I used to check missed connections fanatically in the hope that I'd read "You were a drunken, pimply rail of a man babbling about obscure music while sloppily eating an Italian Combo sub. Let's run away together."
I will forever be checking the help wanted section for serious listings such as:
While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to stand; walk; use hands to finger, handle, or feel objects, tools, or controls; reach with hands and arms; climb or balance; and talk or hear. The employee frequently is required to stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl and taste or smell.
Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, and the ability to adjust focus.
and:
* The ability to discuss dildos, butt-plugs, vibrators, sex lube, the sex scenes in videos, and a wide variety of other sexually-related topics coolly and professionally.
* A near-fetish level of obsession with organization.
not to mention:
Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
the sun is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
working in a restaurant wonderland
Gone away is the old job
here to stay is a fab job
I sing a new song
as I move along
working in a restaurant wonderland
In a new job we can be so happy
We can have a quality of life
You'll say: Are you happy?
I'll say: yes man
And you will want my job
when you're around
Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
working in a restaurant wonderland
In the restaurant we can build a new life
Have 2 days off with great benefits
We'll have lots of fun with our new career
I'm glad I got a new job in town
When I'm hired
ain't it thrilling
Though your old boss gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
In a hospitable way
working in a restaurant wonderland
working in a restaurant wonderland
working in a restaurant wonderland
jonmc-I actually once got mentioned in that section of the DC Citypaper and I was so excited that it almost broke up the relationship I was in. I mean, I almost broke up in order to pursue the missed connection. I played it safe, though, and then my girlfriend, she slept with my bestfriend, and, well, you've heard that song before.
You know, the people I know who go to the dollar store and post to Craigslist aren't proles--they're college kids. Is it okay to make fun of college kids, sir? Maybe you should give us the list so we don't screw up anymore.
You were in the pool at Athens, way out ahead in the 400m medley. I was at home sighing. Please email soon, and we will swim off into the sun.
