Bullshit

I'm obsessed with the Craigslist "Missed Connection" section. It's crazy, and I wish I could explain it. In theory, it's a brilliant idea: Post a message for someone you might have seen or ran into but forgot to get a number or make a move. Basically, it's a place for cowards. However, reading most of these posts turns out to be some of the craziest shit I read. It's nice to think that there are people out there who consider themselves such hopeless romantics that they actually believe posting here will work. Foolish, yet oddly comforting. But most of these people are clutching at straws. And a fair amount aer perverts who happened to catch a chick's thong peering out when she was walking out of Trader Joe's.

(It needs to be noted that a fair amount of these postings (for the LA listings, anyway) center around a chain of grocery stores called Trader Joe's. This is because, for reasons unknown and unexplained by even Professor Stephen Hawking himself, there are always hot women at Trader Joe's. Seriously. Anytime of day. Any location. It's amazing. So naturally, in addition to these hot women, you have your basic male nerd shut in, who lives on the computer and can only muster enough energy to peel himself away from pixilated prostitutes (There are ads for hookers on Craigslist, too) to get the much loved, oft-mocked Two Buck Chuck available at their local TJ and take in the eye candy, only to rush back home and post about their "Missed Connection" fifteen minutes later).

But today, I found something stupid. And I had to share. I actually found a chain letter as a post.

Here it is:
