Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we can all learn, once again, that Halloween brings out the freaks (or, at least, the freak inside each one of us). From plantation ghosts to sexy Velmas, the costumes take all forms, and everybody’s into it.
But it’s not all Halloween hijinks this week. We’ve also got dogs orchestrating a meetup of their owners at PetSmart, cuties doing homework at the grocery store cafe, and plenty of the usual randy joggers and gym rats that keep the MCs over at Craigslist flowing, week after week.
Special bonus this week: people attempting to connect with door-to-door political canvassers. This one will end very soon, thankfully — which reminds me, go vote today! Do your part to save us all from four years of that smarmy yuppie jerk Glenn Youngkin. Taylor Swift will thank you… and so will I.
Get out the vote, Virginia.
Tuckahoe plantation (Tuckahoe)
You played the ghost yesterday and I can’t shake your specter. Care to meet?
Petsmart Let’s Go (Mechanicsville)
I dont know why your dog wanted to meet me but you sure did have beautiful eyes.
I didn’t know what to say lol. I wish I had not just walked away.
FYI, I say the same thing to get my dogs moving.
I don’t know what I expect from this, but it can’t hurt putting out a little goodness to the universe.
Velma at the golfer bar (Midlothian)
On Friday night so I guess the 29th you were dressed as Velma and I think were trying to tell me something I just don’t remember what… Too much of a good time if you remember me describe what I was wearing and we will go from there.
It’s been years but I miss your fingers on my soles. It was on an embassy suites on broad
You are possibly the most beautiful person I’ve seen in real life . Your friend asked if I was single I am not but I am in an open Relationship but I totally understand if that’s not ok with you I just wanted to thank you for lighting up the room
Sincerely , the white rabbit .
