MISSED CONNECTIONS RUN-OFF: Christmas edition

If you've never seen Glengarry Glen Ross, this column conceit is probably pretty confusing. That's cool! We'll wait here for you to go watch it. At the very least, go watch this part. OK, we're all on the same page now? Great! Every week we choose four Philly-area Missed Connections postings for the Run-Off, and you vote in the comments for who should get the C̶a̶d̶i̶l̶l̶a̶c̶ ̶E̶l̶d̶o̶r̶a̶d̶o̶  date with their Missed Connection. Second place gets a set of steak knives. Third place is you're fired. Fourth place is you're fired. (Disclaimer: This is for entertainment purposes only. Philadelphia City Paper has no power to make dates happen or fire anybody. We also do not have any steak knives.)

This week: THE BELATED CHRISTMAS EDITION.

CONTESTANT ONE

Running of The Santas - m4w - (Electric Factory)

You were different from the rest...you had a Santa Hat on. You had a beer. I was drunk. In fact, I think everyone was.

CONTESTANT TWO

John (Byberry Hospital)

I met you last week outside of the hospital. You told me a lot of stuff. Not all of it made sense, but it didn't matter to me. You're very special in your own way. I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. Maybe you can see me one day when you get out.

Hint: You told me Santa would probably put a bunch of rocks in your stocking for all the bad things you've done this year. I said you should try kicking them. I also gave you a candy cane, but you said they won't let you have sharp things like that in there.

My name is Myrtle Anne btw...

CONTESTANT THREE

Blonde in Blue dress at Christmas mass... - m4w - 34 (Doylestown)

You were about 6'2, wearing a blue skin tight dress that highlighted your AMAZING body. I was sitting a few rows behind you and couldn't take my eyes off of you. You are drop dead gorgeous, have an amazing smile and perfect body. I didn't see a ring so maybe you aren't attached?
