Craig and his wonderful list

Good or bad, we'll let you decide...

This week's meet market: the Phish concerts.

The "closest thing to perfect" apparently works at DEC.

Who knew the "commitment bug" was contagious?

He's looking for a woman, half-naked, to roll over all over a Mustang. For his boyfriend.

This "banking professional" is "looking for a little "HO, HO, HO" or the opportunity to fill your stocking with...uhhhhhh...cheer."

This guy basically wants to pay you to let him stalk you through a store.

It sounds like this guy doesn't need a woman so much as a life coach. And maybe a typist.

He's looking for "lame" straight-edge vegan girls.

Apparently there's a woman in Guilderland who makes Sarah Palin "look ugly."

He's a cub in search of a cougar.

He's looking for some funny women who will respond, "Hell ya i like to bowl."

She says she doesn't bite -- so talk to her.

And when everyone has EZ-Pass, there will be no more toll booth crushes.

At least it's not a half dead cat, eaten houseplant, that's for free.

There should be a "Craig & his wonderful list" post all about how CL posters of the Capital Region don't seem to know what 'strictly platonic' means.

Amor platonicus: derives from Plato's "Phaedrus" et al. Reflects the philosophic or chaste homoerotic relationship between a man and a boy. Plato believed this was a gift from the gods. Historical fact.

The woman looking for a "friend" to watch movies with in her jimjams while her husband is gone? Pathetic.
The husband's going to be gone a year, so he's either in jail or military. Either way that's incredibly awful. Her friends shouldn't worry about catching the "commitment bug" from her.

And the straight-edge vegan... looking down on those lowly vegetarians who dare to eat dairy products? I'm sure it's not hard to find a nice girl, but he seems a little uptight.

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind.
