Great.
Forbes Magazine says via BizJournals.com:
St. Louis has been ranked the 10th-most miserable city in the nation by Forbes magazine.
The “Forbes Misery Measure” looks at the 150 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S., or those areas with a population of at least 378,000. The list was based on nine factors: commute times, corruption, pro sports teams, Superfund sites, taxes (both income and sales), unemployment, violent crime and weather.

Sometime we talk about St. Louis, other times we talk about our actual namesake: Kitties!
We had the opportunity to head out across the bridge and to Lake St. Louis to this year’s Polar Bear Plunge. It was far more packed with people than we thought, so we just had to snap off a few pictures:
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)?

Welcome to St. Louis, the nation’s 16th fittest state, as according to “Men’s Fitness” magazine. I just read the article announcing this list and yes, I was proud that my city was listed in the top 25. But you know what my knee jerk reaction was? “Really? That doesn’t seem right!” I mean, come on. We’re the city that gave the world Budweiser… and John Goodman. 
Our city newscasters count Jeff Bernthal and Rich Gould among their number. Aren’t we supposed to be corn-fed, happy and… FAT? 
I guess not. I used to walk around Saint Louis, comforted in the fact that I blended in with the apple-cheeked, pillowy Midwestern citizenry. But no longer. I guess it’s time to hit the gym. Damn you all.
The fun never stops over at the St. Louis corner of everyone’s favorite hooker directory, Craigslist. We start off the week with two interesting Missed Connections. The common thread? Fellas demonstrating some interesting techniques with the ladies…
Mekong, 3am, I pushed you off the booth – m4w (Mekong)
I just wanted to say “that I am so sorry”. I didnt mean to push you off the booth last night. I felt like such an ass. I totally deserved it when you punched me in the face. Once again. Sorry. [Source]

As found on stlouis.Craiglist.org [ Direct Link ]:
What’s the worst thing ever? A FAT FEMALE BOSS
These bitches see a hot young girl like myself walk into their office and suddenly they can’t remember how to conduct a civil interview.
The first fat bitch comes in with a food stain on her shirt. Totally unprofessional. She didn’t give a shit about the interview so I didnt either. The next one (her boss) also old, fat and nasty – i might as well have walked out of the room before the thing even started. I hope you big, fat, cowardly wastes of space on this earth get diabetes from your heaviness and cancer from your cigarettes. you both reaked of them!!

ByronCrawford.com has a new post up with a photo walk through the Adult Entertainment Expo (or “AEE” to you pervs that know the names of porn directors and stuff).
…but first, a tip for you young, just starting out-type bloggers from Byron:
I’ve noticed for a while now that the websites of alt weekly newspapers – like the Village Voice, and the Riverfront Times here in St. Louis – will run these photo galleries where they send someone out to the club with a camera to get pictures of broads with their cans hanging out of their shirts, and I’ve heard that these are often the most popular features on those sites. If I can remember (and I wouldn’t count on it), I might have to start posting them here on a regular basis.

An actual St. Louis Craigslist “Missed Connection” [link]:
You were giving a BJ at Rockwood Reservations – m4w (Eureka MO)
I pulled up beside you at Rockwoods Reservation and you were giving another gentleman a BJ in the car. I did not see you at first, but I guess when you were finished you popped your head up gave him a kiss goodbye and then got into your own car. You looked over at me with a blushed face and smiled and drove away. If you remember what color my car was email me.
