Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we all have our guilty pleasures. For some of us, it's all those "Karen freakout" compilations on YouTube; for others, it's running a post through a thesaurus before hitting submit, or quoting David Lee Roth lyrics....

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we're all weird and everyone's just doing their best. Not only do we have a pandemic going on, everyone's going broke, it's too goddamn cold, and now we've got snow and ice? I thought things were going to get better...

Here we are for another week of Missed Connections, where the pickings get steadily slimmer as the sadly-departed cesspool that was the Casual Encounters page on Craigslist continues its gradual takeover of what we once knew as one of the most fun internet pages to...

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we are simultaneously concerned and cautiously optimistic. Will tomorrow's inauguration bring a new dawn for the world? If so, it might lift the spirits of the many lovelorn folks we find speaking from the pages of...

Back for another week of Missed Connections, and in a week where our country seemed like it was about to go under at any moment, things on Craigslist were just as crazy. From spot-on parodies of the QAnon hipster garbage who made up half the crowd at the Capitol...

It's 2021, and wading through spam has become the full-time job of the Missed Connections trawler. I wouldn't blame any of you if you're not even going to that page on Craigslist anymore, just waiting for me to do it so you don't have to click through a million of...

Best of VA Missed Connections December 23 – December 29

Welcome to Missed Connections in Richmond, Virginia, where the once-fertile fields of Craigslist are drying up to the point that we are now harvesting choice morsels from neighboring DC. OK yes, this is the kind of thing I once said I'd never do, but when people are...

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where quarantine seems to be eroding some people's grasp on reality. I mean, I know witches are real, both of the Wiccan and pagan varieties. But if you're looking to change your age and/or gender, that's not really how witchcraft works here in the real world. Gender transitions are real and possible...

It's time for another installment of Missed Connections, where this week makes clearer than ever that everyone is kinda getting tired of being so bummed about coronavirus all the time. Sure, we're all still on quarantine, and nobody wants to get the COVID… but if we're all stuck sitting on the couch in front of the TV anyway, can't we at least...

It's a month into the quarantine and we're all getting a little messy -- what better place to air that kind of thing out than Missed Connections? From speculation about side chicks to sadness over the death of John Prine, this week's has a bit of a different feel than usual -- probably because people are mostly not having the chance to miss any...

It's another week of quarantine here in the Missed Connections, and we're missing just about everything at this point -- some of this week's posters are even missing those cheesy bikini car wash events that random cheerleading groups throw to raise funds for prom or whatever. I always thought they were a little degrading, myself, but hey,...

A plague is loose on the land, and any Missed Connections out there right now are just gonna have to stay missed for a while. But hey, we can still read about them, right? In this trying time, let's get the little bits of joy where we can. Like, for example, the guy who still fantasizes about his unrequited high school sweetheart kicking him in...

It's surprising to see just how strongly the Missed Connections roll on regardless of the fact that we're all quarantined in our homes. Personally, I've only been around other people once in the past week -- I was at the grocery store, frantically trying to grab some toilet paper. How is it still out of stock everywhere? Do some of you have...

It's an interesting week in the world of Missed Connections, because right now, all any of us can think about is how much we want to miss a connection with COVID-19. That's a thought some Missed Connections posters had this week, but as others prove, we can't all sit alone in our houses forever without longing for companionship. And that's an...

This week's Missed Connections asks a burning question -- do you like to shave? Not yourself, but… other people? If so, there's someone out there looking for you. Don't worry, you're not gonna get paid, so it'll have to be for the love. And you better bring your own clippers. Sounds great, right? That's not all we've got for ya this week, though...
