gotta love missed connections....

The thing that people don't get with these ads is that if you're not man enough to say hello to someone face to face (and I think most of them are posted by men) then you shouldn't be out in the world at all.

I know right? Cowboy up and twitter them like a heroic actor.
These people, they don't get it. They don't get me.

I think you should dig for all of the 9:30 Club missed connections and post them here so we can warn everyone of their potential soulmates/stalkers ;)

I've always thought it would be funny to write a really generic one, so that anyone could see themselves in it, and see what kinda replies you got:
"You at the Black Cat. Dressed in black, wearing a knitted cap. I was the good-looking stranger glancing your way. Coffee?"

you know people here used to call me racist, but to say that because they are were accidently called "colored" tvs is not only unfunny, it is very racist. but i guess since you've been here longer than i, it is fine.
-
get over yourself. I believe that this person making the listing was either a) not really racist, just stupid or b) perhaps racist and stupid.
it should be plain to see that the post is only making fun of someone who clearly used poor English.

so i guess if someone placed an ad for selling 'jewish oven cooked chicken,' charlie would be allowed to say "did that recipe come from a concentration camp?" because i need to get over myself?
-
Which definition of "racism" am I guilty of?
rac⋅ism /ˈreɪsɪzəm/
?noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
-
by making the joke you are fostering the idea that the idea of harboring "humour" toward one race justifies your own race being superior in the fact of making it, thereby proclaiming the fact that nobody else here makes a qualm about it, because it is a simple "joke" and so needing to attack anyone who questions the fact. or maybe i am wrong. would not be the first time.
-
Again, I have a hard time following your logic, forgive me for I am not a genius. I think you are overanalyzing, with questionable results.
My thought would be that you would need to lighten up. The joke was not demeaning or hateful to any race. It was simply a play on the double meaning of a word, one of the meanings (antiquated now, but still arguably not demeaning, much like "Negro") which used to be a word to describe a dark skinned person.
Or, to put it more concisely...what Num said.
I've regrettably said racist things in my life, perhaps even on this board (and that doesn't neccessarily make me a bad or hateful person, just a flawed person). But that wasn't one of them.
-
i love this place. i was just being a jerk. just bored at work today and needed to get a good rise out myself. thanks for playing with me. you may get me in a headlock now! ;)
i don't think you are racist. but the joke still was not funny. sorry. and sorry to num for reeling you in.

Is Robert Ford a racist?
Bill would require paid Confederate holiday in SC
By JIM DAVENPORT ? 1 day ago
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) ? A black state senator is pushing a bill that would require South Carolina cities and counties to give their workers a paid day off for Confederate Memorial Day or lose millions in state funds.
Democratic Sen. Robert Ford's bill won initial approval from a Senate subcommittee Tuesday. It would force county and municipal governments to follow the schedule of holidays used by the state, which gives workers 12 paid days off, including May 10 to honor Confederate war dead. Mississippi and Alabama also recognize Confederate Memorial Day.
Years ago, Ford said, he pushed a bill to make both that day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day paid holidays. He considered it an effort to help people understand the history of both the civil rights movement and the Confederacy in a state where the Orders of Secession are engraved in marble in the Statehouse lobby, portraits of Confederate generals look down on legislators in their chambers and the Confederate flag flies outside.
"Every municipality and every citizen of South Carolina, should be, well, forced to respect these two days and learn what they can about those two particular parts of our history," Ford said Tuesday.
In a state steeped in a segregationist past, "there's no love in this state between black and white basically," he said. That's not apparent at the Statehouse, where black and white legislators get along, "but if you go out there in real South Carolina, it's hatred and I think we can bring our people together."
Lonnie Randolph, president of the state conference of NAACP branches, objected to that reasoning.
"Here Senator Ford is talking about the importance of race relations by forcing recognition of people who did everything they could to destroy another race ? particularly those that look like I do," Randolph said. "You can't make dishonor honorable. It's impossible."
Ron Dorgay, a Sons of Confederate Veterans member from Elgin, said race relations have moved far from hatred but he hopes Ford's bill brings more understanding of the state's past.
"Even in school systems, they don't teach the correct history," Dorgay said.
Local governments, meanwhile, are seeing green, not race, when it comes to adding holidays to their calendars.
Large and small counties would put up more cash to cover holidays they don't now recognize, largely for law enforcement and emergency worker overtime, municipal and county association lobbyists said.
Only 10 of the state's 46 counties recognize Confederate Memorial Day and only 27 observe the more benign Presidents' Day.
Greenville County, one of the state's wealthiest and most populous counties, doesn't offer the Confederate holiday. The Judiciary Committee said the county would spend $156,900 to add each holiday to its calendar. Much smaller Laurens County would spend $37,080.
Ford dismissed the costs.
"The good outweighs any kind of rationale you can come up with," he said before the subcommittee sent the bill forward to the full Senate Judiciary Committee for debate, which won't happen until at least next week.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, supports the bill ? and holding back chunks of the more than $300 million the state sends local governments each year.
Counties and cities "should be respectful of that as political subdivisions of the state," said McConnell, a Civil War re-enactor who runs a Charleston Confederate wares gallery and on Tuesday fretted how new junk metal collection legislation might affect his cannon. "If they don't want to be a subdivision of the state, then don't take the money."

no. robert ford is someone who wants to be known for something by getting their name in the news. paying off people never changes the core of their beliefs.

Have Amazon.com's shipping charges gone way up?

Well that depends...they don't charge you anything it's all person to person. It just depends on what you're selling and how much someone wants it.

on first blush this just seems mildly dumb, but upon further reflection this might be the stupidest thing you've ever posted on here (high bar, i know)

and that might be the most blatant attack on me just to attack me if i have ever seen one. i sell on ebay. i've never sold on craigslist. maybe i would like to sell on craigslist. if you sell on ebay, you may have noticed that buyers are not what they use to be with steady, decent, high bids and money shelled out for stuff. even extra tickets to shows that i sell now and again. i have always felt that buyers on ebay have reverted it to some sort of yard sale (as in, "will you take a quarter for that?" and the such. it just seems that i don't make as much $$ there as i used to . . . and was curious if craigslist sees a high profit for selling. dumb? stupid?
so i'm not sure what your reflection showed you in the mirror, but i felt my question was a sensible one to ask, whether at a high bar or at one with mini stools for midgets.

I buy and sell many items on Craigslist and ebay. Ebay, I have found to be much easier dealing with people, its more of a contract. Although Craigslist doesnt usually involve shipping, it also doesnt involve a contract. So when i post something for sale on CL, i get 30 emails saying "is this still available" (sometimes even 20 minutes after i post it) then when i reply "yes" and tell them my area and time of availability, they never respond. Or sometimes they do and say they are coming and never show up or when they get there, they try to haggle the price or decide they dont want it.
In fact, recently we got a new dining room set and i tried to sell our old one online, the guy came to buy it, then when he got there, made a sob story about how the table was too small (the dimensions were in the ad!) and his all of his kids couldnt fit around it. I sold him just the chairs for $100 (instead of the set for $200) cause i felt bad for the dude. 3 weeks later, my chairs are around another dining room table on CL for $600!!!!
anyway, I prefer ebay cause it somewhat eliminates people sheer stupidity, ignorance and flat out inconsideration for other peoples time and money.

ebay is an auction.
craigslist is a classified ad.
each method of selling has its plusses and minuses, but it's impossible to make broad-brush conclusions that one or the other will "net more money for the seller"
was that compassionate?

Some of that is funny, but there are a few glaring flaws which categorize this guy as a douche himself, particularly:
1) the reference to "George Town Bars"
4) the dismissal of all of U Street as "where emo kids hang out" (that's only the Velvet for certain shows)
2) The fact that he points out more than once that he has famous friends in Nashville (I thought this was a joke but I think he's serious)
3) the categorization of Dave Matthews Band as "good music"
-
Oh i wouldn't argue for a nano-second against the guy being a total douche....but his monologue certainly had it's moments. That much is true.
Funny guy.
Bad douchey music taste.
