The deadline to register a mutant vehicle/art car is coming up fast! May 15th. We don&#39;t want to see this fun mutant vehicle sidelined for another burn. We&#39;ve reduced the price down to basically cover our storage fees. Call your friends! Call your campmates! Get on it!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fellow Burners, did you get a ticket? Are you tired of having to bike all over the Playa? Do you miss some awesome art because it&#39;s too far away? Do you have a large camp that would like to hang out together? Do you really like milk and cereal? Then look no further. See Burning Man from a different angle. We&#39;ve built the largest moving carton of milk and bowl of cereal in the world. And you can own it. It&#39;s a great way to meet people and be the party wherever you go. Maybe you saw it on the Playa at Burning Man in 2010 where it got both night and day licenses. The mutant vehicle/ art car consists of: - An 8x8 foot, 25 foot tall milk carton tower that holds 4+ people - A ten foot diameter fiberglass cereal bowl couch that seats 10+ - 80 custom made cereal shaped pillows for chilling out in the bowl with friends, old and new. - A lighted spoon ladder to get into the cereal bowl from the ground. - An irresistible fiberglass slide to get from the carton back down to the Playa. - A lighting extravaganza (bowl is rope-light lined inside and out, carton contains a bazilliion (4000) individual LED lights so you can be seen at night). The vehicle is driven from the upper carton area with it&#39;s own steering wheel, gas/brake control, and emergency kill switch, but the original vehicle driving position is still an option, if preferred (and with a spotter). You can&#39;t tell from anywhere on the outside, but the art car is based on a &#39;92 Ford Explorer. It starts and runs just like a daily driver. The suspension has been modified with aftermarket off road parts to increase it&#39;s capacity. It rides on 31in off road tires and comes with two full sized spares. One in the stock location and another that can be kept at camp. The vehicle is not street legal. And it no longer has a usable VIN #. It currently resides in Oakland.

His name is Captain Morgan, yes he has a popular alcoholic beverage named after him.<br> <br> This guy attracts attention, especially from the ladies. He's super old, just kind of sits in the bottom of his tank and only swims around when you tap on the aquarium to give him dinner. AND OF COURSE once you tap he swims right to the surface, cuter than a freaking beagle eating a cupcake. <br> <br> Like I said, super old, in fact his age is unknown. If he could talk, he would say things like 'Back in Nam,' 'Get off my grass!', and 'Where's my prune juice!?' Oh! And he has this unnatural looking growth on his side.... but it's cool. really. <br> <br> He can be adopted for free, comes with his 20 gal aquarium, flakes, and all his rocks & shit.

Approximately 1/3 scale TIE Fighter. 8x8x8 feet but breaks down into 5 pieces for easy transport in a pickup or can haul partially assembled (except for the top half of the wings) on a trailer. Wheeled casters make it easy to move once assembled. Laser cannons are set to fire standard party poppers. Well built out of 3/4 plywood with the wings sheeted in cardboard. Tested to hold over 300 pounds. Cockpit is 38 inches by 38 inches and my 5ft tall son comfortably sits inside. $150 or best offer *SOLD* 3/21<br> <br> I've had hundreds of calls, texts and e-mails. For those of you that asked: I built it for our Church's AWANA annual Drive-Inn movie night. It is a father/child project where the younger kids take cardboard and build a "car" to sit in and eat popcorn and watch a movie. We kind-of go over the top every year. We built an X-Wing 2 years ago so we needed a Tie Fighter. I didn't have plans, just a sketch pad and ideas in my head. I used this to teach my 9th grader how to use the Pythagorean Theorem and get some practical application to algebra as helped build this for his younger siblings. All the edges to the body panels are 22.5 degrees. The main panels are 16x24, the front and rear panels off those are 16x12, all ¾ birch plywood. The wing struts are boxed 8 inches wide, ¾ plywood, 30 inches long. They are attached with Simpson 90 degree gussets and re-enforced with 2x2s. The lower half of the wings are 2x4 sheeted in cardboard. The upper half are 1x2 sheeted in cardboard. The wing to strut connection is a compression fitting design. If you want more detailed photos to build your own I'll e-mail them. <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Olympia</li> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</li></ul> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- imgList = new Array("http://images.craigslist.org/5Fc5M65J83G13Ke3L4c3j6704604a9cc71623.jpg","http://images.craigslist.org/5L25F85Mf3Kf3Ff3p4c3j2e56280d697f13ff.jpg","http://images.craigslist.org/5K75J65M63G63M53Fdc3j47b3717bb407199c.jpg","http://images.craigslist.org/5L65Ic5H63I53F43Hbc3j932f8089bb07127b.jpg"); // --> </script> <br><br> <div class="iw"> <div id="ci"><span><!-- --></span><img id="iwi" src="http://images.craigslist.org/5Fc5M65J83G13Ke3L4c3j6704604a9cc71623.jpg" alt=""></div> <div id="iwt"> <div class="tn"> <a href="http://images.craigslist.org/5Fc5M65J83G13Ke3L4c3j6704604a9cc71623.jpg" onclick="iwMouseover(0);return false;"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/thumb/5Fc5M65J83G13Ke3L4c3j6704604a9cc71623.jpg" alt="image 0" onmouseover="iwMouseover(0);"></a> </div><br> <div class="tn"> <a href="http://images.craigslist.org/5L25F85Mf3Kf3Ff3p4c3j2e56280d697f13ff.jpg" onclick="iwMouseover(1);return false;"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/thumb/5L25F85Mf3Kf3Ff3p4c3j2e56280d697f13ff.jpg" alt="image 1" onmouseover="iwMouseover(1);"></a> </div><br> <div class="tn"> <a href="http://images.craigslist.org/5K75J65M63G63M53Fdc3j47b3717bb407199c.jpg" onclick="iwMouseover(2);return false;"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/thumb/5K75J65M63G63M53Fdc3j47b3717bb407199c.jpg" alt="image 2" onmouseover="iwMouseover(2);"></a> </div><br> <div class="tn"> <a href="http://images.craigslist.org/5L65Ic5H63I53F43Hbc3j932f8089bb07127b.jpg" onclick="iwMouseover(3);return false;"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/thumb/5L65Ic5H63I53F43Hbc3j932f8089bb07127b.jpg" alt="image 3" onmouseover="iwMouseover(3);"></a> </div><br> </div> </div> robot@craigslist.org 2012-03-19T21:26:15-07:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/2911685977.html Star Wars TIE Fighter text The Onion - Writers' Room Conference Table http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/2911005702.html For sale: Writers' Room Conference Table from The Onion* (America's Finest News Source)<br> *Now with more sarcasm!<br> <br> This table is the site where tens of thousands of millions of ideas have been conceived, developed, painfully delivered, raised, nurtured and chucked into the world.

As I pulled up to the train station, I saw the train I needed depart anyway, so I figured I'd just have to park the car and wait for the next one, which would be arriving shortly. The only parking I saw was a big parking lot with signs that said DECAL ONLY. I figured I had a village decal on my car, so I was included among the elite group of people that could park in this esteemed lot. I parked the car and went to work. During my day at work, I was worried that there was some other type of esoteric decal I should possess to park there. All I could do was hope for the best. When I got back, there was no parking ticket on my car and I was elated. I'd had a long, grueling day at work, and got back to no ticket. Additionally, I had my car there so I could easily DRIVE home, which was a great treat after being on my feet all day. I drove home feeling as though the lack of a parking ticket was the highlight of my day.<br> After that fateful first day of work, I began to get into the swing of things and had made a habit out of walking to the train station. It was nice to know that I could always drive though, if I needed to. Nearly two weeks after the first day, I received a mysterious piece of mail. I opened it and it was a parking ticket from that first day. Somehow it had gotten detached from my windshield and blown away. It was turned in and mailed to me. The ticket was crumpled and bleached as though it had sat outside and weathered the elements until it was delivered to me. The ticket that I received was the original one written, not a new one. This would not have been a problem, except the last day to remit payment had passed, and my $30 fine had jumped to a $100 fine. Despite feeling like this was extreme bullshit, I figured I would just pay it. I didn't have the time or the inclination to argue it in person, and I was working a good job now. <br> <br> As I wrote the check for $100, I was still a little annoyed because 1. I thought I'd gotten away with it and 2. I had to pay more when it wasn't my fault. On the memo line of my check, I decided to have the last laugh. I wrote "ATTN: OFFICER FAGGOT". I dropped the check off at the police station ticket mailbox and figured that this would be the end of it. <br> <br> Two days later, I got another mysterious piece of mail. I opened it up, and it was a court summons. There was a line on the form that said "CHARGE". Written on this line was the phrase "Moral Turpitude." After consulting a dictionary, I realized that this was not even a real thing in our zeitgeist. I did have a court date for several weeks later, though. I decided I would rather get this nonsense taken care of as soon as I could. I called on Wednesday to see if I could reschedule the court date. The lady on the phone was nice and said I could reschedule to Thursday evening. That sounded terrible, but I said okay.<br> <br> The next day I went to court. I wore my glasses to look smart. It was not a real court, though. It looked like one but it was very small. In the room, it was just me and the judge. The judge told me about the charge against me for writing that word on the check and asked why I did it. I told him the story of thinking that I didn't have a ticket and then getting one, and the date having already been passed. I told him it was a great example of an ex post facto law. He agreed with me that this was unfair, but told me I didn't handle it in the right way and that was not what 'ex post facto' law meant. I told him that I know it wasn't mature, but that I was pretty sure that the first amendment still applied and I shouldn't be dragged to court for this. He told me he didn't write the summons and agreed with me. Then he asked me if I'd ever been in any trouble with the law before. I told him I didn't think so. He asked what that meant. I told him that there was a possibility that I have been arrested before, but I didn't think so because no charges were ever filed against me. He asked me what happened. I told him about my involvement with the Occupy protest and how they brought me to jail for civil disobedience but then let me go. He told me that he should have guessed, based on my glasses and manner of dress (like a hipster). He asked why they let me go. I told him that I was diabetic and made a big stink out of it. He told me he was diabetic too, and I was correct in guessing that it was Type II unlike my Type I diabetes. The judge asked if I had some sort of problem with law enforcement officers. I told him I did. He asked why. I said that it bothered me when cops wrote stupid parking tickets and set up speed traps and dealt with other seemingly innocuous things. I told him that when these things happen, I assume all criminals are locked up and everything is taken care of and the world is safe. He told me that he didn't agree with me, but that I was entitled to my opinion. Finally he noticed that it was starting to get late. I agreed with him and called him Judge Harry Stone, which was not his name, but I thought it made for a funny joke, given that it was night time. The judge asked if I had anything else to say, and I thought for a second and said "You can get anything you want in Alice's Restaurant". He looked confused for a second and then a wave of recognition came over his face. He said "Okay good. You're crazy. I mean, I wasn't trying to draft you or anything so it's not really...relevant here. But that was pretty funny, missy!" Finally, he ended up changing the parking ticket fine back to $30 which was a big improvement and vacated my charge of 'moral turpitude' on the grounds that it was 'stupid' (I imagine that's why).<br> <br> I went outside into the hallway of the court building and was texting my friend that my legal woes were over. While I was standing there, Judge Harry Stone came out. He told me that I seemed like nothing but trouble, but had provided one of the more entertaining night court experiences he'd had in awhile. Then he asked me how old I was. I asked him why. He said because he thought it was weird that I referenced both Night Court and Arlo Guthrie during my 'deposition' but appeared to be only 20. I told him that I was 23 but I was really into pop culture. He laughed and said "Whatever" and wished me a good night. I told him to also have a good night, and that I hoped I would never see him again. He laughed and said "I wouldn't count on that." I have managed to stay out of trouble in the three days since that happened, including St. Patrick's Day, so I am feeling confident about my future of being a law abiding citizen.<br> <br> And that is my story of my night in court.<br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Chicago</li> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</li></ul> robot@craigslist.org 2012-03-18T16:24:50-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/2909185252.html Moral Turpitude text free trampoline http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/ind/2904601473.html Ok, here's the deal-<br> <br> This is a FREE trampoline.

Perfect for the aspiring culture creator. I have recently become a Successful Entrepreneur and I no longer have the need for such trifling possessions. I drive a gigantic cargo van that literally pisses gas onto the road to mark its territory. <br> <br> Do you want to be noticed? Do you want to stand out from the crowd? Sleeve tattoo didn't do the trick? Dubstep bounce remix didn't go viral? Look no further than this bike. Don't even look past it in the pictures posted below. Import it into Photoshop and delete the background. I know you know how to do it, because you're a graphic designer.<br> <br> Orange body. Green accents. Pink handlebar wrap. Some silver. Black. Dirt. Are there even any more colors? There are awesome reflective stickers on the bike, too, which makes darting out in front of automobiles on dark evenings and asserting one's absolute and total right of way even more self-righteously awesome. Dear motorist: Did you not see the stickers. Do you think I have time to just put stickers on things. I'm trying to save the world from people like you.<br> <br> Just think of all the great places you could see and be seen on this bike:<br> <br> 1. An Obama rally<br> 2. A Ron Paul rally<br> 3. Rally's<br> 4. Miscellaneous<br> <br> The possibilities are endless.<br> <br> This bike will get you laid. If you ride this bike around Audobon Park at 1 in the morning without pants on, dudes will literally knock you off of your bike to try to blow you. <br> <br> This bike is a freewheel fixed gear, because you're a fucking monster and you have one speed, and that speed is +/- 15mph. <br> <br> A seat comes with the bike, but is not pictured. If you want, you can ride the bike without the seat to simulate the stick you have up your ass about which Pavement album is best, which political cause that matters to you most intermittently, or about whatever it is that you "do." <br> <br> SAFETY FEATURES<br> <br> This bike is Japanese and comes with four distinct safety features:<br> <br> Safety Feature #1: front brakes only. Because you're not about to conform to anyone's preconceived notions of how a bike should stop. <br> <br> Safety Feature #2: Quick release back wheel. I took this bike to Mike the Bike Guy on Magazine to get a tune up once, and he refused to work on it because of this Safety Feature. He said it was a "Frankenstein bike." I asked him if he didn't agree that Frankenstein was a literary masterpiece. I thought that after losing that argument he might be a gentleman and agree to tune up the bike for free, but he remained all pissy and still refused to work on it, even for money. <br> <br> The next time I went in to Mike the Bike Guy on Magazine was to get air. I was all, hey MTBG, can I get some air? He was all yes. It was clear that we both believed that air is a free resource that should not be commodified. Common ground. He pointed me toward his air machine. Everything seemed cool. When I realized that the nozzle didn't fit my bike's tires, I was all, hey MTBG, how does this nozzle go on? He looked at me, turned around, took two steps toward the back of the room, and let out a loud SIGH. I couldn't blame him. I work with people too, and sometimes they ask me questions because they don't know things and I am the paid expert on the exact things they don't know and I am standing right next to them, and I have to humiliate them in front of others before I answer them, too. It's all just part of the job.<br> <br> Safety Feature #3: Helmet. That's my helmet. You can ride in a painter's cap and pretend to be smart at the same time, but you're not fooling anyone. <br> <br> Safety Feature #4: Welding fix at seat joint. When this joint came loose, the bike was deemed horribly unsafe. When I welded it back together, it became safe again, therefore: safety feature. It's supersturdy now; I welded it to fuck and back. I painted the welding joint green because I was feeling creative and I don't have to explain my art to anyone. <br> <br> Safety Feature #5: Apparently this bike has really nice rims. I am listing this under Safety Features because I feel that less-nice rims would probably make the bike marginally less safe. <br> <br> Safety Feature $6: Earthquake proof.<br> <br> $180 or best offer. Cash is fine. Your parents can PayPal me directly. Or see below:<br> <br> I'm totally into creative trades (this part is actually serious). Musical instruments (serious - esp synths and pedals); original art (serious); US Currency (for srsly); leisure suits (I'm 6'1'', 180, with long arms and broad shoulders. Let's stick with dark colors - I'm kind of pale and I don't like to look washed out); real estate/underwater mortgages (4realz dogg); antique firearms (I promise I won't trade you the bike and then shoot you with what was previously your firearm in order to steal my bike back and sell it again, although wouldn't that be ironic, or would it, I don't know, we use the word incorrectly so often that I'm not sure it matters); casual sex.

A 14'' Television! [GONE!] http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/bal/2802774500.html Hey, remember 1992? Boy, what a year that was! Bill Clinton was elected president, Nirvana's "Nevermind" was the #1 album, Sharon Stone flashed the world in "Basic Instinct," and the acquittal of four police officers sparked the LA riots.<br> <br> But all of those events are just minor footnotes compared to this... for in the year of our lord 1,992 Sanyo manufactured this exquisite television. <br> <br> Features include a staggering 14-inch CRT monitor and a "power" button for turning on and off. Beside the power button there are two (2) buttons labeled "volume" and two (2) labeled "channel." Everything is in perfect working order. Additionally, this set comes with a built-in exercise regimen: Since there is no remote control, viewers are forced to walk back & forth to change channels.

Why don't you swing by and rescue it?<br> <br> UPDATE: Due to impending rain, I have brought the tv inside for the night. Inquire via email or come back when the sun returns. <br> <br> UPDATE #2: Now that I've got the set back in my apartment I am stunned by her beauty and am almost considering keeping her. But no...I have to go through with this. Be strong, man. Be strong.<br> <br> **UPDATE #3: And just like 1992, this television is now GONE FOREVER and LOST TO ALL. Except for the one lucky person who claimed it: your life is now changed forever. But with great power comes great responsibility.

[GONE!] text Free Crap Ski Boots to the person who stole my Crap Skis http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/spk/2801866106.html If you really want the crap skis you stole out of the back of my truck last week that bad, you might as well have the crap boots that go with them. I was about ready to give them away anyway, it might as well be you as anyone else. By the way, these are cross country (AKA Nordic) skis, that's why they're so skinny. If you've never tried it before, it's a great winter workout. I could give you a couple quick lessons and you'd be on your way.<br> <br> I hope you wear a men's 10.5, or maybe you can trade them for a size that fits.<br> <br> Just to be clear about which stolen crap skis we're talking about, these were a pair of well worn Fischer Nordic Cruising skis, I forget how long, around 205cm, maybe 210, 5 or 6 years old. They were about the cheapest waxless cross country skis you could get at the time, and these crap Fischer Touring boots that go with them are of similar low quality, and pretty well stretched out. <br> <br> I would appreciate it if we could trade poles though, the ones you stole were really nice Swix carbon with cork grips, way too nice for those crap skis. I'll trade you back the crap poles that go with those skis if you still have them. This is not a deal breaker though, poles or not, you can have the boots.<br> <br> By the way, in an attempt to go faster, I sanded down the fish scales (kick zone) about 15% or so, so if you're just starting out, you might not have enough grip. Maybe try a little kick wax if they slip too much for you.<br> <br> Give me a call, my first name is Chris, my last name is on the skis in permanent marker, I'm in the book.<br> <br> <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: South Hill</li> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</li></ul> <table summary="craigslist hosted images"> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/5N95Lf5Hf3M43pc3o5c1f2a3ebcc3163310ce.jpg" alt="image 0"></td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> </table> robot@craigslist.org 2012-01-15T18:55:46-08:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/spk/2801866106.html Free Crap Ski Boots to the person who stole my Crap Skis text The gator that ate my pot bellied pig http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/jax/2800031711.html I need help catching the gator that ate my prized pig.

I truly believe I would make a great pet cat, much better than your typical cat. If you're interested we'll sign a one year contract, renegotiable at the end of the term. Basically, I'll provide all the services of a pet cat, while you pay for all my food and housing, plus incidentals.<br> <br> Things About Me<br> <br> I am at my best slacking off, sitting around the house, that kind of thing. Very much like a cat. My lifelong passion and hobby is napping, and my qualifications in this field are impecabble. Sometimes I change rooms or chairs, and sometimes I even go to the front window to see what's going on in the street. One of my favorite moments is the long drawn out yawn accompanied by a full body stretch. At nights I like to take a nip outside and prowl around town, getting back a bit before sunrise.<br> <br> My Job Experience<br> <br> 1995-1998: lived at my parent's. No job whatsoever and lounged around the house. Performed these duties admirably.<br> 1998-2000: lived at my sister's place with her fiance. Still no job, watched TV mostly from the couch, sometimes the floor. Achieved all goals and overcame all obstacles, gained the experience needed to move myself forward professionally.<br> 2000-2004: lived at my girlfriend's. No job, lounged around in her backyard when she was away, curled up on her lap when she got home. Tough situation but rose to the occasion.<br> -references available<br> <br> What I Will Do As Your Pet Cat<br> <br> Basically my objective is to fulfill all the duties of a domestic cat. I promise to sit around the house all day doing nothing, catch naps, maybe watch some TV. I will NOT do any work whatsoever, nor will I pick up the phone. Since we cats like to stay clean I will have a long warm bath two times a day. When you come back after work, I will give you 30 seconds of affection, then go back to my nap. If you speak to me about what happened at work I will gaze impassively at the wall, and you will have no idea whether I am listening to you or not. I will largely ignore any friends or relatives you bring over.<br> <br> What You Will Do As My Owner<br> <br> Your job is to provide me with all the food I need to stay happy. (uhh, I'm a talented cat too so I know how to open the fridge and help myself to food, keep it stocked). Its also up to you to keep the place clean so I can find plenty of areas to sit and nap. As a potential owner you'll most definitely have a TV with satellite (like all cats I'm mesmerized by the moving things on the screen) that I'll be able to watch while you're at work. All medical/dental expenses covered by you the employer. I'm not your typical stay-at-home house cat so it's vital you leave a window open at night so I can go out and roam. Don't worry where I go, if it makes you feel better than leave me some spending cash on the table before you go to bed.<br> <br> <br> <br> So how does that sound?

Wake up, eat cereal, pull on jeans, call in sick to work and head to Dolo. Turns out my roommate (that lackluster ass-hat, dirty water, dick-lipped, anti-poon waste of sexual organs and air) decided to break up edibles in my cereal in hopes that I would eat it and then go to work super high. <br> <br> It worked, I was high. Really high. So high I could taste colors and touch emotions. Up was happiness and left was pink. But, unlike the joyful acceptance that comes from willingly doing drugs, un-willingly doing them is much different. I didn't know how I got high, which lead me to think I was having a stroke or that I had died and this was some weird limbo. Ultimately I decided that I was still dreaming. This was a mistake. <br> <br> Accepting the fact that I was lucid dreaming, I got half naked and pissed myself while running down Guerrero street (don't judge me). I arrived at the park with a half eaten Mexi-pop and 1 can of PBR (if you know how I got these things please let me know and if I robbed a store, I'm sorry and I will repay you.) I saw you almost immediately and tried to make my move. You were beautiful. Eyes more beautiful than a tinfoil wrapped Cancun super burrito and skin graffitied like a side street mural. I would go vegan, fair-trade, local, organic for you. But, things didn't work out in my favor. As I approached to drop my finest pick-up lines, I tripped. I must have hit my head on a rock because I woke up in the grass facedown and you were gone. If you remember seeing a clumsy boy knock himself out, I'd love to take you to dinner at Gracias Madre. Also, if you know who went through my pockets while I was unconscious I would really appreciate that too.

I was 14 years old when the original came out (you do the math) and somehow I never managed to see it, or any of the sequels.<br> <br> It's time. I'm ready to hand in my Star Wars V-card.<br> <br> I know this might seem like pretty hot stuff to some of you, introducing a Star Wars virgin to the film that shaped you into the person that you are, developed your sense of virtue and cultivated your concepts of right and wrong. Imagine how hot will it be to sit next to me as I experience -- for the first time! -- the foundation upon which you've not only built your entire personality, but with which you've cultivated the purpose of your heart and the direction of your soul. It will be no less than miraculous, I'm sure. A spiritual epiphany.<br> <br> This is a one-time offer. I mean, once it's busted, there's no getting my Star Wars cherry back, ya know? So I want it to be good. I want my first time to be memorable. Special. I want the build-up, the excitement, the breathless anticipation, all of it. I want you to tease me with your superior Star Wars wisdom until I'm begging you to please please PLEASE put it in, put it in!! Put the DVD in the player and start the movie! I want you to hold my hand as I submit for the first time to the marvel and wonder of this grand event. I might even be okay with some costumes and role playing before the movie starts, but I'd have to be really comfortable with you. Size matters (no matter what they tell you), so obscenely large screens to the front of the line, and surround sound is a must.<br> <br> So how about it? Do you think you are the one to cure me of my Star Wars purity? Tell me why.<br> <br> **Please note this is NOT an offer or request for any sort of sexual activity but I probably won't want to see you again, which is why I consider this a casual encounter.**<br> <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</li></ul> robot@craigslist.org 2012-01-01T16:47:58-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/ash/2778342076.html Wanna break my Star Wars cherry? text Certified Pre-Owned Cat *** Orange Tabby http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/pdx/2770158609.html Great for the holiday season, this 2005 Fat Cat is on special this month.

Unfortunately, you were in the wrong apt. - m4w http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/2753915764.html Hey there, Emily?<br> <br> We met last Friday morning. Well, maybe "met" isn't the right word. I believe the first thing you said to me was, "Who the FUCK are you?" That's a funny thing to say to a guy after wandering into his apartment, passing out in his bed, and accosting him wearing nothing but a bed sheet (your own, might I add) the next morning.<br> <br> Before I get too far, know that I'm not mad. Actually, I think you were pretty funny. And apparently, cute. I was, however, hungover as all hell, lying horizontally on the living room couch.<br> <br> Why on the couch? Well, that's where I chose to sleep (I know, weird concept) after crawling into what I mistakenly thought was my empty bed at 4am. Laying down in my bed meant risking waking you up. Which would have ended in one of two ways, 1) the worst horror movie ever or 2) possibly the greatest porno ever. I didn't like my odds. Couch it was.<br> <br> Truth is, I already have a situation. A good situation, even though "my situation" lives in another state. It's so good, in fact, "my situation" laughed her ass off this morning when I told her that one story about a random naked girl waking up in my bed.<br> <br> I believe you happened to mentioned your own situation, too. Only your situation, based solely on last night (and the tacky pattern on his [I assume] bed sheets)) doesn't sound like a great situation.<br> <br> That said, it won't work with us. Sorry (it's not you, it's me and my over-use of parentheses). But I have a roommate, and I think he'd be a better "situation" for you. He has nice sheets and locks his door from the inside (looking out for your safety). He also had a better look at you this morning, and seemed to like what he saw despite you tip-toeing down the hall while simultaneously skyrocketing to the top of the walk of shame power rankings.<br> <br> So, yeah. Let me know. I can arrange something, or you could just stop by.<br> <br> I guess you already know where to find him. <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</li></ul> robot@craigslist.org 2011-12-14T23:07:34-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/2753915764.html You slept naked in my bed.

I want a girlfriend. But, I don't <i>really</i> want a girlfriend.<br> <br> I just want one for the holidays.<br> <br> Let's recognize something. The holidays suck, especially for us single people. All of your coupled friends are going to be doing couple things: snuggling by the fire, going to dinner at each others' parents houses, blahblahbarf.<br> <br> Let's recognize another thing. Deep down inside, you don't want to be alone for the holidays. You want someone to do all of those cute snuggly things with, someone to get fat and keep warm next to (let's also recognize that it's getting fucking cold here), and someone to accompany you to your friends' coupley holiday parties so they don't keep thinking you're a loser destined for permanent solo status.<br> <br> But, you've spent all year working on your career / training for charity bike rides / getting drunk and haven't had the time or inclination to track down and capture a boyfriend. And even if you did, you're not really sure you'd want to keep him after the holidays are over, anyway.<br> <br> The solution:<br> Be my girlfriend for the holidays. And only for the holidays.<br> <br> How it works:<br> You reply with a picture and a brief bio (250 words max. To give you an idea, this posting is 499). If it seems like a good fit we'll set up a casual mini-date (coffee, beer, or whatever). If that's a success and we're both feeling it, we'll date until 11:59PM, January 2nd, 2012. After that we can still be friends (unless we hate each other, then we can downshift to the occasional drunken booty call).<br> <br> The benefits:<br> • You have someone to keep you company on these witch-tit-cold San Francisco nights. Did I mention I'm an excellent cuddler? (I have references.)<br> • I like to cook. Especially for others. Nothing too fancy, but always tasty and satisfying. As long as you're an omnivore, you win.<br> • Having done it professionally for some years to pay for school, I know my way around a bar. Same goes for wine cellars and beer coolers. Homemade winter warmers? Done.<br> • Hate holiday music? Me too. Seeing as every other establishment or event you step into will be playing it, I'll spare you the excess.<br> • Love taking photos? Sweet. Let's wear gaudy holiday attire and make ridiculous Xmas postcards to send your friends and family.

It's the couch that required four people to get into the truck, and two people to sit in the back and make sure it didn't fall off. It's the couch that left a scratch on the door frame because it hardly fit through, heck they had to take the door frame off to fit the dang thing through. They never put it back. They plopped the BNC in front of their TV and invited 16 people over and all of them fit. When they moved, they tried to sell the couch for eight dollars. No one would buy it, so they put it out for free. That's when we found it and claimed it for our own. We've found things in here that we've never owned: remotes, peanuts, quarters, small animal skulls. Who knows what treasures we've left for you to unearth? If you're lucky, you may find a whole cat. <br> <br> Anyone who looks at the BNC can see it's no stranger to fornication. It couldn't be. Its four feet of depth and eight feet of length are solid couch-y goodness. You can't blame a body. The BNC was built for macking. And if you think so too, you're surely in 2 decades of good company. <br> <br> Maybe this couch has seen better days. Or then again, maybe it hasn't. The BNC is like a fine wine, getting better with age. Think of it as the compost bin of the furniture realm. It's where you dump your laundry, your bags, yourself at the end of a long day. You let it swallow you whole and you emerge humbled, softened, earthy smelling, like a rich humus. You sit on the BNC, and you are better for it. So, it's not our nicest piece of furniture? Well, it's definitely the biggest. <br> <br> Do you have to pay for the BNC? No! The BNC is free. In fact, since we are all about full service, your first bout of BNC entertainment is included: we'll hide some spare change in the cushions and you can look for it. Gloves recommended. <br> <br> Can you handle a Big Nasty Couch? Well, come and get it already. Big Nasty Transportation not included. Seriously, bring a big truck. <br> <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: South Eugene/LCC</li> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</li></ul> <table summary="craigslist hosted images"> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/5Y25V55S53m53p73o7bbc982a2978518516ce.jpg" alt="image 0"></td> <td align="center"><img src="http://images.craigslist.org/5V45U65P03o03p43l7bbc8ac60a3d18ef1d54.jpg" alt="image 1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> </table> robot@craigslist.org 2011-11-12T10:53:12-08:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/eug/2698858103.html Big Nasty Couch text Are You a Ghost Surfing the Web? http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/ral/2656912395.html Documentary style program is looking to contact a ghost on the internet.

Used once. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/2597736393.html Yoga mat for sale. Used once at lunch hour class in December 2009. Usage timeline as follows: <br> <br> 11:45a<br> Register for hot yoga class. Infinite wisdom tells me to commit to 5 class package and purchase a yoga mat. I pay $89.74. Money well spent, I smugly confirm to myself. <br> <br> 11:55a<br> Open door to yoga room. A gush of hot dry air rushes through and past me. It smells of breath, sweat and hot. Take spot on floor in back of room next to cute blonde. We will date. <br> <br> 11:57a<br> I feel the need to be as near to naked as possible. This is a problem because of the hot blonde to my left and our pending courtship. She will not be pleased to learn that I need to lose 30 pounds before I propose to her. <br> <br> 11:58a<br> The shirt and sweats have to come off. I throw caution to the wind and decide to rely on my wit and conditioning to overcome any weight issues my fiancée may take issue with. This will take a lot of wit and conditioning. <br> <br> 11:59a<br> Begin small talk with my bride to be. She pretends to ignore me but I know how she can be. I allow her to concentrate and stare straight ahead and continue to pretend that I don't exist. As we finish sharing our special moment, I am suddenly aware of a sweat moustache that has formed below my nose. This must be from the all the whispering between us. <br> <br> 12:00p<br> Instructor enters the room and ascends her special podium at the front of the room. She is a slight, agitated Chinese woman. She introduces me to the class and everyone turns around to greet me just as I decide to aggressively adjust my penis and testes packed in my Under Armor. My bride is notably unfazed. <br> <br> 12:02p<br> Since I do have experience with Hot Yoga (4 sessions just 5 short years ago) I fully consider that I may be so outstanding and skilled that my instructor may call me out and ask me to guide the class. My wife will look on with a sparkle in her eye. We will make love after class. <br> <br> 12:10p<br> It is now up to 95 degrees in the room. We have been practicing deep breathing exercises for the last 8 minutes. This would not be a problem if we were all breathing actual, you know, oxygen. Instead, we are breathing each other's body odor, expelled carbon dioxide and other unmentionables. (Don't worry, I'll mention them later.) <br> <br> 12:26p<br> It is now 100 degrees and I take notice of the humidity, which is hovering at about 90%. I feel the familiar adorning stare of my bride and decide to look back at her. She appears to be nauseated. I then realize that I forgot to brush my teeth prior to attending this class. We bond. <br> <br> 12:33p<br> It is now 110 degrees and 95% humidity. I am now balancing on one leg with the other leg crossed over the other. My arms are intertwined and I am squatting. The last time I was in this position was 44 years ago in the womb, but I'm in this for the long haul. My wife looks slightly weathered dripping sweat and her eyeliner is streaming down her face. Well, "for better or worse" is what we committed to so we press on. <br> <br> 12:40p<br> The overweight Hispanic man two spots over has sweat running down his legs. At least I think its sweat. He is holding every position and has not had a sip of water since we walked in. He is making me look bad and I hate him. <br> <br> 12:44p<br> I consider that if anyone in this room farted that we would all certainly perish.<br> <br> 12:52p<br> It is now 140 degrees and 100% humidity. I am covered from head to toe in sweat. There is not a square millimeter on my body that is not slippery and sweaty. I am so slimy that I feel like a sea lion or a maybe sea eel. Not even a bear trap could hold me. The sweat is stinging my eyeballs and I can no longer see. <br> <br> 12:55p<br> This room stinks of asparagus, cloves, tuna and tacos. There is no food in the room. I realize that this is an amalgamation of the body odors of 30 people in a 140 degree room for the last 55 minutes. Seriously, enough with the asparagus, ok? <br> <br> 1:01p<br> 140 degrees and 130% humidity. Look, bitch, I need my space here so don't get all pissy with me if I accidentally sprayed you with sweat as I flipped over. Seriously, is that where this relationship is going? Get over yourself. We need counseling and she needs to be medicated. Stat!<br> <br> 1:09p<br> 150 degrees and cloudy. And hot. I can no longer move my limbs on my own. I have given up on attempting any of the commands this Chinese chick is yelling out at us. I will lay sedentary until the aid unit arrives. I will buy this building and then have it destroyed. <br> I lose consciousness. <br> <br> 1:15p<br> I have a headache and my wife is being a selfish bitch. I can't really breathe. All I can think about is holding a cup worth of hot sand in my mouth. I cannot remember what an ice cube is and cannot remember what snow looks like. I consider that my only escape might be a crab walk across 15 bodies and then out of the room. I am paralyzed, and may never walk again so the whole crab walk thing is pretty much out. <br> <br> 1:17p<br> I cannot move at all and cannot reach my water. Is breathing voluntary or involuntary? If it's voluntary, I am screwed. I stopped participating in the class 20 minutes ago. Hey, lady! I paid for this frickin class, ok?! You work for me! Stop yelling at everyone and just tell us a story or something. It's like juice and cracker time, ok? <br> <br> 1:20p<br> It is now 165 degrees and moisture is dripping from the ceiling. The towel that I am laying on is no longer providing any wicking or drying properties. It is actually placing additional sweat on me as I touch it. My towel reeks. I cannot identify the smell but no way can it be from me. Did someone spray some stank on my towel or something? <br> <br> 1:30p<br> Torture session is over. I wish hateful things upon the instructor. She graciously allows us to stay and 'cool down' in the room. It is 175 degrees. Who cools down in 175 degrees? A Komodo Dragon? My wife has left the room. Probably to throw up. <br> <br> 1:34p<br> My opportunity to escape has arrived. I roll over to my stomach and press up to my knees. It is warmer as I rise up from ground level - probably by 15 degrees. So let's conservatively say it's 190. I muster my final energy and slowly rise. One foot in front of the other. One foot in front of the other. Towards the door. Towards the door. <br> <br> 1:37p<br> The temperature in the lobby is 72 degrees. Both nipples stiffen to diamond strength and my penis begins to retract into my abdomen from the 100 degree temp swing. I can once again breathe though so I am pleased. I spot my future ex wife in the lobby. We had such a good thing going but I know that no measure of counseling will be able to unravel the day's turmoil and mental scaring. <br> <br> 1:47p<br> Arrive at Emerald City Smoothie and proceed to order a 32 oz beverage. 402 calories, 0 fat and 14 grams of protein -- effectively negating any caloric burn or benefit from the last 90 minutes. I finish it in 3 minutes and spend the next 2 hours writing this memoir. <br> <br> 3:47p<br> Create Craigslist ad while burning final 2 grams of protein from Smoothie and before the "shakes" consume my body. <br> <br> 4:29p<br> Note to self - check car for missing wet yoga towel in am. <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Bellevue <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> <table summary="craigslist hosted images"> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/yogamat.jpg" alt="the yoga mat returns!" title="the yoga mat returns!"></td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> </table> robot@craigslist.org 2011-09-13T22:32:00-07:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/2597736393.html Yoga mat for sale.

Roommate. Ever. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/2549849730.html Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him. I'm a 25-year-old professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City. That's right! What you know about experience? I graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and moved to NYC at the ripe, tender age of 22. After deciding that New York was a stinky shit-hole, I moved back to Alabama to cultivate more professional experience. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post shit like this on Craigslist.<br> <br> Anyway, so I landed this job with a marketing firm in San Francisco, and I have no fucking clue where to live. Honestly, I'm moving there in 3 weeks, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub. <br> <br> A bit about me: I'm respectful, quiet, clean and I won't bother any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine." I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you. That's right! My dad is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking southern cajun cuisine. I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off. <br> <br> I also read a lot. I fucking LOVE books. Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Hawthorne. All that shit. I read Tuesdays with Morrie the other day. It's a sad story, but I learned something about life, love, knowledge and the pursuit of something greater than myself. Fucking smart. Do you like movies? I fucking love them. We can watch the shit out of some movies together if you like, or go get drinks, or work out, hike, play video games or play a game of one-on-one basketball, or I don't have to talk to you at all. It's completely UP TO YOU! <br> <br> Sometimes I play guitar. Are you going to love getting baked and listening to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd? LIVE? WHENEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT? Of course you are! I'll take requests and learn any song you like, because I have the voice of an angel and the acoustical stylings of James Fucking Taylor. AWWWWWW SHIT YEA!<br> <br> A lot of people ask me, "Hey, you're from Alabama. Are you racist?" And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all. I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE. That's the only requirement to being a secular humanist actually. You have to like other human beings and want to help them for no other reason than they are human regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. WTF?!!!? Pretty fucking cool right?<br> <br> I own almost nothing! I'm driving my car from Alabama to California in which I'll be transporting two duffelbags of clothes, one laptop computer, one guitar, one cell-phone with charger, 8 pairs of shoes, one picture frame, probably some condoms and a shitload of beef jerky and Pringles for the trip. Though, you can expect the jerky to be gone upon my arrival. Unless you'd like me to pick up some on my way into the city. See?! I'm the most considerate person you've ever met. I'm offering to buy you shit already!<br> <br> Am I interested in your pad? You can bet my nomadic ass I am! I only require 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor to shelter me from the elements. Other than that, anything else will be considered a convenient plus. I'm taking being a roommate to the next level. Email me! I'll hook yo ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of karate trophies and a list of the top 10 women I'd like to bang before I die. If you want a next-generation roommate who consistently blows your fucking mind with awesomeness, then hit me up.

It will change the way you think. I'm serious, and I AM NOT GAY. To see a group of bros being men, a JO circle by a camp fire. The charge/energy in the air. Crystals get jacked, no lie. You will slip into a different frame of mind, you will feel electric. <br> <br> Last outing, we had a group that was so charged we attracted bears. It was no deal, nature knew man was in the forest, the crystals gave us the confidence to own those bears.

As I'm walking in, I go to grab a cart and notice three guys (late teens/early 20's) all standing together but on their cell phones texting and blocking the majortiy of carts. So I sidestep them and grab a cart from the sole lane they weren't blocking. I get my cart and proceed but I can't help but notice the people lined up to return bottles/cans. I'm not knocking them (I'm pro-recycle) but it looked like they literally crawled out of a dumpster and needed the deposit money to get through the night. I asked myself "why don't they just stop consuming this sugarwater and use the money for a necessity?" Then I realized Coke and Pepsi are a necessity for the majority of people in this country. I should also point out that each one was overweight (if not obese). <br> <br> I get inside and start doing some shopping. The procuce section was the most "normal". I grabbed some apples, a few bananas, and some strawberries since it's that time of year. As I left the produce section, it started getting depressing. I see a kid poking his finger through a package of ground beef and laughing his cute little head off. I don't blame the kid (I did that once too when I was his age but my mother grabbed my hand and basically let me know if it ever happened again, I'd lose my hand). However, I DO blame his mother for not caring the least about her son destroying multiple packs of meat. She was actually entertained by his behaivor. So I grabbed some chicken breast and continued on. As I'm passing the "organic food" section, I hear two guys laughing hysterically so I walk back a few steps to see if George Carlin had risen from the dead doing one of his stand-up acts. Nope...wasn't him. The two guys were "tickling" each other. In laymans terms, they were a couple of gay guys. I'm not anti-gay, but it was just weird watching them be so flamoyant in public. Being "out" seems to be the "in" these days. <br> <br> I get to the cereal isle and see a guy pushing around one of those carts that resembles a car for the kids to sit in. His gf/wife was about 10 feet away yelling out loudly which cereal he wanted. He had his back turned to her pushing the cart the opposite direction with the two kids screaming their heads off as he's looking at his cell phone. I stop at this point waiting for him to pass me but he's in the middle of the isle and knocks into my cart. One of the kids then throws a canned fruit. The guy stops looking at his phone and gives me this annoyed look as if it's my fault im in his lane. A fuse started to light up inside me. As he starts to move his cart back to the right side of the lane, I throw my shoulder into him and knock him off balance. He says "hey" but in a very non-threatening way, so I glace back and he looks away. His overweight gf didn't seem too pleased with me. I grabbed some Wegmans brand cereal with almonds (it's really good). <br> <br> On to the next isle to get some pasta and sauce. I see a mom that resembles my math teacher in high school. Is it her? Can't be...nope, wasn't her but I instantly smile since I was very fond of my math teacher. She smiles back. Her daughter was next to her..I'd say she was 15 or 16. Lip peirced, glazed eyes, and of course TEXTING. The whole time, this girl is rolling her eyes and being dramatic. About what? Who knows. Most likely something to do with a text. I glance at her and she glances back at me really quickly and then looks back at her cell phone. For that split second when I was able to see her eyes, I felt a weight on my shoulders. This girl, along with the majority of people in the store, had severe mental issues. <br> <br> What happened to these people? Is it the fluoridated tap water? The anti-depression medications? The fast food consumed on a daily basis? The chemicals in diet sodas and chewing gum? The constant need for people to feel "connected" by using a cell phone but really aren't connected to anything? Movies? Music? Reality televison? Lately, the majority of people I see look dead inside. Battered...beaten...tormented. SLAVES. I then ask myself, "What will these people do when civil unrest and social breakdowns occur in the not so distant future? It's going to be an ugly sight. Well, thank you for reading my thoughts (for anyone that made it to the end). Just the ramblings of a 30 year old male who's losing hope on "people". <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Everywhere <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2011-05-08T00:49:17-04:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/rcs/2368807117.html What is happening to people? text Free Kool-Aid Costume http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/pia/2349867638.html This is a hand made Kool-Aid Costume.

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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> I'm 90% certain the bow's in there. <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Echo Park <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-12-13T19:32:49-08:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/2111720687.html Free Cello text Ninja Repellent/Entertainment center http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/app/2043517078.html What, dear Reader makes my Entertainment Center so much more special than others? Aside from the faux wood grain and authentic faux granite looking "stuff" that coats the main section, I tell you that it is an amazing piece of furniture. It does not slice, dice or julienne, but it does have one amazing feature: It acts as Ninja repellent. Take a look at the photos. Go on, look. Not one ninja anywhere. Those pesky ninjas are always in the bushes, trying to assassinate you? Then this my friend is the the furniture for you. <br> <br> Oh, but I hear your argument already, they are *ninjas*, they would not show up on film. Well I used a high speed camera and at the time there was minimal cloud cover, so I think its safe to say that if anyone could capture the fleeting essence of a ninja mid-attack, its my little nikon coolpix. <br> <br> But I digress. After attaining this Center and installing it within the confines of your home you can breathe a weary sigh of contentment as you can watch the ninjas curse at you from the outside as you revel in the unending Snorks vs. Smurfs marathon you have been dying to hold. Where at its conclusion you can stand, turn to like Russel Crowe as Maximus the Roman gladiator and scream at the unwashed and fetid masses "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED????" <br> <br> Let me know, I will even help load it.

April, maybe May. We only rode the bus together three times, only two times sitting together. The second I saw you, I smiled brightly, because you looked so nice. You were getting on the number 11 at the Lake Washington bus stop, at 9:35 on a Wednesday, heading downtown. You were one of the few people getting on the bus who had not immediately put out a cigarette or a crack pipe. You looked like the average super-casual tech worker or student. You saw me smiling at you, and your face sort of lit up. <br> <br> You had a soul-patch-triangle-hairy-thing under your bottom lip, which I will normally not tolerate on white men, but you made it work. You wore drab grayish-blue clothes that were slightly baggy. I had chin-length brown hair and cute sunglasses. I was holding a cup of coffee that, true to Starbucks tradition, kept spouting forth like a caffeinated geyser from the tiny sippy hole in the top, scalding my hands as I attempted in vain to dry off with a flimsy recycled paper napkin. <br> <br> You sat next to me. There was genuine sexual tension, which is rare in Seattle, and even rarer on the bus. You smelled REALLY, REALLY good. I didn't make eye contact, although I took off my sunglasses so that you wouldn't think I looked like a spy. I might have turned down my Shuffle so you wouldn't know that I was listening to Mr. Mister. I didn't make conversation. I just smelled you the whole way downtown. <br> <br> What was that glorious smell? It wasn't colonge. I have bought colonge for men before, and they don't make men's cologne that smells like this. Was it soap? Laundry detergent? A particularly wonderful brand of fabric softener and/or dryer sheet? I have searched in vain for the scent since meeting you. I want to douse the rest of the bus riders with it. Hell, I'd spray it all over my Shih Tzu if I could distill it. It was sweet, soft, but not girly. It was clean but not chlorine-y. <br> <br> The next Wednesday, you got on the bus, and you sat next to me. Deliberately. There were dozens of empty seats on the bus, but you chose to sit down next to me. I blushed. You blushed. You smelled even better. You took out a book and pretended to read it. That book everyone is reading, The Kite Flyer or the Flying Kite or something by someone with an Iranian/Afghani/Middle Eastern name. Khaled. Ahmed. Whatever. I nervously asked you about the book. I think I made a really stupid comment about how I can't read on the bus because I get car sick. This must have turned you on. You tried to explain the plot of the book, and you spoke very slowly and not particularly lucidly, in direct contrast to my high-pitched but enunciated prattling. <br> <br> It was clear, probably to both of us, but certainly to me, that we were not romantically suited for each other. Nor was there any intellectual chemistry. It was clear as crystal. I had at the time, and still have to this day, a boyfriend that I really love. Chances are, you have a girlfriend who rocks your world. I didn't want to do anything to mess that up. <br> <br> I actually went home and told my boyfriend about you. I called you my Bus Boyfriend. I normally don't tell my boyfriend about random men who want to hit on me but who, true to the Seattle way of life, don't bother. But I told him about you because I wanted him to be aware that other, completely random men occasionally want to be physically close to me, because this is something that even jealous boyfriends are often prone to forgetting. You probably know, Bus Boyfriend, what it's like when you're with a girl for a couple years. If you know she's faithful, you start thinking, "Hey, I'm the only one who has access to this poon..." Then you start thinking, "Hey, no one else really thinks about this woman but me." <br> <br> My boyfriend took notice when I told him about you; he felt the slight threat that was implicit in our public transportation liaisons, as incredibly platonic as they may have been. He fucked me really hard for a couple of weeks, realizing that he was damn fortunate to have access to this poon. <br> <br> The last Wednesday I saw you, I noticed you too late. It was a bad morning for me, Bus Boyfriend. I arrived at the bus stop before having that necessary first cup of coffee. The weather was foggy. So was my brain. You got on the bus, and chances are you looked to see if our eyes would meet, because I felt a pair of eyes burning a whole in the side of my face. By the time I was jolted out of my reverie by your smell wafting by, you had passed by and had seated yourself farther back. <br> <br> For one entire stop I contemplated getting up and sitting next to you. Then a gigantic man with an apparent allergy to soap wedged me in against the window, and it was all I could do to keep from straining my neck while looking back at you and hoping that you would at least get up and stand behind me, so I could smell something besides the 300-pound armpit pushing up against my cheek. <br> <br> Then, after that, nothing. I never saw you on the bus again. I never got to inhale your pleasant scent again (Tide? Cheer? Bounce? Something from Trader Joe's?). I smelled a variety of other, less desirable scents that other passengers had coated themselves in - urine, B.O., cigar smoke, booze-breath, copious amounts of Chanel 5 - sometimes individuallly, occasionally all at once. Do you KNOW how many people are drunk when they get on the bus, Bus Boyfriend? On the number 11 through downtown Seattle, 10% of the passengers are intoxicated, and they smell like it. And they sit next to me, Bus Boyfriend. Like you used to sit, only significanly closer and with more chutzpah and less shame. <br> <br> Besides drunks, I have had the honor of sitting next to bitchy little teenage gay guys who lisp loudly into their cell phones. Old ladies with whooping cough. Girls who can be no older than 12, dressed like complete mini-whores, who put their Vans-clad feet up on the back of the seat in front of them. Children whose faces are completely obscured by snot. Young white men who think they are big black men, and attempt to speak "jive" ("Yo, yo, yo, man - that mah SHIT!"). iPod-wearing business men with long, long legs and a clear disgust for the fact that I have the nerve to take up exactly 50% of the bench seating. <br> <br> Bus Boyfriend, where have you gone? Please return to remove me from this misery! I don't want you sexually. Hell, I don't even want to talk to you - you can't even discuss the main storyline of a popular novel and you probably don't want to know any more detail about my inner ear and motion sickness. I just want to feel that odd tension again. And I want to smell you. You were my bus sachet, my ego-boosting little bowl of potpourri. Please come back. When you were around, no crackhead could touch me. Due to the ever-so-slight threat that your presence created, my boyfriend nailed me more often and more sincerely than any other time. You made transportation tolerable, you improved my love life. <br> <br> If you got a job on the East Side, I forgive you. If you graduated from the UW, I congratulate you. But if you bought a car and now drive yourself downtown, shame on you! Shame! Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel. Especially on the bus. Without my Bus Boyfriend. <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-10-02T13:12:20-07:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/1985552272.html Bus boyfriend..I want to smell you again text STOP Waiting for Grandma to Die! 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/buf/1984556046.html STOP Waiting for your Grandma to die so you can have her car! Buy this one and have a real old-lady car of your own. Let's go over some of the details about this fine auto, which STARTS, RUNS, and DRIVES. <br> <br> *1987 Cutlass Sierra <br> <br> * 30,248 Original MILES. I know you've heard it a million times, but this car has really only been driven to church and the grocery store, and the cemetery-- Old people LOVE to go to the cemetery. It is believed that this car traveled as far as West Seneca for a funeral once. <br> <br> *As an old lady car, this Olds had the privilege of getting ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. Most recently the car got new tires (whitewalls out of course!) and a new battery. The new tires could possibly have 1000 miles on them, which means that they are pretty new. It's also up to date on its inspections, shots and vaccines. <br> <br> *The body is in DECENT SHAPE for a car that has lived through 23 Buffalo winters. The color is Navy Blue. There is rust at all of the wheel wells; some worse than others. There are some BATTLE SCARS on the body from lost fights with a white vinyl sided home, mostly on the passenger side. <br> <br> *Grandma is NOT A SMOKER, and had no friends that smoked. Lets be honest here, most of her friends are dead anyways, which brings me to my next point: <br> <br> *The passenger seat and back bench seat are virtually untouched. I sat in the back seat once or twice, probably for a trip to the cemetery. <br> <br> *The trunk is large enough for at least two bodies. Dark Body color is good for late night trips to Niagara River. <br> <br> *This vehicle comes with a 100% working AM RADIO, and a motorized (working) antenna.

Currently flown 32 times (191 crews) for a total of 120,650,907 miles. Time in space, 293 days, 18 hours, 29 minutes, 37 seconds (as of STS-132). One possible mission remaining. <br> <br> Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-104) is one of the three currently operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. (The other two are Discovery and Endeavour.) Atlantis was the fourth operational shuttle built and was delivered to Kennedy Space Center in April 1985. <br> <br> In early 2008, NASA officials decided to keep Atlantis flying until 2010, the projected end of the shuttle program. This reversed a previous decision to retire Atlantis in 2008. <br> History <br> <br> Atlantis is named after RV Atlantis, a two-masted sailing ship that operated as the primary research vessel for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute from 1930 to 1966. The 460-ton ketch carried a crew of 17 and had room for 5 scientists. The former RV Atlantis is now commissioned as an oceanographic research vessel in the Argentine Naval Prefecture under the name Dr. Bernardo Houssay and finishing a lengthy period of restoration. <br> <br> Construction milestones <br> January 29, 1979 Contract Award - Rockwell International <br> March 30, 1980 Start structural assembly of crew module <br> November 23, 1981 Start structural assembly of aft-fuselage <br> June 13, 1983 Wings arrive at Palmdale from Grumman <br> December 2, 1983 Start of final assembly <br> April 10, 1984 Completed final assembly <br> March 6, 1985 Rollout from Palmdale <br> April 3, 1985 Overland transport from Palmdale to Edwards <br> April 9, 1985 Delivery to Kennedy Space Center <br> September 5, 1985 Flight Readiness Firing <br> Notable missions <br> <br> Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off on its maiden voyage on October 3, 1985, on mission STS-51-J, the second dedicated Department of Defense flight. It flew one other mission, STS-61-B, the second night launch in the shuttle program, before the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster temporarily grounded the shuttle fleet in 1986. Atlantis was used for ten flights between 1988 and 1992. Two of these, both flown in 1989, deployed the planetary probes Magellan to Venus (on STS-30) and Galileo to Jupiter (on STS-34). During another mission, STS-37 flown in 1991, Atlantis deployed the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Beginning in 1995 with STS-71, Atlantis made seven straight flights to the former Russian space station Mir as part of the Shuttle-Mir Program. When linked, Atlantis and Mir together formed the largest spacecraft in orbit at the time. <br> <br> Shuttle Atlantis has also delivered several vital components for the construction of the International Space Station (ISS). During the February 2001 mission STS-98 to the ISS, Atlantis delivered the Destiny Module, the primary operating facility for U.S. research payloads aboard the ISS. The Quest Joint Airlock, was flown and installed to the ISS by Atlantis during the mission STS-104 in July 2001. The first mission flown by Atlantis after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster was STS-115, conducted during September 2006. The mission carried the P3/P4 truss segments and solar arrays to the ISS. On ISS assembly flight STS-122 in February 2008, Atlantis delivered the Columbus laboratory to the ISS. Columbus laboratory is the largest single contribution to the ISS made by the European Space Agency (ESA). <br> <br> In May 2009 Atlantis flew a 7 member crew to the Hubble Space Telescope for its Servicing Mission 4, STS-125. The mission was a success, with the crew completing five space walks to install new cameras, batteries, a gyroscope and other components to the telescope. <br> <br> Among the five space shuttles flown into space, Atlantis has conducted a subsequent mission in the shortest time after the previous mission when it launched in November, 1985 on STS-61-B, only 50 days after its previous mission, STS-51-J. <br> <br> The longest mission flown using shuttle Atlantis to date is STS-117 that lasted almost 14 days in June 2007. Atlantis is not equipped to take advantage of the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System so missions cannot be extended by making use of power provided by ISS. <br> <br> During the STS-129 post-flight interview on 16 November, 2009 shuttle launch director Mike Leinbach said that Atlantis officially beat shuttle Discovery on the record low amount of Interim Problem Reports, with a total of just 54 listed since returning from the STS-125. He continued to add "It's due to the team and the hardware processing. They just did a great job. The record will probably never be broken again in the history of the Space Shuttle Program, so congratulations to them". <br> <br> Orbiter Maintenance Down Periods <br> <br> To date Atlantis has gone through two overhauls of scheduled Orbiter Maintenance Down Periods (OMDPs) during her operational history. Atlantis arrived at Palmdale, California in October 1992 for OMDP-1. During that visit 165 modifications were made over the next 20 months. These included the installation of a drag chute, new plumbing lines to configure the orbiter for extended duration, more than 800 new heat tiles and blankets and new insulation for main landing gear and structural mods to the airframe. On November 5, 1997, Atlantis again arrived at Palmdale for OMDP-2 which was completed on September 24, 1998. The 130 modifications carried out during OMDP-2 included glass cockpit displays, replacement of TACAN navigation with GPS and ISS airlock and docking installation. Several weight reduction modifications were also performed on the orbiter including replacement of Advanced Flexible Reusable Surface Insulation (AFRSI) insulation blankets on upper surfaces with FRSI. Moreover lightweight crew seats were installed and the Extended Duration Orbiter (EDO) package installed on OMDP-1 was removed to lighten Atlantis to better serve its prime mission of servicing the ISS. <br> <br> Planned decommissioning <br> <br> NASA had planned to withdraw Atlantis from service in 2008, as the orbiter would have been due to undergo its third scheduled OMDP. However, because of the final retirement of the shuttle fleet in 2010, this was deemed uneconomic. It was planned that Atlantis would be kept in near flight condition to be used as a parts hulk for Discovery and Endeavour. However, with the significant planned flight schedule up to 2010, the decision was taken to extend the time between OMDPs, allowing Atlantis to be retained for operations. Atlantis has been swapped for one flight of each Discovery and Endeavour in the current flight manifest. Atlantis is now projected to fly at least one more mission, STS-132, prior to the end of the shuttle program. <br> <br> Flights listing <br> # Launch date Designation Launch Pad Landing Location Duration Notes <br> 1 1985 October 3 STS-51-J 39A Edwards AFB 4 days, 1 hour, 44 minutes, 38 seconds First Atlantis mission; mission dedicated to Department of Defense. <br> 2 1985 November 26 STS-61-B 39A Edwards AFB 6 days, 21 hours, 4 minutes, 49 seconds 3 communications satellites deployed: MORELOS-B, AUSSAT-2 and SATCOM KU-2. <br> 3 1988 December 2 STS-27 39B Edwards AFB 4 days, 9 hours, 5 minutes, 37 seconds Mission dedicated to Department of Defense. <br> 4 1989 May 4 STS-30 39B Edwards AFB 4 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes, 28 seconds Deployed Magellan probe. <br> 5 1989 October 18 STS-34 39B Edwards AFB 4 days, 23 hours, 39 minutes, 20 seconds Deployed Galileo probe. <br> 6 1990 February 28 STS-36 39A Edwards AFB 4 days, 10 hours, 18 minutes, 22 seconds Mission dedicated to Department of Defense. <br> 7 1990 November 15 STS-38 39A KSC 4 days, 21 hours, 54 minutes, 31 seconds Mission dedicated to Department of Defense. <br> 8 1991 April 5 STS-37 39B Edwards AFB 5 days, 23 hours, 32 minutes, 44 seconds Deployed Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. <br> 9 1991 August 2 STS-43 39A KSC 8 days, 21 hours, 21 minutes, 25 seconds Deployed TDRS-5. <br> 10 1991 November 24 STS-44 39A Edwards AFB 6 days, 22 hours, 50 minutes, 44 seconds Mission dedicated to Department of Defense. <br> 11 1992 March 24 STS-45 39A KSC 8 days, 22 hours, 9 minutes 28 seconds Carried Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS) mission 1. <br> 12 1992 July 31 STS-46 39A KSC 7 days, 23 hours, 15 minutes, 3 seconds Deployed ESA European Retrievable Carrier and NASA Tethered Satellite System. <br> 13 1994 November 3 STS-66 39B Edwards AFB 10 days, 22 hours, 34 minutes, 2 seconds Carried ATLAS mission 3. <br> 14 1995 June 29 STS-71 39A KSC 9 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes, 17 seconds First shuttle docking with space station Mir. <br> 15 1995 November 12 STS-74 39A KSC 8 days, 4 hours, 31 minutes, 42 seconds Carried docking module to Mir. <br> 16 1996 March 22 STS-76 39B Edwards AFB 9 days, 5 hours, 16 minutes, 48 seconds Rendezvous with Mir, including crew transfer of Shannon Lucid. <br> 17 1996 September 16 STS-79 39A KSC 10 days, 3 hours, 19 minutes, 28 seconds Rendezvous with Mir, including crew transfer of Shannon Lucid and John Blaha. <br> 18 1997 January 12 STS-81 39B KSC 10 days, 4 hours, 56 minutes, 30 seconds Rendezvous with Mir, including crew transfer of John Blaha and Jerry Linenger. <br> 19 1997 May 15 STS-84 39A KSC 9 days, 5 hours, 20 minutes, 47 seconds Rendezvous with Mir, including crew transfer of Jerry Linenger and Michael Foale. <br> 20 1997 September 25 STS-86 39A KSC 10 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes, 12 seconds Rendezvous with Mir, including crew transfer of Michael Foale and David A.

These composite overwrapped pressure vessels were designed for a 10 year life and later cleared for an additional 10 years; they exceeded this life in 2005. NASA said it cannot guarantee any longer that the vessels on Atlantis will not burst or explode under full pressure. Failure of these tanks could damage parts of the shuttle and even wound or kill ground personnel. An in-flight failure of a pressure vessel could even result in the loss of the orbiter and its crew. NASA analyses originally assumed that the vessels would leak before they burst, but new tests showed that they could in fact burst before leaking. <br> <br> Because the original vendor was no longer in business, and a new manufacturer could not be qualified before 2010, when the shuttles are scheduled to be retired, NASA decided to continue operations with the existing tanks. Therefore, to reduce the risk of failure and the cumulative effects of load, the vessels will be maintained at 80 percent of the operating pressure as late in the launch countdown as possible, and the launch pad will be cleared of all but essential personnel when pressure is increased to 100 percent. The new launch procedure will be employed during the remaining Atlantis launches if no other resolution is found. Atlantis will have to fly at least once under this requirement. <br> <br> After the STS-125 mission, a work light knob was discovered jammed in the space between one of Atlantis's front interior windows and the Orbiter dashboard structure. The knob was believed to have entered the space during flight, when the pressurized Orbiter was expanded to its maximum size. Then, once back on Earth, the Orbiter contracted, jamming the knob in place. Leaving "as-is" was considered unsafe for flight, and some options for removal (including window replacement) would have included a 6 month delay of Atlantis's next mission (planned to be STS-129). Had the removal of the knob been unsuccessful, the worst-case scenario is that Atlantis could have been retired from flight, leaving Discovery and Endeavour to complete the manifest alone. On 29 June 2009, Atlantis was pressurized to 17 psi/120 kPa (3psi-delta), which forced the Orbiter to expand slightly. The knob was then frozen with dry ice, and was successfully removed. Small areas of damage to the window were discovered where the edges of the knob had been embedded into the pane. Subsequent investigation of the window damage discovered a maximum defect depth of approximately 0.0003 in/0.0076 mm, less than the reportable depth threshold of 0.0015 in/0.038 mm and not serious enough to warrant the pane’s replacement. <br> <br> Valued at $1.7 billion, willing to take offers.

I will get bored and lose interest otherwise. <br> <br> -Must be into exciting and potentially dangerous activities, like stealing road signs, driving like a maniac, and getting arrested by the police. <br> <br> Actually, scratch that last one. There is a difference between risky and reckless. Then there is “retarded.” (I’m still undecided on where to place “posting personal ads on Craigslist.”) <br> <br> In turn, will never call you too much (although I won’t hesitate to call you out) nor will I make you feel guilty about not “spending enough time with me.” I won’t nag you about commitment (or “where this relationship is going”) because it will never be “that” serious. We won’t talk about feelings because—well, I’d rather not. <br> <br> Only short-listed applicants will be contacted (no phone calls or multiple e-mails, please). <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-05-12T12:20:40-07:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sba/1737517917.html Emotionally unavailable woman seeking emotionally unavailable man text My Porn Watching Pig Boyfriend http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nhm/1629950745.html So you like watching these porn-sluts get pounded and creamed? OK, I get it, I kind of like some of that too.

Because, at the end of the day, the "new" hardcore is rather degrading, and there are too many limits being pushed. Here are a few of mine that keep getting tested: <br> <br> 1) If you don't stop slapping my tits and pinching my nipples that way, you won't ever see them again. I hope you like my parka, cause it's going to become my new lingerie. <br> <br> 2) Don't ever spit on my face again, I think I made that clear, sorry about the sore balls. <br> <br> 3) I used to feel proud that I could swallow, now I feel pretty gross after you dick whip me and make me eat it off your cock and fingers like it's punishment. I would do all that for you anyway, but when you hold my hair and call me names and make me, there's that line I was talking about. <br> <br> 4) Pussy to mouth is kind of freaky, I'm totally ok with that. Ass to mouth is something else altogether, stop even joking about it. If you should ever decide to "forge ahead" with that one and see how it goes, I'll bite your fucking dick off, I swear I will.

I'm also sorry to hear that you're dealing with declining enrollment due to the fact that middle-class families are no longer willing or able to bet their homes on a $45,000-a-year higher education for their children. I really am. <br> <br> So, what I want to know is, why are you wasting money on glossy fundraising brochures full of meaningless synonyms for the word "Excellence"? And, why are you sending them to ME? Yes, I know that I got a master's degree at your fine institution, but that master's degree hasn't done jack shit for me since I got it! I have been unemployed for the past TWO YEARS and I am now a professional resume-submitter, sending out dozens of resumes a month to employers, and the degree I received in your hallowed halls is at the TOP OF IT and it doesn't do a fucking thing. <br> <br> You know, maybe if you wanted a little bit of money from me (and these days you'd get about $3) maybe you should send me a fancy color brochure admitting your role in the bubble economics that got us all in to this mess. <br> <br> For example, since 1987, higher education expenses have gone up 450 percent, while personal income in this country has gone up 87 percent, making tuition IMPOSSIBLE to afford without special financing. But, during this time, you were thriving because people could come up with the cash in two ways: <br> <br> 1. Get a home equity loan and use the inflated value of their house to pay for their kid to get drunk and/or raped at your school and then lose the house when the market crashed. <br> 2. Get a federal loan. <br> <br> HAD IT OCCURRED TO YOU THAT NEITHER OF THESE SOURCES OF MONEY ACTUALLY EXIST? THAT IT WAS BEING MANUFACTURED BECAUSE YOU MADE PEOPLE THINK THAT ONE OF YOUR DEGREES WAS NECESSARY TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE BUBBLE? <br> <br> Oh yes, federal loans. I've got $40,000 of those, which are in "forebearance" right now because I'm unemployed, meaning that the feds are paying the interest for a while, which is convenient for me, but not for our government which is now owned by China. You know, the idea behind federal loans was that it would allow more students to attend your university, not let you INFLATE your tuition to obscene levels! I mean, what the fuck were you spending the $16,000 per semester on, anyway? I was in a public policy program, so that meant we got to sit in classrooms and listen to Professor God up at the front of the lecture hall glorify Himself and Creation as He saw it and talk about how much smarter he was than anyone else and how much he'd learned at MIT and the RAND Corporation. <br> <br> Really, that's about all you did for us -- gave us a lecture hall, gave us an arrogant bastard to listen to, and gave us a room full of computers we could use sometimes, and you gave us a degree that employers look at and say "This guy knows how to write reports. Amusing." And I will be paying for this privilege until I am 51 years old. <br> <br> So I'm sorry that the economy's been rough on you. Maybe, if you wanted to save a little money, you could stop printing and sending brochures to my parents' house (oh yeah, that's where I live because I can't afford rent on ANYTHING). And, maybe I'll donate a little bit of money to you in 2030, when I get the loans for your imaginary education PAID OFF! <br> <br> Sincerely yours, <br> Alumnus <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Seattle, WA <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-26T11:35:51-08:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/1619190174.html Dear University Alumni Office text Using a Port-a-Potty http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/snj/1618848861.html With all the recent postings regarding ettiquette in various sectors of "service", I've decided to post one of my own. I am employed as a Port-a-Potty technician, and I'd appreciate it if you'd take a moment to follow these simple rules the next time you're in one of my outdoor comodes: <br> <br> (1.) Curb the urge to inscribe your ex-lover's name, telephone number and favorite sexual performance on the inside walls. Even though I met my current wife by calling one of these phone numbers, they're usually just made up or out of service. <br> (2.) Try to deposit all of your feces inside the sitting platform hole. Some people seem to have trouble with this one, and it is very difficult for me to scrape dried fecal matter from the very porous plastic platform. <br> (3.) Refrain from writing your initials/gang affiliation on the walls inside the septic unit using your feces. <br> (4.) I realize it makes a good prank, but please stop tipping the septic unit while your friend is inside with his/her bowels in full action. Someone could be seriously injured while the unit is rolled over with a person inside and/or the fecal matter and urine inside the tank overflows. It creates more of a mess than the prank is worth. <br> (5.) This one's for the women patrons...kindly deposit your soiled tampons, maxi-pads, panty-liners, or whatever menstrual cycle fluid absorbant you choose inside the built-in disposal compartment. Some of our lady patrons seem to think the built-in urinal is a good place to dispose of them, but I must say you're misinformed. That feature is designed for male patrons to urinate, and your tampon merely clogs the drain hole. <br> (6.) Do not attempt to retrieve your cell phone, wallet, nose piercing, penis ring, keys, wedding ring or whatever else you consider valuable and have dropped inside the fecal matter collection bin. As a dedicated Septic Tank Technician, I am entitled to my Tips as well, and as the old saying goes: "finders keepers, losers weepers". <br> (7.) After performing sexual acts in one of my Port-a-Potty units, kindly discard your soiled condoms and wrappers in the appropriate trash container. Don't simply leave them on the floor for me to pick up later. Your dried semen is more difficult than chewing gum to scrape off the floor. <br> (8.) Do not smoke in the septic unit. Your feces emit a highly explosive gas, and can ignite when exposed to flame. Serious bodily injury or even death could result!! Besides, I have a security deposit on each of the septic units I'm responsible for. <br> (9.) Kindly be environmentally aware that using too much toilet paper doesn't necessarily mean better wiping action. Years of research has indicated that, properly used, 2 feet of toilet paper is equally effective as 6 feet in fecal matter absorbing action. <br> (10.) No matter how creative you may be, please refrain from sticking a fully-loaded wad of toilet paper on the inside walls of the septic unit. Yes, it may present a pleasant art display (when properly dried) for other patrons to enjoy, but it becomes very difficult to remove. <br> (11.) Be considerate of your fellow citizens waiting to use the septic unit after you. Napping and/or sleeping in one of our septic units is prohibited. If you're that tired, go to the rest room at your local bus depot. <br> <br> Well, thank you for taking the time to read my post. Think of me the next time you're out and about and feel the sudden urge to relieve your bowels/bladder. Have a nice day!! <br><br><ul> <li> Location: parking lot <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-26T11:39:08-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/snj/1618848861.html Using a Port-a-Potty text free toilet, needs tlc http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/ric/1616580496.html Could be fixed up.

You might make an honest living taking photos of shit you stole, hell that might make a great Gallery Title, "The Shit I Stole: Reflections on Urban Living in The 21st Century". You might even get into Francesca Woodman-style self-portraits that you could take with my stolen cameras, make them real artistic, with a shallow depth of field, that's what you can afford (or I guess, can't afford because you are a damn thief) when you have a 50mm prime lens attached to the Canon A-1 (that's the black one that you stole) that opens up to a 1.4. Fuck yeah, I'm giving you photography lessons, so at least you can shoot right, I mean what the hell were you gonna do with two cameras that no one wants anyway-- don't try to sell it to some Midwestern tourists in Times Square, man, don't sell it in Times Square in general. It's a 35mm film camera, who the hell wants to pay fro processing now that you can take a picture with your cell phone? Why didn't you steal my cell phone instead? The camera on it is a piece of shit, and you would be making much more money off that, and I hate my phone so you'd be doing me a favor. <br> <br> In your grubby hands you have a Canon AE-1-- that's the silver one with a zoom lens on it. You can set it to automatic exposure so you wouldn't have to figure out metering or f-stops. Also you can really impress some chicks with the blue-jeans denim strap that comes with it, because you will look like Peter Parker in the sense that you will resemble a nerdy high school photographer from the late 70s. You should really do yourself a favor and get some polyester pants. You will not impress anyone else, however, because it's just about the most basic student camera Canon's ever made. <br> <br> And that A-1? It doesn't belong to me, so double fuck you for stealing my camera and stealing my friend's camera. He got that for $10 from his friend's mom on Long Island, so don't expect to sell it for any more, unless you're selling it to other assholes like yourself. It's got a squeaky shutter and might not take anything past 1/125 (that's the shutter speed, you moron, it means the shutter is open for 1/125 of a second, to refresh your memory), unless you wanna get real artsy and overexpose everything. <br> <br> Finally, there are some miscellaneous shit in there: <br> <br> a Firewire 800 Cable - this will not be much of use to you <br> <br> Camera Logs - like you'd even understand them <br> <br> a half-read secondhand copy of Albert Camus' The Plague - Listen, you dick. I was 110 pages into that and until I buy another secondhand copy of that book I'll never find out what happened to Dr. Rieux and the rest of the people in Oran. Maybe you could skim through it and summarize what I missed in a book report. I dunno, man, maybe you're in the middle of an existential crisis, that's why you're stealing shit, right? to assert your existence or whatever. well, you should read that book. you might get a kick out of it. just don't use it for kindling for your garbage-can fire under the 59th street bridge. <br> <br> Three rolls of shot film - This is what I'm pissed off about the most. I took some pictures over the weekend with those cameras and they're still loaded with film. I hope you didn't open them in daylight like an idiot, not knowing that the little cardboard square that said "Ektachrome 64" under the viewfinder meant that it's LOADED, you fuck. There are shot rolls of Portra 800, 50D, and 1600 in there (film speeds-- the higher the number, the more sensitive the film, you jackass) that are pretty important to me, and would have absolutely no use to you. If you could do me a favor and drop those off at Forum Photo on Waverly and Washington Square East-- ask for George (I will not ask him to punch you in the mouth), or just drop it off under the name "Jerk McAllister". You can even shoot the rest of the rolls in those cameras and I will pay for matte prints with a white border for you, so you can show your thief buddies all your photographic skills. I can already picture the great canted angles and center-framing you're cooking up while looking for someone to take those cameras off you so you can get your next heroin fix. <br> <br> Keep the freakin' cameras if you want. They were cheap. They'll come and go and to be honest they were kind of on their last legs. I just want the freakin' film. You can even keep the leather case, I'm not sure if it's real leather anyway. You're probably not up for this but I might as well ask, there might be some sort of Robin Hood-like pity in your burglar heart. <br> <br> Of course, I'm perfectly aware that you might have just been a Good Samaritan and returned it to a police station or you're looking for clues around the the case to determine who it might belong to. If this is the case, then you can disregard all that mean shit and I hope you email me about getting it back. I'll even throw you a couple of bucks and buy you lunch. But I'm also perfectly aware that if this was the case it would be raining gumdrops from marshmallow clouds and we'd all be singing showtunes. So, more likely than not, you stole it, and now you're trying to sell it on craigslist. <br> <br> So fuck you. <br> <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-22T13:02:39-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/1612563385.html You stole my freakin' cameras text Top Ten Most Overused Phrases In Personal Ads http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/1611490608.html <i>Below is my list of the <b>Top Ten Most Overused Phrases In Personal Ads.</b> If YOUR ad does not contain any of the following phrases, please contact me immediately! </i> <br> <br> 10) <b>"I live life to the fullest!"</b> <br> <br> <i>(Is this really the most profound philosophical statement you can come up with?

The house is quiet; the coffee is brewing; and I'm sitting in front of my computer anticipating another one of life's wonderful little pleasures: perusing Craigslist's Casual Encounters. There is nothing quite as satisfying (and, dare I say, stimulating?) as scrolling through the smorgasbord of sexual delights that is offered free-of-charge via Craig's Online Hook-Up Service. <br> <br> But, lately, I've been having a problem with periods. Yeah, periods. Now, normally 'periods' and 'sex' are not something that most people want to talk about - at least NOT in the same sentence - but I think that the time has come for us to open up, and to admit that maybe there IS a place where periods and sex can coexist. Take the following post, for example: <br> <br> "lookin 4 a guy who is hott ready to have fun and get me off not just sex but mentally as well be cute or dont aply be with in my age younger is ok and will consider a suga daddy!!! have fun good luck" <br> <br> This sounds great...doesn't it? (I'm hott, cute, and would be a good suga daddy!) But what about her periods? Is she old enough to have periods? Is she missing her periods? Maybe she's too embarrassed to include periods in her posting. This has got to stop! There is no reason why women can't use periods in their postings when they are offering sex. It's natural; it's normal; people will understand; and, frankly, it just makes sense. Why should women be embarrassed about periods, or be afraid to use them in their postings? Sure, sometimes periods are a pain, sometimes they can be an inconvenience, and sometimes it's just easier to skip them, but there is no reason why sex and periods can't go together. <br> <br> I enjoy my Sunday-morning trolling, but I'll take my sex with periods (and exclamation marks!)...anytime.

Slim, with the black hair We had the whole floor of the law library (now apparently being renovated) to ourselves. It was late at night, we were both stealing glances at each other. We got around to talking at last, and I asked you if you were going to be studying all night. "Oh yes, all night," you said, pausing to smile invitingly before you added, "At least, that's the plan..." There were plenty of empty, dark rooms, offering stupid amounts of fooling-around possibilities to us. But you ended up being too scared to go beyond anything but the blind under-the-table groping, constantly scanning the area as if some unseen (possibly Catholic?) authority figure was going to leap upon us--<i>"Fornicators!"</i>--and, I don't know, lock us in a frightening gun store bondage basement to be sodomized (which would seemingly contradict the whole Catholic impression I first had). Anyway, for some reason, the countless shadowed nooks and crannies we could have been cavorting in seemed less favorable to you than our table in the middle of the room, devoid of any cover whatsoever. Maybe you were afraid I would murder you or something? Whatever. The building closed. I left frustrated that we had come so close to a possibly fulfilling impromptu encounter. <br> <br> And you! Really hot blonde in the PCL lab that one night! We made out for a minute or two, I got handfuls of your great ass through your tights. We heard somebody coming around the corner, broke apart, waited for them to pass. After that you seemed to lose your nerve, even though we were literally standing right in front of an empty room no one had any reason to enter! You were convinced that somebody would walk in on us. So our encounter, which had only just been starting to get really hot, came to an abrupt and lame "separate-ways" ending. I went home that night with a seemingly permanent erection and masturbated in frustration and anger against God. Against all the world. It could have been so good. <br> <br> And goddamn you, gorgeous short-haired brunette with the Death From Above 1979 tote bag and great taste in music who I ran into in the Union. The place was practically dead, and those bathroom stalls on the third floor are impossibly clean! I tried to explain this to you, but you, too, lacked the courage, convinced that we would be heard. <br> <br> <br> Please UT girls.

No one is looking for these guys. And I see why. They hump everything in sight, try to dominate our old doggies, try to eat our cats and pee on everything and bark at everything. Neurotic, lick constantly. They know no commands, either in English or Spanish. They are aggressive and probably lived in a puppy mill. You dumped them, probably, and we picked them up before they were killed by traffic. Unneutered, no tags, under 1 year old small males. I hate you, person who dumped these dogs.

We put signs up all over, put a found notice in at the local pounds and if you were looking for these filthy little ragamuffins, you would have found them. We are afraid to take them to the pound because under stress, your dogs were snappy and horribly afraid and dogs are judged by temperament for adoption placement. They would not have passed that test. However..... <br> <br> They are, under their filth, mats and horrible habits, adorable. They have learned "Quiet," "Come," "Sit." They have stopped being so neurotic and we have broken most of their bad habits in just a few days. They are smart and sweet and are looking for guidance and WANT to be good little dogs. One is a purebred little white and buff guy with an under bite, the other is a brown little dog that looks almost exactly like a miniature version of a larger breed dog. They know each other and were obviously (by the same bad habits) raised (poorly) together. We will get them neutered, train them and get them into a good, loving home with people who use the brains God gave them. <br> <br> If these are your dogs, come on by, I'd like to kick your ass. <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Atlanta <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-18T16:42:03-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/atl/1607058449.html You aren't looking for them, but I found your two dogs. text How To Catch A Date On CL http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nfk/1605343796.html Gentlemen, <br> <br> Here are some words of semi-wisdom from a real live 30-something woman on how to up your chances that a real, live woman will respond to your post. <br> <br> 1. She probably won't. That's right - women really do rule the roost here. Respond to her post. But... <br> <br> 2. If you are up for a challenge and can write funny (you know who you are), then you definitely have an advantage. <br> <br> 3. If you're not sure whether or not you can write funny, you can't. See points below. <br> <br> <br> 4. Stop whining about getting spam. You are a man posting on CL. You will get spam. Deal. <br> <br> 5. Put your age in your ad. <br> <br> 6. If you're a man 25 years or younger, go to a bar and get rejected in person. It builds character. <br> <br> 7. Unless a woman asks you to send you a picture of your penis, refrain from emailing or putting this type of picture in your post. I believe there is this thing called "internet porn" (perhaps you have heard about it) where I can look at all the penises I want to. <br> <br> 8. The "I wonder if he is a serial killer" photo. Oh, you know what I'm talking about. The photo shot of your bare torso in the mirror sans head. Id rather see no picture at all because all I can think about is "It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again" from The Silence of the Lambs. But if you are looking to give off the serial killer vibe, then you're on the right track! <br> <br> 9. HEADLINES IN ALL CAPS will only get you noticed because its fucking annoying. Lets look at an example. FACE DOWN ,ASS Up and let me HANDLE it. Oh, yes, Im all over that. It made me really hot that you apparently dont know where a comma should go. Oh yeah baby. <br> <br> 10. For all you $$ generous guys out there your prices are way too low, especially if you want that hot college coed. $2000/month for up for 4-5 times a month is a good market value price to begin with. And, no, I am not a pro. <br> <br> 11. Speaking of non-pro only did I miss the day where people stopped using the word hooker or is that just a sly enough euphemism so that your post wont get removed? Does this mean that us non-pros are not pros in the bedroom because youre not paying for sex? ;) <br> <br> 8. You write defensively and are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore. Example: "I'm a hot guy with really high standards. I make a lot of money. What is up with all the fat chicks here? Im so sick of this shit. If you email me, send my your stats AND a picture. I mean, I'm a hot guy." And blah, blah blah... <br> Gee, I like nothing more than going out with someone who is angry, defensive and who is incredibly sexually frustrated. Good times! <br> <br> If you are that bent out of shape, call a hooker. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're safe. I'll save the "non-pro only" commentary for another time. <br> <br> 9. Run spell check, use apostrophes (e.g., "ur" instead of "your or you're") and there's this thing called a space bar that should have come with your computer - use it. <br> <br> 10. Women will most likely not list their weight in a post. Swap photos in the first or second email exchange. If she's reluctant to send a picture, this could be a red flag or she may not know how to use any basic computer program where she can send a photo showing her body type without her face. Come to think of it, this could be a red flag as well. <br> <br> 11. There are no real 18-22 year old women who post here. I know this comes as a shock. Take a couple of deep breaths. It will be okay. <br> <br> 12. Avoid the use of the following phrases and words: Asian pearl (are you kidding me?!) and Yearning for Asian poontang (even if I was Asian, I would want you as far away from my poontang as possible). <br> <br> Happy hunting! <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Hampton Roads <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-17T15:26:17-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nfk/1605343796.html How To Catch A Date On CL text Shadow Kitty - Thank You - m4w http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/1604951280.html Dear whoever left me "Shadow", <br> <br> I work in public accounting and lead a pretty miserable life. We work horrible hours and I have almost no time to do anything else in life. One day (December 1st, 2009) after leaving work at 1am, upon heading to the parking lot, I noticed a box in front of my silver bmw. Scared of what was inside, I imagined it to be either a) a bomb, or b) full of baby kittens. Hesitantly, I gently tapped the box with my foot, nudging it knowing the chance of it being a bomb was pretty low. The box felt light - too light to be a box of kittens. In fact, no one meowed when it shook. So I took an even greater risk and peeked inside. I see a tiny baby kitten sitting inside with an empty water dish, soft pillow and warm blanket. Never having thought I would own a cat, I was about to leave the kitten there for someone else to find. However, it was approximately 35 degrees outside and with no food or water, the kitten would surely struggle through the night. So I placed the large box in my passenger seat and brought the kitten home with me. <br> <br> The tiniest cat I have ever seen, she has the softest black fur, sweetest face and gentlest personality. On the box, in a child's handwriting an index card was scotch-taped to the side saying "Cat's home" and written on the box was "Shadow". Whatever the circumstances were, since you packed the box with the water dish, pillow and blanket, I can only imagine how much you wanted her to have a good home. This note is a simple thank you, and letting you know she has a wonderful home now and she has brought so much joy into my miserable life. Things are starting to look up, and I will be making life changes soon and hope to find new employment. As far as I know, an angel left Shadow for me that night. <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-17T09:00:01-08:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/1604951280.html Shadow Kitty - Thank You - m4w text Sea Monkeys http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/bou/1604286957.html Please rescue my son's Sea Monkeys. <br> <br> The Sea Monkeys were a well-intentioned gift from a relative, but my son has poor vision and can't see them at all, so they've become Mommy's problem.

As shown except that our tank is red, not blue, and that the eggs have already been hatched. <br> <br> They would be a great dorm pet as they don't take up any space and are quiet. Really, they would be a good pet for anyone.

(Tips!) http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sat/1602837659.html Dear Men of Craig’s List that post ads in the Casual Encounters section, <br> I’ve been observing and laughing and on the verge of vomiting, so I’d like to give you a few tips to increase your chances of scoring a casual encounter, here on Craig’s List. <br> <br> I’ll divide this up in sections: <br> Section 1: Photo tips <br> Section 2: General ad writing tips <br> <br> Section 1: <br> -We HATE tiny cell phone pictures. What’s the point of posting them if we can’t see anything? Just get a damn camera or borrow one of your friend’s cameras, its not that hard. <br> Also, its never a good idea to use photos of yourself from family functions. We want to fuck, we don’t care what your families look like, so break out the pics of your skivvies lizard! <br> <br> -Portly men, don’t take upshots of your faces, because it will make your double chin multiply. <br> This also goes for skinny guys, because this is NOT a good photo perspective. I’m eyeing you, Latino men who do the “what’s up” face or the faux gangster lean. <br> Even if you’re skinny, the underside of your chin will look fat, from that perspective. <br> <br> A clear shot, straight-on or slightly angled above and pointing down produces a flattering photo for nearly every face and body shape. <br> Also, don’t wrinkle your forehead, the way the VAST majority of you do. This distorts your features and over a short time, will give you wrinkles. <br> <br> -If you REALLY want to up your chances at getting laid, you must post a picture of your body AND your face. <br> It is BEYOND my understanding how some of you men will post your ad with no photo. Yeah, like women are going to be sooo eager to blindly want to swallow your sour cream rifle and let you fuck them because you’ve written such a tantalizing, misspelled ad with text abbreviations! <br> <br> Anyway, I know you want to be discreet, but for a lot of women, the face HAS TO BE THERE. The body can always improve, later on. <br> Women are not like men, we won’t fuck just anyone with a hot body. You can have the body of an Adonis and the face of Carrot Top and most of us still wouldn’t want to pirhouette on your pole. <br> Case in point: Michael Phelps couldn’t even pay me to fuck him, suck him, or even give him a damn hand job. VOM. <br> <br> -DON’T put a picture up of yourself wearing a blue tooth headset. Come on now, you can take that fucker out of your ear, NO ONE is going to call you, right as you’re taking your nude shots. I’d wager that 90% of the time that you blue tooth addicted bastards have that thing in your ear, the only calls you get are from your mother or the mother of your kids, because you haven’t paid this month’s child support, you deadbeat dad. <br> <br> -DON’T post pictures of yourself with former sex partners/girlfriends. No one wants to see who their fuck buddy has fucked before. <br> Especially the same pic I keep seeing of some dude with his stain-maker between a chubby woman’s pale, blue-vein-plagued cow titties, with the weird invisible colored nipples on the very south end of the utters. <br> <br> -DON’T post pictures of the sex acts you want to do with us. We know what it looks like. Doing this just makes it seem like you lifted the images from your favorite porn sites. <br> We don’t want to think about the large collection of XXX images that you’ve culled from the web and have hidden in a secret folder on your laptop, labeled “Fappaccino”. <br> <br> -DON’T post headless pictures of you with your cum all over your naked body. That’s not hot, because we don’t know what your face looks like. Your cock shot shouldn’t look like cutting room floor frames from a poorly made David Lynch-inspired student film. <br> <br> -If you have an appendix scar, its best that you don’t crop your face out of the photo. Appendix scars are generally repugnant, so you’d have better luck scoring some lady love if she happens to like your face. A hot face excuses an appendix scar. <br> <br> -Ashy cocks are NOT hot. Ever. Moisturize before you take your pictures, please and thank you. <br> Chances are that you were getting all hot and bothered, with the thought of even taking nudes of yourself, so there’s no excuse why you didn’t moisturize, since I’m sure that all of you jacked off, after the picture was taken. <br> <br> -Why on earth do some of you post flaccid cock shots? Don’t get me wrong, I love cock and I even love the way it looks flaccid, but I’m in the vast minority. <br> Most women think that flaccid cocks are ugly. You’re here to find someone to fuck, so you need to post a pic of what you’re going to deliver, duh. <br> Even if you’re huge, most women will be turned off by a picture of your sleeping sandworm. <br> <br> -If you have a particularly small package, your best bet is to zoom in with your camera and take a pic of your wee one in a mirror, to give the illusion of a bigger nuke. <br> Don’t you dare put your hands on or near it in the photo! We’ll be able to gauge how much you’re lacking, by comparing your tater tot to your hand. <br> <br> -The shot you love to post where you’re lying down, grabbing your piss whistle is not a good angle. Your junk is always going to look smaller, especially with your hand covering the area that connects your root to your body. Unless you’re a very well-endowed man, don’t do that. <br> <br> The side view is always better, because it flatters most cock sizes and gives us a good idea enough view of your tent pole, to decide whether or not you’re going to be worth contacting. <br> <br> -Trim your pubic hair! We don’t want to see kinky curls surrounding your jizz syringe, golden straw poking out three inches from your body, or a pubic bush that resembles Phil Spector’s court room white boy fro. Thick bushes likely harbor an acrid smell and/or prime real estate for crabs. <br> <br> You expect us to clean our shit up, so heed your own advice! We do a lot more than you ever will. You can handle swiping a BIC across your shit, once in a while or a few passes with a handheld electric shaver. <br> <br> Pubic hair shouldn’t sprawl all over your inner and upper thighs, like climbing Ivy vines. <br> If you want any kind of attention paid to your balls, shave them, or at the very least, trim the hair. <br> It is sooo NOT HOT when rogue ball hair tickles the inside of your sex partner’s nostrils, when they’ve so graciously decided to give your balls that rare, royal treatment. <br> <br> We don’t expect you to shave off all of your pubic hair (some of us prefer that you don’t), we just think that you need to mow the lawn when you can’t find the garden hose in the grass anymore. <br> <br> -DON’T post pictures of you grabbing your cock through your boxers. It just makes us think that you have a small cock and this is your not so clever way of camouflaging it. You could have a two inch penis in there with a half eaten Kiolbasa from lunch tied to it with dental floss. <br> Even if you’re the proud owner of a twelve inch train, it might be ugly or it might have something awful, like herpes on it. So, we need to see your bare cock. <br> <br> -Choose your sheets wisely, when taking a nude photo that involves your bed. <br> If you’re lying on mauve silk or floral-overload sheets, we’ll think that: <br> a.) You’re gay <br> b.) You have a girlfriend that buys your sheets from the clearance section at Anna’s Linens <br> c.) You live with your mother and you’ve got a disgusting fetish for doing nasty things in your mom’s bed, probably while wearing her above the navel panties. <br> <br> Section 2: <br> #1 rule of writing a fuck ad: <br> Spell correctly and don’t type your message like you type your fucking texts! <br> You’re not a 16 years old texting queen, you’re a man and you should spell correctly and write out your words in full. <br> If you’re not proficient with basic spelling, write your message in Microsoft Word first, so the spell check will point out your errors. Then, copypasta to your ad to Craig’s List. Simple. <br> I know that you’re horny, but if you don’t put forth the effort, you’ll never get the results that you want. <br> <br> -DON’T describe yourself as “cute”. <br> Puppies are cute, Sanrio characters are cute, and that morbidly obese baby from China is strangely cute. Describe yourself as “handsome”. <br> Even calling yourself “hot” is always up for debate and can come off as cocky. <br> <br> I know that you essentially have to be a car salesman on this thing, and that some of you are trying to sell a lemon to an unsuspecting first-time buyer, but you really shouldn’t get ahead of yourself. Because, if we get interested enough to take a test spin, we might not even put the key in the ignition because the car wasn’t at all as it was described. <br> <br> -Choose your headlines better. Here are two examples that pop up often: <br> 1. “Young hot cum sluts with big tits that love hot loads in their throats ONLY!” <br> Dude, you watch too many pornos. Real life is not like that. Your porn lingo is not hot. I’m sorry that when you were a kid, your mom’s boyfriend of the week exposed you to porn at such an early age; that truly is a form of child abuse. <br> <br> 2. “Hard rite now! Need to cum! All horny ladies msg me!” Um, no. <br> I don’t care if you’re hard when you post your ad. By the time anyone contacts you, your hard-on will have deflated. <br> Just tempt us with good photos and leave the current status of your hard-on out of it. The urgency makes you seem pathetic. <br> Also, refrain from using the word “need” in your ad, especially in all capitals, which is equally pathetic. <br> <br> -DON’T post more than once in a day. Hell, even more than once in a week. <br> Multiple postings give the impression that no one wants your bald-headed yogurt slinger. <br> <br> -Asking for just a blow job and only a blow job is an unrealistic request. <br> Do you actually think that a good-looking woman is going to be desperate enough to drive her ass all the way to your home, suck your dick, and leave? <br> <br> Again, stop watching so much goddamn porn. Take a few minutes out of everyday, to put the bottle of hair conditioner and the remote down and step outside, breathe some fresh air, and interact with real people. <br> <br> If a girl is going to suck your cock and let you cum down her throat, there’s a good possibility that she’s got a prescription for Valtrex in her purse. <br> The girl who will giddily respond to a bj-only ad is a girl who has to take what she can get, because no one will fuck her STD-ridden pussy. <br> <br> -When referring to vagina, don’t call it a “kitty” and please, don’t spell it “kittie”, that’s fucking dumb. The word “pussy” is acceptable in this particular forum. <br> I’ve actually seen “beef curtains” mentioned. Are you fucking serious? Wow. <br> There’s a variety of ways to successfully dirty talk and then there’s using the word “beef curtains”. Don’t compare vagina with anything you can purchase from a deli! So gross. <br> <br> -I love how you guys sometimes claim to be rich or uber-successful business men. Haha! <br> If you really were, you wouldn’t be on Craig’s List, you’d be able to hire someone to wrangle pussy for you. <br> <br> -You guys with the lactating preggo fetishes need to get some fucking help. Mother issues are soooo NOT HOT. <br> Same goes for you psycho fucks that want to bring feces into the boudoir. You need to GTFO and check yourself into a mental institution like…NAO!!!!! <br> <br> Follow these tips and you will increase your chances of getting laid via Craig’s List. Soon, you’ll be questioning whether or not you’ve got strep throat or something much more delicious, and getting the text: Missed my period. What do we do now? <br> <br> Good luck in the casual sex game. May all the women that respond to your ads look like the photos that they’ve sent you and may all of your fuck dates go as planned! <br> <br> And lastly… <br> ALWAYS, ALWAYS practice safe sex. :) <br> <br> Sincerely, <br> Labia Majora <br> <br> <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: San Antonio <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-15T22:45:35-06:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sat/1602837659.html An open letter to the men who post in Casual Encounters.

You gave me life and quirky personality peccadillos. You gave me shelter, food and you were probably a lot cooler and more fulfilled before you had kids. Let's get the love thing down first. Much respect and love. <br> <br> But this madness has got to stop. <br> <br> It's been ten years since your genitals started repelling each other like polarized magnets and the vow of "til death do us part" became "ehhhh...not so much" and you got divorced. Instead your respective genitals started latching onto other peoples naughties like there was Elmer's glue on them. That's cool. Statistically likely, even, but how about now, we all start acting like fucking grown-ups. <br> <br> Look at your spawn, me and my brother. We are not, as you seem to think, human telephones. You being responsible for our genetics would be AMAZED by the lack of dials, button and digital wires on our persons. Should you ever need to use the telephone to contact each other, I would recommend AN ACTUAL TELEPHONE. Yes, it will involve verbal communication with your ex, scary I know. But if that's too much, email can swiftly communicate all of the curses and epithets you have for each other in one fell swoop. <br> <br> You are both remarried. You get along with those spouses. You have high level exec jobs where I assume you have a maturity level above that of a sixth grader. You have friends. Perhaps even some of your co-workers or spouse of friends are people you do not like, but you manage to treat them civilly, don't you? Let's play a game where you treat each other like that! <br> <br> Yes, Bro and I played you little game for the last ten years, but I'm officially putting the kybosh on it today. I really do not care if you now hate each other with the burning intensity of a thousand suns; the moment your gametes merged and created a child, you got stuck with each other FOR LIFE. Deal. The. Fuck. With. It. <br> <br> Mom: Thanks for being my biological roommate for nine months. I'm sure Bro feels the same. Very cool of you. But you are a career-driven distant lady and probably bipolar. It's okay. Lots of people are. And accept that you cheated first and married the man you cheated with. Yeah, Dad's got some resentment. Accept it and don't resent the resentment, that's lame. You don't have to be best friends with Dad, that would be weird. But if you have something to say to the man, FOR GOD'S SAKE just say it. The Chinese Whispers needs to stop. I will not ask a 50 year old man to get in touch with his son. I straight up won't (even though I think he should). If your opinions are so strong on the matter, may I kindly suggest you TELL HIM YOURSELF LIKE AN ADULT. I've got my own stuff going on and I don't really care how people mess up their kids. My role as your mouthpiece ends right now. <br> <br> Dad: I just said I wouldn't tell you this, BUT CALL YOUR SON, FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Seriously? Seriously. Bro is 19, an overweight underachiever, he could use a strong male role in his life. Think you might be the one he wants, maybe? Because my awful stepfather is "step"ping right into that part. That should send shivers down your spine. When he wants to visit you, he doesn't need you hovering over him like a child, but a weekend away from Casa de Crazy and Mom and Stepdad. Seeing your kids is not an unreasonable request. If you're resenting him for sharing genes with someone you hate, how do you think that makes me/us feel? Classy. <br> <br> Stepdad: Stop trying to my friend/friendly. It's okay, normal even if we're not best buds. I can count on zero fingers the number of people I know who are friends with their stepdad. I wouldn't like you even if you weren't CREEPY AS FUCK. I'm your wife's daughter, man. Stop hitting on me. The slightly too long hugs. The time you walked in on teenage me masturbating and DIDN'T LEAVE AND APOLOGIZE IMMEDIATELY AND STARTED A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING INSTEAD. The time I was nude modelling to pay for school and you said you should sign up for "art lessons" (pukes). Last summer when I was playing with your son, wearing a short dress and you kept "accidentally" moving behind me. Just stop. Mom, if you ever tell me how "good he is in bed" again, I will vomit in your closet. <br> <br> Stepmom: You're cool as hell. I've got no beef with you. Except maybe that your dogs are maniacs. Get Barkbusters in on that shit. <br> <br> In summary, <br> <br> Parents. Phones. Use them. <br><br><ul> <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-12T13:07:27-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/tor/1597825172.html Parents - Please stop the madness text every girl that dreams of dating a bearded uptown hipster with a bike http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/min/1597338520.html let me just remind you that when you take away the fixed-gear bike, the messenger bag, the scarf that's worn year-round, the ironic t-shirt, the dumb shoes, the pbr, the tattoos, plugs, and the stupid beard, we all look the same. <br> <br> so, are you really in love with a guy or his accessories? or is it that you're in love with the whimsical idea of an urban lumberjack type who will go on "adventures" with you, meanwhile being perfectly content with doing what every other human being our age does: drinking and fucking? <br> <br> also, tell me about the last black guy you dated. what's that? you can't? cause every fucking uptown hipster is a white boy from the suburbs. <br> <br> the uptown wannabes from the suburbs grow up idolizing the current inhabitants. when they're old enough, they move there, grow beards and do the stupid shit that kids do (eg. drink). what's ironic is that this new generation then grows up and becomes the new kids to be idolized by the new uptown wannabes from the suburbs. it's an endless cycle of superficiality, facades, and stupid kids seeking affirmation from their peers. <br> <br> the truth is, NONE OF YOU ARE COOL! <br> <br> i wish i could be there, 20 years from now, when you look back at pictures of yourselves from today. it's like explaining zubas in the 90s to someone today. <br> <br> irony is not timeless. <br> <br> marry a guy with a yacht. <br><br><ul> <li> Location: uptown <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-12T04:05:16-06:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/min/1597338520.html every girl that dreams of dating a bearded uptown hipster with a bike text Hey Snow Nazi in Warren http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/det/1596697441.html Dear Neighbor in Warren - <br> <br> I'm not gonna shovel out the walk, so you might as well call me in now. <br> <br> I work 12-14 hour days. My wife left almost a year ago to go relive her college days (she's fucking the third or fourth in a line of grad students at the U of M, from what I hear) and saddled me with the mortgage and car payment. The dog now hates me because he's cooped up in one room all day long when he used to be home with the wife (too busy doing yoga to stay limber for the college studs to get a job when we were together) and could go outside or at least have run of the house all day. <br> <br> Thanks for the dirty look when I saw you out walking YOUR unleashed shit-machine-on-four-legs this morning. Must be a bitch to be shins deep in the snow while your dog clamors into my yard to leave a steamer in the drift. Noticed you didn't have a bag with you and kind of caught the way you just kept on walking without picking up Rover's turds as I rolled up the hill towards another hourlong commute. <br> <br> Hey, asshole. Guess what? I'm not an independent consultant or whatever the fuck it is you told me your job is when I was checking out your wife's ass at the neighborhood picnic this Summer. I'm a sales manager. I get up early, go to the office, slug it out listening to salespeople tell me that our customers won't buy our services in this economy (or as I call it, 'whining about shit that's really not my problem') until well after you've had your supper, and typically make it home about the time you're settling in to watch Real Housewives of Orange County or whatever closet cocksucker show you watch after you put little Peyton and Jacinda to bed. <br> <br> I'm beat when I get home. I eat a sandwich, pet the dog a little, sort the mail, and wish my wife wasn't a cum guzzling whore for a Carlson School of Management's Spring '09 MBA candidates, each of whom is gonna finish fucking my wife, defend a dissertation, get offered a job without having to make a meaningful search, and earn six times more money at age 22 with no experience than I am at age 40 with a BS in marketing and 18 years never once having missed quota for base-plus-ten-percent. <br> <br> The LAST thing on my mind in these moments of lamentation is putting on the Carhartts and shoveling out the sidewalk when it's -15&#65533;. I gotta get up in six hours and get back to the office. I work for a living, and to tell you the truth, when you called the City to complain earlier this year about snow on the sidewalk and I got the $30 WSB invoice from the City for them to come by with their brush-blower, I happily paid it. It was worth the $30 to not have to go out and stand in the wind for 30 minutes. <br> <br> So this is your fair warning, oh neighbor of mine...might as well call me in now, because it ain't getting any warmer the rest of this week, my job ain't getting any less demanding, and as far as I know, my wife has every intention of continuing to let the next generation of useless MBAs keep screwing her spit-lubricated ass. Which means I have the perfect combination of prohibitive temperatures, discretionary income, and anger at humanity in general to keep paying the city to clear the sidewalk in from of my house well into Spring. <br> <br> More snow on the way! <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: Warren <li>it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</ul> robot@craigslist.org 2010-02-11T16:50:06-05:00 Copyright &copy; 2012 craigslist, inc. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/det/1596697441.html Hey Snow Nazi in Warren text From a girl who loves casual encounters http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lnk/1596333194.html So I just need to get something off my chest. <br> <br> I like sex. <br> <br> No, I take that back. I don’t like sex. I LOVE sex. I love men, and their bodies, and the way their muscles move under their skin, and the power I feel when making them moan. And I love casual encounters. I work hard, I’m busy, and I don’t really want a boyfriend. A fuck buddy? Hell yes. Being able to call someone on a random Friday night, have them come over and blow my mind? Yes, yes, yes. Hell, if they’re good, they can even sleep over. If they’re really, really good, I might make them breakfast the next morning. Pancakes and eggs after some mind-blowing sex? Sign me right up. <br> <br> But you know what I don’t love? I don’t love guys that assume that because I’m looking for a casual encounter, I will just show up and fuck them. Umm… have you ever read the news? I’m not interested in getting chopped to little pieces here buddy. I’m going to need to meet you in a public place first and make sure you’re not the next Ted Bundy. Seriously. Letting you into my house, not to mention my vagina. Hoping to survive both experiences, thanks. <br> <br> Also, “no fattys” pisses me off. First off, I am a fatty. Not like “morbidly-obese-I-break-a-sweat-walking-up-the-stairs” fat, but I’m definitely not a size 8. And I can respect that some people are just not attracted to a bigger girl. But you know what? You’re on fucking craigslist, posting pictures of your dick. Perhaps you don’t have much room to be picky. Perhaps that “fatty” will blow you and your mind. I have yet to be told I’m not good in bed, but boy have I heard that I’m the best they’ve had. You know why? Because I LOVE SEX. I don’t have the best body in the world, but I do amazing things with what I’ve got. <br> <br> Oh, and to the married creepers? Die. Seriously, wtf? I may be terrified of marriage, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t respect the idea. Never in all my life will I ever help someone cheat on their partner. Never. No, not this once because you “eat pussy so well”. I wouldn’t care if I came from you looking at me. You are married. I will never go there. Get a divorce if you are that unhappy. You are a douche. <br> <br> Also, spelling and grammar count folks. I don’t need to fuck a brain surgeon, but I like to think the person I’m sleeping with is intelligent enough to spell pussy correctly. If you can’t take the time to run a spell check, what makes me think you will take the time to really satisfy me in other ways? <br> <br> And finally, I’m open to a lot of things, but when I set limits on who I’m interested in, respect them. I say I’m not looking to meet anyone over 34 because I am 27. Seven years older than me is the farthest I can go and still be attracted to someone. I have a father. I don’t need one in bed. Likewise, all you cute little early 20-somethings, I’m sure you’re nice, but no. I have siblings that are your age or younger. I can’t do it, no matter how awesome you are. It would make me feel dirty, and not in the good “spank me, I’ve been naughty” kind of way. <br> <br> So yes. That's my rant in a nutshell. Common sense can take you a long way in this world. Good sex can take you farther. <br> <br><br><ul> <li> Location: S.
