MX “Here’s looking at you” LOLs
// JRad // June 5th, 2011 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
If you live in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne and work in the city, chances are you’ve read an MX newspaper at some stage. The section “here’s looking at you” is essentially where readers can SMS in a quick comment to/about someone they saw (usually at the train station) and would like to ask out.
Before I re-discovered the joys of reading books, I’d always read an MX on the way home from work and enjoyed the “here’s looking at you” comments. Some are so lame, I had to tear them out and reproduce them in this post.
Here are some of the more amusing comments:
- To the sweet Indian guy with the turban rapping to NWA and eating oats at Panania at midnight on Saturday, you’re hot. Tea? – Stone hurler
- To the girl who was too shy to ask my number, your mate got my number from Central. Wanna make eye contact? – Purple shirt guy
- To the boy at Central who catches the train to Cronulla at 4.20pm, with sandy blond hair and the Sexpo bag, I’ve got my eye on you. – Justice fan
- To the Asian guy in the bow tie and blue shirt on the South line on Friday, I saw you hugging another guy. You deserve a better man. Coffee? – CSB
- To the uni student who had a bleeding nose on the South Line train, you’re a stunner. Next time let me hlep you? – Bleeding love
- To the stunning Snow White brunette at Central, I was the midget with the moustache on platform 25. I saw you checking me out when I passed you on my skateboard, but I was too bashful to say hi. – Bashful
- To the cute Asian deckhand on the ferry, I like the way you handle that rope. Care to tie me up?
What really amazes me is that it’s not uncommon for these comments to be responded in the next day or two by the people seen. So next time you ride the train, beware, someone may just post about you in the next MX.
