Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist hedgehog pairThe 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...

The writer would like you to role play. As the whale from Pinocchio.

"Well I saw how horrified you were when that kid started throwing up, it kept sticking to his face, like chunks of pizza or something. There was puke everywhere."

"I looked into your eyes and you looked into mine and I had to make myself look away because if I didn't I could have and would have looked at you for the rest of my life and that wouldn't have been very polite to the women I was having dinner with." Yes, we imagine that would have irked her.

"Would luv to rub my face thru your fur someday. WOOF!!!"

"I wasn't about to chase you down on foot..." Well, let's see if you're as fit as you say you are.

Why do we have the feeling that's not exactly what her orthopedic surgeon meant?

"I removed my shirt to show you because I thought you were making a move, but after you felt it nothing happened." Awkward.

"Needy naive female seeks disingenuous cad for poor treatment." You know, for art.

Guys, she has a huge TV and loves the Yankees.

"I don't snort when I laugh, children do not run away from me, and dogs generally come up to me because they know I'm cool."

He's seeking a "hot chick"... to serve papers.

It sounds like she needed those extra toes to survive.
