Most missed connections in D.C. happen on Metro, while in Virginia they take place at the gym and in Maryland at the park.

When it comes to finding free humor on the internet, the Craigslist missed connections board has always been a trove of comedic gems (OK, I’ll admit to perusing the MC listings in a non-humorous, semi-lovelorn mindset). For those of you too lazy to read through the dozens — nay hundreds –missed connections, SocialStudiesDC, the beta city-blog under the coupon giant LivingSocial, has done some of the work and reading for you. The blog picked out a few gems and had actors from the Washington Improv Theater conduct dramatic readings of them, background music and all. Hope these uplift an already near perfect Saturday, unless if you you’re the target of these MC’s, then we hope these help.

Here’s an ad from Craigslist’s missed connections section that seems totally appropriate, considering that the gentleman in question is only in town for a few days. Who says robots don’t need to get it on?

Here’s a bit of entertainment to get you through the gloomy afternoon — a tipster draws our attention to this Craigslist missed connection, which I think we can all relate to, yes? For those of you with less than perfect vision, it reads: Dear personal space: I used to have you, sometimes, on the Metro. Now you are a missed connection. You exist in a realm which extends (if I’m lucky) about 3-4 inches from…

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark “Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid.” Is that a promise?
