Apparently all you have to do is mention blogging in public, and the women of A2 will throw themselves at your feet.

I wonder if they’ll be interested in me with my antiquated non-wireless internet, tower and windows 98 operating system. You know you have to have the top of the line stuff to attract those into blogging. Just slap a Type R sticker on your laptop and you should be good to go.
So the “missed connection” right before that one says, “AAIO - you got had, my friend.”
Suggesting that the 734 shirt was a hoax to see if they could get AAiO’d? And that, now they know they can, they’ll be feeding faux missed connections to see how many you’ll pick up?
Jeez, js, don’t you have better things to do with your time?
I saw that, but given the typical coherence of most Craigslist posts, I thought it could have been directed at the original poster as well — as in, you got had by posting this somewhere where you thought it was semi-private and not realizing it would be made fun of on blogs. Anyhow, the Arbor Update MC struck me as possibly fake but “too good to check.” The 734 one didn’t, I guess because it’s not very good parody if a hoax?
Yeah, you know, Sandy, AAiO _has_ seemed awfully desperate for some attention from the ladies recently. Maybe this scam was set up in order to make our fair host seem more desirable? If _some_ women are interested in AAiO’s hairy nostrils, others will be too?
Come now, Murph, I realize that anonymity is what our fair host here desires, but we’ve seen their nostrils and they’re clearly not hairy.
(And the MC was so not me. What the fuck would I do with a blogger?)
(Another aside: AAIO, did you see the Observer short piece on saving the Delhi bridge because it’s a one-lane trestle? It ends with misspelled letters from third-graders that were incited by one of the “activists,” including a note that “you wouldn’t tare [sic] down the Castles [sic] in Europe, so don’t tare [sic] down our bridge!” The state has already given the city money to replace the damn bridge, not repair it. The other AAIO point for the article? The bridge is in such poor shape that you can’t even drive a fully-loaded Volvo SUV over it…)

posted by HNG on June 24th, 2005 at 12:25 pmIs a note about cute bloggers the “missed connection” singularly most likely to be read? They’ve entered the ArborBlog echo chamber…
posted by Murph. on June 24th, 2005 at 12:39 pmDamn, now I’m even more sorry I missed the party. . .
posted by [libcat] on June 24th, 2005 at 1:50 pmOh yeah, sorry…that was me. I’m making a ‘Boys of Arbor Update’ swimsuit calendar.
posted by Annie on June 24th, 2005 at 2:10 pmSo… you like ‘em chubby, hairy and pale, do ya Annie? (Although that Murph, he’s dreamy…)
posted by js on June 24th, 2005 at 4:13 pmI try as hard as possible to NOT talk about blogging, personally… must’ve been Steichmann they were looking at.

posted by ann arbor is overrated on June 24th, 2005 at 4:30 pmWell, I sent the Leopolds’ poster a bite. Only way to find out.
posted by Murph on June 24th, 2005 at 4:36 pmThis sounds suspiciously like something you male bloggers have been dreaming up. What next, women will fall for your hairy nostrils?

Gotcha! this craiglist posting was another fake, just yanking yer’ chain.
posted by Craig on June 25th, 2005 at 9:13 pmJeez. Either Missed Connections is completely filled with blogger-baiting, or else everybody in Ann Arbor is totally planning-crazed.
(of course, this one _has_ to be a hoax, because, as we all know, nobody is in Liberty Plaza, ever…)
posted by Murph on June 25th, 2005 at 10:25 pmThe Delhi bridge is in Scio Township, and the city has nothing to do with it. It’s the county road commission which got the replacement money.
posted by Larry Kestenbaum on June 26th, 2005 at 9:46 amOh yeah, sorry. That one was me too. I always carry around a copy of Feast of Love in the hopes of seducing a grad student or two.
Seriously though, “The Men of Arbor Update” swimwear photoshoot? Think about it…

Yeah, think about paying us *not* to publish one.
