So, the ‘Missed Connections’ section of Oklahoma City Craigslist (arguably the saddest, most desperate corner of the intarwebz) has been on a roll lately. Such entertainment should not be kept secret.

Also, I decided to commemorate each post as though it was a very specific holiday that allowed such unusual behavior–for that one special day–to be regarded as normal or at least expected. Plus, people are more likely to read stuff with pictures.

[spelling and punctuation is as original posts. bold (and holiday-ized pictures) added for emphasis]

No-left-arm lovely – m4w

You were sitting on a bus bench waiting for the bus. I was driving swiftly by in a blue convertible. You were wearing a short sleeve shirt, jeans, and a prosthetic left arm. Granted we only saw each other for a split second, but in that second I felt a connection. I hope you did too. If so, I can give you a ride next time. Take THAT any way you please

Golden Corral off MacArthur – 48

You were sitting at the table across from me. We kept eyeing each other and smiling. You had the “I am the party” tshirt and I had a white baseball cap on…maybe we can chat

Home Depot Employee Green Hair… – m4w

Long shot…but here it goes. You work at Home Depot in MWC and have green hair. We talked about your Starbucks coffee and Kool menthol addiction. You recently got your braces taken off. I think you are just completely georgous! WOW…lets talk.

Northchurch Sun 1/27 11am service – m4w

You are so beautiful, but you appear to be angry with the world.

You were wearing a red sweater, black pants, and black boots. Gorgeous long dark hair. You appear to be a single mom. You bring your adorable little girl to service with you. I have looked for an opportunity to talk to you a couple of times, but it looks like you might rip my head off. I am hoping someone knows you and can help me get in touch with you. I would love to be your friend.

Email me if you want to get coffee sometime and talk.

Extrem Moto-X saturday – m4w – 50

Hi we were sitting next to each other at the Lazy E arena Saturday night. You had your son with you and kept getting up to go places. You were wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. Would love to meet you.

Short w/ Red Hair – m4w

You run really fast. I saw you looking for your family in the debris. You gave up and cried. I know it’s not as good as having a son, but how about coffee sometime?
