Craig and his wonderful list

chicken wings basketThe 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.

A "very high energy" man seeks "a high energy Asian woman."

Someone find this woman and convince her to stop smiling while driving -- it's not safe for the other drivers.

So... first date FAIL?

Apparently "seductively licking the wing sauce off my fingers while looking at you" didn't work for her.
