I thought this was going to be a link to one of those ads that list $1 as the rent of an apartment in the village.

you want craigslist hilarity, you got it. I posted an ad for a housemate in Oakland, CA a few years ago and this showed up in my inbox. See how many words here set off your 'i would never live with a person who uttered this word' alarm:

-------

=0 - HELP!!!!!!!!

So, hello..my name's Art. I'm in a bit of a spot here..I'm writing you from NYC. I moved here last Nov. to be with my girlfriend and well, the happened and now I'm moving back--which is very okay cause NY really really doesn't have the good flavor that the Bay Area does.

so i know it's really difficult and I've got a long shot in hell being that I'm way the hell out here and I can't use my charm on you, but...here's my situation: I will be in SF by or around the 13th of May (driving across)...I do have a few friends and a brother in town that I can call on in a last-ditch situation, but the quicker the better...I'm a trance dj originally based out of Santa Cruz and have lived in the Bay Area off and on for a while. It looks like i needed to move out here to really realize what i was missing. Um, I do not have a bunch of cash (maybe shouldn't tell you that..) but I am very responsible once I get cemented, I'm really really cool :] and I won't give you shit for being you. I'll be 29 in June, but my spirit's on a whole different timeline which means I don't take life too seriously and I do take it very seriously, if that makes sense to you.

I have opened back up connections with previous employers and have a few good options regarding getting work right away. Basically put, I can't offer you many of the prerequisite factors of a new rommate (butt load of cash for move-in costs, stability, etc...). What I can garauntee is a kick-ass roommate that does maintain all known factors (unless you're freaky in some way) of what a good roommate situation is.

Another possible situation is this: my best friend Robert (another dj) was originally going to meet me out here (he's in Fresno *gasp* now saving money) until NY proved to be only a shadow of what SF is and is now working his way to meet me in SF on June 1st. He also is as copecetic as me, both being very mellow guys, fun, sincere, very aware and reflective, responsible, and respectful. He, however has been planning for this for a while and does fulfill those other aspects of the new roommate equation (he got money) and we've left open the option of the plausibilty of sharing a room (-both of us are single [now]...he's bi and intermitent / I am very not interested for a long while). Basically, both of us are moving to SF (..were going to do this in NY) to bring to light our musical (and spiritual) culminations, both producing and performing within the underground scene starting with our first event June 30th in San Leandro. We are both from in and around the area and are very poised to bring very special events into being throughout the area (--if you're having 2nd thoughts with having djs in your home, let's get back to that "respectful" aspect...we understand and will work with you).

Third scenario (a short one): I am not financially all too stable right now/ Robert is..if I don't look good and both of us together can't work, please consider him for the room..he is really one of the absolute sweetest guys I've ever met (a humanic anomoly when compared to the general type of population). He has the money, a job, and I know you'll like him.

Well, that's our lot. If you've made it this far, either my writing's gotten better or you actually think we're cool.

ps..there is a picture of both of us attached. I'm on the left, he's on the top, the guy in the middle's Steve --he's the Knome king from Santa Cruz

so, I hope you're mulling this over in your head or at least thought it was interesting. Please contact either of us if there's a possibility with you or if you might know of someone else who's looking for roommates or if you (or someone else) has a closet or living room or garage or basement/washroom that shouldn't be housing someone but it would help your rent, we like that stuff...

Anywhichway, hope to hear from you of course but if not, i sincerely hope you're having fun here on Earth and try to remember what's it's really all about sometimes...

love, light, and walkabout-thinking

Honestly, I didn't even send a reply. Too terrified that he might try to use his "charm" on me.

I mean, you just don't even want this kind of person in your general or even virtual vicinity, right?

You're not trying to "peak" interest, you're trying to "pique" interest.

You're probably not looking for a "discrete" relationship, you philandering buttwipe, because you don't know what "discrete" means. You're looking for a "discreet" relationship.

One female human is a "woman," not a "women."

People who make these errors should not be having sex.

re: If I look 33 and feel 25, does it make me 29? ;) - 29 - 19

I am a guy!!!! To answer the headline question:
If I look 33 and feel 25, does it make me 29?
This question brings up many thoughts to this obviously bored individuals need for entertainment. So let’s begin shall we?

Ok it appears as though we have a syllogism here

If I look 33
and feel 25
does it make me 29?

So let’s take this argument and dissect its intent

If I look 33
And feel 25
Am I 29?

I think you see where I am going here as you probably realize that you cannot be 29 based on just feeling and looking an age. In fact, Age is based on a time construct created by man based on earthly rotation and revolutions around the sun. One ages in years based on these revolutions around the sun. So let’s take the argument again.

IF I look as though I have revolved around the sun 33 times
And feel as though I have only revolved 25 times
Did I revolve 29 times?

Now this argument is leaking worse then an Army engineered levee.

Conclusions, There is no possible way you can be 29 years old based on this argument.

Thanks for humoring me.
Oh I am 41, look 33, but feel 5, does that make me 19?

$950 - Phat pad, great deal, lots of beer, the best bros, and tons of...
(marina / cow hollow)

Date: 2006-02-02, 8:09PM PST

Snatch up this deal.
Totally sick pad located in great part of Cow Hollow/Marina. It is a four bedroom flat with two full baths, nice hardwood floors, a big kitchen with top of the line modern appliances, 500 lb grill (you can cook for a fuckin' army on this thing), an extra refrigerator stocked full of beer, a huge living room-20'x 25', with 42 inch plasma TV, surround sound, and nice couches. It is an old house with modern appliances and is newly refurbished-bro it is so sweet! We are the top flat and our downstairs neighbors are tech dorks so we do what we want, including indoor drunken wrestling and pounding the shit out of...ah don't want to get kicked off of Craigslist.

The room is huge (15'x 16') with a walk-in closet, new carpeting, and two big windows.

We are three old friends, mid 20's, looking for a fourth roommate. All of us are pretty tight, we were in the same fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi, at UCLA. I am in PR and my bros are brokers, one is an exchange and the other insurance. We work hard and play even harder. We usually go out three to four nights a week. Always, I mean always, on Friday and Saturday. We have our favorite clubs and bars and are straight up players. Our interests are sports, nice shit, beer, and hot women (but sometimes you get what you can take). Send us a bio. about yourself and answer these questions:

1.) Where are you from and where did you go to college?
2.) What did you major in and were you in a frat?
3.) What do you do for a living?
4.) Do you like to party and how many beers can you drink in a night?
5.) What sports did you/do you play?
6.) What kind of a car do you drive?
7.) How many girls have you crushed (we posted a similar ad days ago and people dodged this question, DON'T DO THAT, we want numbers)?
8.) How long have you lived in the city and how many sluts do you know (for booty calls)?
9.) What could you add to this household and why should we pick you?

These questions are no joke, we are serious. This is what we do and who we are-so don't be offended, we are just being honest. We will send pics. after we get your email and if we like you. We didn't say this before but our buddy's dad owns this shit and that is why the rent is so cheap, I mean we could charge like $1300 for the room.

Rent is $950
Utilities are around 100 a month, includes wireless, 500 channels, and lots of porn.
Deposit is $1250
No lease, month to month.
No pets

What's up guys.

I saw your add on craigslist. Your house sounds like a fun time. I too enjoy drinking and crushing bitches... preferably while drinking. But who doesn't right? You want the inside scoop to make sure you don't wind up living with some loser who just talks a big game, but can't back it up with action. And when I say action, I of course mean crushing bitches while drinking.

Anyways, you had some questions for me.

1. I'm originally from Chicago. Consequently, like most Chicagoans, despite living in the Bay Area for going on 6 years now, I could give two shits about any sports teams from here. I am a Bears fan, a Bulls fan, and a White Sox fan. And, yes I've always been a White Sox fan. I have ample proof. Accusing me of being a bandwagoner is a good way to get hurt.

I went to Berkeley.

2. I majored in English and I was in Sigma Chi. I don't know what the fuck Delta Sigma Phi is. Sounds like a bunch of FAGS to me though. You seem to have left the part out of your ad where after drunken wrestling you all break out the cooking spray and corn hole each other, then you break out the double dildos for some hot ass to ass action, screaming like bicthes all the while, to the consternation of the tech dorks downstairs, I'm sure.

3. I'm a writer. I used to work for Maxim but I had to quit because they started putting ugly old bitches on the cover, like Cindy Crawford and Nicolette Sheridan. Then this month they put Hilary Duff's little sister and that was the last straw for me. Every time I see that girl's face it makes me want to chase her down, strap a saddle on her, and cram a fist full of hay down her throat. Currently I'm looking for a new job with a quality men's magazine that only puts HOT bitches on the cover, like Dakota Fanning.

4. Do I like to party? What kind of question is that? Is the sun hot?
Is the sun bright? Is the son composed entirely of hydrogen and helium atoms which are continually ripped asunder and recombined, releasing immense amounts of atomic energy that enable life to exist on Earth?
Hell fucking yeah bros I like to party.

How many beers can I drink in a night? More that you, you Delta Sigma Phi pussies. Why don't you go cry in the corner while I fuck your girlfriend? How many beers can I drink... Jesus.

5. In high school I ran track. My events were hurdles (high and int.), pole vault, discus and shotput. In college I was on the Tae Know Do team, but I had to quit because I threw my back out having sex with a fat girl. That was a mistake. I shouldn't have drank those 278 beer that night. Now I don't do any competitive sports. I just basically hit the gym a few times a week... blast the pecs and quads, you know. Oh and I skateboard.

6. A BMW 3-series. White. Three horny bitches come standard. WHAT!

7. What? Today? HA! j/k I've crushed 12. Pretty low number, I know, but I've also ass crushed 7 of them. I have mouth crushed countless filthy slamhogs. Slamhogs are my passion.

8. I've lived in the city for 2.5 years and I know a few sluts.
Especially this one girl Linda. She'll bang anything (hopefully your house is wheelchair accessable?) As far as exact number I can't really say. Some are strictly sluts, while some stand on the razor's edge between slut and whore, and still some others are just plain whores.
But you know me, I don't sweat these hos I let these hos, you know what I'm saying bro? I'm always down to meet more though.

9. Well lets see. As far as what I could add, I have tons of music and a hardrive full of porn. It's all straight porn though, so I don't know how much good that will do you. I also have turn tables and a bunch of records, great for parties (DJs get the bitches all wet). I have a lot of good stereo equipment, and I have a great hook up on the date rape drug - good for those girls who are all stuck up and shit. As far as why you should pick me, that's easy. Because I'm way fucking cooler that any of the other limp dick, Abercrombie wearing, Old School worshipping, trucker hat to-the-right cocking poser fags that are going to answer your shitty ad.

Now can you party or can't you?

Dear Catherine-

When I offered to buy you a drink, I was only being polite. I'm not that into you. Frankly I was surprised when you accepted, since you had a half full glass in your hands.

So where did you go? What the fuck am I supposed to do with a glass of Bud Light? I don't drink that shit beer.

You suck.

seeking any woman with a garage - 33

Reply to: pers-386221✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧
Date: 2007-07-31, 1:09PM HST

I recently ended a relationship with a wonderful woman, we just were not meant for each other. I am seeking a new relationship with a woman with a nice garage. The garage does not have to be enclosed, but must have plenty of lockable storage. A workbench would be nice with good lighting too. I live in town, so the garage would need to be located near UH. The girl will need to have a sense of humor to be able to put with my odd sense of humor. I am open to any race, ages 22-45, perfer thin to average, and physical beauty, but less attractive women need to make up for it in "garage".

To alleviate your curiosity, I will now describe myself. White, male, 33, 5'10", exercise regularly, modestly attractive, fun to be around.

I thought i would give CL a try since I keep meeting women who live in condos. Mahalo for reading my listing.

Greetings,

Our apartment building has been a veritable revolving door over the past few months (thanks in part due to the excessively permissive flexible leasing system instituted by our notoriously spaced-out landlord) and our apartment has been no exception. Our current roommate, a nice beefy self-proclaimed hillbilly from the Twin Cities and a die-hard Cubs fan to boot (which naturally fueled malicious little one-liners from my former naturalized Southsider tendencies) is moving in with his long-standing girlfriend (who, mercifully, is a die-hard White Sox fan) following the dictates of Cupid which thankfully won over a frankly trivial raging century-old intra-city rivalry.

Of course, considering the fact that White Sox won the big one in 2005 while the Cubs have been . . . .

Never mind. Cubs fans know the facts very well while Sox fans would have used arguments along similar lines several, several times in the past, particularly in the wake of the Sox' misfortunes this season.

(Hmm. This is worrisome. I'm a Southsider purely by academic vocation only and don't really know baseball that well. Yet I talk the talk. I'll confess to not being wholly capable of walking the walk)

However, back to the main intentions of this post. The apartment is a spacious unit with three bedrooms, a basement, two bathrooms, a large backyard, a large kitchen and a living room area. The apartment is situated around 5 blocks away from the Six Corners and is on North Avenue.

The dramatis personae who currently inhabit this financially serendipitous piece of real estate are currently three in number.

One is a nice little 24-year-old blonde girl from Iowa who used to attend Columbia College and now intends to pursue academic interests in forensics (which I shall maintain to my dying day is the result of too much CSI). She has a big scaredy-cat of a dog who is probably one of the frendliest mutts for blocks around. Nobody who has crossed this threshold (save the landlord, strangely enough) has ever been greeted by anything other than a vigorous wag of the tail and a friendly "smile" on his face, as the little blonde girl puts it. Do not mess with the little blonde girl. She might be tiny and almost always alternate between sleepy and sweet. But, be warned, she listens to Rancid and Drop Kick Murphys, is tattooed (well, ONE tattoo) and will mess you up in extremely diabolical ways if you feel the need to be a jerkwad.

The second character is the aforementioned dog. He's neutered and he knows it. He will also fetch you one of his toys (once he gets to know you better), hold it tantalizingly just beyond your grasp and then run at top-speed into the little blonde girl's room where he shall energetically chew it every time he espies you after this baiting incident. You have been warned. DO NOT FALL PREY TO HIS TEMPTATIONS. BRING YOUR OWN TOYS TO CHEW ON.

The third character (and almost certianly the most minor in the roll) is a 23-year-old boy from a magical land far, far away. He's an aspiring economist, a wannabe investment banker, a graduate student at a smarty-pantsy university in town and purveyor of all good things literary, culinary, cinematic and musical. He's a vegetarian, usually smarter than a doorknob, frequently complimented by mothers of winsome young lasses to be a good-looking boy, easy-going enough to be a pushover without being a punching bag and is currently struggling with a newfound discovery that he has inexplicably and unprecedentedly become very, very shy around girls. He has no explanations or deductions about this. Applications for, ahem, things OTHER than the room in the apartment will be gladly accepted and be duly processed expeditiously by the boy. Since he's single, he will PERSONALLY give you big, BIG bonus points if the prospective applicant has hot, fun-loving and flexible FEMALE friends. His mannerisms are often British (though he's not), smart and world-wise and will insist that certain words must necessarily be written a certain way, Microsoft Word US Edition be damned.

This boy is currently the writer of this post.

Still with us? Good. Well, qualifications for prospective applicants are:

1. Pretty please with a cherry on top be in our age range (which would approximately be around 20 - 26 years of age in human years). This means that people who whistle and wittle twigs into fanciful representations of Lyndon B. Johnson as they "remember" him or people who need fake IDs to get into bars and clubs and still have the smell of high school lockers on them would be politely spoken to and firmly refused any further consideration.

2. Pretty please be clean, hygenically repronsible, a frequent washer of one's own plates and cutlery, financially responsible and suitably well-rounded and tolerant. We occasionally watch soap operas for the hot chicks (well, the boy does) but we would prefer it if we don't end up in one with a significantly less attractive and less wealthy cast of characters (once again, this is all from the boy).

3. It is generally preferable if you are the owner of a bed for your room (and a big point in your favour if you are the owner of a television and a stereo, adds the boy, so that he can play acid jazz and soothing lounge music on the stereo and watch fanciful foreign films with bad subtitles on the other).

4. The little blonde girl has said that she will be more open to female roommates than she was before. So, the little blonde girl has one bonus point for you if you're a non-bitchy female. The boy is unconcerned about the gender of the applicant as long as the applicant has hot, fun-loving and flexible FEMALE friends.

5. Bonus points if you're a student and are still financially stable. Double bonus points if you know and appreciate the arts, cinema and music in particular. Triple bonus points if you have a sense of humour.

This advertisement is being published a WHOLE MONTH IN ADVANCE (the place will be available by September 2007) because the last time we ran an advertisement on Craigslist, we were swamped by over a hundred applications, which we assume would be due to:

a. The conducive location of the apartment. The apartment is in one of the nicer neighborhoods in the city peopled by many interesting people and is strategically located close to grocery stores, convenience stores, Blue Line stations and bus stops.

b. The ridiculous cheapness of the place (considering the neighborhood) without the inhabitants being similarly so. The landlord of the place is accomodating, friendly, slightly mad and very flexible with the lease. A security deposit of $400 would be required and all utilities will be shared.

However, unlike last time, no telephone numbers would be provided here for you to call. A correspondence with detailed information about the applicant is deemed absolutely necessary (please take note of the amount of detail WE are providing you about us. Appreciate that and reciprocate. This would be one basic quality we are looking for in our prospective roommate), appointments will be booked (and hopefully maintained), viewings will be scheduled and finally, a telephone number will be provided just so that you don't get lost while looking for the place.

A decision will be made in consultation with the landlord (WHO WILL NOT BE MEETING YOU) and you shall be informed via email about the decision. If you're selected, you will receive information as to whether you could move in any time earlier than September (which is entirely possible, thanks to the urgency that Cupid inspires in young people) and any other relevant updates that you should know.

Peace out, ladies and laddies.

8x8x16 Cement Block - $1
Reply to: sale-395453✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧
Date: 2007-08-12, 6:24PM EDT

I have approximately 275 to 300 cinder blocks for sale. They are standard 8"x8"x16". They cost about $1.75 plus delivery fees if you buy them somewhere else. I'm asking $1.00 per block.

You pick them up and move them yourself.

Please don't waste my fucking time with endless emails. These are plain old cinderblocks, for fuck sake. You don't need to do an engineering study on the feasibility of using these fucking things as building material. That's what they're for, you fucking idiots. Now listen, we're all busy people here. You want the blocks? Come get the fucking blocks and give me one dollar for every block you take. How fucking hard is that? You don't have to tell me what you're building. I don't give a fuck. I'm not interested in helping you build it either. Why? Because I don't give a fuck. I just want to get these fucking things off my property. So if you want them, get the fuck over here with some money and take them. The next fucking moron that emails me with "I'm building a blah blah blah, and was wondering if..." The answer is NO. Come get the fucking blocks and build it yourself. If I knew how to do masonry, don't you think I'd be using the blocks myself instead of selling them for half fucking price? What the fuck is wrong with you people? The next one of you fucking jackasses that emails me with some sob-story bullshit is getting his email address added to the North American Man/Boy Love Association mailing list.

You want the blocks? Come get the blocks, and don't fuck with me!

We have this Batman car float - please see pictures - that we've used in the Maryville homecoming parade. I would hate to destroy it - it took forever to make. If you can use it - maybe in a parade or just to let your kids play on it please come by and take it. It's built on a 4x8 plywood base and the overall dimensions are approximately 5x9.

It's in the driveway at:
824 Cedar Valley Dr.
Maryville, IL 62062

I would recommend typing our address in Google for directions. If you have any questions please call me at 618-304-0907.

+++IS YOUR COMPUTOR ACTING BAD?+++
Reply to: see below
Date: 2007-08-23, 11:36PM PDT

SAVE money, don't toss or replace it, bring it to me.

I clean viruses, trojans, spyware, etc, and restore your computor to its optimum ability.

I can UPGRADE your box to maximize its performance AND RELIABILITY.

The vast majority of computors also have HUNDREDS of REGISTRY ERRORS which slow the boot and other processes. I correct these errors.

They also often have lots of "cookies", and/or various "spyware", and/or "adware", etc. which also serve to slow your box down CONSIDERABLY. I REMOVE these,

and if you wish, I WILL SHOW YOU HOW YOU can KEEP IT UP AND RUNNING RIGHT!

All you need to do is call me at 360-719-3523 (Vancouver) and if you have to leave a message, I'll get back to you A.S.A.P. As I'm pretty busy, I can't always come to the phone, but if you'll say your name and your phone number (CLEARLY and TWICE so I don't have to REPLAY it), I promise you I'll return your call. Give me a time frame and HOW LATE I can call you as I will call as late as Midnight if you wish.

NO, I DON'T charge for a quick "look-see" and recommendation.
NO, I probably can't diagnose over the phone. I simply do not have the time.
NO, I DON'T charge by the hour (I'm HONEST) and most often the bill is $50 or less for labor.
AND, you can save even more by supplying any needed parts yourself if you wish.
Just CALL me at 360-719-3523 and SAVE some CASH and your COMPUTOR.
Thanks for looking!
Jim

And, to the jackass(ES) who keeps "flagging" this ad, Please, GROW a pair.

Little "man", I know what you're doing and how you're doing it. NO ad can get flagged in less than 20 minutes without the assistance of a computor and I wonder how Craig and the others will like it when they find out they have had their system played with and manipulated by you. I feel sorry for the likes of you who have NOTHING better to do than sit at a computor and continually harass and make misery for others.

You are interefering with, disrupting and gernerally causing undue harm to peoples lives and I believe there is a special place in HELL for you and your kind.

GET the DECENCY and GUTS to Call ME and arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet and for me to rearrange your attitude. You have my number THREE times above. It's too bad you haven't attained a level of common courtesy. If the HONEST way I do business (I tell the truth and give people their options) offends you, you have Rights. Among these is the Right to LEAVE and go elsewhere. PLEASE, PLEASE EXERCISE that Right. Perhaps the French would allow you to infect their country. WE don't need your type in America. Since my favorite color isn't blue, I'm not holding my breath waiting for your ineffectual call, or feeble attempt to justify yourself and/or your actions.

I'm tired of your crap. I've contacted a buddy of mine who works for the feds. I believe he can nail you for violations of the ANTI-TERRORISM bill signed by clinton AND the current Patriot Act.

AND, ANYONE else who has been harassed by this simpleton and/or had their ads improperly "flagged" PLEASE feel free to contact me with the particulars. If we work together, perhaps we can remove this unmitigated ass to the federal pen for about 25 to life.
My # is here three times. CALL ME.

Reply to: pers-488056✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧
Date: 2007-11-24, 10:49AM PST

Hi, not sure if this is the right section but here goes. I am a 23 year old christian man looking for a family with a daughter about my age or younger who wants an old fashioned courtship. I get to know you as a family, we abide by your rules, no premarital sex. I am responsible, fairly handsome, white, about average height and build. home schooled, love music, dogs, fishing, spending time with my younger brothers and sisters. I have a good job as a union carpenter foreman. I am honest and hardworking.
She should be a christian, home schooled is prefered but not a must, have an apreciation for music, hopefully play an instrument or two, and strive to be the type of woman described in proverbs 31. and she should be pretty but not just on the outside.
One thing you should know is that I really want to move out of this area soon, and that would mean her too. I want to own a farm in the midwest or maybe tennesee or kentucky.

Proverbs 31:10-31:

Description of a Worthy Woman
10An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
14She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
16She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
20She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and (W)purple.
23Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
26She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29"Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all."
30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.

Proverbs 31:10-31:

Description of a Worthy Woman

10 An excellent wife, who can find?
Me. I can. look while I do it.
11 A man looks at her, she makes eye contact.
That means this woman wants you.
12 And yet she is chaste and not wanton
Free from mincing and gnashing of teeth.
13 She screams at the roar of the mouse
For she has not a brain in her head.
14 She is like the princess called Peach
Dependent to me and perhaps bipolar.
15 Cleaving only to me as she suckles our child
as she had succumbed to my bullet train manseed,
and produced something I cannot shake.
16 She considers a dress and buys it;
After she begs for the fruit of my wallet,
and if I think it does not look too slutty.
17 She thinks she is fat although she is not.
How can she be reassured?
18 Her place is known to herself and all.
That place nightly encircles my dick.
19 I picked her up on an exercise bike
At the Y near my house and the Mission.
20 Her spandex shone like the sunset
O'er the mountains of her legwarmers.
21 The VCR is not what she can program.
(I observed this for my stand-up improv.)
22 She sews clothing for our child the youngest,
the likes that Osh-Kosh could not design.
23 And yet she o'erspends of my income
And hers, too, that she gleans from the Applebee's.
24 A serious wife aims marriage,
a serious wife who aims marriage.
25 Pomp and Circumstance are never her garments,
she did not graduate from a high school.
26 Now for you, how to find such a morsel:
A classic want ad may instruct.
27 I first read this in Farmer's Journal:
Woman, must look good on inside & outside
and wish to move to a farm in Kentucky.
28 Her parents would meet me and upbraid me not
For I'll shield the hymen of their daughter.
29 Must love singly, work hard and own tractor,
love always the dog and the catching of fish.
30 She must spend time with my siblings,
but not with games so worldly as Boggle.
31 And the last, most important requirement:
Please send a photo of tractor.

I'm sorry. You were taking so long in the bathroom and this guy was looking at me. Next thing I knew we were making out and you came back and stormed out of the bar. I just want you to know that I really liked you and I'm not gay, I just have gay experiences sometimes. You are a beautiful girl and I'm glad that you came on date with me. I would like very much to try again. This time I will give all my love to you.

To start this on a lighter note, YOU ARE ALL FUCKING RETARDS.
Now that I've said that maybe ill try to tell you why you all deserve to have the right to add to the genetic pool removed.
1. I have a life outside of the house, None of you do.I go out to bars, restraunts , museums, coffe shops, I read indie magazines, I do not like any stereotypical male activities. (exception for sex but read on for that.) I have a life where it does not involve watching the game, drinking a couple of beers, and laughing at something that is hip on youtube. It is precisely this reason that I throw myself into school, culture, and not being at home. You're all 21 get a life past high school shit.

2. I have a double major, one in art and one in theoretical mathematics , which requires approximately 9000 percent of my time not spent sleeping and making myself not look like a bum. So if I on occasion forget my laundry in the dryer, or dont get to the single plate, cup, and pot that i dirtied ten seconds ago, please do not get outrageously bent out about it. Next time I find that my clean clothes were thrown on the disgusting basement floor, or dishes that I had used half an hour ago to make dinner with are in my nice clean bed, let me say that I will burn your section of the house down.

3. Please dont remind me that I'm not from a wealthy family by making sarcastic jokes about having a job, I can hear you and I swear to god that your car will not start ever again if i have to listen to how nice it is to be rich. Also eating all of my food, and then ordering pay per view which you expect me to help pay for is also off limits, along with running a space heater in your downstairs bathroom because you dont want a cold ass. Deal with it, I paid an extra 80 bucks for that shit last month, and trust me I'm going to fucking send you the bill.

4.On the topic of school, you are all unable to find majors that involve sports and burping, so you choose bullshit ones. Great for you, I didnt. Mr. Business major who never does homework, never leaves from the couch, and will not let me check the weather, You will probably make more money than me ever. But you're dumb, and so is that barely legal freshman you rail every weekend. My history major roomate, your parents are rich beyond absurdity ( they seriously bought you a thirty thousand dollar car after you smashed up your used bmw) and you will live off of them till you get your phd, good luck on doing anything with that when you can barely write a paper, or hold a conversation (exception for those about sports). The industrial engineer who lives with me, you are my best friend, but you are still dumb, you couldnt cut it as an ME, or a CE, or even as a consulting major, so you took engineers for business. Sorry. The ornmantel horticulture major, you're nice, but going to school to learn how to cut grass is a waste. and finally my construction management roomate. Actually you're not dumb, just never there to talk to.

4. I am not dumb because I am studying art. Once more and ill make art from your fucking cd collection.

5. Hour shower roomate, get the hell out of there, i want to be naked and wet too.

6. If I listen to a record, using headphones, at two in the morning with my door shut and the light on dim, please do not disturb me, Im tired and relaxing.

7.All of you drive nicer cars that your parents bought you, and I can understand that you dont want them scratched, but just because I drive a nicer used VW that I am personally paying for each month does not mean you can take my keys and park it in the little old ladies driveway she lets us use. I have a 4 inch clearence, and if my bottom if fucked, all of you are getting the bill. Trust me and let me park in the spot my rent is paying for, I promise i will not dent your car.

8. On the topic of sex, I have it on occasion, with the same steady partner, who no longer wants to come over due to the catcalls, pounding, and yelling. When you all are getting some, I have the curtesy to be quiet and in my room. Do the same or i swear you'll never get any again.

9.I work about 35 hours a week, and study for about 100 or something, so when i sleep i try to be quiet and not wake you up, six in the morning shouting about lifting when I've been asleep 45 minutes is not acceptable. A bat to your face just might be.

10. I'm done with this one. Nicknames are stupid, use my full name when i am around my friends and collegues or so help me god, I will tell the world all of your drunken secrets. Including the one about doing a chick who used to be a guy mr business major.

Thank you and goodnight I fucking hope.

Police offer amnesty to people who stole from Craigslist hoax victim

12:17 PM PDT on Tuesday, March 25, 2008

By AP and kgw.com Staff

JACKSONVILLE, Ore. -- Police say belongings removed from a Southern Oregon man's property have begun slowly reappearing at his home, a day after a pair of hoax ads on Craigslist cost Robert Salisbury much of what he owned.

And police said people who return the items voluntarily will not be prosecuted.

The ads popped up Saturday afternoon, saying the owner of a Jacksonville home was forced to leave the area suddenly and his belongings, including a horse, were free for the taking, said Jackson County Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Colin Fagan.

But the ads were a hoax. Robert Salisbury had no plans to leave.

The independent contractor was at Emigrant Lake when he got a call from a woman who had stopped by his house to claim his horse.

On his way home he stopped a truck loaded down with his work ladders, lawn mower and weed eater.

"I informed them I was the owner, but they refused to give the stuff back," Salisbury said. "They showed me the Craigslist printout and told me they had the right to do what they did."

The driver sped away after rebuking Salisbury. On his way home he spotted other cars filled with his belongings.

Once home he was greeted by close to 30 people rummaging through his barn and front porch.

The trespassers, armed with printouts of the ad, tried to brush him off. "They honestly thought that because it appeared on the Internet it was true," Salisbury said. "It boggles the mind."

Jacksonville police and Jackson County sheriff's deputies arrived but by then several cars packed with Salisbury's property had fled.

He turned some license plate numbers over to police. By late Monday, s ome people who learned of the hoax began to return items taken from the home. Authorities weren't able to say how much or what had been returned, but did say that by late Monday afternoon, items were "starting to piling up" in Salisbury's driveway.

Michelle Easley had seen the ad that claimed Salisbury's horse had been declared abandoned by the sheriff's department and was free to a good home.

"I can't stand to see a horse suffer so I drove out there and got her," Easley said. "The horse didn't look abandoned. She is in good shape for being 32 years old."

But it looked odd, so she left a note on Salisbury's door explaining the ad. She then decided to call to make sure the ad was legitimate when the second similar ad appeared.

"I feel bad because I was a part of it," Easley said. "It felt right to call the police."

Fagan praised Easley's honestly but said prosecution was likely for anybody caught with Salisbury's property.

Officers were still contacting people who were seen leaving Salisbury's house with his stuff. If they return the taken items, no charges will be filed. But people who don’t return what they took may face charges.

Items can be returned with no questions asked, Fagan said.

Detectives have contacted Craigslist's legal team to try to trace the ad.

Meanwhile, Salisbury could not even relax on his porch swing -- someone took it.

I see you everywhere. On the streets. In your cars. In class. At work. At bars. At restaurants. And all I want to do is go up to you and say just one thing:

Fuck you.

Fuck you incessantly bitching. About everything. About your ex-boyfriend. About your current boyfriend. About your slutty roommate. About your roommate who never gets laid. About your hangover. About all the lame TV. Shut. Your. Fat. Fucking. Mouth. You don’t like something? Change it. Who gives a fuck about your roommate. She’s having more/less sex than you? Why does it even matter. You saw your ex-boyfriend with another girl, and even though “you totally don’t care, like, at all”, you still talk and talk and talk about him. About nothing at all. Don’t like your current boyfriend? Talk to him. Dump him. Do something. Life is such a fucking adventure. Life is fleeting. Make it count. Do something. Change something. Take some fucking responsibility. Make it worth living.

Fuck you for not being able to choose the right men. Fuck you for following the same sorry pattern of behavior you always do, like a fucking clock. Fuck you for picking up someone at a bar, fucking him, and crying when he doesn’t call. What the fuck did you expect? Fuck you for going back to your ex-boyfriend, who’s always 3-5 years older, works a fucking dead end job, drinks every night, and has a career aspiration that he hasn’t followed up on in years. But he’s a musician. He’s an artist. He’s something that impresses you. So you stay. Because you’re weak. Because you’re stupid. Fuck. You. Fuck you for jumping from relationship to relationship like fucking lily pads. If the last two starving artists were insensitive, cheated on you, and made you pay for everything, does it nor stand to reason that the third one might be, gosh, the same? Maybe?

Fuck you for not calling. Fuck you for letting me think that our date went really well. (Oh, I guess that four-hour walk we went punctuated by making out was because you felt uncomfortable saying “no thanks”, right? Fuck you). Fuck you for not being a grown up. Fuck you for not taking responsibility. Fuck you for not saying three words: “I’m not interested”. Fuck you for not growing up. Fuck you for smoking. It’s a filthy motherfucking disgusting habit, and kissing you tastes like licking an industrial smokestack. Yes I’m judging you. Fuck you for spending hundreds of dollars on stupid, bullshit, trivialities. Fuck you for getting mad when I express an opinion you don’t want to hear.

Fuck you for getting mad when I play video games. I don’t get pissy when you and your inane girlfriends watch Sex and the City, do I? (Even though I should because it encourages all of you to act like stupid tramps. Chasing that theoretical “perfect man”. Mindlessly drinking. Expecting unrealistic media constructs that don’t exist in real life. Fuck you). No, I don’t get pissy when you do those things. You know why? They relax you. That’s why I play video games. They’re relaxing. They let the mind take a vacation from all the shit. Fuck you for not understanding that. Fuck you for twisting the situation into a them or me choice. Fuck you for thinking they’re juvenile.

Fuck you for wearing golashes. I guess they’re fashionable now, but you looked better in Uggs. They’re just giant pieces of rubber. You look like a fisherman. Or a city sewage worker. Fuck you for thinking small dogs are fashion accessories. That’s a living fucking thing that depends on you for survival. Fuck you for wanting to be like Pairs Hilton. Fuck you for your neo-feminist double standard bullshit you heard a friend say once in college. Oh, you didn’t get that promotion at work just because you’re a woman? Women should be equal to men? You’re right. They should. They absolutely should. But Fuck. You. For expecting me to treat you like a “lady”. You want to talk about a double motherfucking standard? I paid for the gas that I put in the car I paid for with my money to drive you to this over-priced, idiotic restaurant you “had” to go to, where you almost always have too much wine and start yelling and you expect me to pay for the whole thing? Fuck you. Want me to treat you like a lady? Fine. Treat like a motherfucking gentleman. I’ll provide for you, sure. I’ll support you. But that means dinner on the table every day when I get home. That means sex when I say. That means you demure to me in every situation. That means essential domestic slavery. (Yeah, the fifties don’t sound so fucking great now, do they?).

Fuck you buying into that “dangerous to walk at night” bullshit. It’s called common sense. Exercise it. The world wants you to think you’re meek, easily victimized. Take fucking charge. Fuck you for yelling at me when we could have an adult, mature discussion. But instead, you had to categorize every trivial thing I’ve done to piss you off and then they all come tumbling out at once so what could have been conducted in a grown-up manner comes off as a verbal blitzkrieg of everything I don’t do that MTV tells you I should.

Fuck you for telling me about you friends’ boyfriends. Fuck you for thinking that when you say all the things your friends’ boyfriends do that I’m taking it to heart. I’m not. All you’re saying is “These are the ways in which you fail me”. Fuck you for asking me loaded questions. Fuck you for guilt tripping me. Fuck you for expecting to know why you’re mad. I don’t. Fuck you for not communicating.

Fuck you for not accepting me even when we’re in a relationship. Fuck you for not liking me. Because my car isn’t nice enough. Because I’m not tall enough. Because I make too much money. Because I make too much money. Because I didn’t call soon enough. Because you went back to someone else. Because you’re “not looking for anything serious right now”. Because I’m not as good as that one ex you never shut your mouth about. Because you don’t like my tattoos. Because I have too many. Because too few. Fuck you for drunk texting me that it “wuldint wurk out” (Her spelling errors). Fuck you for breaking up with me over the phone, over the computer, but never face to face.

Fuck you for getting angry when I check you out. Fuck you for getting angry that someone’s looking at you when you’re in a skirt that doesn’t even come down as far as the pockets it has, wearing black fuck me shoes and a titty shirt that makes your cleavage look like the grand canyon. How dare I, right? Fuck you for wanting my attention. Fuck you for holding up the line. Fuck you for talking on your cell phone. Fuck you for being childish.

Fuck you for responding to this with snarky comments about how I must not get laid, or live in my parents basement, or I'm a libtard, or any other standard craigslist response. Fuck you for thinking women can incessantly whine about how guys can't find a clitoris or g-spot or constantly cheat but I can't point out all the ways in which you inevitably never live up to your marketing. Fuck you for telling me I'm too angry. I'm too negative. I'm too bitter. Fuck you.

But most of all, fuck you for championing mediocrity. You complain about the lack of good men? Look around. Game recognize game.

Fuck. You.

Hello,

I am seeking out a roommate. I've had several the past 3 months that did not work out so well and am hoping to find "the perfect housemate." I think it can be done!

1. I am a plastic surgeon, single straight male, and am wealthy but rather lonely. I could keep this house to myself, and have for about a year, but I've realised that life is much better when it's shared with people who are conscious (as opposed to my clients and my nursing staff!). (This is not to say that my nursing staff is unconscious - obviously they are not! It's just very difficult to become friends with a staff that is somewhat dubious of my methods. I'm no rogue, but I do have Eastern-influenced techniques that some find odd and/or disconcerting - but I do have a 99% success rate! In any case, it doesn't make much sense to mix business and pleasure.)

2. I do have a dog, Basil Ironweed (yes that is his name, people seem to be confused that I have given him a full name like a person and some kind of laugh, but I assure you I take my dog very seriously and treat him with respect, and I ask that you do the same). It would actually be ideal if you have a female dog of pure pedigree (I'd need to see the papers though, for breeding purposes) and I'd prefer her to be a medium-sized dog (I will consider most breeds except absolutely no Australian Kelpies and no American Water Spaniels, please! The colouring of the mating dogs' possible kin would be horrendous if this were the case! Also, Basil is a Border Collie in case you were wondering!) If you do not have a dog, that is also fine. All other pets will be considered except: no cats unless they are of the outdoor variety, no arthropods, and all avians must be salmonella-free, clipped toenails, and tagged.

3. My house has only a one-car garage. It used to be a two-car one, but I decided to convert half of it into a micro-personal gym as I am rather health conscious. (I do have a gym membership, but my gym is not 24-hour, and sometimes at night I really need to get on the bowflex to burn off some of my energy since I have a lot of it! Also, after meals it's inconvenient for me to run off to the gym, and that is why I need one at my disposal. The gym membership is because they have a pool there, and swimming is really good for the joints. Just in case you were wondering.) That said, you'll have to use street parking, but I assure you that my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there is usually a spot right out in front of my house! (The only time the spot is taken is when the lunch truck comes for the construction workers that are on the corner of my street. It only sits there for about 20 minutes between 1 and 2 pm during the week, depending on how chatty the boys are that day.)

Anyways, I have a few rules that need to be followed, but other than that, we should get along fine!
I request that you listen to all music via headphones. I have mild tinnitus and the sounds from most Hi-Fi equipment sans headphones really irriate me. I am open to discussing music, but sadly we cannot directly share it as my ears can't handle rapidly changing frequencies. (If you'd like to share lyrics, I'd be more than delighted to oblige!)

If you are going to cook, please do not use the following spices: curries, paprika, anything Cajun, and dill. The smells of these things turns my stomach. (If you have any scents that you'd like to avoid, by all means let me know and I'll do you the same honour.)

You must brush your teeth at least twice a day. If there is anything I cannot stand it's filthy teeth. (Believe me, I've had a couple roommates who just could not handle this simple routine - your gingiva may not mind, but I certainly DO.)

If you are going to watch tv, please let me know in advance which programs you'd like to watch. I do have TiVo, by the by, and I have certain shows that I simply must watch when they originally air. I cannot be too flexible with this because I cannot stand to wait to see my programs. You have to understand that I simply have to watch them when they originally air or I will get a little batty. Most of my programs are on public broadcasting and do not tend to run during prime-time spots.

I do not appreciate unannounced house-guests. I need to know at least two days in advance that company is coming - I need to know the duration of the stay, and the nature of the visit. But, I am open to any and all visitors, I just need to know the specifics involved.

I have reduced rent drastically because I realise that some of my requests might seem slightly stringent. I will pay the bulk of the rent in exchange for your understanding, your commitment to the house, and your humouring of my quirks.

You must be ok with my upholstery hobby. On every third Tuesday of the month I request that you vacate the house between the hours of 4 pm - 11:45pm while I upholster various pieces of antique furniture. I am a perfectionist and require complete silence in the house. I've tried this with housemates who've promised to stay in their rooms, but this proved impossible as bathroom habits demand a regular schedule that interrupts my artisan work. That said, I will give you a small stipend on these days if it will assist you in finding something to do with that block of time.

No newspapers or magazines. The ink gets everywhere and the gloss irritates my eyes. Sorry! You are free to read them on the front porch, but they must be stored outside of the house (perhaps in your car?)

This is not to sound discriminating, but, if you speak either French, Urdu, or Afrikaans, I kindly request that you not speak them in my vicinity as the cadences used in these languages are grating to the ears and nerves, for me.

I have fresh produce delivered from an undisclosed location to my home every Wednesday afternoon. Please do not purchase fruits or vegetables and bring them home. You can request any that you desire and I will add them to my order queue. (I am fastidious about potential-GM produce and pesticide usage - I will not tolerate either!) Also, if you insist on preparing red meat dishes in the home, do cook the meat thoroughly. IT MUST SIZZLE.

No cellphone tones in my home! Please use silent mode only!

You are not to use paints in the home. The noxious odours will aggravate my allergies!

That's the summary of my requests! I do actually have a handbook which I will provide for your perusal during our interview (yes, there will be an interview for final-stage candidates) that outlines all of my more particular requests.

If you are interested, please email me the following information:

1. Name
2. Occupation
3. Age
4. Allergies
5. Favourite author

Cheers!

are your parents retarded?

Because I think your special. I'm not really lonely, i'm not really in need of a serious relationship, and I don't need another mom. I do want someone to hang out with, go eat, just have the company of a new person. I have great friends that you will never understand. I have a love of music that you have never heard of. Plus, a sense of humor that would make a 10 cent whore blush, but that is what i'm aiming for. I take nothing seriously and I don't have time to worry about bullshit. i'm into any kind of woman that will give me a chance because if you were to reply to something like this you would probably fit right into my life.

RE: Jokes and Doubt About the Messiah

More likely Obama is the antichrist than the Messiah. All the same qualities you mention.

Besides, I know for a fact that the Messiah is alive and well and not too far from here. I met Him, up in North Carolina about a week ago. He was sitting at the top of Waterrock Knob. We chatted for a while, and somehow I just knew who it was. We walked down the mountain, and He bought me dinner in Maggie Valley. He's unemployed, yet always has enough money to help people. He cares for a little 83 year old woman and despite the doctors saying there was no hope, she is now leading a normal life again. She was up on the mountain with Him. That's almost 6,300 feet above sea level, and she broke her hip a couple months ago! She said to me, "He saved me!" She says He's a good cook, too.

The Messiah is a strange looking fellow, with shoulder length hair, and an amazing air of confidence about Him. I tried to trick Him - I asked some questions about modern technology, figuring he would not know anything about it. Boy, was I ever wrong! He's an expert! Then I tried asking some questions about other things. He knew about everything I asked. He never spoke negatively about anybody, and He sees things so clearly. When you're near Him, you feel like everything is going to be alright. He said He is coming to live in South Carolina for a while, but did not tell me where. I believe it will be west of Greenville someplace. He seems to really love mountain scenery. He told me there are people He wants to talk with here.

Here's the really odd part:

I never give Him any information about me except my name. My phone rang that night and all I hear is this voice saying "Check your messages." I have an unlisted number.

So I look at the answering machine - no messages. I figure it was a prank call. Later on I sit at the computer and see that there's a message for me. This is the exact message:

SOLVE LIMP SIN

sleeves i ominously pin
slum opinion ivy lessee
mission eleven piously
vinyl enemies oil soups
http://shroudmail.com/iam

So I'm wondering, what does it mean? And how did that message reach me? NOBODY has the address it was sent to. It has to mean that He really IS the Messsiah!!

The message is confusing though. I'm not good at riddles, and have no idea what it's trying to tell me. When I visited the web site, it just says "Study the Message"

Even so, I know somehow it means He will be here among us, in South Carolina, very soon. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true!

If anybody can tell me what the riddle means, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Mono y Mono - ww4m - 25 (Orange County)
Reply to: pers-834783✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧ [?]
Date: 2008-09-09, 8:39PM PDT

My friends and I are looking to lose some weight and need someone with Mono to help us out. We want to be really thin... like people tell us we look good but then behind our backs they wonder if we are still healthy, kind of thin. We have a slight obstacle in our way though, we love to eat so being anorexic is out. Our next resort is Mono (no, regular diet and exercise is not an option).

Your payment for giving one of us your Mono is simple... you get to kiss a really cute girl. We are all cute and really haven't decided who is going to make out with a total stranger (I guess we could draw straws) but any way it is a win win for you. If you are really attractive and a good kisser perhaps we will all make out with you. We have a few things we would like our Mono carrier to posess though (we set high standards for whose Mono we are willing to catch).

1. Be a male between the ages of 21 and 35
2. Be attractive... we would like our last kiss mono free to be with someone who is pleasant to look at
3. Have a sense of humor to lighten the mood should awkwardness arise
4. Have nice breath and we will do the same
5. Be a good kisser
6. Bring proof from a doctor that you do indeed have Mono

Your payment for doing this is that you get to kiss an attractive women while you have Mono. We figure that maybe you haven't been kissing to many people since catching this and could be in need of a good make out.

Reply back to email with your information and a picture of yourself and the best way to be contacted.

Thank you and best of luck!

Yeah, that does sound pretty bad actually. I'm guessing that 1) This isn't really that "major" of an adult studio, and 2) The fee is much lower than normal for a no-name "lookalike" actress

I went to bed last night, immediately after lowering the screen on my laptop, and stacking 1 notebook, and four dvd cases atop it. When I woke up this morning, I removed four dry dvd cases and one dry notebook from atop my computer and opened it, at which time a stream of what i can only imagine is urine trickled down the screen. Picking it up, I found that this mysterious liquid has soaked through the case, effectively destroying my computer forever. I've spent the day touching, smelling and otherwise examining this copious liquid dripping from my laptop, and I've concluded that it can only be urine. I'm baffled as to how this could have happened. I'm left only to conclude that someone has entered my apartment in the dead of night, bypassed my roommate's open and unprotected computer, to remove all the things atop my laptop, open it, piss in it, and meticulously replace all the objects originally there back on top. My offer is this: I will pay you, pee bandit, 30 dollars to come forth and reveal yourself. I don't want to prosecute, I won't report you to the police, i won't even ask you to get your tech-savvy brother to help me fix it, I just want you to ease my worried mind and tell me the reasoning behind this mysterious leaking of your piss into my keyboard. 30 bucks man. come on.

Beth Nelson is 36 years old.
She is in prison at Chowchilla, and will be there at least for another 10 years. She is there for murder and counterfeiting.

She is seeking a man who will marry her WHILE she is in prison!
"Family visits" are allowed with husbands, up to 48 hours per
month. These include sex. Hubands only. No "boyfriends" can
get family visits with her.

Is there a lonely man willing to marry Beth and visit her
often? You must live within driving distance of Chowchilla (15 miles south
of Merced on Hwy 99). Write to Beth if you are interested! Rules are:
1) Do NOT send money!
2) Send Stamps!!! At least 5 stamps!
3) No nude photos! She'll NEVER see them!
4) No "dirty" language. She'll never see the letter
5) Include at least one PHOTO, but NOT a polaroid! Polaroids are NOT allowed! If you only have polaroids, then put them on a photocopy machine, make copies,
and send a copy to her; __NOT__ the polaroids themselves!
6) Use a plain-white-business envelope. DO NOT use a "security" envelope.
7) Again....include first-class STAMPS! At least 5.

Yes, she is ___desperate__! So, your chances of marrying her are EXCELLENT!
Of course, you must visit her FIRST! She will send you a signed "Visitation Form" to fill out. Fill it out and mail it back to her. It takes about 6 weeks before you can visit, after mailing back the form.

*I am NOT Elizebath! She has NO email access!
*I will NOT forward your emails nor photos to her! YOU must send them via regular mail!

I am a born again Christian. Why is this a problem for people????! I have a house that's MINE and I PAID FOR IT. I also have a basement apartment for rent. It's a great space for I'm charing very little for it, $480 monthly, for the right tenant. I know it's ILLEGAL to require a Christian in the apartment, against the human rights. That's why I NEVER put this in my ad. Why then does it keep getting taken down?

HERE IS THE AD I POSTED, AND THE AD THAT KEEPS GETTING REMOVED:

Tokens can be purchased through the landlord. Washer tokens cost $4.15 each and dryer tokens cost $3.60 each. You are not allowed to use foreign
currency or slugs in the washer and dryer. Violators will be fined $100.00 per infraction.

About us: (Landlords)

We are conservative, bible believing, God-fearing, born again, evangelical Christians. We interpret the bible literally in every way possible. We live a strict moral code and observe God’s laws in our everyday life. My wife stays at home and teaches our home-schooled children.

Latest offering smuggled from the former Soviet Union, this pick utilizes old Russian nuclear laser technology. Strap on the convenient Velcro micro-unit, plug into any 1200 Watt power supply, and aim the solar panels directly at the sun and dial in the guitar style of your choice.
From Chet Atkins to Duane Allman, guitar herodom is literally at your fingertips. The micro sensors process the bass and drum beats and submit a series of small electrical shocks directly into your nervous system causing you to involuntarily crank out searing leads.
A word of caution: actual electrical discharges my vary, and side affects could include erratic blues face, trembling of the hips commonly known as Presley syndrome, drooling and involuntary anal discharge. In extreme cases, you may be mistaken for a drummer.

flagged for my for sale ad
Date: 2005-10-20, 11:13PM PDT

I originally posted this in the "for sale" section of this website, but it was flagged and removed within 25 minutes. If you know anyone that can help me, please read on:

Years ago, just before i transferred from Chemeketa to the U of O, i was in a pretty sad state--sexwise, that is. My problem was that i wasn't pulling enough trim to keep my sexual desires satiated. I was basically a walking boner machine, cranking out a product that nobody wanted. Getting laid in high school was no problem: Back in the 90s girls would lift skirt as naturally as they would sneeze or yawn. But when college and hence my 20s came around, something happened. I can't put my finger in it, but i think it had something to do with the fact that women over 20 aren't impressed with things like how quickly you can shotgun a can of Milwaukee's Best Ice.
So my first term at U of O was pretty much vadgeless, no matter what i tried. Dyed my hair blonde, bought a new Merkur with the two spoilers, threw away all of my old Hypercolor T-shirts, even started ordering Cointreau Sidecars at the bar just to seem impressively pedantic. Nothing worked, and I was just about ready to resign myself to life without poon.
But then one day a miracle happened. I was walking back to my quad on 18th and Kincaid when i found something in the holly bushes out in front of the Lorax. It was easily recognizable by the shape of the hardcase poking out from the foliage. I opened up the case and saw that it was an accoustic guitar. A beautiful guitar that said "Regent by Kramer" on the little stem thingie. I placed the guitar back into the soft fluffy red fur that lined the hardcase and lugged it home. I placed a lost and found ad in the Emerald and called it a night. I didn't think it at the time, but that was pretty much the last night i would sleep without two soft milky-white breasts to bury my chin between.
The following day I decided to take the guitar with me to my CompLit 318 class because it was one of those once-a-week 6-hour classes that was more like an independent study type of thing. Just before reaching the corner of 17th and University, a girl named Alayne Mundtz walked up to me. Her first words were, "Are you in a band?" I was so surprised that such a beautiful although shortish Jewish girl would walk up to a stranger on the street that i lied, "Yes. Yes i am." By 9:30 that night, I was nose deep in Alayne. She broke up with me about three weeks later (when she finally realized that i didn't actually know how to play guiter), but that was okay because i was getting pretty sick of her anyway. Two nights later, i brought the guitar to Max's on 13th. That's where Jennifer D'Amico bought me four pints of Jubelale before taking me home. She thought she was an "artist" and had all of these paintings of butterflies all over her bedroom. I didn't care, though, because she was a box-shaver and that was the first time I'd ever gone down on a hoo-ha sans hair. She kicked me out of her apartment about a month later when she found out i wasn't in a band, but--again--i was fine with that because i think i was allergic to her fabric softener.
That was pretty much how the rest of my college career went. I got a BA in English Lit because i was happy to coast by on a 2.49 GPA, and about 30 notches on my headboard because of the guitar.
I moved to Portland after graduation, and the guitar-luck, of course, came with me. I've sprayed in all sorts of Portland girls thanks to this guitar: Indies, goths, trustafarians, hipsters, even a lesbian once from that time i lugged it up to the Egyptian Club on Division. This instrument has been vital in both my sexual development and approximately seven abortions. I won't even tell you about the time when i brought the guitar to the Planned Parenthood up in Northeast by the Wild Oats. All I can say is that Planned Parenthoods are a ripe garden of fertile baby caves. Best. Blowjob. Ever.
You may be wondering why i'm willing to part with this guitar, this chick magnet, this slit supplier. Fair question. I present my answer to you in two parts: Firstly, i think it's morally apprehensible to walk around town with a guitar case if the only reason you're doing it is to moisten panties, especially if you've never even bothered to learn how to play. Secondly, and more importantly, I've finally met a girl without the help of the guitar. On one of the rare occassions that i forgot to bring out the chick magnet, i met a saucy little redhead at Paradox, and the carpets match the drapes if you know what i mean. We're engaged to be married.
I can pretty much guarantee that you'll be swimming in muffpuddles by the end of the week if you buy this guitar, but i really don't want to tell the fiancee about this so please don't hesitate to take it off my hands.
The price is firm.

LOL classic self-deprecation there. that would be a good thread. you should do it.

anyway: Candyman the character is the classic 'Other,' the object of Helen's (Virginia Madsen) sexual fantasies...his monster senses her weaknesses, then assumes/consumes Helen to the point that she becomes Candyman. Her salvation comes only when she essentially dies in order to rid Candyman from her psyche; additionally, her 'sacrifice' is representative of an attempt to heal the schisms of racism and racial herding-- the baby that she saves is a 'new son.'

Finally, the film deals with issues of miscengenation as well as race/class tourism's destructive effects on communities.

I believe the last part-- the first part is more the political gobbledygook explanation of a slasher film.

Actor needed for emotional role – One day high pay
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2009-04-17, 12:52PM EDT

My deceased aunt gave my two kids a Cocker Spaniel a few months back. The dog has been a terror and become overwhelming for me. I am a single father raising two young children. I cannot face telling the kids that the dog must go. I have found a good home for the dog, and just need someone to transport the dog, and play the villain.

Premise: You will be the dog walker hired by daddy (me) to walk Skittles. I will introduce you to the kids, and you will tell them you are going to help Skittles get her exercise when Daddy is too busy to walk her. At that point you will walk Skittles to your car and take her to her new family 20 minutes from my place. Then return holding just a leash. The story will be that Skittles broke free of the leash and took off. At this point prepare for crying, things being thrown at you, and possibly cursing. My kids are young and dramatic, their girls.

Pay will be $500. The job will take roughly 2 hours at best.

This job is ideal for an actor looking to diversify their role base, or someone who genuinely likes to make children cry. Acting experience is a plus, but not necessary. Please inform me of any prior experience in this kind of situation.

My son is turning 16 and really wanted Lil Wayne to perform for his birthday gala. Unfortunately his schedule will not permit him to make it. I need a Lil Wayne impersonator desperately.

Here is the kicker my son is blind so you do not need to look like the rapper just sound like him. I understand he grunts and mumbles a lot. I don’t care if you are 67 and Jewish if you can sing the songs you’re hired. Money is not an issue. Name your price. Interested individuals please let me know your rap experience, video of you performing as Lil Wayne would be better. If that is not feasible we can arrange for a live audition.

Who wants to work parties with me next March and April and this summer maybe too????

No experience necessary. I'm starting a new company. I have worked for the biggest entertainer in the business for over 10 years as his assistant.

I'm so good at what I have done in the past with my old company that I will start my own shit and make bank!!!!
My boss say I can't not do this, but I dont care.

Share the wealth. Jewish people have lots of money to spend on these parties.

I need dancers & people who know what do at events like if you have bartendering, or DJing, and party hyping experience or whatever.

I don't have a website cuz I dont need one, I'm that good.

so you'll have to call me for an audtion or unless you have videos of yourself dancing. Send sexy pictures only via email. Videos are a plus.

I am willing to pay more than any other DJ company out there cuz these fools dont know there are doing!!!

I dont have an office yet but hopefully I will someday and soon as I start booking more parties. : )

So email me and I will hit you back on my cell!

Also if there is anyone that needs a good party, please please please call me. I'm just getting started on my own, but I have tons of experience and can do a great job. I will only charge $50 per hour for now to make some quick money so I can get things rolling.

Yesterday my gf sold a analog-to-digital converter box on Craigslist for $20. In asking for directions, the buyer asked if she would be "alone" or not when he arrived. Later that night, after the creepy old guy comes and goes, he calls to notify her that the converter box works great, and asks if she has any more items for sale.

Hilarious!

no offense to your gf but i'd think a craigslist dude asking, "will you be alone?" should result in an instant "the deal is off"

omar little, Sunday, 2 August 2009 19:03 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah, I didn't find out about that until after the deal was made and the guy had already came over. Then I suggested the same thing that you just did and came across as a wifebeating control freak.

From the Los Angeles "Artists" section today:

Unique Oil Paintings

My name is Johnny and I am an artist that specializes in oil paintings. I have been unable to sell most of my paintings and I am now running out of room to store all of my canvases. The paintings I have to offer are on 24x36 canvases and are all very unique and provocative, pushing the limits of what is accepted in society. I am giving away 6 very different and unique works in hopes that others will see my work outside of my apartment. The works I have to offer are as follows:

1) Oil Painting of a nude retarded child being pecked in the head by an ostrich
2) Oil Painting of a nun with a strap-on, skull fucking a jack-o-lantern
3) Oil Painting of President Bush getting ass fucked by a Donkey
4) Oil Painting of a Taco with human features with a huge erection, getting a blowjob from a group of illegal immigrants
5) Oil painting of a midget getting hit in the face with a pie, standing in a sewer.
6) Oil Painting of a Chinese man with a duck in his ass, smoking an opium pipe.

All of my paintings have very deep meanings to me and are all special. If you are interested please call and let me know specifically which painting you are interested in. I will only call back if I still have the one you want. This is of course, first come first serve. 310-736-1035.
Thanks Guys!
Johnny

Skilled operator seeking friend and PARTNER IN CRIME! - m4w - 23 (Around, you know.)
Date: 2009-09-26, 6:28PM PDT
Reply To This Post

Hello ladies & gents! I'm seeking a friend and partner in crime.

Here are some of my personal strengths and qualities:

• I'm good with animals, such as vicious dogs.
• Good with fabricating and using specialty mechanical things and tools.
• Great with maps and planning. Due to my part time day job, I have access to fantastic aerial imagery.
• Lockpicking. Pins, discs, wards, tubular, mushroom spools... all are piece of cake.
• Familiar with optics and high places, sometimes put the two together to determine when people aren't home.
• Physically small but rather strong. Underestimated!
• Great with weather. Willing to wait in the rainy woods for long time if necessary for whatever reason.
• Good "sense".

So as you can imagine the moonlighting is what truly pays the bills. But I have many weaknesses! The biggest one is that I have no skill with electronics. New alarms systems are for me just as bad as old ones, I understand neither. So if you're good with such we could make an excellent team! We should also get a nice police scanner thing going.

Another weakness is transportation... I don't have a car! A quick getaway isn't exactly feasible with a bicycle, so yeah if you have a car that's great. I combat these and other shortcomings with extreme care and timidity, but I feel like I'm asking for it and at the same time I think I can do better. I mean, we can do better.

Besides partner, I could use a new friend too. Hopefully in my age range. Oh, and I know it might be asking for too much but seriously: no drugs or smoking. At all. Not even a little. I should emphasize that except for the actual burglary, I never commit crime and we won't get along if you aren't of the same mentality. I'm into cooking, outdoor activities, some kinds of art, and explosions.

Since the whole not using drugs thing might be a bit much to ask, if you're clean but inexperienced or underequipped feel free to hit me up anyway. We'll figure something out. No car? No problem! One loaded bike might be suspicious, but two? We're just a pair of pals out on a bike ride.

Can't say why, but here's a picture of a fish. Equinox was just a few days ago, the sun sets so early now! The season is almost here and I can't wait to hear from you!

Porn laptop

Date: 2009-07-19, 7:10PM PDT

I have an older laptop, about 8 years old, it's a blue toshiba. It has a few missing keys and a few scratches, and only about 40 gigs of free space. I got a newer laptop though and I don't need this one. I call it a porn laptop because I'm pretty sure it has a few viruses and stuff, but I still use it for porn. It runs internet pretty fast and I already have about 200 favorites of porn sites saved in my favorites for firefox. It works for porn perfectly, but not big or fast enough for music/video editing or any of that. I wouldn't type any credit card info with it though, like I said it has some viruses and spyware so it's not worth the risk. Great for porn though.

So if you just want an extra laptop to sneak in your office that is dedicated just for porn, I got your back.

Give me an email, price is negotiable

We randomly shared a cab back to the Richmond from Polk St. You invited me in to play ping pong, which we did, then you went down on me for an hour or so while I dirty talked to you. I told you I was going to the bathroom but then I saw my pants and I saw the front door and just left instead. Sorry, I really should have told you I was leaving. It was all pretty hot, don't think I'd be up for it again but it was certainly fun! Thanks and sorry I didn't say goodbye! Also, sorry I started running when you called my name when I was half way down the block and you realized I was gone.

I posted an ad to sell this old drum machine I don't use anymore. In the subject line, I put the word "vintage" in parentheses. This is the response I got:

Look jagoff, the f'cking word VINTAGE is not for a digital drum machine made 2 decades ago - learn what the F'CK the word really means and change your ad to reflect the correct terms.

Why the f'ck the liberal f'cking schools have mis-taught f'cking idiots like you to take whatever f'cking term people decide is the new word to use and wrongly apply it to something like this is a f'cking wonder.

So, get your f'cking terminology right - vintage would be for a REALLY old, like 50's or 40's guitar, or even a 60's keyboard, but NOT a f'cking late 80's drum machine IDIOT.

And, additionally, Alesis doesn't have one f'cking thing that could be considered VINTAGE yet idiot!

I recently posted a bunch of records on craigslist, under the ad title "techno and house records"; the description also said "techno and house records", (and never was there a single thing written that would suggest otherwise), and I listed every record, with artist, title and label. I got someone ready to take them all, then (after asking me to meet him deep in the suburbs) he writes to me "and also i just want to make sure that there in good condish and there all like rnb hiphop elictro and all that ?"
It turned out he was in grade 9 and did a lot of high school parties.
I ended up selling them to another dude (aged 18, actually - it's good to see young people in the vinyl exchange, actually).

Still, that's no lecture of the semantics of vintage (frankly, he's right, it's all the liberal school's fault).

Hey Cat Power,

I tried writing your record company to see about sending along a note of thanks for your incredible music. Never heard back. It's a wacky, wacky world and I totally understand and respect any reluctance to accept fan mail. So I'll just tell you here and now. I was a fan the minute I picked up "What Would the Community Think" way back when. I drifted a bit after that--life (a marriage, a kid, a cheating spouse and a divorce) got in the way, and your music was suddenly too intense for me. Ten years later and in a much better spot I tried out "The Greatest" and was... well, to put it mildly: I was astounded. That music really spoke to me. Every damn one of those songs. The album was in constant rotation wherever I was--driving, work, home--for at least six months, nearly to the exclusion of everything else. I've never listened to another album as much. Then, naturally, time passed and I put it away. More time passed, Jukebox came out, and I dug it immensely as well (Song to Bobby is such a beautiful piece). I've been on a Tom Waits/Townes Van Sandt/alt. country binge for a year now, but earlier this week I put "The Greatest" on the PA at work while I mopped up the floor (I work at a beautiful historic theatre in NW Washington) and I was, um, floored again.

So I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for all that you have struggled through and all the effort--physical and emotional--that you put into bringing your music to my life, to all of our lives. I hope this note finds you in good spirits and in good health.

A friend in the Northwest. Just for the asking.

Reply to: job-pxzp6-1610613✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧ [Errors when replying to ads?]

I am looking for someone who could help me edit and then market and publish, if possible. It has taken me 8 yrs to write this book. It is 512 pages, formatted . It is nonfiction, and it is about my own lifetime experience as a meth addict of 24 years. I have researched the history of the drug, when it was first made, why, and by whom, and what its intended use was. I illustrate what it is to be high on meth. What kind of thoughts go through a user’s head, how one is easily sidetracked and distracted from their goals, dreams, and every day focus. The narrative is myself speaking to the reader, telling them my story. Using my narrative, I convey my own thought processes in their exact (sic) spelling. I have also attempted to self-analyze my psychological reasons for letting something so awful take over my life. I give a lot of explicit details on incidences in my childhood which I feel directly contributed to my all-consuming addiction. I once I.Q.’d a test and scored 135. I was tested as a gifted child already in the 2nd grade, and drug addiction happened to me. It can happen easily to anyone. The book has wild, wild things I have done while I was high on speed, and delving below the surface layers why the speed only enhanced the reasons behind those wild actions. The speed sent me off on hundreds of thousands of thrill seeking stupidity issues, and I take the reader there with me. I am a single mother, and this book has been complete for a year now. It just needs editing. In that last year I have been able to contribute 5 hours to editing. I need help! Only 4 people have read portions of this book to date, and all have given me extremely positive feedback. One of these people co-owns Marshall Media Management, and offered her critique of my book as a favor to my brother. She suggested where I might want to add details, etc. At the end, she chose a sound trac for the movie opening, which she simply concluded was inevitable. No way! A movie?! Hmmm. Another reader was my daughter’s 6th grade schoolteacher, who is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley. When he finished, he just turned, looked me in my eyes, and quietly said, “I’m honored”.…after only 10 pages! Audiences it would, appeal to are: Anyone interested in the psychology of someone who has a meth problem; cops, behaviorist studyists (sp?), anyone interested in a glamour-type story, family members with a loved one who is addicted, and would like to know more details, want to help, want to understand, anyone who might just be starting out using the stuff, and are curious on what could happen to them. Other drug addicts, just for reading entertainment and some positive input to make them more committed to quitting, and how easy quitting can be. Inspirational psychology, spiritual, hope, love, anyone who wants to explore an inherently good person’s experiences with the drug world subculture from a distance, which distance is recommended.

ROLLING STONE LA

Nothing in the world brings people together like music. And there's no greater music magazine in the world than Rolling Stone.

Bringing the best of the iconic magazine to life, Rolling Stone LA will open at Los Angeles’s popular Hollywood and Highland Center in the summer of 2010. Ideally situated among some of the country’s most famous and historic attractions, including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grauman’s Chinese Theater and the Kodak Theatre, the multi-level Rolling Stone LA venue will encompass more than 10,000-square feet and serve as an exciting blend of equal parts restaurant, bar, lounge and upscale private-event space.

The spectacular interior space will feature black brick, tufted leather and vaulted ceilings throughout. The restaurant will feature both indoor and outdoor seating perfect for lunch, watching a game or even grabbing a late-night meal. The bar and lounge will be the ideal location for a night out in Hollywood with music from some of LA’s hottest DJs, a dance floor, impeccable service and multiple areas for private parties.

Rolling Stone LA will reflect the progressive timelessness for which Rolling Stone is known, and will soon be one of the city’s premier dining and entertainment destinations.

This was a project my grandfather worked on when I was a kid, and it used to terrify me, as I have an inexplicable fear of these evil creatures. I am hoping to sell it by the end of the month, as I owe child support and don’t have the cash to cover it at the moment. This was built off of the frame of an otherwise perfect 1986 Yugo Cabrio.

I was the guy in the green Ed Hardy tee that bought you a shot of Grey Goose. You had on a pair of low rise jeans and a blue halter top. You said you were graduating from UALR in the summer, and I told you that I had graduated from UAM a few years back and was getting into making amateur movies. We were supposed to go back to my place, but your friends grabbed you and made you leave with them. I never got a number, but if you remember this, tell your friends to go fuck off. If you look up cock blocker in the dictionary there's a picture of the fat friend you had that looked like Big Pun and the little Mini-You that wore the exact same colors as you. You were hot, but your friends looked like Abe Vigoda and Betty White and were very jealous that for the 154th straight night you were getting hit on and they were buying the guys drinks. You will never be happy around them, and neither will other men.

I want to give you a Super Baby - m4w - 40 (Decatur)

Date: 2010-05-30, 7:13PM EDT
Reply To This Post

Ladies, I have a serious question about your desires to have a child. What traits would you prefer you child to have? Are you aware that there is a chance that your child is going to be similar to the man that you have your child by. So with that said why you have a baby by a regular guy instead of having a baby by a “Superman”.
I am a DDF black male that would like to donate his sperm in helping you have the child of your dreams. Let me list my best traits:
1) Great memory runs in my family.
2) I am very smart.
3) Height runs in my family where I have several members over 6-5.
4) Great strength runs in the family. My daddy once picked up the front end of a car.
5) I love to read books.
6) I wanted to start school at age 3 and start college at age 10.
7) Good manners and behavior runs in my family.
8) Surprise people with my speed and quickness.
9) My grandmother had straight black hair and I have “good hair” when cut.
10) Men in my family are concerned handsome.

Why I am doing this? A few years back, I helped a woman have a baby and she has been thrilled with the child and said she has never seen a child like that. Her kid get up every morning at read books. Her kid has a great memory and in fact, she knows where every thing is located in Kroger and the child is only 2. The child wanted a doll she saw on TV and all I did was take her to the store and she picked the exact she saw on TV. She can carry on a conversion and recognized people even on the phone. She is very quick and fast. She is very powerful for a two year old. She has very thick and pretty hair. The child is smarter that most adults. Now ladies if it is your desire to have a baby that can grow up to do something in life, I am the guy for you.

False Accusation of Child Molestation-- need help (chicago)

Date: 2010-06-07, 7:35PM CDT
Reply to: job-y9xha-1780561✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧ [Errors when replying to ads?]

I've been falsely accused of child molestation. There is no proof that it happened because it didn't. I'm accused with one other and they have dragged the Mormon church into this because of their deep pockets. I have nothing, so they are hoping the church will settle which they won't because we have substantial evidence that this person is and was mentally ill and is in this for the money. In addition, this was all investigated before in criminal court 10 years ago and it was dismissed. DCFS also investigated 10 years ago at the same time and declared that it was unfounded as well. The accuser recently turned 21 so she is taking advantage of being able to file a civil suit for money, as is her attorney, of course. I can't afford an attorney so any help would be useful. Since the church is involved, they have hired the best in the country, a local Chicago firm. I'm just a poor co defendant and I'm in way over my head.

This could be good case for a law student.

let me know if you have any ideas.

thanks.

LADERA RANCH – A man on Staveley Court called police at about 4 a.m. Monday after a woman he found on Craigslist took money from him without "providing proper services and he feels this is improper," according to police logs.

The man had contacted a girl from a Craigslist ad with a picture and a phone number. She was to perform a "sexy dance" for $200, money paid up-front, according to the log.

The girl that arrived was older than the girl in the picture, "causing the informant to reconsider," the log states. When he told the girl to keep $20 for gas and give him back the rest of his money, the girl refused and left with the entire $200.

The man – whose mother was there and was "angry about it as well" – decided not to file a report.
Police said no one was arrested because there is no law against a "sexy dance." Deputies did not make contact with the woman from the ad, and it appears she kept the money, police said.

There are a lot of Tibetan nannies here in the Bay Area, probably second only to latinas in number (and level of desperation/work ethic). It can be very hard for Tibetans with limited language skills to find other employment because there really aren't that many Tibetan-run businesses.

"social cues" means that ladies always drink free?

I can see where "Are you going to buy me a drink?" could be flirting, but it's kind of classless in that after that amount of time it was pretty obvious that he wasn't, and she could have either ordered her own drink, or moved on. That "have fun with the fatty" shit was just rude, though.

He's trying way too hard to make a point, but you have to admit, max, that a number of women (and men) buy into this social norm that girls are supposed to get bought drinks by men as some sort of social convention. imo this dude is being a dick, but she's leaning on what's less of a chivalrous custom and more of a continuation of inequality to get drinks

this doesn't bother me. he got her involved, had a conversation, brought her into his world, and although she wasn't necessarily his type, his social world contained a dude she clicked with. no problems there. it isn't condescending, it's exhibiting decency towards a fellow human who's also not quite at home in this sort of social situation

Guy who in one bulletpoint goes on about how he expects a return on his investment of buying a girl a drink in the form of phone numbers and dates then in the next goes on about girls who are slags because they "view sex as a transaction" for wanting to be bought drinks = supreme form of self delusion or hypocrisy or I don't know what.

And yeah, that whole "give me points for being nice to a fatty" spiel at the end just left me with such a revolting taste in my mouth.

And see, Louis, stuff like this is why women are kind suspicious of men who go on about how "feminist" they are, while still giving this kind of hypocrisy the thumbs up.

I'm used to the type. The guys who go on at great length about how "feminist" they are and then actually get angry at you for failing to appreciate their gallant chivalrous gestures of "feminism" while still showing that they don't actually understand what the concept entails on any more than the crudest level.

It doesn't mean I think you're misogynist, Louis. It just means that it is, perhaps, harder for men to *get* what it means in praxis as well as theory.

The Wicked Deadache (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 16:06 (thirteen years ago) link

I appreciate acoleuthic's sympathetic read on the dude, but I think if he had a friend who liked the girl he should have brought the friend over and introduced him. "Can I buy you a drink?" is implicitly "I'm flirting with you" and if the truth is "I'm buying you a drink to make a point to a third party," which is pretty clearly what was going on, I think that's low. I mean, I'm happy that it all ended well with his open-minded friend and lonely high-BMI girl getting it on while dude listens in, furiously pounding out a Craigslist essay, &c.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 16:08 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm also grimacing every time I type "the fatty" but I feel I have to, because the guy framed it that way and that adds to the inherent ridiculousness

turtles all the way down (mh), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link

TBH, the 2000 word essay on Craigslist smells a bit too much like "methinks the lady protests too much" for me.

Like, what probably actually happened was, the girl unsubtly asked him for a drink as a way of flirting, he totally choked and flubbed the attempted pickup because he was so flabbergasted that a girl was that forward with him, and spent the rest of the night hammering out this essay about why the imagined orgasms he could have had with her would have been so shit in a sour grapes kinda way, while his mate had loud sex next door.

Because, in my experience, guys don't generally write bitter philosophical 2000 word essays about the girls that *they* turned down, if you know what I mean?

The Wicked Deadache (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 16:12 (thirteen years ago) link

I like that the larger girl is framed as lonely and as a more friendly person. She can't be a drink-demanding chick, you see, because she's flawed. I want to see the follow-up post where he finds out she stole their wallets and gave his housemate VD.

I kinda gritted my teeth a little better than lj through a lot of fairly similar (if a little rougher? i dunno) treatment in a thread about whether there's now balance btwn the sexes (you should still find on site new answers). Really I just thought a lazy guardian article was a lazy guardian article, not symptomatic of a daily struggle- ppl disagreed.

But, honest and freely given disclaimer, I'm self-acknowledgely clueless in this arena and I was probably bearing the brunt of people being frustrated with my denseness for 95% of it so no harm no foul imo. I can see maybe why LJ takes it a little harder when honest effort on his part is viewed so cynically- I'm sure he's not claiming to be the #1 expert around on it either.

I wasn't getting angry at you for failing to understand any 'gesture of feminism' (this wasn't a gesture of feminism, this was a show of solidarity with a guy who's rightly cynical of bar culture), I was angry because you typed this

stuff like this is why women are kind suspicious of men who go on about how "feminist" they are, while still giving this kind of hypocrisy the thumbs up.

which refers explicitly to my posting on other threads and thus comes across as an ad hominem. yeah, admittedly it pushed my buttons of insecurity, but I don't see how agreeing with this guy shows a betrayal towards 'in praxis' feminism? surely we're still in the realm of theory anyway

the 'making a point to a third party' thing is perhaps an issue, but without that third party she would possibly not have had such a great evening? sometimes even a broad-minded person, especially a young one, needs a jolt of realisation that all humanity is of worth, regardless of appearance. I think if ANY lonely-looking person, regardless of size, shape etc, had been standing there, he'd have had that jolt and acted impulsively.

also I don't think he flubbed the pickup line, it would have been easier to buy her a drink and keep chatting IMO - it's what I'd have probably done!

and yeah she's framed as lonely and lacking in confidence because she was clearly being ignored by her friends.

this is all a minefield but I trust this dude's judgement

Yeah, about half a dozen signifiers in the dude's last few paragraphs tipped me off to the fact that this was not a dude whose judgement you should be aligning with, if you consider yourself big-f Feminist.

I mean, we got fat-shaming, we got weird smears on the "attractive" girl's sexual performance based on her looks, we got this strange transactional base to his pickup attempts, we got this double standard as to who is allowed to have transactional bases to their pickup attempts... you want to talk minefield?

The Wicked Deadache (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link

I know, my bad. I shouldn't be so down on someone who is actually *trying*.

The Wicked Deadache (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 16:27 (thirteen years ago) link

I think in my haste to agree with him I've given his treatment of the girl he got his mate with the benefit of quite some doubt - it's not to say I'd have acted similarly or expressed the turn of events in that sort of manner myself (because I almost certainly wouldn't - I'm really pretty sensitive to that sort of thing).

The smears on the 'attractive' (we're allowed subjective attractiveness, are we not?) girl's potential sexual performance IS projection, as he concedes, but it is in the spirit of the rant. Again, not sure I'd have made such a sweeping generalisation - clearly the dude hasn't made enough of a connection before shagging.

As for the transactional stuff, he said himself that if he bought a drink for a girl of his own accord he'd expect nothing, but if a girl asked him to buy a drink, this would signal interest, which provided a good chat would signal the means to meet up again (and not necessarily go any further) - this sounds fair enough, even if, as I say, bar culture doesn't sound his thing.

Louis, maybe you should stop talking and go and read Jezebel and the Feministing communities for a few weeks. And I mean *read* - not talk, not post, not try to tell people what their experiences are and what they mean. Just read, and *listen*. Stop trying to shape or own the argument. Accept the fact that Feminism is never going to be something in which you are the expert. That part of the idea of feminism means that you have to occasionally shut up and listen to what women have to say instead of rushing into arguments like you know it all already?

That is actually a serious suggestion. Especially the listening/reading and not posting part.

hobbes, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 00:12 (thirteen years ago) link

it's not so much a warning as a vent, a publicised diary entry, but yeah point taken he's overstepped - the 'open-minded friend' bit in retrospect was wrong, and he's taking it way too seriously - I admire a good piece of rampant overthinking but yeah

I wrote this earlier

As the guy makes abundantly clear, the girl's RESPONSE to his refusal, coupled with his prior observations of her burning someone off, is what sets in his mind the desire to show up HER shallowness. It's a noble intention. He never claims to have had the last laugh - indeed he says he merely HOPES he had an effect on that girl.

Sure, the bit with the 'chubby' girl is problematic, because it can't NOT be seen as condescending in some way, but is it any more condescending than the phrase "there's someone for everyone"? A phrase I, she and most people with the occasional confidence issue have heard on NUMEROUS occasions? If she'd been happy to NOT have a drink bought for her, she'd have refused, and our man would have looked a bit silly, and wouldn't have written that anecdote. He took the risk that she'd not trust his motives. As it turned out, she was out to have fun and he'd correctly guessed her friends were leaving her alone. I *know* there's a minefield of etiquette as to engaging with someone BECAUSE they look left-out, but I seriously think he did it with noble intentions, and is describing her as 'chubby' because her self-knowledge of being chubby had already defined her insecurity and hesitancy to speak to anyone (not to mention how others might be treating her). It's a fair detail to note, even if he does it insensitively.

Probably the most insensitive detail is how it took an 'open-minded' friend to sleep with that girl. I'll concede that that is off.

Yeah, he wrote it to Craigslist. Yeah, he's an aspie douche for doing so. I kinda admire that.

but even in writing that I turn into the same sort of overanalytical scrawling look-I-have-had-these-thoughts dick he is :D

horseshoe he completely goes on to explain himself and backtrack over that 10% thing in like the next sentence!

if i may interject, i would imagine the basic parameters of the story might be true on some basic level but:

a) the girl would actually be that upset* and at some point in the story she morphed from this friendly, funny, smart hipster girl art school student into a girl who tosses around "fatty" and dances with ed hardy frat bros

b) *the caveat being that maybe she would get that upset if the dude overreacted to her request in a manner that isn't fully revealed in this story

c) the overweight girl conveniently shows up in the story like the "magical negro", not existing to prove herself but to prove our hero's worth, even though it must be made clear that she is still on a lesser level than the hero

d) some of the adjectives our hero tosses around are not written from the perspective of a guy who is actually chivalrous

e) an actual chivalrous dude shrugs shit like this off and maybe has a quick laugh about it, but moves on and certainly doesn't write an essay

f) he is definitely protesting too much

Someone has pointed out, fwiw, that "No, why don't YOU buy ME a drink" would have been the ideal response, and I am inclined to agree

yeah, my thought was that if you're basically accepting some forms of nightclub social standards but you have serious objections to the notion of the man buying the drink (or you're poor, or whatever) then the way to go would be some lolwhaddeverhappenedtoequality quip. Pretty sure that if this dude had acted in any kind of reasonable way (reading it I imagined a pause, a smile drooping into straight-lipped steeliness, a short sharp 'no') he wouldn't have had such a reaction.

omar is very OTM there tbh - I was struck by how 'wrong' the impulse to write an essay was - as I say kinda heroic in its 'I wouldn't do this but fair play O Batman' vibe

it's perfectly possible for people to be both funny smart and cultured arts students and also petulant twats within almost the same breath - hell, I managed it for 3 years as an undergrad

the "magical negro" thing is troubling - I'd have liked her to have been presented as more someone who engaged our hero than someone who was there

he's not actually chivalrous but I dig his thoughts and his youth and his desire to change things

g) this guy must project something "off" IRL in this type of scene, i'm guessing, especially if he goes this (subtly) batshit over a drink, and he doesn't know how to relate to women b/c there are a million ways to play that w/o turning into Mr Pink. and if he was into the girl, as he implies, he wouldn't risk it by drawing such a line in the sand.

I'm reminded by this (actually I think I said it in our other feminism debate, but fuck it I only have about five stories) of being appalled by my right-on forward-thinking male friends casually talk about their 'two minute rule', by which if you go past two minutes of chatting to a girl in a club without her making it clear that you're getting sex tonight, you are free to walk off.

Well, I'm not really welcome in "not boys allowed in the room" so you know, feminism is a broad church and takes all kinds.

My main advice was that Louis should stop trying to tell other people what feminism is, and maybe shut up and listen to some women for a change.

Jezebel I find sometimes a bit consumerist, but hey, it's supposed to be a fashion/celeb magazine with a feminist slant. Feministing I actually like how completely right on it is, I find its stridency refreshing in a world where reflexively mocking 4chan attitude is just taken as given, and how it addresses more issues than just feminism - that it goes into wider social concerns of how anti-woman activities often align with a whole host of other prejudices. Me, I don't object to trigger warnings, in fact, as someone who has been sexually assaulted, I find them really helpful. It has been my experience that people who go all "Trigger warnings, WTF?!?!?" can tend to be kind of unpleasant people on the entitlement scale. But YMMV.

The point is not that "Feministing or Jezebel are the be all and end all of feminist thought" - they aren't. But they certainly provide a voice that is lacking if all you read is DiS. And also go to promote the idea that if you think of yourself as a "feminist man" or an ally or whatever, you should be listening at least as much as you are speaking.

But I mean, w/o getting trapped in some authenticity thing, those are immediate and relevant things for me, and its not exactly easy to prescribe what the right paths are for other people though i can appreciate that marxist-feminist readings of van gogh drawings aren't going to be what engages everybody.

Eggs, Peaches, Hot Dogs, Lamb (remy bean), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 11:31 (thirteen years ago) link

i mean they're okay in that they'll keep certain stories and topics on your radar, but they're in a certain form which is just connects issues to pop culture (like angelina jolie's baby and gender policing) but if you are interested you're still going to have to do the work and dig a lot deeper than what they're gonna give you.

plax (ico), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 11:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Plax, I think your two-pronged approach is a very good one. That's it's important both to know the high end theory of it (the kind of stuff you'll find in the public library's Feminism section) but ALSO the day to day workings of it. And that a very important part of feminism, traditionally, has been the consciousness-raising and experience-sharing part of it. And that is something that you have to go to individual women, sharing their experiences, to get. And that the blogosphere has very much taken over from middle class dinner parties as the place where that consciousness-raising activity goes on, because it's more inclusive and you do get the voices that were traditionally excluded even from nice 70s style middle class feminism. (Queer/LGBT voices, women of colour - I like the push and pull of discourse back and forth between say, feministing and racalicious when they talk about the same things from different angles, and don't always agree. That's opened my mind a lot. But a lot of that comes from the community section and the comments sections, that stuff gets cross posted and cross polinated.)

That feminism is a praxis as well as a set of theories, that you can't just read a bunch of dusty tomes in a library and get an idea of what it's about.

major xps to kate

it depends i mean, i have very definite feminist issues that i care a lot about that i'm doing my best to learn about. the main one is abortion, because abortion rights in Ireland are insane and how that intersects w/ class issues (privileged access to abortion is in my opinion the major reason abortion laws are how they are in this country) and because technology and the body and your rights over your own body intersect w/ trans/intersex issues. And i mean, this is really what I'm trying to educate myself on atm (and ilx has been really good because it has introduced me to a few takes on abortion issues that wouldnt really come up on my radar and that has been v. enlightening).

I think the status of abortion in Ireland means that there is a real urgency around these issues for me but it also means that its really easy to get into trouble (like an argument i really didnt want to get into w/ this surprisingly "pro-life" girl who basically said i had no right to have an opinion about abortion at all and keep my hands off her unborn child or w/e) But I've definitely said some really stupid things in the past trying to defend my position, but I definitely dont regret it because it has helped me learn and grow, and while I DEFINITELY take yr point kate that a little more listening than talking is always required, sometimes you just have to try and say what you feel, especially if you think nobody else will say it instead.

cannot believe any straight single guy anywhere would refuse to buy a cute girl a drink if he's been having decent conversation with her for 20 minutes. unless he's on some fucked up Mystery shit or something

When I was younger (like late teens), I used to rail about how the guy-treats-the-girl dynamic was antiquated and unfair, especially since I was never in a position where I made substantially more money than whoever I was with. (And I still don't! My girlfriend makes like 30% more than I do!) But after a while, I realized that paying for someone's drink or movie ticket doesn't have to be an element in some unpleasant transactional game that codifies social roles and comes with all sorts of other burdens and expectations -- instead, it can just be a Nice and Generous Thing to Do.

jaymc, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link

tbh i tend to 'splash out' on the likes of movie tickets/meals/whatever which just leaves my GF paying for the bin charges at the end of the quarter so chivalry isn't really in it

This would pretty much be my take on this as well. In the situation described by the moany individual, I'd have just bought the girl a drink, I mean big deal, a drink's cheap even in a wanky club, and if you want to look at it as a transactional type thing, the enjoyment one would get from talking in a flirty manner w/an attractive person is probably worth the cost anyway. LOL, I'm old, etc.

Not a craiglist post, but I was reminded of this thread when I read this bunch of comments: http://www.avclub.com/articles/double-datemom,43681/ -- my jaw dropped in shock while reading. Here's a quote:

I didn't just "meet them". Nessa Devil let me pretend to have doggy style sex with her and even ground her ass into me and when I told my friends at the convention this figuring it was no big deal they were SHOCKED because she was very standoffish with most guys there and didn't want to talk to anyone, she must have found my self confidence, sense of humor, and MATURITY refreshing compared to the other guys who admittedly fit your mocking caricature of a typical adult expo visitor. We''re all there because we respect women and are fascinated with there erotic qualities, very few of us are misogynists who have idiotic views of women as submissive sex objects who only exist to fulfill banal fantasies.

Mordy, Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link

love this:

I really hit it off with Chastity lynn and she agreed to have sex with me in her hotel room for only 400 dollars! That is practically giving it away, especially compared to what some creepy old guy would have paid her and she kissed me on the mouth the whole time without me asking and she had two orgasms and we talked the whole night. Most porn stars contrary to popular belief do not have sex for money off camera, and to get someone as amazing and impossibly beautiful as Chastity FREAKING Lynn to have sex with me means that I have qualities and charm that make women feel at ease. And YES I have had sex with women in real relationships that are beautiful who don't do porn but I am dedicated to my work and am not currently capable of the give and take and compromise that make up most real relationships. I also love making women who do porn feel special and intelligent, since most of them just want love and not to be looked at like a "whore" which is obviously your dismissive view of them.

To the psycho women I know... - m4w (California)

To the pudgy blond chick I ran into in a west l.a. bar one night...

I don't let women with Monica Belucci's sex appeal bum drinks off me. Let alone you, who while looking at me with a smug expression, uttered "where's my drink." Not only did that make me laugh, it made me ridiculed you on facebook. You may have blocked me, but everyone knows now.

To the chick from up north...

Don't know you too well. You're cute and could have been a good match for me. But your friend is an f*cking psychopath. Be more selective of your friends, bud.

To the self-righteous girl from wilshire highrise...

We may be the same race and religion, but my God, you're the f*cking devil incarnate. Not only are you predictable, but you opened yourself up to pain while giving me just cause to hurt you. No matter, everyone now knows that you're a slut. And thanks for the souvenir you gave me that night by the beach, it helped me seal a deal with someone else.

To insecure mother slanderer...

You came and you went. You're probably the craziest one I've met, second only to the devil incarnate referenced above. The simple thought of me hanging around another girl made you fill with rage. Yet when you play games, then slander someone's ill mom, you're asking for a world of pain. And karma gave it to you hard. Chaching!

To middle-eastern chick from San Diego...

You screwed around with me, and a marine at the same time. Little did you know that I knew him from the service. We talked, laughed, and exchanged stories about you. And you never knew. Now chances are, he probably fucked you over already. I'd know, one of your friends still tells me things. And I know about your new guy... surprise, I know him too. I'll wait to hear when he's f*cked you over, then life won't be GOOD ;-)

To the other middle-eastern chick from San Diego...

You're thin, have a cute smile, and a personality to take down a black bouncer. You were probably the most straight forward chick I've hooked up with. Kudos.

And last but not least...

To the gold digging filippina chick from west los angeles...

You f*cked my buddy while cheating on your European boyfriend, and now everyone knows you're a slut. You should know my people better than that. And even after our adventures, you asked if it was ok to leech off the European guy, because it's not like you're "leeching off a poor person." Well, good luck bud. I'll be laughing when troubles comes your way. You can run, but you can't hide from karma ;-).

Lastly, crazy no drink buying guy story is fatally flawed from the opening cast credits:
You: Cute girl at the bar
Me: The guy you chatted with while waiting for our drinks

why would she ask him to buy her a drink when she already had one coming. Also, makes me think all of this drama unfolded in his head over the period of time it takes a bartender to make two drinks.

Ok, so I'm a young minded and looking 42 year old song writer/singer/guitarist who wants to build a band surrounding my own material. Maybe a few covers here and there, for fun, but mainly focused on originals. I have written quite a few songs...some never quite finished, others are...some just need finishing touches, etc. I want to try something different. I'd like to keep it simple...let you listen to what I've written, decide if you like it, and maybe add a bass and possibly another guitarist later on. I'm highly experimental and have a bit of a sloppy style. I tend to play heavy metallic riffs and bluesy leads. I love eerie sounding progressions that kind of bite your soul. I'm a bit rusty, but I can and do rock. It would be cool if you sing, too! I'd absolutely love female backup and vice versa. If you play other instruments and write your own songs, that's an added plus! I'm open to helpful creativity, for sure.
I was watching the White Stripes on HBO and thought to myself, "That's kind of my style. Maybe I should find a female drummer and see what it adds to my sound?" If you can keep a beat and you can hear the talent in my original songs, then we'll go from there. You don't have to be any musical genius or anything. I used to have a non-pro three piece power blues/metal band together down south. It was just me, a rhythm guitarist, and a drummer. We never found a bassist, and they were never quite as serious about the music as I am. Our drummer definitely had different tastes in music. I had to leave due to legal problems just when we started getting pretty damn good. They basically kicked me out of the state! LOL I really miss jamming now. I fear I'll go insane if I don't start playing again. I need to channel this energy back into my music and I want to start with a new feeling and a bit of a female touch.
I'm not really looking for romance. I'm kind of fed up with love right now. The music is more important to me, although if we do happen to find a unique connection that would be interesting too. I've always thought it would be cool to share a musical passion with someone who is also my muse, so to speak. If you have a place to jam, that would make it a lot easier, since it's a PITA to move drums around all the time and my house is not always available for jamming. I'm currently staying with relatives. We may be able to jam here occasionally, but probably not extremely often. I am also looking for a roommate and my own place. Life is rather complicated right now, but I have a lot of free time. My life needs a change. Want to be part of it? If we get tight, we'd definitely be working toward gigs. I don't really want to stay in this cold place forever. Yeah, I know...it's not cold now, but if you blink, you might miss the nice weather! ; )

Ironic people keep on spamming, putting other's ad's on auto - sender's, not being on the real, this, that, hence what, humanity? guy's/men hiding behind computers as women, like wolves in sheep's clothing, etc. sigh . . .

Why's thing's like mere sincere friendship with the opposite sex, be it, female, seem like harder to attain, and be without contamination with a secret agenda, like sex, selfish - (?), (i.e.: friendship with benefit's), or, those of some men that get a great girl, but don't exhibit to know what they have, hurt the girl or cause themselves to lose her and/or what they may have had, be it, (thing's were great, misc., then the guy started screwing up). I mean, who doesn't already know that 'life is short', moment's (are suppose to be) worth cherishing, sigh . . . and even though God's Word says it's gonna get worse before it gets better, some people seem to go on clueless as to somehow self destroy; I mean, Arnold said in the movie, T2, (It's in your nature to destroy yourselves). Why do we as humanity prove that to be true? w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

It just seems that humanity for as long as I've been on this rock, humanity seems to keep justifying 'judgment day', as everything is recording where Father is, and still some people continue to smoke other's while other's are getting smoked, even careless, endless death's due to either someone driving too fast, further due to drinking and driving or otherwise, and still other's, back to my original thought, other's not knowing what they have, be it a great girl to hold, love and cherish, hurting her (physically, emotionally, or otherwise); sure, I've seen some women sitting on the curb, crying their eyes out from time to time in my life, but continued walking on by, it just being another one of my observation's of humanity during my time among humanity on this rock. w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

And because I'm among humanity, I'm no different than other people, I'm as human as the next person, but my observation's seem to plague me in sadness as well as self-dislike of being down here, thus, of course, yeah, sure, I'd love to be back, as a non-individual, inside and a part of Father, whom dispensed me forward, out of Himself, just like He's done with every other Soul. And sure, JC/Father doesn't give us more than we can handle, and knows us (individually) more than we know, but that feeling, that feeling inside of us, where ya just feel the overall, overwhelming feeling of sadness, like to see and hear what Father sees and hears but for a mere moment, we'd be so totally blown away, it'd leave us speechless, but I remember (for myself), to never question the Father ever, to accept, and to try and bring alittle peace and love to another , playing a (honest, truthful, sincere, etc.) part in another's life, (i.e.: a female friendship where both are free to be themselves, where the (right knowing moral's) or trust and respect are exhibited, because I was (One) of those whom had, but lost due to not knowing what I had, no shame, but being human, I chose to learn, grow and mature from. w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

Do I want a woman I can learn to love (again), to hold and cherish, not with marriage or children, but with just her and I thus, an experience where each are able to grow and learn from each other and grow together in love, peace and live our life in that, we are not depended on each other, that we depend on our self, but that our relationship, friendship, bond, of any kind, is (complementary), not anything else. I love WOMAN. I weep though for humanity in general as well as myself that Father created something beyond our imagination so beautiful, and we as a humanity seemed to, throughout the age's unto each other, have just mucked it all up, so no wonder love among our humanity may be over rated or abused, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Where is the love? - some popular song I've heard on the radio, as well as some other's I like. w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

The sign's are all around us (i.e.: in music lyrics, film, life), who's to say that we as humanity are so clueless that we have no idea how much Father may be using for the better of us those thing's that are so much around us, that we use to entertain us, communicate, etc. (i.e.: music, film, etc.) to open our eyes to not only each other, but as well as Him, and He who designed all life for us to enjoy, but we just go on (i.e.: next party, next drink, next sex mate, next (?) I'm not gonna judge other's but I can speak for myself, that, sure, maybe I have played it safe for year's by staying alone, regardless of how many extremely gorgeous women there are in Los Angeles alone, I can't bring myself to exhibiting like some of those of my gender that hurt and destroy so much of what Father utterly wanted us to enjoy and appreciate, but in essence, honor Him, by treating those thing's we all take for granted, with the due respect, etc, regardless of what or how some other person may treat us. w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

Call me 'old school', call me a fool, call me what ya will, but I will continue living, I will continue seeking a female whom I can share my heart with, and I will continue learning and growing to the best of my ability as much as Father allows. Sure, I may not read Father's Word nearly as much as I should, but Father knows my heart, and personally knows I just wanna be close to a woman that I can learn to love, respect, cherish, and support but without a woman taking my 'kindness for weakness', and abusing that which should be appreciated. I mean isn't there enough stupidity, psychoticism, and hating, to say the least among humanity? Geez . . . I am so freaking sure. To have some front it with 'It's like that', is just crap and so Lucifer - like nature? Sigh . . . Father wants us all to be happy, but not at the expense of some of humanity hurting, etc. others to attain that happiness, 'kno' what I'm saying'? I mean, on the real. But sure, some of humanity will read all this, and laugh, wanna smoke me, say this and/or that, but ya know what, I really don't freaking care anymore. w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

Father's giving me the gift of music via iTunes or elsewhere, and the beautiful sight, of my non - human baby, Lake Hollywood, and if I end up remaining alone 'til' the end of my day's, so be it. If love comes forth from a desirable female I, want to be with, then fine, that's cool too. Maybe that why I like, what I call the Faith (actress Eliza Dushku) Psychological and Personality Profile, or why my upbringing was alittle like that of the movie, The Outsiders, or even why I still today like the movie, Young Guns - the first film. Maybe I feel my search to inner happiness is in Cunnilingus (more about her than I), maybe it's in my music, maybe it's in the beauty of a woman's smile, eyes, laugh, I don't know; I'm down here just like everyone else, trying to live in peace and happiness. Well, guess I've bored humanity enough with my (?), wish everyone much love and happiness in your life. Ya know what I think I adore the most, it that love, hug, care, support, misc women share with each other; loving Angel's. Take care. w✧✧.jeffr✧✧✧@vidm0r✧✧✧.c✧✧

yesterday (wednesday) night around 10.45 pm you were driving a dark honda on Torrance blvd. I think you were from Alabama.

You were playing with a lollipop and the circles you were doing with your tongue, as well as the way your lips sucked on your lollipop were very, I mean VERY inspiring

you are a very cute young blonde or light brunette...

Funny fact is that my nickname is lollipop and I would loooove to let you play the same way with me....

My aunt just died and left me some cash with instructions to blow it however I want. Not into drugs. Fucking LOVE Twilight. Also, a lesbian. It's relevant, I swear.

I'm sure this ad will get me some creepers, but it might be worth it.

I will pay you $50 an hour to act like Edward for me. My schedule is flexible, and it would only be a few hours a week. I do NOT want any sex or kissing, but some platonic cuddling would be nice. You need to physically resemble Edward to some degree. You need to put on some sort of sparkly stuff on your face before hand. I'll ask you to hold ice for a while (not a dangerous while) so that when you touch me your hands are cold.

I'm going to be clumsy, and you're going to stare at me and tell me how awesome I am and treat me amazingly. If you can quote the book/act out small scenes with me I'll even pay you more.

I know this is stupid, but this book is the first time I've understood being attracted to any guy, and I want to play with it. Reminder: this is NOT SEXUAL. It's an emotional itch that I can now afford to scratch.

Please send me a picture to confirm that you somewhat resemble Edward (hair length/color, skin color, build of body are most important). If you wear glasses you'll need to be able to function without them. I'm willing to buy you the right outfits so don't worry about clothes.

Serious replies only.

Craigslist removes adult services section

September 04, 2010 4:30 PM EDT
Craigslist appears to have surrendered in a legal fight over erotic ads posted on its website, shutting down its adult services section Saturday and replacing it with a black bar that simply says "censored."

The move comes just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren't enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. It's not clear if the closure is permanent, and it appears to only effect ads in the United States.

The listings came under new scrutiny after the jailhouse suicide last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist. Critics have likened the services to virtual pimping, while Craigslist maintained the site was carrying ads even tamer than those published by some newspapers.

Like many other free online forums, Craigslist typically does not review ads before they are posted by users. But in 2008, under pressure from 40 state attorneys general, Craigslist began requiring posters to provide a working phone number and pay a fee for placing an ad in what is now the adult services section. Several months later, Craigslist adopted a manual screening process in which postings are reviewed before publishing.

State officials believe Craigslist is still not doing enough to stop illegal ads from appearing.

The company said Saturday it would issue a statement on the matter, though it didn't say when.

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, one of the 17 attorneys general who pressed for the change, said in a statement that he welcomed the change and was trying to verify Craigslist's official policy going forward.

In an Aug. 24 letter, the state attorneys general said Craigslist should remove the section because it couldn't adequately block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution and child trafficking.

Authorities point to the case of 24-year-old Philip Markoff as a prime example of the dangers posed by Craigslist services. The former medical student was accused of killing a masseuse he met through the hugely popular classified advertising site, which was founded by Craig Newmark. Markoff committed suicide in the Boston jail where he was awaiting trial.

Craigslist's adult services section carried ads for everything from personal massages to a night's companionship, which critics say veered into prostitution.

Craigslist's CEO Jim Buckmaster said in a May blog posting that the company's ads were no worse than those published by the alternative newspaper chain Village Voice Media. He cited one explicit ad which included the phrase: "anything goes $90."

This is an odd request, but I am looking for a role-playing partner to do email or instant message-based sessions revolving around various reenactments and recreations of situations similar to those in the Disney classic movie Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

Various aspects of the original movie have always fascinated me. The perspective of being shrunken, and the various interactions with normal every-day objects and situations. My role would be that of a shrunken individual, while yours would be that of the normal sized role.

Out of all of the scenes in the movie that I have always wanted to reenact through role-play is that of the Cheerios scene. Of course, swapping out Rick Moranis for yourself would be preferred.

The requirements for this job: you are a female, you are verbose, descriptive almost to the point of it being ridiculous, very imaginative, and hopefully that you like Cheerios. The ability to take something as simple as moving your hand and creating a moment and event out of it would be preferred as far as detail depth.

If you feel you could be into this, and have plenty of fun doing so, then please reply.

42 years old, really?

I commented on your Shirt at Skylight today - m4w - 42 (Los Feliz)

I saw you today at the Skylights annex in Los Feliz. I was so taken by you that I barely paid attention to what books they had. I thought, "oh, awesome! It's my turn to find a cute girl in a Hipster bookstore! I guess movies ARE right, after all." And then, guess what? You left. Suddenly uninterested in books, I left too, not realizing that there was an even bigger Skylights two doors down. I wondered... could she? Would she? I already knew you liked books, so I thought I had a pretty good chance.

And there you were, bright and shiny and so lovely in your cuffed jeans, cute shoes and green-striped top. I wanted to hold your hand and talk about books; I wanted to have coffee in Paris with you; I wanted to feel your head on my shoulder during a French New Wave Festival.

So I tried not to stare, tried not to creep, tried not to follow you, but I couldn't help it. I finally passed and commented, in a rather stumbling and not at all smooth way, "that's a cute top... you look really cute in it." You said, "thanks" and smiled. We never spoke again. Maybe you weren't attracted to me? Maybe I, a straight man, shouldn't tell girls that their "Top" is "Cute" if I'd like to date them? Maybe I should be happy I made you smile and move on.

But I'll still be thinking about that coffee in Paris.

Vons in Echo Park, Tues, Oct 12 - m4w - 36 (Echo Park)

Hi. I wanted to thank you again for being so thoughtful while I was in line behind you at the Vons in Echo Park. First, you were very kind to move your groceries on the conveyor belt! Second, you were very thoughtful in worrying that you would hold me back while filling out the application for a Vons Card! Your kindness and smile left the best of impressions and I regret not being able to introduce myself (in fear of holding up the line behind me!). Would be nice to be able to thank you again and have an uninterrupted conversation.

We met at Douggy's party Saturday night. You tried to chug a bucket of old antifreeze and gin. Gross! At the halfway point you fell down, vomitted and started shaking. It was so adorable that I couldn't help coming over to help you up. We talked about Eastern European economic policies and the McRib sandwich for awhile. At some point in the night you and I started drinking vodka and we kissed. You fell down again and your head landed in Mr. Wink's litter box. Lol! Douggy and I (and Mike) had to pick you up and lay you out by the curb. We thought you needed to go to the hospital. You pooped yourself and we could smell it. Are you OK? Anyway, hope we get to talk about "string theory" again.

Clipse are a rap group well known for being critically acclaimed for their crossover appeal and have played at the pfork music festival.

Yeah, I know "Grindin'", I even have that Clipse album. Apparently I didn't recognize them from the pic though, probably because the album sleeve only has cartoon pictures of them. Nor did I know they were "pfork music" - maybe I should read Pitchfork sometimes, I thought they were an indie rock site or something.

This offer is not for everyone. Those of you who have saved every penny for most of your life to afford a down payment and currently work around the clock to make mortgage payments, I commend you on your efforts, but this post is not for you.

Do you own more than one property? Do you have so many rental homes with no mortgage payments, yet you still feel unfulfilled? Tired of your illegal tenants whining that there are rats in the walls? Have you always wanted your own dinosaur? Now is your chance my friend.

In exchange for one of your properties, I will be your personal dinosaur for one year. I will be at your beck and call, 24 hours a day, wearing a dinosaur costume. The type of dinosaur is negotiable. I can babysit your children (references upon request), scare the mailman, wash dishes, entertain and impress your guests, and much more. (No sex stuff though, sorry.) I will make realistic dinosaur sounds, eat what the particular dinosaur eats and maybe even sit on a fake dinosaur egg, if you are so inclined. I am well educated, fluent in English and French (as well as dinosaur), can play several musical instruments and have no criminal record or outstanding warrants.

All this and more. This is the only way you will ever have your pet dinosaur, and the only way I will ever be able to acquire a house in Vancouver.
Serious offers only please.

Thank you.

Models wanted for Cosmopolitan photoshoot (Downtown)

Date: 2012-01-24, 9:52PM EST
Reply to: job-wvsby-2816747✧✧✧@craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧ [Errors when replying to ads?]

First off, please check out my website. If my work doesn't appeal to you, don't waste my time by responding. I am interested in working with models who understand art.

http://www.modelmayhem.com/818422

I am a well known and respectful photographer with the opportunity to do an amazing shoot that will be featured in Playboy, as well as a possible follow- up installment with the Matthew Marks gallery (http://www.matthewmarks.com/).

I need three models/artists to photograph during the first weekend in February (Friday and Saturday). I need three woman. At this time, I am thinking of they should be of a variety. One should look like Eva Herzigova (but 30 lbs lighter), another like Amy Winehouse (not how should looks currently, obviously), and the last like Kirstie Alley (during her stint with Fat Actress.

The shoots will last approximately 16 hours on both Friday and Saturday (starting at 6 am). There are some things you should consider before responding to the ad:

- you will have to be naked (mostly PG-13)
- you will be covered in glue, and then glitter.
- the glitter is made from bismuth oxychloride and it WILL irritate your skin.
- you cannot wear contacts. if the bismuth oxychloride gets under them in the middle of a shoot, you will not have time to stop and remove it before the eye swelling starts.
- you need to be cleanly shaved. everything, including your head and eyebrows.

There are other additional considerations, but if you're still interested at this point - please respond no later than January 30. For me, this gig pays really well! And I realize there are some oddities and health risks involved. However, you will be very well payed for time participating in the shoot (50% up front). This is a really great way to build your portfolio. I mean, c'mon - an article in Playboy!

There is additional compensation available if we are able to do the art installment at Matthew Marks.

Please respond to this ad via email for phone contact information.

Compensation: $175 / hour

Bass player available for PAYING GIGS ONLY. I play G, C, D. If your songs are not in G, please transpose them into G. If your song has an Em or Bm or anything off the wall I will probably sit out that chord. Or I could learn those notes for $30 each. If you want me to do fancy stuff like go back and forth between G and D while you hold a G chord, forget it because I'm a "pocket" player. Minimum $100 per gig within a 5 mile radius of 39202. $5 per mile travel charge for other areas out of town. Please make sure your gigs are on a JATRAN bus route, or you can pick me up at my place. Must be home by 11pm due to previous legal hassles. No gigs within 500 yards of schools, parks, or playgrounds.

Looking for a Hard-Headed Woman - 30 (Downtown)

I'm looking for a woman who can relate to a misanthropic man.. who is well-read, but doesn't wear her intellect like an accessory. A woman who is allergic to pretension, despises all 'isms', who is fiercely opinionated and objectively beautiful. A feminine tomboy and a lover of dancing and dark music. A woman who has a finely-tuned bullshit detector, and a devout aversion to the narcissistic, the phony, the loud and the banal. A woman who instinctively scoffs at the perversion of modern feminism, at its predictable effects on hapless men and women, and rises above it without effort. Sort of a modern incarnation of Salinger's Franny, without the prayer. I am a struggling musician and writer, and a lover of a very specific kind of woman which is increasingly difficult to find in a city that is hopelessly sedated by irony, vanity, and other vices of the vapid and hip.

Send me a photo and tell me about yourself.

Free Cello
Date: 2010-12-13, 7:32PM PST

So my sister gave me this cello a couple years ago. It's a nice cello. Actually, it's a great cello. It's probably the best cello, but I don't really know much about cellos. Also the neck snapped off. Of the cello. So it's really more like 3/4's of a cello, but the other 1/4's still there, it's just not attached. It's kind of like you're getting two cellos, only one of them doesn't have a body and the other doesn't have a neck. But if you stand them up next to each other it's like old times. You could probably fix it with like some music glue or something like that.

She also gave me a cello bag that I can give to you too, now that I won't have a cello. It's a really nice cello bag. You can fit everything in it. Actually, there might even be a bow in the bag, I'm not sure. I don't want you to think that there's 100% a bow in the bag. It's way over there, I can't check right now. But if it's in there it's yours.

If you're like me and you don't know how to play the cello then you could use it as a coin bank. It's hollow and there are two S's on the front that you could drop the coins through. Then when it's filled up you could drop it off of your roof or carry it around like a change purse. Ooh, in the cello bag. It'd be like a cello purse. I'd do it but I'm moving across the country and it won't fit in my car. What else could you do with it. You could saw the front off and use it as a sled. Or give the neck to a baby as like a wizard stick for Christmas. Totally give this cello to someone for Christmas. Or Hanukkah.

Please come get it. I'm in Echo Park. I'd actually go somewhere to meet you if wherever we're going is a cool place. Like the desert or something.

I'm 90% certain the bow's in there.

rod stewart imp/impress sks tribute band/acoustic duo/solo gigs (palmyra)

Reply to: rcqtp-2931912✧✧✧@c✧✧✧.craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧ [Errors when replying to ads?]
Hello,my name is Greg Scott. I live in Palmyra now; just moved here from Mobile,AL,but I`m originally from the Boston area. I have been a semi-professional Rod Stewart impersonator/impressionist for about 15 years. I am 48 yo. I call my tribute -BIG ROD.I am a large sized man so the name is very apt. My desire is to form a Rod Stewart tribute band or a duet with an acoustic guitarist, with other singers/musicians,or at least hire out myself as a one man show for hire,any occasion. I have ok 12 yo club speakers,stands,wireless mike and stand and amp and mixer,again none of it spectacular but good enough for a gig. I have all my music on a computer in Real Player and i have CDGs and some burned cd-roms. I am also willing to just get together to jam as a hobbyhorse,etc in lieu of gigs.. As for my act right now i do one-man shows with karaoke background music when i do have a rare gig. I only performed once in mobile at the Crooked Martini last year,a week before St. Patrick`s day. When i lived in Lancaster a few years back; I did a gig downtown on Queen st, for the Friday arts thing they had. The vast majority of all my past gigs have been in Mass. I have also won numerous karaoke contests over the years as well. I am always available for any occasion. I know over 70 Rod Stewart songs and can learn more. I perform,of course, the songs which are available on karaoke. My set list is anything from maggie may to his latest Songbook album. With a band or another musician,there are obviously many more songs that I will do such as songs he has not recorded but has performed as well as classic soul/rock covers in his style that fit his voice. I can sing many songs in an evening and have lots of energy and passion in my performances. I can move pretty good as well. I stay in character in my shows using a Stewart like voice and sense of humour. I use a long blonde wig and black viny like pants and tall boots. My shirts are either satiny like polyesters and I have a disco mirror ball type shirt i like to wear. I have three sport coats that i wear as well. I can wear make-up but haven`t used it in years. If you are seriously interested in putting something together or if you want to hire for an evening; please email me with details. I do not have a resume/package per se but i do have some video of my past performances going back to 1998/99 and a short video from last year as well. I will post my most current business card to this ad at some future time As for me auditioning for you and/or vice- versa; I do not have a rehearsal space but we could meet at yours or at my home or yours. I usually ask people to meet me at a local karaoke venue so they can see and hear me perform. You may also call me,Greg, at 717-639-4684 8-8. Look forward to hearing from you; serious replies only. ALSO OPEN MINDED TO JOIN A COVER BAND AS A VOCALIST,FRONT MAN OR OTHERWISE. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS CASE I WOULD NOT BE DRESSED/PERFORMING AS ROD STEWART.

Looking to get some studs together to re-enact an episode of Walker. Any episode. We need a black guy to play Trivette and an old guy can do some of CDs lines. I will be playing Walker (obviously) We could maybe have a girl to do Cahill's shit but that might be weird for her when we all start to jo. Like she would have nothing to do but wait until we are done and then resume scenes.Maybe a couple of guys could play bad guys or horses. Its up in the air and I just wanted to spitball and get some input. Let me know (I cannot host as my wife hates Walker)

I do NOT play to a click track or backing tracks and GO SCREW if you think I'm gonna "tone it down a little, bro" so you can piddle away on your stringed sissy box. I WILL NOT play hotel cafe and don't take direction from ninnies who live in their fucking parents basement and whack off to dreams of hanging with Jack Johnson and rapping about his "process", you piece of shit. I am a real mother fucker with balls of steel and have a drumset that loves to be ass fucked mercilessly from behind and I need to join a band who understands that stage-sex is part of the fucking game, dude. So when I'm fucking the shit outta the kit, you can't be the guy in the corner beating your limp, taffy dick wishing that you could stick your dick in too, NO! You get that dick hard and fuck the stage with me, pussy boy. I'm so sick of stealing the show and would really love to meet some real sons of fucking bitches who aren't afraid to use a sweat band for its intended purpose: wiping off fucking sweat, cum, groupies, pussy juice, blood, etc.

Do not write me for reasons of sass because I will FIND YOU and shred your fucking face with my SHIT-STORMING DRUM GODLINESS!

Let me set the scene here. I was laying out on a blanket under a tree near the parking lot around 7-7:30 or so, studying for a Western Civ quiz, and all the sudden this shirtless man is jogging across the grass yelling "ANDREW! ANDREW! COME ON!" and then I see this animal control truck pull up maybe 20 yards from me. The dog is obviously older so he's lagging behind, and then this fat bitch animal control officer gets out and tries to get this poor dog that OBVIOUSLY belongs to this man with her little loop on a stick. She's too slow, so she gets back into her car while the man and the dog just keep going, drives into the parking lot (probably 70 yards from where she just was, not even kidding), and tries AGAIN to get this poor dog. The man is yelling at the top of his lungs to get his dog to run faster to get away from this woman. At this point, I have gotten up and am walking towards the parking lot just in awe of what the FUCK I am witnessing, and I swear to god if she had caught that dog, I was ready to run over there and give her a piece of my mind.
Dude.
What.
The.
FUCK.
That dog ain't botherin' ANYBODY. That man looks like he'd probably been taking that dog on runs with him without a leash for the last like 10 friggin' years. And this fat bitch animal control officer is straight up STALKING him around. After he got done running there and back on the other side, he's talking to someone in their car about what just happened, and then, oh, guess who's about to turn back into the parking lot! Whoever that was that was in that car who let that man get in there with you, you are awesome. Me and my boyfriend who at this point had returned from buying shorts at Old Navy were sending you telepathic high fives.
To the man who got terrorized by the fat bitch animal control officer, I am so sorry that you got terrorized by the fat bitch animal control officer. You seem like a badass. Well, actually, you are a badass for just giving the fat bitch animal control officer the finger and just not stopping. Double badass points for continuing your run after the person with the car dropped you off again, you seem like you don't give a fuck, and I like that. I also like that your dog's name is Andrew because that's my boyfriend's name so I feel like I would probably like your dog.
To the fat bitch animal control officer, you created a very hostile environment on what was otherwise a nice day at the park. Way to go. Pretty sure that's not in your job description. And, seriously, you missed out on like half a dozen unleashed dogs that were WAY more trouble than that one. Where were you when I got swarmed by wet twin lab puppies who tried to take the twice baked potatoes I had from the Fresh Market and my cell phone? That dog wasn't bothering anybody. Also, you are a fat bitch. This is not just an attack on your physical appearance. This is about how you got in and out of a truck and drove short distances because you can't keep up with a dog that's probably well into retirement age in dog years. You are also a bitch. Just to reiterate. Also, I really hope you don't do that all the time, because you're going to ruin the fucking grass and everybody is going to resent you for it. Seriously. I hope you went home, had diarrhea, and on the way to the bathroom stepped on a Lego. You are a fat bitch animal control officer.

House also has a sick backyard for hackey sack, hula hooping, throwing rocks, spinning poi (Leaf and I both spin fire yo!) or just chillaxin' in the hammock.

To The Girls of Echo Park - m4w (El Ay)

Date: 2012-07-25, 3:02PM PDT
Reply to: bgv93-3162948✧✧✧@p✧✧✧.craigsl✧✧✧.o✧✧

I used to have crushes on arty girls, like those that are in abundance in Silverlake and Echo Park. Those girls with their slender, tomboyish figures. Until realizing that this subgroup I refer to as "indie kids" are not like the people I met in college at all. It is painful to sit in a coffeeshop and listen to these sorts of people as they continually spout out cliche hipster nonsense that they seem to think is intellectual thought, but isn't. It's like the entire generation that these late-20s, early-30s come from are completely emotionally detached, intellectually stunted, and politically and socially disengaged -- but they somehow remain completely self-absorbed. I mean, self-absorption was once solely the domain of the intellectual and artistic elite -- Einstein and Picasso, for instance -- but has now filtered down to those who don't even have a reason to be self-absorbed. Hell, with the seeming nonexistence of rational thought, pragmatism, emotional maturity, or any sense of the world outside, I'm not even convinced there is a self to be absorbed in.

After seeing places in this world where people live in tin shacks with no electricity or running water and literally eat the sun-baked gravel for survival of the barest degree, I find the lifestyle and values of this group of people reprehensible. And the fact that there are so many publications and facets of the media -- like the LA Weekly, for instance -- that seem to not only cater to this subgroup, but lionize and proselytize about the shitty music and faux-art that they produce must be sure sign of the impending downfall of the U.S., if not the Western world as a whole.

We here have been given everything, there is no excuse for ignorance and apathy. None. Take your shitty music with no balls, your mumblecore films and sub-Warhol pop art bullshit and go back to Oregon, Washington or Minnesota. And tell your hipster douche bag boyfriends to buy a razor, a comb, and some pants that didn't come off the girl's rack - you fucktards. I'll be laughing my ass off when you're working in the mines for your Chinese overlords. Thanks for pissing an entire generation away.

Are you going to be protesting at the Ecuadorian embassy alone?

Well what a coincidence, so am I.

I'm heading there friday evening and staying overnight the whole weekend leading up to Assange's statement on Sunday at 2pm. I don't have any camping equipment so my plan right now is to sleep on the pavement, but if you want to share what you have, I'll be infinitely grateful.

I'm just thinking this would be a great opportunity to get to know a like-minded person of the opposite sex and since I've just moved into London I don't know many people here yet so it'd be nice to meet you this weekend.

Your pic gets mine.

Matt DC, Friday, 17 August 2012 11:16 (eleven years ago) link

I refuse to believe there are any women in the world so short on sexual options that they would consider a meeting a trustafarian Julian Assange supporter off a casual sex website.

.. send a pic fast enough?

(xpost)

Mark G, Friday, 17 August 2012 11:20 (eleven years ago) link

It took me about 20 minutes to realise that ad was not "Are you a female Assange fan? I am too (both female and an Assange fan)" which reduced the creepiness level quite a lot, and in fact would be quite understandable (not wanting to be alone in a protest full of rape culture supporters) - but initially didn't notice and then was deeply perplexed by the "opposite sex" bit at the end.

Like "I am a woman and would like a woman to go with so I'm not alone" is unfortunately a reasonable request. :-(

Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 11:21 (eleven years ago) link

Not even unfortunate, it's totally reasonable.

As opposed to "you hate rape? Hey, so do I. Let's hookup.."

Mark G, Friday, 17 August 2012 11:23 (eleven years ago) link

Are there anti-Assange protestors outside the Ecaudorian embassy as well? Because otherwise that would be a very strange place for such a meeting.

Matt DC, Friday, 17 August 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link

It's unfortunate that women would feel uncomfortable going to a protest unaccompanied.

It's unfortunate that a bunch of Assange fanboys seem to be turning protesting spaces into "get out of rape free zones" but this is the kind of thing I don't feel comfortable discussing on the internet.

Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 11:27 (eleven years ago) link

Wait, why are they protesting the Ecuadorians? Ecuador gave him asylum! Shouldn't they be protesting at the Swedish Embassy instead?

Troll (Chaki Little Bit Sklarer) (how's life), Friday, 17 August 2012 11:37 (eleven years ago) link

It depends what they are protesting.

Also, he is there.

Mark G, Friday, 17 August 2012 11:38 (eleven years ago) link

They're protesting against the police presence outside the embassy which stops him leaving it.

We have to put you wannabe fans in your place so you keep back and dont get tapped out. I have had to tap out several mma fans who could not contain themselves while drinking. I am always out in Lacey area after we train and we get messed with often so i wear tapout shirts. What of it? Step into my octogon bitches and you'll get the superman beatdown.

My name is Melissa and I am a interspecies telepathic animal communicator.
Telepathy is a three way conversation between myself, you and your animal friend. The only information I need to get a connection with your pet is a picture and their name so that I know who I am speaking with. Through this subtle communication questions can be answered and harmony restored in your life journey with your animal friend. Telepathy can bennefit in many situations like being able to communicate with animals who have passed on. Telepathy can be used as another tool under your belt for training issues by finding out why our pet is being resistant wether it is a pain issue or your animal friend is mis understanding what you are asking of them . but please keep in mind that Telepathy is not a cure all or Quick Fix for training it's self you still must apply proper training with your pet.
Also in some situations when a pet has become lost, or left home for any reason through telepathy they can show me images of land marks they see around them or things they may have passed by that you may recognise to be able to find them or guide them home again. But please keep in mind that I am not a GPS so I do not receive address's or street names..

If this lady is able to make money with this I might try to be an interspecies telepathic animal communicator on craigslist as well.

Tempering music is a bit off, I think. It seems Hz is more the key here. The Beatles played their music in 432 Hz, John Lenon died young. The Doors, Elvis and some other musicians all died mysteriously at 27 yrs old, all using 432 Hz tuning.

It seems they could tune their guitars to 432 Hz. I found some examples of this on u-tube also. I don't understand it to mean designing new instruments.

Jim Hendricks was another musician who died at 27. There are quite a few of them, all using 432 Hz.

What is this even

Band ads are their own special circle of hilarity on CL anyway. Was thinking of starting a Tumblr just to highlight particularly tragic ones.

e.g.

I am a rapper looking to start a band. Not just any band. One that will create a type of music never heard before. I want to make something completely original with real instruments. Think Pink Floyd meets Kid Cudi meets The Beatles meets Eminem. If anybody out there is interested in doing something like that, please contact me asap and we can get this moving along. Thank you!

Or this:

National hard rock act looking to expand their lineup. Some info on the band....

- Worldwide record deal
- Currently booked for several of the largest U.S. music festivals
- Has performed/toured with many major artists
- Preparing to record a new album

Mainly interested in main rhythm instruments right now, but will audition rhythm guitar or keyboards.

You must:

- Have at least medium-length hair
- Dress like a rockstar
- Have professional gear. Guitars, amplifiers, cymbals...must be pro-grade, pro-size and can be heard over a strong vocalist and lead guitarist.
- Be age 20-30
- Have a car and driver's license
- Be able to support yourself financially
- Want to make this the biggest band in the world

If you do not meet all of the above criteria, do not reply. All emails will be responded to.

Wanna play some grunge? (Syracuse)
Alright, check it out. I'm 28 years old, I play bass, rhythm guitar, and vox. I've been playing and writing for a long fucking time and I've played in enough bands now to know that if you push too hard you'll fall over. I'm done trying to figure out the next best idea or what sound is gonna come back around. I just wanna play some tunes, write some music, and play some shows. My big influences are(in order) grunge, punk, and blues and unfortunately my heart is stuck in the 90s when rock bands where raw and versatile. When music was a product of aggression and emotion not this over processed cookie cutter insert money here crap thats been soaking up the main stream. Also I've got a full p.a. But no practice space and a real good network in this town. So if you wanna play some grunge just because you love it, write some tunes and play some covers, play shows just to play em then get at me. You can email or txt. 315 XXX XXXX if you call I probably won't answer.

the chances of this being someone i knew in high school are WAY too high

The deployment of quote marks throughout here makes me think this one may secretly be a sex thing:

We are a Symphonic Rock band looking for the right female vocalist to be the face of the band. An idea of the sound we are shooting for can be found by searching for Evanesence, Nightwish, Within Temptation, or Epica (minus the screaming) on YouTube.

We are a clean band (no drugs and no drinking 'on' or 'before' practice sessions and shows), and we are looking for ta vocalist with the appeal and skill to take the vocalist position as we drive the genre of Symphonic Metal/Rock locally, and then nationally.

Qualifications:
- You would need to be able to 'practice' and you must NOT be afraid to work.
- You must be able to 'sing'.

***It does not matter to us if you are tenured in the scene or if you new to it. If you have the talent, we want to audition you.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I love the "bands" that are auditioning bass, drums, keys and maybe rhythm guitar, so said "band" is likely one guitar-wanky guy in his mom's basement. But he already has the band name picked out.

$675 / 208ft² - HUGE room in HUGE apt. 25 min 2 Mnhtn available NOW or move in by 4/1 (Midwood, Brooklyn Kingshighway area)

Will be running full background check on all roommate applicants. Proof of identity required to move in (driver's license, photo id and/or passport). If you could pack pay-stubs or old utility bills, references, etc when you come to see the room, that would be great too. I'll also need a money order or certified/cashier's check to reserve the place, or at least a personal check (prefer the former). I cannot accept rent or a security deposit in cash.

(...)

FOR A LOW-KEY/QUIET/CALM/PEACEFUL FEMALE ROOMMATE who respects the situation as outlined below.

(...)

BUT FIRST, SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES:
1. DECORATING/ETC: I have lived here for 9 years, and am the only one on the lease (responsible for everything), and am therefore solely in charge of picking future roommates, and decorating the common living areas (not interested in anyone else decorating or re-arranging anything), although you can feel free to decorate your own room. Of course, everyone has full use of the kitchen, living room, bathroom, dining room, etc.

2. I am not interested in sharing a lease with anyone. Please don't ask. Find another situation if that is what you want.

2. I have one CAT, and cannot take in any more cats, as I also often care for friend's (who don't live here) cats, which means there's usually 1-3 cats in the house, coming and going. I make it a point to stay on top of them and invest in a lot of special litterboxes, etc, and there's so many extra rooms I have for them to stay in (with the door closed) or roam, you often will not even see them or notice their existence, but yeah, we can't handle more cats here. No dogs either, landlord doesn't allow them. Other pets ok.

3. THREATENING, AGGRESSIVE OR HOSTILE BEHAVIOR and/or consistent bad, disrespectful, argumentative "attitude" (eye-rolling, door slamming, etc) directed at me, bullying, excessive cattiness/rudeness/, having guests over all the time (or more than bearable), ganging up with whomever the other roommate is (or even worse, involving outsiders like friends or family in disputes here), or failure to pay rent will be responded to with 30 day notices, eviction papers, calling the police/getting my landlord involved and other necessary measures. I hate to bring it up, but I have had to deal with extreme examples of this in the past, real "hell-raisers" and have experience in it (although 90% of my numerous roommates over the years were normal enough, and got along. 9 of them stayed 1 year or more). Also don't like people who complain about the house not being clean enough while doing next to no chores. Also prefer roommates who are high on the "cooperation" scale... people who know how to live without turning every other interaction into some unnecessary power struggle, and view living here as an opportunity. MY MAIN POINT IS, I JUST WANT DECENT, POLITE, CONSIDERATE ROOMMATES WHO AREN'T INTO INSTIGATING TROUBLE AND AREN'T "GUEST ADDICTS"/POTENTIAL SQUATTER CREATORS.

4. SMOKING: I am an occasional smoker. I quit about 1 year ago, but still will bum one once or twice a month while partying or having a bad day, usually smoking it in the kitchen, always airing it out with an open window (that's my smoking spot). I wish I could say I've completely quit, but I certainly don't smoke everyday, or even every week. My roommate smokes almost a pack a day, almost always in her bedroom, unless she's socializing with guests in the living room, which is very, very rare.

5. GUEST POLICY: I have only run into issues with people having guests too much when they get a new boyfriend or have an out-of-town boyfriend who attempts to move in, or is in the place so much he might as well be a 4th roommate. I go out to see my friends mostly, and am currently single. I've had people sleep over a few nights over the course of an entire year. I rarely have guests over. I think once in a while, having a boyfriend (or girlfriend) over for a weekend is ok, or out of town guests for a bit longer (like for a week, negotiable, once every 6 months, and not right away when you first move in), BUT OTHER THAN THOSE OCCASIONAL TIMES, THERE SHOULDN'T BE MORE THAN 2 OVERNIGHT GUESTS PER MONTH. If you feel the need to have people sleep over every week, or worse yet, everyday, this isn't for you. Occasional, rare party ok (like once every few months). I normally wouldn't spell this out so sternly, but I once had a roommate who interpreted guests over "once in awhile" as about 90% of the time, and noted that I never defined "once in awhile", so it was my fault (she'd make a great lawyer). I also want to be told in advance when out of town guests are coming and leaving. I also don't want the key to the apartment being given out without my permission (it's illegal actually). I PREFER INTROVERTS OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE MINIMAL GUESTS OVER, especially if it's the days-on-end variety. The fewer, the better. Guests= extra noise, extra foot traffic, extra stimulus, extra having to put on an act, extra potential drama, etc. Guests are fine, but within moderation, please.

6. I ALSO HAVE A POLICY OF asking roommates to:
A. KEEP (CELL) PHONE CONVERSATIONS IN YOUR BEDROOM ONLY, as the noise reverberates throughout the house and I can hear people on cellphones talking in the bathroom/kitchen/hallway, etc, even from my bedroom and it's agitating. We have thin walls from the 1920's. Noise in general should be avoided and minimal.
B. TURN OFF LIGHTS/ AC'S/ FANS/ computers when leaving a room for more than 10 minutes or so, so that we don't get a huge electric bill we all have to pay for.

7. CLEANING- IF YOU ARE A NEAT FREAK OR PERFECTIONIST, YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY HERE...
Not because I don't respect neat freaks or wouldn't love a perfectly clean house- who wouldn't? Because this happens to be one dusty old un-renovated house and I have a cat. It's also HUGE so it's hard to keep up with it all, although trust me, I try my best and do chores almost every day. I'm medium clean, like a 6 , 7 or 8 on a 1-10 scale, depending on the day, and have almost always done all of the chores myself, without any help, as I am home more than my roommates as I work mostly from home, and figured , out of the kindness of my heart, that was only fair. My work schedule may change in a few months, and at that point, I will ask others to do minimal kitchen/bathroom cleaning. Perhaps I should create a chore chart and ask roommates to do chores to instill some sort of respect and understanding for the work involved? I also buy all of the toilet paper and cleaning supplies. My mantra is that if it's not clean enough for your standards, and you feel the need to complain, you can feel free to chip in. Wishing the house clean is NOT the same thing as actually putting in the work, the daily, weekly work, the daily grind, to make it clean. I can't stress this enough. I've had several roommates over the years almost treat me like an under-appreciated maid and do maybe 1 chore in their entire stay here while having the gaul to complain about the place not being clean enough. It's profoundly disrespectul, and the home-making equivalent of people with champagne taste on a malt liquor budget. It got to the point where I began keeping a log of all the chores I do. In general, there seems to be a huge and stunning disconnect between some people's wishes for a perfectly clean house and people actually contributing anything. I've also cleaned out everyone's bedroom when they move out, set up everything, moved in all the furniture and literally done all the work and held all the responsibility here for years.

WHILE I DO THE BULK OF THE CHORES, OF COURSE, I EXPECT YOU TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR SELF (wipe down after meals, put your dishes away in the dishwasher, etc). Sometimes I can't even get roommates to do that. Yup, sometimes the same ones that complain a lot about cleanliness.

8. COMMUNICATION: If I can't ask you politely to do something like clean up after yourself when you haven't without a major blow up, and vice versa, it's best we just don't live together. The vast majority of my roommates I've never had to ask to do a thing, but those who leave lights/acs on all the time, hoard dishes in their room, dump cat litter in the bathtub, etc, etc, I cannot avoid asking to change, in my most neutral voice. I've also had roommates ask me to do things, and most of the time they were right in asking.

8. STRONGLY PREFER PEOPLE ON SOME FORM OF A 9-5 or DAYTIME SCHEDULE. I'm a former nightowl myself, and I have a "white noise machine" to block sound, but people on nightshift work schedules tend to have a different lifestyle and the noise beyond 11pm can be agitating. People who go to bed or are quiet by 11pm on weeknights are preferred. Since I work from home most of the time, it would be best if you don't work from home too.

THE REST:
1) ME: I AM NOT A "SOCIAL" ROOMMATE.

I'm kind, tolerant, respectful, considerate, warm, accommodating, yet slightly aloof, introverted, pre-occupied and emotionally detached, and am seeking the same in a roommate. Note: While I am quiet to a core all other times, I am a singer and sometimes practice at home- ONLY when my roommates are away at work or when I know they are not home. Not with any microphones, of course. I am a 32 year old NYU and FIT alumni and I work as a freelance publicist/copywriter, along with doing many, many other odd jobs and temp jobs. I'm often out of the house during the weekend doing the odd jobs, but home most of the week (depends). I am financially stable and have lived in this apartment for 9 years and in NYC for 14. I am originally from the suburbs of NYC. I telecommute from home, hence the need to be able to FOCUS AT HOME, besides my desire to quietly work on art and personal projects, complete chores, etc. I'm an artsy/intellectual/bohemian/creative/reader/writer type, spending about 95% of my time when I am home alone (not shy, just busy). I tend to see the roommate thing as primarily an economic situation- a way to save money. I'm not interested in heavy interpersonal interactions, "drama", or relationships that distract me from leading my life. So, I'm open to friendship, but not looking for a friend (it takes me awhile to trust, especially after all of the experiences I've had). I am looking for a decent roommate, someone to co-exist with, and above all else, just get along with. When I am home, I'm "off", meaning I'm not really in the mood to socialize most of the time or be "up" or "on" or have to put on an act. I'm also a native New Yorker (my roommates have come from all over the world and America, however, and have been of every ethnicity/race/social background imaginable, many times over), with the attendant personality type, which is to say, I am a kind person (I do tons of volunteer work), but certainly not cheery/upbeat at all times and generally keep to myself. I ALSO WANT TO COME HOME TO A CALM ENVIRONMENT, especially after a day of being out in our stressful, chaotic city.

***I'm also not interested in heated political or cultural debates. Or debates of any kind, really.

So I don't want our roommate relationship to be contingent upon "friendship", or politics or other subjective issues. I'm open to the proverbial "drink on a saturday night", and am always there if my roommate needs help or a shoulder to cry on. But personally, I'd prefer a quiet, calm, decent roommate who I am not "friends" with to a loud, disruptive, distracting, draining friend turned frienemy who abuses the situation.

I'VE HAD 9 ROOMMATES STAY FOR AT LEAST 1 YEAR, over the course of 9 years. Many others came and went, almost always because they wanted to move to another city/move-in with a boyfriend or best friend. I still socialize with 3 past roommates. My current roommate who is staying is 33, works full-time as a pre-school teacher, kind, quiet, good-natured, etc. She's lived here for 2 years. I've lived with many younger roommates in the past too. There are only 3 people total (including myself) at all times in a 5br apartment.

this goes on a lot longer with details about the neighborhood and the room and the dollars and cents stuff but jesus CHRIST, who would want to live with this person? five bucks says they're a yelper

That'd be pretty close to my roommate policies if I ever had to look for a roommate.

"I have lived here for 9 years"

...

"I hate to bring it up, but I have had to deal with extreme examples of this in the past, real "hell-raisers" and have experience in it (although 90% of my numerous roommates over the years were normal enough, and got along. 9 of them stayed 1 year or more)."

caek, Monday, 18 March 2013 02:06 (eleven years ago) link

What really strikes me about this is that it reads more like the stern kiss-off letter to the person just kicked out than it does the enticement for a person to come in, as if the former is really the part of the roommate experience towards which she most enthusiastically looks.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 18 March 2013 02:11 (eleven years ago) link

I think that's also an okcupid tactic, "I am looking for someone who is not like this list of things that seem to exactly describe someone"

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 18 March 2013 04:17 (eleven years ago) link

Having had a few pretty awful flatmates throughout the years I can certainly sympathise with many of this person's points. (Though if noise bothers her so much that she needs to ban cellphone conversations in common areas and has a "white noise machine" to block sounds, you kinda wonder whether a shared flat is the best place for her to live?) Whether it makes sense to pour it all into a "roommate wanted" ad is a different thing, though...

Tuomas, Monday, 18 March 2013 12:10 (eleven years ago) link

The woman's obviously mad but the kind of setup she seems to want sounds ideal. It looks like a nice apartment in the photos in the ad, and $675 a month seems insanely cheap (to a British person). Would definitely give it a go.

the thing is, this person is horrible, but by her own admission she also likes to be away from people and keep to herself

basically, if you don't mind hanging out outside of your home, there are many ways in which the minimal effort spent keeping to yourself might make this living situation great if it wasn't for the complete and total disregard for appropriate boundaries vis a vis how one should communicate with someone they don't know

Darth Icky (DJP), Monday, 18 March 2013 14:55 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, it's the whole tip-of-the-iceberg thing as far as her entire personality goes, not even the specific things she's specifying (although again I think some of these things are just out-and-out deal-breakers).

I had it in my pocket and me and friends were playing around and one of them threw me into a pile of garbage where I most likely lost the Zune HD. If you turn it on, the main picture is of the Steinway train station, and there's plenty of pictures of women I have on there labeled "sexy women motivation" amongst others.

If you are going to watch tv, please let me know in advance which programs you'd like to watch. I do have TiVo, by the by, and I have certain shows that I simply must watch when they originally air. I cannot be too flexible with this because I cannot stand to wait to see my programs. You have to understand that I simply have to watch them when they originally air or I will get a little batty. Most of my programs are on public broadcasting and do not tend to run during prime-time spots.

Many plumbers in this industry say over and over again how good of a toilet this model is. Veteran plumbers also say that this toilet has the least problems with flushing and/or maintenance that they know of. It has a tank, lid and bowl that can look modern or classic.
My parents have this toilet in their house and it works better than any other toilet I've seen.

These 50 year old bowls are never perfect, but this one is in better than average condition. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear.

Author needs female participant for affair (for book project)

My name is Chad Leslie Peters and I am the author of the Amazon bestselling novel, The Affair: a Thirty Day Experiment in Love, which reached the top twenty in the Amazon erotic category last year. The novel told the story of a 30 day erotic affair between an older man and his much younger lover. The "affair" began on the campus of a university much like USC and played out over several torrid weeks. You can find the book at Amazon by searching for "The Affair by Chad Leslie Peters". You can sample it for free at the site. I will also send you a free copy if you like.

I am preparing to write the sequel to "The Affair" and I need your help. I plan on writing a non-fiction version of "The Affair". The book will detail every aspect of a mutually-agreed to romantic affair between myself and a young FEMALE lover (perhaps you), experienced over 30 days, as in the novel. The difference between the first book and this one will be verite: everything in this new volume will be the truth as both participants see it. If you agree to participate in this project, you will keep a diary of all of your thoughts, impressions and memories of the thirty day affair that we will share. I will then combine your written thoughts with my own to present the reader with two versions of the same erotic story. One love affair, as seen separately by the man and woman.

I am a serious writer; this project is meant to be taken seriously by the participant that I choose and by the readers, who will be able to read the fictional version beside the non-fiction story that we present together. This has never been done before and I am very excited at the prospect and possibilities.

If you are interested in applying to assist me on this book, which will be available through Amazon and possibly later on, Barnes and Noble.com, please write to me immediately.

I will make the selection based on a brief email correspondence with you. After that we will speak on the telephone and I will furnish further details. Then we will meet for coffee to discuss the project further. I am looking for someone who is a very good writer (your writing will appear in the book) and preferably an English or writing Major. Please practice safe sex if you want to participate. You must be at least 20 years old to take part in the project. I hope I've piqued your interest and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Are you sick of all the cover bands out there that have terrible musicians and cannot look the part. This ad is for a cover/original band that two brothers and two more friends have formed for your enjoyment this summer. We will play any venue outdoors or indoors. We have professional sound equipment and a semiprofessional sound technician. Our band has great chemistry and absolutely no drug problems. We just like to sip beer and play rock like it used to be. We have gigged at local bars in the Waconia area, and we have a gig August 3, 2013 at Waconia lanes. Our favorite bands to cover are van halen, led zeppelin, collective soul, and the cars. However we will play whatever you want us to. Our keyboardist is a mix of Freddy mercury and billy Joel. Out lead guitar can play a pretty good angus young or jimmy page. We are all in our 20s and love to just play rock how it once was. Our bands name is Bandammit. We are on Facebook and we sell merchandise. If you have a wedding, anniversary, grad party, or you are a local bar owner and you miss the classic rock. We are it. Professional looks, sound, and attitude. We charge between $1000-$2000 a night and we will play 1-5 hours. I'm the manager/lead singer. My cell is 952-356-2190. Call after 6pm or text anytime. I will answer promptly. Lets not let the rock die here people! Available June-September weekends.

2 grand. Sure...

Obviously fake but beautifully, lovingly crafted, my hat is off to Duluth.

Do you like to alt-rock? (Duluth/Superior) Hi there. My name is Mack. This is my first attempt at starting a band. Have you ever been out to one of the bars and seen the likes of Trampled by Tortoises or The Lows or The Car and Truck or The Accelerators or the Sarah Cougers or the Charles Parrs and said to yourself, "I wish I could do that!!!" Well I know I have. I know that Duluth and Superior is LOADED with musicians. But I want to start a band with people like me - people that "got the look" but not necessarily the skills to play music. Do you have a beard? If not, can you grow one? Can you rock a scarf like nobody's business?

If you're like me, you have a guitar that needs tuning. Don't worry - they Music Go Round can do that for $14.00. And my brother Curtis was in a band back in the late 80's and he gave me is old Peavy amp but the distortion channel cuts in and out. I've also got the old clarinet I played in marching band in high school. I don't exactly know how it'll fit into our sound, but we should try it anyway. "And just what will we sound like, Mack?," you ask? Have you heard of the Lumineers, or Of Monsters and Men, or the Mumford and Sons? I think Duluth needs more bands where guys wear vests and suspenders and scarves. I don't know about you, but that "Ho, Hey" song has been stuck in my head ever since the first time I heard it in the trailer for Silver Linings Playbook.

If you're interested, reply to this ad via email. Don't be shy. We can get together over a 30 pack of Stroh's and hammer this thing out. Let me know what instruments you have. I like banjos as much as the next guy, but I don't want to get dissed for beating a dead horse. Mandolins and Ukeleles and other folk instruments are more than welcome. Washboards? Sure! Horns? Bring them on! We'll probably also need a drummer. The more irascible the better. And I think our drummer should wear horn-rimmed glasses if at all possible. We'll discuss this more later on. I have connections to get us gigs at Thirsty Pagan and Beaners. And I know RT Quinlan's is in a rough part of town, but we should probably consider playing there. And Luce. That's like the launching pad for every successful Duluth band. Also, basement shows.

Everyone is welcome. Girls too, especially if you're artsy-looking. LGBT friendly. 420 friendly. No jocks.

You Dropped Your Bible and I Saw Your Thong - m4w - 36
I was walking down the sidewalk and you, a very good looking woman from the backside, dropped what appeared to be the Holy Bible, bent to pick it up, and through no fault of my own, I saw your thong...and wow.

I know Jesus spent some time with Mary Magdalene, and likely she wore next to nothing under those sackcloths, but I have to admit, your short skirt and fluorescent pink thong were way sexier, and made me want to get to "know" you, in the Biblical sense, of course.

I'm not Christian, but if we can stick to the basic 10 Commandments and leave the Pope out of it, I think we'll be ok.

I saw you with your friends, a fierce kinda intimidating gang of goth girls, plus a scronny dude with tattoos, shouting the phrase "you gon learn," at pitchfork fest during Lil B, and I thought you were super cute but I was too shy to introduce myself. I was wearing a liturgy t shit and i noticed your liturgy tattoo. You were wearing all black with glasses and dark eyeliner. You seemed inebriated but I was also kinda fucked up lol. I overheard you saying stuff about this dude Byron Coli whom I've since googled. At first I thought you might be talking about your boyfriend tbh but now i know he's a legendary record collector/writer and I want to meet him some day - but I'll save that for another missed connection. Anyway, if you ever wanna go to a blink 182 concert with me, I'd be down to go to one with you anywhere in the country.

Professional Gentleman Looking for a "Worthy & Deserving" Girl :-) (Antelope Valley)

** PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AD CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ME INCLUDING THE FAQs/COMMENTS AT THE END. THANK YOU.
(P.S. If you contact me it will be assumed you have read, understood and agree with everything on this page. If you disagree or don't like anything please don't contact me. On the other hand, "If you SNOOZE, you lose. . .") NOTE: I WILL TEST YOU early in the first communications/interactions between us to know if you are real, honest, motivated, serious, etc. Please take this as a fair and friendly prior warning.

ME = A very nice, mature , "gentleman." with a higher college degree and education. I have my own house (not apartment), car, income, etc. I am of Middle-Eastern descent (Iranian/Persian). A professional man with a GOOD BACKGROUND. Better than 99% of what you will find, GUARANTEE #1.

YOU = Good girl for friendship and romance. You would be treated very well and nobody will treat you better (GUARANTEE #2). HOWEVER IN ORDER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN . . .YOU HAVE TO BE. . . "Worthy," "Deserving" and "Reciprocate." IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE, please E-mail (1) your name, (2) your email address, (3) your location (city), (4) your age, (5) your ethnicity and (6) your current & clear photo (within the last 3 months). CURRENT means how you look "today," NOT "yesterday." For example, if you had long and black hair yesterday but short and blonde today, don't send me a photo showing your "older or previous" look. CLEAR means NO "hats," "sunglasses" or "fuzzy" photos and so forth. Your ETHNICITY means your "country" of origin or where your ancestors came from.

IF you provide me with ALL 6 items requested, I will respond back to you within 24-hrs. I will check and ask if you first read, understood and agree to everything on this page including the FAQs/Comments and subsequently request your cell # to text you my photo and to become more acquainted at the same time. Afterwards, we will talk on the phone too and set-up a day/time to meet.

If your email message is incomplete (does not include all 6 items above), ignorant, disrespectful or sarcastic you will NOT get a response. NO exceptions or excuses. The email gets deleted without paying any attention to it. DO NOT contact me if you are unwilling or unable to exchange phone #, talk on the phone and meet in person within a few days or possibly the same day.

* Note #1 - I am open to girls from different ethnicities, sizes, races and ages 18-27. If you are older than 27 please include information about your EDUCATION and WORK/JOB BACKGROUND in addition to the 6 items requested above.
(P.S. Regardless of the age you tell me, don't be surprised if I ask to see your ID or Birth Certificate to verify).

*Note #2 - If you are currently pregnant or have children, it won't work out. DO NOT contact me.

* Note #3 - Remember something ladies, especially THOSE OF YOU who "Complain" about "Men." The problem is NOT "Men." The problem is YOUR "Pick," "Selection" and "Taste" in men. Do you see the difference? Choose "Better" men and you will have "Better" experiences with men. GET IT? I tell all ladies the same thing. Either you appreciate, value and can recognize a "good" man (gentleman) or you don't. If you do, you benefit (win). If you don't, you lose. The smart ones do and the dumb ones don't. WHICH ONE ARE YOU??

=============================================================================

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) & Comments. . .

1) Question: If you are such an amazing guy then why are you still searching or single?

Answer: Good question. Did you read my headline? It says, looking for a "Worthy and Deserving" girl. By this, I mean, "mature," "intelligent," "responsible," "grateful," etc. That's like finding a needle in a haystack. Basically, I'm looking for "quality" over "quantity" so that takes longer to find.

2) Question: Most guys say they are great or a gentleman. How do I know that's really you?

Answer: Good question. I also find that most girls tell me they are a "Good Girl" too or "Worthy and Deserving" but often that's not the case either. Thus, the best and ONLY way to really know if the guy or girl is "great," is by spending a lot of time with them and getting to know them by dating and having conversations, etc. Otherwise, you will never know for sure. This works both ways for men and women. The man has to "test" the woman and vice-versa.

3) Question: Do you really think online dating is a good or serious place to find what you are looking for? Do you really take this serious? Afterall, this is Craigslist.

Answer: What do you have to lose by trying? You never know for certain unless you try. Right? If you have a negative expectation, the results will be the same. Thus, I look at "online" places like Craig's List as another place with "potential" and "possibilities" instead of looking at it from a negative or pessimistic perspective.

4) Question: I'm not in California. I currently live in Dallas, Texas. Is that OK?

Answer: No. If you live "outside" of Southern California it will be very difficult or impossible for a real friendship or relationship requiring an "airplane" for traveling and meeting.

5) Question: We are in different counties, towns or cities. Is that OK?

Answer: Yes. As long as we are both in "Southern" CA. it's not a major problem UNLESS you are unwilling or unable to "drive" --OR- use public transportation including the bus or train. I will drive to you but you must also be able or willing to travel to me and to some equal extent. I may ask you to drive or travel to me on the first meeting to "test" if you are serious. The focus and priority is on the "person" not their distance. If you allow "distance" to distract your attention from the main focus (the two people) or use "distance" as your excuse then DO NOT contact me because you have your priorities and focus out of line. (P.S. I am in the Antelope Valley - Lancaster & Palmdale Area - which is in LA COUNTY). Check the map if you are unfamiliar.

6) Question ("Comment"): I don't want to do any traveling. I want to find someone close to me or in the same city.

Answer: And I wish we lived in a "perfect" world and everything was across the street from my house or within walking distance so none of us would need cars, trains or airplanes. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect or ideal world. This world is full of "challenges" for everyone. Relationships (especially "successful" ones) require enormous time, energy and effort from both man and woman. Relationships are like a full time "JOB." It's NOT "EASY." If you are not able or willing to commit to the challenges of the "job" then you are not ready for the "job." It's that simple. (P.S. If everyone could find someone close to them or across the street, then none of us would need to be looking online for someone. Right? Get it?).

7) Question: What exactly are you looking for?

Answer: A romantic (intimate) relationship and long-term (on-going) girlfriend. This also includes the "possibility" of marriage. Thus, if this is not what you are looking for then you SHOULD NOT contact me. (P.S. I am NOT looking for a Facebook, email, telephone, texting or platonic friend. I am NOT looking for patients or customers either. So don't contact me for anything besides what is described above).

8) Question:I'm a lesbian. I do not date men. Are you cool with meeting someone that wants to be "just friends"?

Answer: See answer #7 above. I am NOT looking for "just friends." You are in the wrong section. This is the romance section called "Men Seeking Women." You should be looking under "STRICTLY PLATONIC."

9) Question: I'm only 18 or 20. Don't you think you are too old for me?

Answer: DEPENDS on your level of "MATURITY," mental growth, intelligence and overall cognitive understanding. If you are MATURE for your age it shouldn't be a problem unless you are still playing with barbie dolls, teddy bears, video games, etc. I'm in my 30's (Between 30-39). I won't tell you my exact age until we meet so don't ask beforehand. Generally speaking the MAN should be OLDER than the woman because females mature or age faster than males (both physically and mentally). This is a scientific fact. For example, females reach puberty on average at age 9 or 10. Males don't reach puberty until 14 or 15 on average. Another reason why bigger or older age gaps work better is because older men have more resources, maturity, education, life experiences, etc., to provide, treat or care for a woman properly. Generally, men under age 40 are still considered "young" while women under 30 are considered "young." Age has a different meaning and consequence for men and women.

10) Question ("Comment"): You sound or seem rude, aggressive, controlling or cocky. Just like my asshole ex-boyfriend or husband.

Answer: And you sound ignorant just like my XXXXX ex-girlfriend. It's ignorant and ridiculous to judge someone so quickly without ever talking to them, meeting them and not even spending 10 minutes with them. Trust me, I am not like your ex-boyfriend or husband. I'm much better. Don't be quick to judge someone (especially negatively) until you really get to know them which takes time.

11) Question: Are you at least 6 foot tall? Do you have any tattoos or piercings?

Answer: NO. And if this is your first focus or priority don't contact me. Instead, you need to FIRST "educate" yourself about the keys to success and happiness in relationships. These are not based on how many tattoos or inches on a ruler.

12) Question: OK, so now what? I emailed you and never got a response back. Will I be sure I will get a response back?

Answer: The ONLY reason(s) you didn't get a response is/are, (1) You did not include ALL "6" items requested, or (2) Your message was rude, disrespectful or sarcastic in some way, or (3) I never got your email. Simply re-send and wait for a response within 24-hours.

13) Question: I am super cute and have a great body. Are you good enough for me?

Answer: Tell me something about yourself that I or other men cannot $$ PURCHASE $$ for a few dollars off the street and you will have my attention. Being cute or attractive is no doubt appealing but NOT sufficient. Sadly and more humorous, most girls think just being "cute" or "pretty" will get them far or that's all they need to be successful with men. Sorry, this is not the case especially with smarter and more intelligent men with resources. We know better and not easily fooled by just a "pretty" girl. You need more than "pretty" ladies, especially if you want something real, serious or long-term with a man.

14) Question: I have tattoos and piercings and sometimes I like to dye my hair different colors. Is that OK with you?

Answer: It's OK. I am more concerned about how you talk and behave with me and if you respect and appreciate a good man. That is the starting point and not how many tattoos you have UNLESS most or entire body is covered in tattoos or piercings or you got them when you were in prison. If so, we need to talk about it some more.

15) Question: Do you drink alcohol like beer or liquor? Do you smoke or do any type of drugs? Do you mind if I do?

Answer: NO and I don't mind if "you" do but this also depends on "your" frequency, type and reason for use or consumption.

16) Question: I like to be "spoiled" and I want to know how much you are going to spend on me. How much?

Answer: You sound like a gold-digger or prostitute. My headline says "Gentleman" or "Professional" it doesn't say $ATM$ Machine. If you are looking for an ATM Machine to finance and "spoil" yourself look somewhere else. You have to appreciate the company of a "gentleman" and at the same time appreciate any amount he spends on you, if any. He has no obligation to spend a dollar on you BUT he MAY depending on what he thinks you are worthy and deserving of (not what you think) and how well you reciprocate and show appreciation for it. If you are focused on his money instead of him or if you are a gold-digger, escort or prostitute don't bother. (P.S. I don't need to be online to find a XXXXX. Many of them walk the streets a few blocks from my house everyday and are easily accessible. Get it?)

17) Question ("Comment"): Sorry, I passed out in bed and wasn't able to call or text you back. Now I am in bed sick, I have a sore throat. My phone battery died too.

Answer: I think I have heard you say that before or that you had to take your dog to the vet or something else. If you have a tendency to make "excuses" for a lot of things, then you probably aren't ready for any friendship or relationship for that manner. So that gives you a hint. If you are an "excuse-maker" don't contact me. It won't get you far with me.

18) Question: Do you have any children? Do you have a wife or ever been married?

Answer: NO.

19) Question: Hey I am looking for someone for my friend or sister and I thought your ad was cool. I want to introduce you to her. Is that OK?

Answer: That's good but I didn't hire you as my "match-finder." Thus, you can have your friend, sister or relative review this page and THEY can contact me directly as they wish. That works better. I am not really interested in talking to the "middle" person nor is that the best way to approach it.

20) Question: What type of music do you like? Do you like dogs? I need to know before I send you any information about myself.

Answer: NO other information about me besides what is already stated here until you supply the "6" items requested. Why? I don't want to spend a lot of time answering your questions UNTIL I know who you are and know you are serious. This will give me confidence that I'm not wasting a lot of time answering questions to a fake or phony person. As of right now, and if you have been reading this far, you know A LOT more about me than I know about you.

21) Question ("Comment"): I can only text or email you -OR- I can't talk much over the phone --OR- I will let you know in a few days when we can meet.

Answer: Seems like you aren't too serious and aren't looking for something real or serious either. If you are looking for a "texting" relationship or uncertain as to what exactly you want, then DO NOT contact me. If you have read this far, it should be clear to you what I am looking for.

22) Question ("Comment"): I am scared of "Internet" dating. I don't meet anyone from the Internet.

Answer: Then why are you on the "Internet" and searching here? You don't get into a car and start driving and then tell your passengers inside the car that you are afraid to drive. Either you are scared or not. Do yourself a favor. On the top right of your screen there is a "Log-Out" or "X" button. Close your screen and turn off your computer and hopefully your fear will go away soon.

23) Question ("Comment"): I am going to be evicted from my house and will be homeless soon. My parents are also going through a divorce and I have to go to Court next week.

Answer: Sounds like you have a lot of personal problems or distractions in your life at the moment. It's best to resolve whatever your personal tragedies or challenges are first and before you pursue a relationship with someone. DO NOT contact me if you are too distracted from personal matters in your life because you are not ready to be in a real/serious relationship.

24) Question ("Comment"): I have to work all this week and my school starts the week after. I am super busy and don't have time to meet or date for some time.

Answer: Similar to answer #23 above. It sounds like you don't have time for a "relationship" either which is like another "JOB." You have to be "available" and willing to set aside time to show up to the "JOB." You have to resolve whatever "outside" distractions or obstacles you have (i.e., other jobs, school, etc) so you can be available for at least 2-3 full days per week and at various times including weekends for dating, hanging out, etc. DO NOT contact me if you are too "busy" or "unavailable" because you are not ready to be in a real/serious relationship. You will not make any progress in that matter and in the area of relationships.

25) Question ("Comment"): I can't date or go out unless my parents give me permission --OR- I have to be home by 10 pm because my parents will get mad --OR- My sister is next to me right now so I can't talk on the phone.

Answer: If you are 18 or 30 years old (legal adult) and your parents or siblings still "control" your decisions, then please don't contact me. I am not looking to "babysit" anyone or let you make me feel I am with a child. You must be "free" from the decision or control of your parents, siblings or anyone else, otherwise this will interfere with the ability to focus on each other WITHOUT outside interference or distractions. This does not mean you shouldn't respect or listen to your parents or other family members or that I am unwilling to meet or talk with them. It means that you should be able to control your own decision making and not tell me "I need to get my mom or dad's permission. . ." or "I can't go out tonight because my parent's or sister won't let me. . ." and things of that sort.

26) Question ("Comment"): When you come pick me up, park down the street and not next to my house because I don't want my parents or anyone to see us --OR- I can't kiss you now because I don't want someone to see us or in the car together.

Answer: Similar to answer #25 above. It sounds like you are under the control of others and/or too immature, shy or embarrassed to be in a romantic relationships and/or concerned about "others" more than you are about "us." I am NOT looking for a "secret, discreet or immature" relationship but something "open," "romantic," "mature," "friendly" and "formal." Get it?

27) Question: Why can't you XXX?! --OR- I want to know why XXX!?.

Answer: Asking questions is fine but "arguing" is NOT attractive. You have a right to disagree BUT if your intention is to "argue," just do us both a favor and don't contact me at all. Men, in general, are TURNED-OFF by aggressive or argumentative woman BECAUSE it is characteristic of a traditional "masculine" person and NOT someone feminine. Have you heard of the "Bitch" stereotype? That's what I mean. When men date the opposite sex they don't want to feel they are with another man but with a female. If this is your style, please DO NOT contact me because we won't get along.

28) Question: I don't think I'm your type or will have any chance with you. Should I still contact you?

Answer: You are welcomed and encouraged to contact me UNLESS you are not serious, don't like or disagree with anything I have stated in this ad or profile.

- $800 Bedroom Available (Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

If anyone is interested, I'm renting out my bedroom in Williamsburg, Brooklyn immediately. I apologize for the short notice. The apartment features a kitchenette, a large (by New York standards, ha ha) bathroom, and a roommate that's going to have some opinions on Syria.

I'd like to return to my apartment, but I know that as soon as I do, I'll be confronted by a roommate with opinions on the Syrian conflict and a determination to share them with me. The apartment has high ceilings and exposed brick along the far wall. At only $800/month it's a steal for the location.

I won't listen to your god damn opinions on Syria, Mike. I won't do it.

Situated between the L, JMZ, and G trains, it's convenient no matter where you work and the neighborhood is loaded with great restaurants and bars. It never ends with Syria. It just keeps going until he's shared every opinion he has and then he just circles back and repeats. Utilities included.

As for me, I haven't been home in a week. I've been staying late at work, and then grounding myself at a bar until last call. Then I wander the streets until dawn breaks. Cold, afraid, and lonely; content only in knowing that I don't have to talk to my roommate about Syria.

Oh really, Mike? "Apathy towards the Middle East is bankrupting this nation's morality"? Stop using my shampoo.

The room is available immediately as I will never return. It comes fully furnished with a bed, a desk, my laptop, all my clothing, irreplaceable family photos, and little mementos from ex-girlfriends that I just can't bring myself to throw away. It's all yours. No security deposit necessary.

So please respond with a brief description of yourself and your usual schedule. Sorry, but there's no smoking inside the apartment, but there is rooftop access with views of the New York skyline. Perfect for sunbathing or just enjoying a beer -- though my roommate may trap you up there and suck you into a conversation about Syria. No pets.

Also I am currently in the market for a new apartment myself. So if you are renting out or know anyone who is, please let me know. I'm very flexible, all I ask is that there's some form of public transportation nearby -- providing access to lower Manhattan. And no roommate with opinions on Syria.

NICKELBACK TRIBUTE SEEKING THE RADDEST BASS PLAYER (Clackamas)

Chad Kroeger and Daniel Adair are looking for our Mike Kroeger to play bass in the raddest Nickelback tribute band ever! Kick lameness to the CURB and prepare to take THE STATE fucking hostage, as we take this DARK HORSE down THE LONG ROAD of awesomeness HERE AND NOW for ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. . .. . .We are gonna hit the stage SILVERSIDE UP with a tribute to Nickelback releasing their double album of greatest hits. Lets grab Portland and Seattle by the balls!!! No one admits it but the fact is everyone secretly loves Nickelback. . ...It's like Jim Gaffigan says, "how did Mcdonalds sell a billion cheeseburgers if no one ever eats there???" I say the same to all you fuckin' hipsters! How did the greatest band in the world that everyone loves to hate, sell over 50 million records if no one likes them. . .. . .I have the panache and the tones of Chad down pat. I have studied his succulent mastery of rock and can pull off all of his amazing rock moves right down to his lion mane of golden curly hair. I will grab your girlfriend by the throat and softly sing her white trash sexual innuendos in my sultry Canadian baritone, while playing lightning out of my Mesa triple rectifier of doom. My drummer has worshipped at the altar of 3 Doors Down and then followed Daniel as he metamorphosed into the hard rock equivalent of multiple female orgasms that is Nickelback. . ...We just need the best Bassist in Portland!

I have some requirements:

must not be really old (like 38 or something)
NO hipsters, if you like PBR you are out!!
No hipster mustaches, even if they look good from multiple angles
No girls at practice! leave Yoko at home, she can come flash her titties at shows!
No Gays, No offense, we love the gays....but Nickelback practices a heterosexual conservative Christian Canadian lifestyle
MUST BE AWESOME, we are and so must you be!

So if you have an amazing bass rig, look like a rockstar, and know you need to be part of something that is bigger than life itself email us

4WD
AUTOMATIC Transmission
Bright Red
Straight Stock
Crank Windows, no cruise, no tilt, no delay wiper, no nonsense
POWER MIRRORS! Woo Hoo!

$1750

Here's the deal, kids:
This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.
It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures.

If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.

If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate?
Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."?
While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."?
Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun?
Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail?
When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project?
Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage?
-could you not care less?
Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone?
Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned?
Do you still miss your first ride?
Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks?
Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars?
Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion?

If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.

DETAILS:
-I am the second owner. First owner barely got it dirty and engaged the front axles once.
-I have remedied this excessive caretaking with muddy roads and a pile of fun.
-The motor uses a little oil. How much? I don't know, I'm not collecting statistical analysis points.
I check the oil, I fill the oil, I drive. Not enough to bother me.
-It leaks a little oil. How much? Not enough for me to care. It has 220,000 miles, Poindexter!
If you have a vehicle with 220K NOT leaking or burning oil, it's empty!
-Rear bumper has a big-ass crease in it. I dented it backing into a concrete pole. Sober.
We drove away giggling, for the record. Haven't fixed it.
-Driver's side door was caught by the wind, whipped forward, got into the LF quarter panel.
-Radiator has a small leak. Pinhole. I can replace the radiator or you can. Really doesn't matter
A new radiator and hoses will run $145. If you don't want to replace them I will.
Add $250 to the price of vehicle. This includes radiator, hoses, and labor (beer). A freaking bargain.
-The badass little 4.0L bullet-proof in-line six starts and runs like the proverbial champ.
-Tranny and 4WD operate perfectly
-Tires will need replaced in a couple thousand miles. I haven't upgraded because I had plans:
Had planned a small lift, upgrade to 17" Wrangler wheels, and more aggressive tires.
Life got in the way - it ain't happening.
-Zombie stickers on the right rear window stay. My daughter's idea, take it up with her.
-Flogging Molly sticker stays as well. They kick ass, so there.

QUESTIONS:
-Why are you selling?
I can't justify owning it anymore. Motorsickles, kiddos, work, travel, and beer have consumed my time and money.
Someone else needs to appreciate the Jeep for what it is: awesome mechanical artistry.

-What's wrong with it?
Radiator. Small oil leaks. Driver's side door cosmetic issues.
And it's pissed it has been neglected and parked. It needs rescued.

-Does the 4WD work?
Hell yes. Like a Dickensian Orphan.

-Will you sell me the [engine / tranny / rear door / axle / etc.]?
No. I'm not in the salvage business. Buy the Jeep. Love the Jeep. Give the Jeep a home.

-Will you take [insert ridiculously stupid low number here]?
No. If I wanted [ridiculously low number] I would have asked [ridiculously low number]
Want a cheap car? Get your kid that lowered tuner piece of shit honda project down the road.
I think I'm plenty cheap for this bad mofo.

-Why is it still stock?
Because I bought it for a daily driver with the intention of turning it into a project.
I haven't had the time to do so. So I am selling it.

-Can I put a 6" lift and giant tires on it?
I don't give a shit. But be sure to use quality components and for God's sake - get it aligned after a lift!

-Would this make a good car for my daughter?
Hell. Yes. Not only a good car, a learning experience. Introduction to vehicular maintenance.
Additionally, there isn't really enough room in the back for that little bastard she's dating to try anything.

-Can you deliver?
Within reason. I'd drive it a hundred miles or so. But really, you should come get it. Look it over. Have a beer. Etc.

-Will you take a check / cashier's check / Western Union Transfer / Nigerian Promissory Note?
Would you take a ball pein hammer to the forehead?
No. I'll take Cash. Period. Bring cash or don't show.

-Will you ship to -?
No. See above.

-No, really, all I have is [lowball dollar amount]?
That's great, I don't give a shit. Unicef ain't running this deal, and until they do I want $1750.
Why? Because I don't HAVE to sell this little beauty. Truth be known, I'd rather keep it.
But if it's going to a good home - I will sell. Unless you're an asshole - then no sale.

-Why are you such a dick?
Everything is relative; you should see my friends.

Any other questions, feel free to reply to this email and ask.

17.2 Lbs of Ex-Girlfriend's Yarn - $250 (Bothell/Canyon Park)

When you talk about distributing yarn by the "stone," you might have a problem.

Well, I had 100 problems, and now I have 99 problems. The person responsible for these 17.2 lbs of yarn ain't one. You can make it so I have 98 problems. Pictured is all the yarn I could find in the house. I think there are some knitting needles in there too.

That's right. With all the painstaking, loyal, monogamous, and patient love I showed throughout this failed relationship, I carefully laid out all of the yarn and photographed it. I had other girls offering to help, but no, like all my problems, I handled this one on my own, because I was a good guy. Don't think I'm exaggerating about the weight of this yarn. I weighed it on a scale. Though usually I lie and say things look like they weigh far less than they actually weigh, just to be kind, because lately things sometimes looked like they weighed a lot more than they did when I met them.

In one of the photos, I even included one of the two demon cats my ex-girlfriend brought against my will into my home. We can say I included them for scale. There are a lot of different types of yarn. Some of it is colorful, or multi-colored, and is pretty. Some of it is not and has been used to start some of the hideous projects you see before you. Look at that grey and red hat. Who would wear that? What was she thinking? My living room floor looks like Trouble with Tribbles. I don't know as much about yarn as I know about Star Trek, but it seems pretty nice overall.

I mean, its in good shape. It wasn't damaged, when, for example, she put my half-smoked cigar back in humidor, ruining all my remaining cigars. It also wasn't damaged when she poured screen-cleaning solution all over her laptop, then got all surprised when that damaged the laptop, which I had to replace.

She claimed the yarn she left is worth $500 to $600. But she has this "Rainman" attitude toward money so it's probably worth somewhere between $300 and the value of the U.S. National Debt. I just want it out. Make me an offer on the demon cats, too, if you like. I might even give you a discount on the yarn. It's not their fault they're demon cats, it's her fault.

She kept talking about how the yarn was "high-end." Maybe that's why I had thousands of dollars of credit card bills from "ravelry.com" and other such life-destroying sites. Did you know you can get a credit card even if you have horrible credit and no job? I didn't know that. Did you know you can also over-draft a debit card account, even after checking the option at the bank to not allow you to do that, if you shop online? I didn't know that either. Screw you, Paypal. Did you know you could open credit card accounts in other people's names? But I digress.

The yarn must have been nice, because she would never leave the house to work, or walk my dog, who used to be a good dog before she started spoiling him and confusing him about everything, and now he's nervous and neurotic. She also was too busy with the yarn to take the trash to the curb, and didn't seem to have time to do any of the housework either. Most of the yarn isn't labeled, but some of it is. Some of it is even still in its packaging, I guess just in case she decided she suddenly needed this brand new package of yarn and there was some sort of crop-shortage in yarn-land so she had to buy it in advance.

The yarn takes up a lot of space. That's probably why she always said there was no room to put any of her stuff away in my 2000 square foot house with a two-car garage and a hot tub, where she lived for free, had all her bills including insurance paid by me, and didn't pay any rent and still complained all the time demanding more jewelry. It's currently carefully stuffed into four double-bagged garbage bags for your transporting convenience. The yarn, not the house. I've gotten good about stuffing things in garbage bags lately.

Email me and ask for Tom.

Lil Wayne wanted (DC-MD-VA)
Date: 2009-06-12, 12:27PM EDT

My son is turning 16 and really wanted Lil Wayne to perform for his birthday gala. Unfortunately his schedule will not permit him to make it. I need a Lil Wayne impersonator desperately.

Here is the kicker my son is blind so you do not need to look like the rapper just sound like him. I understand he grunts and mumbles a lot. I don’t care if you are 67 and Jewish if you can sing the songs you’re hired. Money is not an issue. Name your price. Interested individuals please let me know your rap experience, video of you performing as Lil Wayne would be better. If that is not feasible we can arrange for a live audition.

Serious inquiries only, this is very important to my family. Young Money Baby!

Hello, this nice private/spacious room has opened up for temporary, but long term renting. It is private because it has a private entrance; many love it because it's like walking into your own apartment, not like many other rooms that are up for rent where you have to pass by other rooms/ people to get to yours. The size space is nice; it's 17 ½ long and 13 inches wide.

Available for rent: one futon, left open on the street in the rain. Futon features water resistant "pleather" covering- dries easily with quick wipe of the hand (open to the sky though, so water may come back if it keeps raining). 360 degree views of neighborhood, open to sky (for stargazing!). Friendly neighbors who walk past on the way to work, the grocery store, and everywhere because futon is in the street. Futon itself is completely private, area around futon is the outdoors and so is not private at all. Great for kicking back with a cup of coffee in the morning when not raining, snowing, or cold. Terrible at all other times.

Really good band seeks manager (midtown)

We don't sound like other bands!! Our rapper/keyboardist is a crazy genius and he can play Beethoven sonatas! He kinda sounds like Tupac when he raps though!! We also have a crazy punk rocker front man (very charismatic) who plays saxophone which is ME!!! Our drummer is crazy and he's in the vikings drum line!! he's so legit! all three of us went to music school and our jazz professor taught us right!!! we are NOT chumps!! and our bass player has never taken a lesson in his life but he's like Flea reincarnated!! he just feels it, i swear. I promise you, we don't suck!! do you think I'd waste your time if we sucked?? No!

We are literally crazy enough to be famous, I promise you!! why are we crazy??!! well, we're entertaining when we argue and we are all SOBER STRAIGHT EDGE!! what the fuck?? who does that!! and we don't swear in any of our songs!! what the hell? well, we don't want to be famous, that would suck. But so many festival hippies would groove to this! I swear!!! You gotta hear it!! it jams HARD.

the POINT is though, we are looking for a manager who is not some corporate chump!! we are fucking DIY as hell and have the work ethic of RHINOS! I am also a networking juggernaut (fo real) !!! we've all read a shit ton of books about branding making it as an indie band and stuff, so we're legit!! not that it matters but we're also really good looking! for real!!!!

the reason we need a manager is cause we need some HELP! we need someone with A LOT OF connections and is good at writing emails that look way better than this fucking piece of shit AD! we need someone who knows who the fuck black flag is! and who charlie parker is!! if this sounds like you, HIT ME UP! I'm fucking serious. come grind with us.

For sale: The greatest investment emotionally and financially I have ever made.

I'd always wanted one but hadn't the funds nor the drive to get it. Then I got a job. So did my two roommates. Convincing the first roommate was easy. For the second I had to make a Powerpoint. End Result? I'm pretty persuasi- just kidding it's a ballpit it sold itself.

It's probably worth it for the PVC rectangular enclosure alone. The crossbars are designed to be shoulder height when leaning against the sides. Plus, it comes apart easily, as it's held together with friction (no glue). But don't buy it for the enclosure. You should buy it because it's a ballpit. Soon to be your ballpit.

Emotional Writer Needed For Support Community for Affluent Individuals (Boston)

compensation: $30 per post
contract job
telecommuting okay

Special community for people who have earned a lot of money or been born into a wealthy family needs a blog ghostwriter. The focus of the community is providing psychological support for the problems money brings -- family tensions, unfulfillable expectations, boredom, etc. To do this you must be intimately familiar with the problems faced by wealthy people. If you grew up wealthy or through some other means can write detailed blog posts on this topic, please get in touch.

The posts need to be highly personal, emotional and have a strong editorial voice. These are anything but generic lectures. We are looking for 3 posts per week and each post pays $30. If you're interested, please send a brief cover letter with some suggested topics so we can see that you really can come up with specific topics which touch the hearts of people from affluent families along with some writing samples of your personal, emotionally charged writing. It should all be pasted into the body of the email. We can't open attachments. Thanks!

This sword is from the 1700s. I got it at an antique store in my memaw's home town back in 1984. The person who sold it to me told me to be careful because there is a 90+% chance that it is cursed. Since it's been in my house my life has descended into pure chaos. My knitting group came over and they all said they could feel a strange energy in my sword room (I have a collection of over 100 swords. This is my only haunted sword). Since i got this sword, about 3 times a week a crucifix will fall off of my wall for no reason. I am 76 years old. I cannot have this cursed item in my house anymore. Please take it off my hands!!

For a bassist, we need someone that can come up with creative lines, and not just simply play the root notes of the guitar all the time. As I am a fan of Steve Harris and Geddy Lee, I would love for the bass to really stand out in the songs. You'll also have to be comfortable switching around tunings (or just use an octave pedal to make it all easier).

For a drummer, we need someone skilled, tight, can get crazy at times, but knows when enough is enough. Fills and flourishes are great, but please, don't do it in every single measure! Double bass is a must, no matter how well you can do 16th notes with one foot, and using at least four toms would be a big plus. To make matters easier, I have an eight-piece Tama Superstar that you can use at practice, and even shows.

I probably shouldn't do this, in case this is some ilxor's posting, but the incongruity between these band requirements and the Casiotone For The Painfully Yowly demo they posted has me lolling:

Need Help From People Of Lakeview (reward)

(Broadway/Stratford)age: 36

I am writing this message to anyone that might have been in Lakeview Thursday night around 9pm.

Specifically I am looking for anyone who was by Stratford and Broadway, which was where my car was parked.

Obviously I have a large degree of humility when writing this because I am seeking people out here to see if anyone has any information about who may have taken a gigantic shit on the windshield of my brand new Tesla Model X.

This is not a joke.

I was on a date with a girl, one who was very conservative. It was our third date and when we walked out, sure enough we saw that someone had taken a very large shit on my windshield comprised of two sizable logs and smaller ball which rolled down to my wipers. Pee was not visible leading me to believe that *perhaps* someone had shit in a container at home and then threw it on my car later.

Now I know a lot of people might find this funny but my date was really traumatized by the whole thing and I have zero leads. What's more, the CPD "absolutely refused" to help me, a tax paying citizen, clean the shit off of my car. But they obviously didn't hesitate to tell me I could not drive with the poop on my windshield because it would obstruct my visibility. I had to use a redeye magazine and a bottle of water to clean it off and that sucked.

I am looking for solid intelligence in regards to anyone who might have seen anything. Do not reply with a car type you think you saw or a suggestion. I am writing this to someone who saw something in particular or perhaps, someone who indeed knows the person who pulled this stupid joke on me. As for the latter, if you were willing to leak the name of the person who did this, I promise you that I would spare you of all legal charges and physical retaliation. However I will plan on ruling out you with DNA for I have kept a sample of the shit for I can see someone trying to pull another fast one on me. And trust me, that is not going to happen.

Taking dumps on a person's car is something children do, not adults. And although from time to time, I could see why someone deserves it, this was absolutely uncalled for. And I think it says a lot about the people of Lakeview and those that work at The Rocks (the staff there laughed at me when I told them what h.appened). You are all pieces of shit for watching this happen and doing nothing, probably watching there as some jerk tossed a giant shit on my windshield or perhaps you even saw it drop from his or her butthole as the pee was collected separately, which still makes sense so they wouldn't slip on the pee after it was all said and done.

Listen closely. I am offering a significant compensation to anyone who has good solid intelligence that I will handle in my own way. I am not going to mention dollar amounts here but I work in the medical community and trust me when I say I think the amount I have in mind will not disappoint. After all, I do own a Tesla.

Lastly, a message to the person who did this: I will find you. Do you understand me? I have already had my lawyer draft up subpoenas to acquire footage from nearby security cameras amongst other things. Personally, I think you need medical attention to do what you have done. I am so greatly saddened this city has been over run by thugs and poor people who are having too many children. I cannot be surprised that Donald Trump is doing so well when I see my car had someone shit or toss shit on it in clear view of the public. And maybe he should be doing well if he is better suited at taking on the maniacs who have been overrunning this once great city.

Good Intel on who did this = Good money

I'll end on that.

If Contacts: I will tell you the name of the movie. I just can't list it on Craigslist because I don't know the legality of me listing a movie that I want to rip. Preferably someone close by to Burlington Township. I don't want someone driving 40-50 miles to help me out. I appreciate anyone that wants to help but I don't want to feel bad that you would have to spend $$$ to get to me.

If anyone could be kind of enough to be able to drive to my house and bring their laserdisc player with them and allow for me to rip a rare movie I'd be grateful. You can have a copy of the movie after I rip it but I do ask that you don't upload it online. Not only is that illegal but lets have a little respect for those that collect laserdiscs. Someone screwed me out of a laserdisc player I paid online and refused to ship it after I bought it. Ebay lets sellers treat buyers like shit. I have no money so I can only compensate by food and drinks plus a rip of this laserdisc movie. You can chill at my house while it rips the movie. The movie only about an hour and half long. The ripping software I use is Elgato standard edition. I am pretty sure this rips laserdiscs since laserdisc players use the same cords as vhs players I believe. Thanks again and hopefully I run into luck with someone willing to help me out. I have healthy food in my house because I'm a fitness nut and I also have unhealthy food in my house. For legal purposes I won't list the movies name on here because I don't want to get sued. I just want to be able to watch the movie in good quality. I know that laserdisc quality is superior to vhs. There's certain movies that have only been released for laserdisc and vhs. These movies most likely won't ever get a dvd or bluray release.

We are looking for someone to identify what food is on people's plates by looking at their pictures. This job can be done at home from your computer.

For example, for the burrito picture above, we'd expect you recognize that it contains a tortilla, eggs, beans, bell peppers, salt, and pepper; and then estimate how much of each ingredient is there.

Again, hourly rate depends on how efficient you are at recognizing food and its ingredients, so $10/hr is not guaranteed, but should be easy to surpass and make more if you're into food

http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/fuo/5792113588.html

This dresser has served me well for years but my partner haaaaaates it, and it's time for me and the dresser to part ways. It's in fair condition -- works fine as a dresser, but has some cosmetic stains (stains all pictured). It's kinda nuts looking, but perfect if this is your style.

I asked some friends if they wanted the dresser and they described the style of it as:

"this looks like a dresser auctioned off after michael jackson died"
"this looks like where cake boss keeps his strap ons"
"this looks like a dresser that would belong to a character from the board game Candy Land"
"this looks like a dresser an orthodontist designed after visiting Monticello"
"'this is a tasteful and good piece of furniture' - Jon Taffer"
"this looks like the place a widow stored the last piece of cake from her wedding"
"this looks like a dresser Uday Hussein bought for his freshman dorm"
"this looks like set dressing the Gideons use to practice hiding bibles"
"this looks like a dresser a corrupt government administrator would buy on Overstock.sy"
"this looks like the place where you photograph your everyday carry knives"
"this looks like what you bought after you didn't make marching band"
"Every drawer you open on this dresser reveals another row of Precious Moments™ figurines lying in their own coffins."
"this looks like steve jobs' yacht"
"this looks like the place where your wrote your first letter to ralph nader"
"When you go into the store and ask the clerk if there's any furniture that repels having sex on top of it."
"I'd pick it up, but I'm not sure it's cool with the ghost trapped inside it of the girl who brushed her hair in front of it every night repeating, 'They'll see, one day I'm going to be a star.'"
"this looks like it has "katy perry loves jesus christ" carved on the top"
"It turns out all the drawers are a false-front, and one of the Babysitters Club was sex trafficked in this."
"this looks like fred phelps' craft station"
"Shailene Woodley eats a part of a dresser just like this every day for the cellulose."
"this looks like two of the ovens betsy ross committed suicide in"
"i didn't know the zach brown band furniture line was already out"

[They are not my friends anymore.]

DIMENSIONS:
52"W x 18"D x 30"H

PROs:
- All 6 drawers work.
- Made from some sort of solid material, not particle board.
- Cool weird handles

CONs:
- Top has some drips on the top from a home eyebrow waxing kit (pictured). You can probably scrape it off with a little nail polish remover and a scraper; I was too lazy to bother.
- Is permanently slightly dirty looking. If you're feeling generous, you could call this "distressed"; it's just sort of how it looks. Like, it's never going to be gleaming while.

TO GET THIS COOL DRESSER:
You will need your own transportation, and help getting it out of my apartment. It's on the 3rd floor of a building (2 flights of stairs). The drawers come out, which means it'll be less heavy to carry. I can help you carry it, but it's a 2 person job.

I'm looking for local performers to make a profit off of my collection habit. I want to collect your broken drum sticks, worn out sneakers, broken guitar strings, and crumpled set lists. In the off chance you become famous in the long run, they could accrue value. If you don't become famous, it was a bad investment on my part and it's my loss. Simple prices I'll pay:

Broken sticks: $3 ea.
Broken strings: $3 ea.
Old set lists: $10 ea.
Old sneakers/footwear worn for shows: $40-$80 per pair.

This is a serious offer. You can stash your items and sell them to me over time, using me as a source of income. Please email me if you and your band are interested.

---Interviewing daily---

Hi and thx for visiting.

We're two 30-something executives living in the city with a sweet medium-sized, hypoallergenic dog. Work is crazier than ever which means that we don't have time to maintain our personal lives. We've finally accepted that we need a full-time (or part-time) personal assistant.

THE PROBLEM:
----------------------

We're resorting to unhealthy take-out and processed foods -- anything we can grab and munch on in-between working on our computers, we aren't getting enough sleep (8 hrs/night is a must but rarely achieved), that very cute dog I mentioned doesn't have someone to play with daily, personal social media accounts are neglected, I buy fresh flowers but don't have time to trim daily and change the water, indoor plants are dying, vacations and fun trips aren't taken because there's no time to plan them, dirty laundry is neglected until we run out of clean clothes to wear, merchandise that should be returned doesn't get returned, phone calls to customer support don't get made, prescriptions aren't refilled, instead of dry cleaning something it will just never be worn again, pants that are too long never get hemmed, that cute dog doesn't get taught new tricks or get his coat brushed out as often as it needs to be, things that we're meaning to order don't get ordered, items slated for donation sit in a corner for months, groceries aren't put away into the cabinet, the sink is eternally filled with soaking dishes/pots/pans, picture frames hang on the wall with no photos inside, the closet is in need of reorganization, appointments aren't scheduled, information isn't updated, nail polish gets chipped and remains chipped, investment opportunities go un-researched, and that crucial"date night" consists of collapsing onto the sofa and watching a movie because we're so exhausted from the work week.

Does the idea of helping us to go from zero to hero in all of the above areas make you smile OR cringe?

For the cringers, feel free to exit now :) Good luck with your search!

For the smilers, you're making me so happy. I know that you're going to help us so much.

THE SOLUTION:
----------------------

Our ideal full-time (or part-time) personal assistant is chill but also gets sh*t done.

Ideally, you have experience being a personal assistant for a CXO in the past (and you really liked it).

You aren't dramatic or tightly wound, however, you're also not lazy or sloth-like (nothing against sloths). You're level-headed and your friends think you have great judgment. You're down to earth, not cocky, humble, and always willing to admit when you're wrong. You aren't too stubborn to apologize. You don't get defensive and deflect. You own your mistakes and see them as opportunities to improve. You have confidence in yourself and although you are very empathetic, you rarely get overwhelmed by your emotions. You aren't dramatic and you aren't having regular melt-downs. You're warm, welcoming, and always down for a good time. You take pride in your work quality (no matter what it is -- big or small) and believe everything you create is a reflection of you and your character/abilities so you want it to be good. You notice inefficiencies and tend to find ways to save time, streamline, or automate where you can. You're observant and detail-oriented. You always know where your keys are or where your wallet is because you make it a point to place them in the same place. You have a great memory and rarely have to say "Oh, I forgot." You believe that there's a place for everything and everything should be in its place. You're naturally organized and clean. You don't like messiness. You feel compelled to straighten items if they're crooked. Aesthetics, design, and beauty in life are things that you notice and appreciate. It genuinely makes you happy to help others and make others smile. You find it rewarding to do things for others. (If you don't feel this way, you will either hate this role or it will be awkward for us because you won't seem happy.) Your friends think that you're the one in your group who has their act together the most in terms of being responsible, responsive, and risk-averse. You take pride in working smart vs. working hard. You do things well AND you do it as quickly as possible. You consistently strive for both quality and speed. You like to laugh and your friends think you can be funny. You smile and/or laugh when you tell a joke or say something humorous (dry senses of humor need not apply)! You care about visual presentation and delivery of your words. You enjoy making things look nice. You enjoy making things smell nice. You have a kind heart and try to not be selfish. You are generous with your attention and love. You are a strong communicator and can tell an engaging story. If something needs to get done, you find a way. You're very comfortable with technology and devices. You use your smartphone all the time. You use your laptop all the time. Google is your best friend. You take pride in how you look -- whatever that "look" or style may be for you. At the same time, you also want to be practical and functional (e.g., you're "bohemian chic" but avoid the giant wedges that will prevent you from hustling around town, you're "cool hipster" but don't wear the super tight jeans that won't leave you room in your pockets to hold my dog's potty bags, you're totally "minimalistic modern" but avoid the white on white look so you're not afraid to get dirty when cooking, etc.)

Wanted woman who wants to conceive child during totality eclipse in OR (concord / pleasant hill / martinez)

I am 40 years of age, caucasian male from Europe. My heritage is strong and pure.

My looks, instincts, knowledge and strength is 100% pure and 100% lethal.

I am looking for a worthy female with strong genes, beauty and smarts. To join me - to experience the totality eclipse in Oregon.

Exact place not set.

If we have chemistry, I would like for us to make love while the eclipse is happening.

When totality occurs, we will have simultaneous orgasms and we will conceive a child that will be on the next level of human evolution.

We will make love together, with me and my penis directed towards the sun.
Everything will be aligned in the local universe.
Both of our cosmic orgasmic energy will be aligned with the planets.

In a brief moment of ecstasy, we will understand everything, and together, create a new universe. Full of love...

You must like cats. Drugs are OK. Nitrous Oxide while we climax and experience totality and conception, is OK with me.

US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day.

To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!

Next step after Craigslist shutting down dating related to ^^:

And Backpage is gone.

This is a genuinely terrifying day for anyone who relied on Backpage & Cracker to connect with potential clients.

This move specifically impacts low-income trans, queer and POC sex workers - the workers most at risk of abuse, who most NEED these spaces.

Looking to get rid of 40 full-sized wax figures in Amish wardrobe. They're simply taking up too much space.

Varying sizes, ages and details on these figures.

There are 5 female figures, 3 children figures, about 32 male figures and 1 dog. Five of the men and the dog are mechanical. The parts are removable and some are disassembled but can be assembled for viewing.

Was hoping to sell these but it would really just be helpful to get them out of my shop.

Text or call any time. Willing to help with delivery

FREE EMBALMING FLUID (Los Angeles)

The guy on Reddit over-estimated how much I'd need for my Mom and her Pomeranian, so I have six quarts of leftover embalming fluid. It's currently at my life-coach's in Beaumont, so I'll need at least 48 hours advance notice. Willing to trade the very well preserved Pomeranian for a hammock. If interested in just the fluid, text or email a photo of Don Garlits. If interested in just the Pomeranian, text or email a trade offer, along with a photo of Artis Gilmore. If interested in both the fluid and the Pomeranian, text or email an offer, along with a photo of Dino Stamatopoulos. Serious replies only.

Large music library looking for safe, secure, long term home. Senior rock and roll drummer (without a set!) Also seeking a place to call home. Together would be nice but the library is in storage and I want to get it out. Willing to pay some rent, and share the resource. Interested in starting a music appreciation program also. Music is best when shared.

StarTribune poster of Paul Molitor's 3,000 hit. Not mint. Some wrinkles from damage during a move. 24" X 18".
I am selling most of my MN Twins items here.
Health issues are forcing me to begin to liquidate my estate.
I know my family will not abide by my final wishes, so I am
trying to sell here.
If something were to happen to me, my family would simply back a U-Haul up to the door, toss EVERYTHING into boxes, and haul it to Goodwill.
After that they will have a party and dance on my grave.

HOW have I never seen "Pittsburgh's James Joyce" before today? Dying.

I hope he was able to taste her hair and bobs and buy her a meal at Arby's on McKnight Road.
