

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconWho would have thought the Food Court at the mall could create such a sexually charged atmosphere? This post reminded me of the one from Nashville that I featured a few weeks back (where the girl runs off with the guy’s artificial leg) perhaps our temptress has moved east and has a new target in their sight… stay tuned!

I've reached the end of the world by Trey Ratcliff

 

Bipolar Bear
Missed Connections in Philadelphia

Can someone please tell me on which day the world will end as we know it
so that I can mark it on my calendar?
And on and on the rain will fall like tears from the son like tears from the son.
For I was born beneath an angry sky lest we have forgotten how fragile we are.
But make no mistake, we are going back to the lake.

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

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconI find it amazing how obsessed people can be about the “end of the world”. Every few years there’s a new theory that folks direct all their energies to… meanwhile the earth struggles along through our environmental abuse and scientific ignorance. Perhaps if we all made it “back to the lake” a bit more often, we’d all realize that the end of the world is in our own hands.

Adorable Dude Passed Out On Street
Missed Connections in Brooklyn

i was walking home with a friend Wednesday night and came across you passed out on the sidewalk.
not sure what to do, realized you were snoring and decided to not leave you there.
i smacked you until you woke up and we helped you up, put your shirt on and find your glasses.
yes, you were passed out drunk on the sidewalk, shirtless and with an arm cast, but you were adorable regardless.
we kept asking you where you lived so we could escort you home but you kept insisting you were going our way.
c’est la vie.
glad you didn’t get robbed/arrested, good luck with that.
ps i stole your beer, figured you didn’t need it anymore 😉

The Brooklyn missed connections feed has a huge volume of messages and believe it or not, not all of them involve drinking to excess, vomiting, and passing out. It just looks that way sometimes. But, if you’re someone who finds that kind of fun, thrilling, and interesting, it’s certainly where you’d want to be – moving upstate to become a tee-totaling vegan can happen when after you’ve crossed 35 and made it through rehab.
