Missed Connections

I always look forward to the third day of each month, because I know it’s time to scour Craigslist and find some gems for you, our readers. Craigslist is a centralized network of online community classifieds, job postings, personals and more started by a guy named Craig (on the right). Evansville has had its own Craigslist site for a few years now and one of it’s most useful features is missed connections.

Sometimes you are out at a local bar or restaurant, and catch the eye of something across the room. You might even pick up a conversation with the person and hit it off. Unfortunately, the night ends without you getting contact information: sometimes not even a name. That’s where craigslist comes in and It’s Evansville come in. To help you out, we’re going to periodically spot some of the missed connections that are posted locally, and hopefully help some poor guy or gal out in their attempts to find true love.

Sam’s Club Connection

If you are the hot hunk of beef that was checking out today (4/12) around 5 or 5:30 pm in the next to the last checkout lane, then I was the guy you kept turning around to check me out (at the same time that I was turning around to check you out) as I walked across the store. I was wearing jeans and the black chef’s coat and had a buzz haircut. I would very much like to meet you, as it was obvious that there was a definite sense of attraction. I am so kicking my self that I didn’t turn around and follow you out, but I was on somewhat of a tight schedule and had to get back to work. However, I did make a quick sweep of the parking lot and even went back in hoping that you came back in to find me. I am so sorry that I missed you…..please respond if you happen to read this.

Is it wrong that I’m trying to run through all the local restaurants to figure out what place puts their chefs in a black coat? I never knew such things went on at Sam’s Club. Usually when I’m in there it’s to pick up up beef…oh wait.

Did you wink at me in Batteries Plus?

I walked in to buy some “AAAA” Batteries last week, and as soon as I saw your gorgeous face you winked at me. Or so I thought. I’m bad about picking up on these things. Send me a message telling me what you were doing when I walked in so I know it’s really you.

They were probably winking because they know that only adult toys take AAAA batteries.

Boonville Walmart

We talked for just a few minutes the day the Garth Brooks box set came out. You came back in to talk to me, you will probably never know how much that meant. Thanks for that! Contact me if you remember that day, and if you would like to meet.

Nothing says love like Garth Brooks and Wal Mart.
