Disconnected in Brooklyn: Goth Party Barfing Special

November 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments

There’s an odd symmetry between this Missed Connection, which isn’t an MC, per se, and the Manhattan thing, but we found something oddly comical about it that we thought we’d share: the guy who barfed on me at the “goth” party on 10/25 – w4m – 23 i’m still outraged. and i still don’t know […]

We never go into that other borough, but Chief Correspondent E.C.

Disconnected in Brooklyn: It Turns Me On You Nearly Killed Me

November 9th, 2008 · 1 Comment

There is nothing like a good Sunday Brooklyn Missed Connection involving a near death experience because we all know that someone nearly killing you definitely pushes that special button of desire. (We’re also softies for bike-related near-death MC’s.) So, here’s this week’s choice: I almost made you kill me with your bike. – w4m (Clinton […]

Disconnected & Deranged: Manhattan Big Foot Taco Bell Special

October 28th, 2008 · Comments Off on Disconnected & Deranged: Manhattan Big Foot Taco Bell Special

We believe in good dental hygiene as much as anybody, but we have to say that today’s Missed Connection takes love and hygiene to another level. It’s so impressive, in fact, that it cause us to leave Brooklyn for an unheard of venture into…gasp…Manhattan. Check it out: you told me about bigfoot – m4w You […]

Disconnected in Brooklyn: You’re a Public Pisser, but Cute

October 26th, 2008 · Comments Off on Disconnected in Brooklyn: You’re a Public Pisser, but Cute

This week’s Sunday Missed Connection has that perfect combination of attraction and anti-social behavior that we find so compelling. (Also, we can’t resist MC’s that involve pee, poop, farting and/or puking, plus theft.) So, here’s our choice for this week: Apparently you pee in public – w4m – 27 (East Williamsburg) Good, Seed, and Edible […]

September 7th, 2008 · Comments Off on Disconnected in Brooklyn: We Exchanged Fingers

August 27th, 2008 · Comments Off on Disconnected in Brooklyn Special: I Want Your Popcorn

Yes, the Pool Parties are McCarren Pool are but a memory (and about 100,000 Flickr photos), but the final Missed Connection they produced may be the best. It’s so good, we can’t let it sit until the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend when so many people won’t be paying attention: Orville Redenbacher IV at Yo […]

August 10th, 2008 · Comments Off on Disconnected in Brooklyn: I Spilled Coffee on Your Baby
