PunchingKitty is scanning Craigslist again and here’s what we found!

My Illinois lover – w4m – 40 (your bed)

I had a great time with you, and hope that this is more than a physical relationship . . . because I want it all, and I want it with you. I can’t wait to be in your arms again, waking up next to you was wonderful.

Location: “Your Bed”  Damn baby.  Anyway, if this dude does actually find this (he won’t) do you really think that this “lets come on really strong and mention ‘wanting it all’ and talk of spooning’ plan is going to work (it won’t)?

Kevin – w4m (Downtown)

I’ve posted before. Still looking for Kevin. Black guy, tall, dark, handsome. Drives a red pick up.

Um, on yeah.  I know the guy.  He wears those shirts and has ears?  Also, pining away for “talk, (actually) dark and handsome” just made you a cliche…a desperate, sad cliche.

The last two are related!  Fun!

Mike – w4m – 35 (st louis)

I just wanted to tell you our secret trip this weekend was fantastic. Looking forward to our next one. Im hoping you’ll make my fantasy come true. Next time I won’t let you leave I know you wont read this but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LETS GET MARRIED

First off: “Yikes”  Run Mike run.  But what’s that?  …a reply!

re Mike – w4m – 34 (Loserville)

If this is the Mike from South St.Louis with 2 daughters he’s nothing but a loser. He gets you to buy him dinner and different stuff. He saids he’s always working when he is with someone else when he is supposed to be devoted to you. Women beware of his childish games. He will do anything to get his way. He doesn’t care if he hurts you in the process. He’s nothing but trouble. I suggest to you to not even waste your time. He’s definitely no good.

So this crazy-ass just goes around Craigslist and when someone mention’s the extremely common name of “Mike” she springs into action?  Lets say we get as specific as dudes named Mike that live in South City and have two daughters, there still has to at least be 20 of them!

Will one of you non-crazy broads have a talk with these girls?  They are setting you guys crazy far back!

Two things are clear from that graphic above: 1. My photoshop skills are l33t.  2. St. Louis’ collective love for Kurt Warner hasn’t been this high since…well since he took our football team to the Super Bowl.

But why do we collectively love this guy so much?  If you have been around St. Louis for a while now you are saying “What?!   Kurt Warner is like if Jesus knew karate!  He’s just too amazing to understand!”  Well, what if you are new to St. Louis, or you are a google searching putting up his feet on our little cyber dive-bar here for a quick drink in the desert that is the internet?  Kurt left town 7 or 8 years ago people!  Everyone could use a refresher course!  So let PunchingKitty.com count the reasons…

Why St. Louis Loves Kurt Warner

1. He’s a good football player.

2. He poops vitamins that he gives to under-nourished youth.

3. His mere existence gives Kevin Slaten something to talk about.

4. He transmits his thoughts to my dreams and tells me to kill people and light fires.

5. He might be the second coming of Jesus.  Of course, if he is, he’s holding off the last judgement until after the Pro Bowl.  You have 2 weeks sinners!

6. One time when he was with the Giants he was on the other team’s 23 yard line with 8 to go on the third down, and he fired a pass up the middle but it was too high and the receiver couldn’t get to it.  It would appear that Kurt failed, but really there was a snake about to bite a small child in the first row behind the end zone and Kurt hit the snake on the head with his pass saving the kid.  The snake was stunned but unharmed and returned to the wilderness after the game.

7. Kurt’s hugs cure the common cold.   Though apparently not down syndrome.

8. He reads all your crazy Letters to the Editor about him you send to the Post Dispatch.

9. He has a good Christian hair cut.

10. When he touches me, its never a bad touch.

First chess, now this.

From OzarkFirst.com:

The Gateway City is the most challenging place to live with asthma in the United States.

That’s according to a study by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, which ranks St. Louis as the number one asthma capital.

This unfavorable ranking is being blamed on the lack of public smoke-free laws, the higher than average pollen counts over the the previous year, and an increase in asthma deaths.

Actually, this makes sense I guess.  If you had asthma it would be kind of a bitch to live here.  You can’t go to a bar in town without a burly gentleman standing next to you smoking like a chimney, and the pollen totally sucks.  

I feel bad for you asthmatic people in the summer, with the smoke and pollen, coughing your ass off at the bar while I’m in the corner with a couple of fine bitches eating chicken wings by the bucket and doing body shots of blue cheese and tequila off the ladies while a team of well-trained midgets give me back rubs.

I’m ready for summer.

Oh thats right ladies!  St. Louis might not have Fleet Week, but this year we have The 2009 U.S. Chess Championship!

Two dozen of the nation’s best chess players will be invited to participate in the 2009 U.S. Chess Championship, which will be held at the new Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. The tournament, which dates back to 1845, will take place from May 7 through 17, 2009 and will offer a purse of more than $130,000 in prize money.

If you’re not sure where to find the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, its the building with the crazy long line of fine ass pussy rolling out of  it 24/7!  

The 24 invited players will include: 
the top 12 American players by rating, using the April rating supplement; 
the top two female players by rating, using the April rating supplement; 
the 2008 U.S. Junior Closed Champion; 
the 2008 U.S. Open Champion; 
the 2009 U.S. State Champion of Champions; 
a total of seven wild card spots, to be determined later. 

I’m sure this is unrelated, but I wanted to mention that this year’s U.S. Atomic Wedgie Giving Championship is taking place right down the street at about the same time.  I’m sure it will be fine.  If you’ve spent this much time playing chess, like those 24 players,  you must have learned to cut your underwear elastic to lessen the blow right?

Its snowing, its cold and whether or not you have gas or electric heat we are all using lots of energy these days so AmerenUE says “Yup, time to get the rate hike approved!” and it was all tied up and then that last Missouri regulator said “Um yeah sure…we aren’t going to come in today it’s snowy!  Approved!”

The average AmerenUE residential customer will pay about $5.88 more a month for electricity, under a rate increase Missouri regulators approved Tuesday.

The commission voted 3-2 to allow AmerenUE, the Missouri utility operations of Ameren Corp., to increase its electric rates by 8 percent in order to raise $162.6 million in additional revenue, nearly $89 million less than what the utility had originally requested.

The good news? Once they stick it to us, they won’t be able to do it again for a while right?  

Regulators also approved a clause that will allow Ameren to raise rates when its fuel costs rise. The clause grants a 95 percent pass through of fuel expenses, the commission said.

Son of a…

You think the guys that run AmerenUE, Laclede and Charter sit around in baby pools of $20′s and do blow off albino hooker’s asses on the weekend after taking a bunch of melatonin and eating a whole fucking bucket of chicken?

Yeah, me too.

“Civic Leader” Jim Cloar of the Downtown St. Louis Partnership says that about 600 new people moved to downtown St. Louis over the last year.

Hmm, ok.  So it seems like thats an easy statement to just throw out there especially when you clearly have a vested interest in downtown sucking less.  I mean maybe its true…but its hard to believe a guy coming from his place.  Well look, maybe he just said it quietly to a reporter or something…it wasn’t making a big deal out of it.  That would really be odd if the guy was basically bragging…I mean how could you believe that?

Cloar made the remarks last week at the opening of Lindenwood University’s satellite campus downtown.

Oh.  Uh…ok.  Hmm.
