Craig and his wonderful list
The good thing about Craigslist: it's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations. The bad thing about Craigslist: it's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations.
Good or bad, we'll let you decide...
Pet lobsters don't travel well, apparently.
There's a needy parrot on the loose around the Union campus.
If you're a super villain tired of having your plans thwarted, this is your lucky day.
Hairy is OK with him.
Cinderella is looking for a prince so they can do extreme sports together.
Note to the cute Petsmart cashier: he's not going to eat the crickets.
This guy is obviously using the time-honored "a piece of wood fell off my truck to meet a state trooper" ploy.
"You were very apprehensive to chatting because I think your boyfriend was with you." Or maybe she just had to pee.
There's a cute girl who works at the Muddy Cup and has a long ligament.
Yes, it is only polite that guys in "a filthy tank top" give you a business card when hitting on you in a supermarket.
"If you happen to read this and want to get back to me, please tell me what is written on the ass of those shorts..."
"I would like my wet toes to get dried off if the offer still stands." Does that mean something else?
Just so you know, a "a base- model bmw 325" is not a "hot car". Got it?
Now, an off-road motorized wheel chair -- that is a smoking set of wheels.
Random item of the week: a giant Pooh. "Never played with by kids."

I hope that guy finds his parrot. I know how much it hurts to lose a pet. :(

RE: not a hot car
I think what this chap is trying to say is that he thinks all Albany girls are from Long Island? Based on his description that'd be my guess, because I don't know any upstate women who are into the spray tan, open-shirt, Gotti-blowout look in men...

The reason Pooh was never played with by kids, is because after the kids whined and moaned about wanting a giant Pooh bear at the Great Escape and daddy spent $250 trying to through a basketball into a smaller-than-normal-sized hoop to win the doll for them, the kids accidentally left the doll at the park after riding the Desperado Plunge for the 7th time. It now rests in the house of a Great Escape collector, right next to the wall mosaic of metal "Ghost Town" badges and leftover "Gaslight Village U.S.A." bumper stickers.

Re: "not a hot car"
Maybe if that dude stopped hanging out on North Pearl street and explored other parts of the city he would stop being rejected. I don't know anyone that fits the description he gave, but then again, I'm not 18 or whatever.

Re: "not a hot car"
Maybe I missed something, but when did Craigslist become Livejournal? There are different forums in which to pitch a hissy, sir.

@Litt1eMinx Since the majority of SUNY Albany students are from Long Island I think you may be right. And, if he hangs out on N. Pearl St. like Summer suggested, then that's the majority of girlshe would be meeting.

Re: not a hot car
This reminds me of an incident from high school. In the girls' locker room, there was a picture of the volleyball team. And over a girl's head was an arrow and the word "looser".
The point: A holier-than-thou argument is more persuasive when one knows how to properly spell.

@Alice
Maybe they spelled it exactly right. BAM
