Craigslist hilarity

Of course, swapping out Rick Moranis for yourself would be preferred.

and hopefully that you like Cheerios.

We had this one (or similar) already. It's someone with a giantess fetish.

How rude.

What was pressing awfully hard into what?

Something long and pointy that isn't a staff or a spear?

"You - WOW blond wizard. Me - ancient wizard."

I can only picture him as Professor Farnsworth in a wizard cape. For some reason.

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.

If he were in his early 20s I would just think he was being a corny indie fuck, but there's something really depressing about that coming from a 42 year old.

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

And this is when the jingle starts to play. (Really, this does sound like a commercial for some frightfully pretentious instant coffee mix.)

would you be more creeped out than flattered by coming across a missed connection aimed at y'all?

(Insert all of the ILX posts I've made since late May here.)

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of.

Christine, you are not self-consciously twee -- I think that's what made that depressing to me.

sometimes I think "musicians" must be the most depressing section of craigslist. It's all like people thinly disguising their delusions of grandeur and dreams of superstardom behind vague language ("get in touch and we'll just jam and see what happens") and lists of gear. There isn't even really like one example I could pull out because it's just so pervasive and overwhelming

^^^ this, except often their delusions are not disguised whatsoever. My favorites are the "bands" looking for everything: guitar, keys, bass, drums.." It's usually one crazy dude who has already named the "band" and needs enablers.

fine summary of how most musicians live theirs lives iirc (XP)

fresh original project-NO EGOS>>>JUST MUSIC>>>>>>MUSIC IS LIFE
We have a full studio(future home to NOWHERE RECORDS).... a capable guitar/bassist/vocalist/recording engineer and well versed keyboard/pianist/song writer

IN NEED of a ALL STYLES drummer...or at least willing to learn all...AND a female vocalist that plays ???violin-guitar-bass-drums-mandolin-sax-cello...And lyrics a plus....so ONLY SERIOUS REPLY...AND SERIOUS I MEAN -READY TO TOUR THE US

I can provide an apartment for each of you as well as meals and gear...This is NOT a part time project....I would like to see 30-60 hours a week spent rehearsing and recording

styles to be covered are ALL...the list is long so I wont even start...it will fall back to rock based...I MEAN ALL STYLES>>FROM BACH TO ERTHRA KITT TO BELA FLECK TO LED ZEPPELIN TO HANK WILLIAMS

HAHA!

I can provide an apartment for each of you as well as meals and gear.

i like how grandiose this sounds, and how in actual fact it is coming from a guy with four extra sleeping bags

And an envelope of carefully-clipped 2-for-1 coupons at Taco Bell, KFC, etc.

("ERTHRA KITT")

a female vocalist that plays ???violin-guitar-bass-drums-mandolin-sax-cello

There actually is a Chicago-based Nowhere Records that likely has no relation (their website is properly spelled and punctuated, at any rate.) Guessing this dude didn't Google to see if anyone else had the same name as his fantasy project.

FROM BACH TO ERTHRA KITT

So close to "Urethra Kitt" it's painful.

I was thinking Urethra, but also Mothra.

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.

this is one of those things where someone should just leave a pleasant random interaction as a pleasant random interaction. man i see so many girl problems on that site.

You would need a van or truck in order to move this.

Huh.

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.

You: Homeboy in a hoodie that tried to steal my purse as I was walking out of CVS last night.
Me: The blonde purse holder that kneed you in the nuts and then proceeded to kick you in the ear while you were writhing on the ground.

I feel that we got off on the wrong foot. Maybe after your testes descend and you get out of jail, we can do lunch?
