Beautiful Girls at Wegmans; Dilapidated Grill All Yours, JJ's...and Walking Pugs

Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available.

We learned this week while browsing the listings on Craigslist that spring brings out the people full force posting in the "missed connections." Like blooms on the vine, these people are awakened to profess their love on the internet.

You are the most beautiful woman, you work at Wegmans and your name begins with a "C"

There's a guy out there, who says he's 35, and he has sent you a rose (electronically, but uploading it to Craigslist) and wrote a poem to you that starts, "You are the most beautiful woman in the world." He "catches a glimpse of your beauty" on Sunday evenings at Wegmans in Northborough, where you work.

This broken, non-usable grill is yours for free!

You just have to pick it up and it's yours. A tenant at this residence in Marlborough moved and left behind a perfectly bad broken gas grill with a broken cover. The knobs are missing, it is disintegrating, and the previous owners of this baby used it by pouring charcoal into it. You can get this as soon as you want!

You say goal, we say hoop ... let's get rid of it

A person in Hopkinton is giving away a "basketball goal." Upon further inspection, it appears that this goal is a basketball hoop. Perhaps it would get more use if the person were familiar with the game. We wonder if he played basketball "goalie" for his team.

Now hiring

Sushi chefs needed

And Sapporo in Westborough is seeking an experienced sushi chef to join its team. The candidate "must be skilled in all areas of sushi including: filleting fish, nigiri, maki, sashimi & menu creation."

Natick man looks for love in the platonic section

A man from Natick is not only confused about the spelling of a number of words (such as "permanent"), but he's clearly unclear about the definition of the word "platonic." That's where he seeks a "women"–not a "fling," but "one chick." He's Italian, just moved to Natick from NYC and asks that you not respond unless you're looking for a relationship. What's the "worse" that could happen, he asks. Good luck shopping in the platonic department of the store.

He saw you at JJ's

So you were with a guy. That doesn't matter. And it's a long shot, but this guy spotted you at the bar at JJ's in Northborough recently. He saw you around 10 p.m. and you were watching a band member pour shots. You shot him some glances, he says. So what are you going to do about it?

To the redhead with two kids and a pug

He's seen you walking in Shrewsbury on Oak Street a few times. You are always with two kids, and a small black dog. "You are incredibly attractive. I have just seen you a few times, but can't get you out of my mind! I don't know what your situation is, but I would love to talk. Stopping the car to talk would just be weird, at least this way you can get in touch with me if this peaks your interest in any way!"

Gaming artists and developers needed

He repeats, "There is currently no funding to pay you!" But this new gaming company in Marlborough is seeking some visionary artis and developers to join its team. Read all about it.
