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

Needed: a companion for the "Lake George Nude Cruise."

Is this for real? We were willing to believe in the Golden Corral and the shouted obscenities, but the pajamas kind of pushed it over the edge.

A Craigslist "Strictly Platonic" car loan: Probably better than those "Casual Encounter" loans.


Unusual money-making opportunities this week:

Pirate voice for radio commercial. (The audition line: "Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?")

Do you have a baby? Do you fight a lot with your partner?

Stilt walker needed for May 3 party. The pay: $20 and free drinks all night. Job requirement: "be awesome" -- which presumably means, "Don't get wasted and fall on the guests."


Random items for sale

A Yosemite Sam mask ($25)

An inflatable Easter bunny ($25)

"A crazy jigsaw puzzle of Burt Reynolds displaying his bare butt" (make an offer)

A bingo shirt ($4)

An Albany/Colonie Yankees pennant ($15)
