It's chillier in hell tonight or, Sultry Sultans of the Middle West
So, I just saw this posting on the missed connections on craigslist. As most of you know, I'm horribly addicted to them and the terrible lines between hope, hopelessness, love and bathos they navegate. I usually don't advocate straight out mocking them, but there's something so ridiculous about this one that reinforces my firmest beliefs about the universe.
Amish Guy at Union/Amtrack Station Saturday 8/18 - m4m - 41
You were there with your five cohorts in the men's room when I walked in at 10:40 am. You were good looking in your tight blue breeches with suspenders. I'm the lean, clean-shaven guy you glanced at who had on black pants and a black jacket. I'm a clean-cut, straightlaced guy--and speak fluent Hochdeutsch, too! And my grandfather was Brethren from Pennsylvania. Is that good enough? Would be thrilled if you responded!
There are too many wonderful, backwards things about that post, and I feel justified in existing.
Yours absently,
