One of my most beloved time-consuming-useless-entertainment on the internet is the "missed connections" feature on craigslist. Do people earnestly use this to hook up, or is it merely for the amusement of those who like to laugh of the patheticness of desperate people's last straw in the whirlpool of dating? My favorites are the supermarket glances, such as "I saw you by the meat shelf, you were holding a 2 pound pack of ground pork", or the parking lot/red light spottings, like "you were leaving the Burger King parking lot, I was sitting inside with my family, our eyes met as I was stuffing my face with french fries". Recently I've been venturing outside of my residential state, namely down south where one can find the greatest pearls of the white trash poetry "missed connections" is. My all time favorite goes like this:

"LOOKING FOR MICHAEL LYNN McCURDY,HAS 2 SISTERS BETTY AND SUSIE IN DOTHAN.HE MARRIED A GIRL NAMED DEBBIE.HIS SON WANTS TO MEET HIM."

I rest my case.
