Your family's history may include that legendary 1988 trip
to Rehoboth Beach, but it can't top the epic saga of the
Zwack family, creators of the world's oldest shot: an herbal
liqueur that's survived six generations, two world wars, and
the communist invasion of Hungary, now ready to be served
ice-cold to you.

MissedCorrections
Grading love, harshly
Craigslist is great for just about everything, from finding
apartments, to tracking down last-minute tickets, to
encountering people who want to smell your womanly scent as
you respond to their abuse of your breasts, but, you know,
casually. And also, for getting such romantic entreaties
graded, thanks to MissedCorrections.

MC's the creation of a Philly writer who scans C-list's
Missed Connections, prints out the keepers, and snarkily
uses red ink to correct mistakes in tone, punctuation, and
grammar, but not Grammer, because his errors were pretty
limited to Back To You. Some of the better entries:

Hot redhead girl walking into Wawa (252)
A young man's pining for a lady entering the convenience
store receives a grade of F-, which apparently exists, for
both over- and under -capitalization, and use of the phrase
"I bet you bang like an ape."

our eyes meet in food depot - m4w (austell)
This champ grades out at a C- thanks mainly to rampant
grammatical and punctuation mistakes, but is told to "revise
for a higher grade". Like Kindergarten.

Why not try something new?? - 26 (Germantown)
Another F- for this intrepid soul looking for "sum fun",
who's docked for boldly claiming "MONEY ON HAND. I LOVE
SPENDING", and's ordered to "revise" about every other word
and his "Japanese script tattoo", although there's really
not a ton of dialogue in those Kurosawa movies, so it can't
be that bad.

Proving not all people hellbent on finding love on the 'nets
are complete idiots, MC awards one post an A+, calling it
"amazing" that the entire entry is just a quote from
Tennessee Williams -- the man who developed the offbeat
style favored by Craigslist ads, when he told the world
about a streetcar named Banging Like an Ape, or something
like that.

Most of these are (naturally) out of Philly, so go laugh at
your friends' pathetic submissions/spelling
