I found Timmy Danger lounging casually beside a fire pit, drinking a dark beer. It was a Friday afternoon in the dying days of summer, and the man whose last name is "Danger" was looking decidedly docile. He greeted me with a warm smile and a firm handshake wearing...
Birds. These guano bombers destroy everything, from our car windows and side mirrors to ill-fated fishing towns outside San Francisco. One day they’ll destroy the world. But for now, they’re here for our opium. Opium-addicted parrots are causing havoc on poppy cultivation throughout the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and Neemuch. According to...
Farting in Walmart may not be the best look, but ratting someone out in the Missed Connections might just be the worst one. Can you imagine the arrogance it takes to attempt to spin that into a meet-cute? Well, if you read this week's missed connections, you won't have to. You will get some entertaining reads, though, and not just the one where...
Winter is taking its sweet time about drawing to a close, and from the look of this week's Missed Connections, the times are hard out there. We all know about people who come to this section looking for companionship, but when you have to hit Craigslist just to ask for somewhere to take a shower, well... things are getting pretty desperate....
If you're seeking wisdom this week, you might want to check out the Missed Connections, where we've learned that people don't change -- they just keep on using an anonymous internet service to tell the world about their crushes on customer service employees. For example, this week we've got employees from libraries and office parks, a change from...
Another Valentine's Day has come and gone, but judging by this week's jam-packed Missed Connections, a lot of people out there are still looking for love in all the wrong places. It's been a tough February for some of us too -- especially Tommie the pit bull, whose tragic story touched us all. Others have wrecked cars to deal with, and that's...
It's rainy and gross out this week, so I suppose it's no surprise that methods of transportation are big in this week's Missed Connections. Whether you're stopping on Afton Mountain, waiting in the drive-thru line at KFC, or chatting about custom bikes at the DMV, cars seem to be a great way to get people's attention. Do you own a motor vehicle?...
Our schizophrenic winter weather is striking once again, folks, but if you need someone to share your blanket, or to invite out to a picnic, the Missed Connections is probably the place for you. Especially if the divorce is final and you're on Tinder ready to mingle! Some of you are clearly not above making passes at married people, though, and...
Are food and infatuation intrinsically connected? If you read the Missed Connections week after week, it sure starts to seem that way. So it's no surprise that this week brings us a very cuisine-oriented edition of our weekly trawl through Craigslist. There are certainly more reliable ways of meeting men than dropping cucumbers in the grocery...
If you need meat, you go to the market (shout out to Ray Manzarek). And maybe you go to the Missed Connections, to catch the attention of that cutie you ran into by the steaks. But if meat isn't what you're shopping for, that's OK -- we've got interactions of all types in the MC's this week. If you love cars, you're in luck this week -- whether...
