Drunks Fuel Lost and Founds

November 3, 2008

Every time there is a good reason to drink ungodly amounts of liquor, the Lost and Found community ad section flourishes like a desert scene after the rain.

While the section will typically host ads galore for lost pets (particularly cats), large quantities of listed lost items are more often in direct correlation to an event such as Halloween.

This weekend preludes the unacknowledged abandonment, or the unanticipated find, of three sets of key, two phones, a camera, a flash drive, a bike, and a coat.

And those are just the tangable items listed.

Likewise, a bloody Palin, Alice in Wonderland, a Gangster Gal, Edward Norton (or at least someone who looked like him), and a delhi guy.

Were there streets covered in the lost moments and belongings that people insist on carrying with them while they impair the Hippocampus?


Misplaced People

Conga player looking for music-mates

Conga player looking for music-mates

One conga player is looking for a few who enjoy jamming out “semi-traditional son, changui, or to whip up a good Cuban Descarga.” Never left his name, his picture should surely conjure up responses.

A self-proclaimed awesome roommate is looking for a place to live, preferably in Old Town. She is a 59-year-old “civil rights activist/poet” needing a place to rent that is handicap accessible, as she recovers from a riding incident. She describes herself as fascinating, humorous, a great cook, and is single “with a friend.”

A “fearless” athletic male is looking for a partner to trade intimate or athletic massages, your choice.

A new-to-the-area couple is looking for friendship with women of color, ages 26-36, who are “gbltq friendly” for friendship that offers meaningful conversations, barbeques, board games, camping or dinner and movies. Their endeavors are strictly asexual.

Also, a pair of experienced role-playing gamers is looking for a group to join. “We’d prefer a fantasy setting but don’t mind sci-fi too much. We’re not interested in Star Trek, Star Wars, or World of Darkness. We’d prefer not to play d20 or GURPS (or any other unnecessarily complicated dice system that detracts from the actual game play), but we’re more interested in the setting and would consider it for the right group.”
