Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist teddy ruxpinThe 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...

Could this "average, lonely, dime-a-dozen craigslist guy" be one of the most honest people on Craigslist?

He sounds like a real ambassador for Saratoga.

She wants to fill the hole in her heart -- with darkness.

For some reason, this item reads to us with a Russian oligarch accent.

Ladies, he's hoping you'll accompany him as he tries to avoid tan lines.

They pass like ships. At Starbucks.

Debbie's friend is "incredibly beautiful."

Technically, we don't think you have to be over 21 to do those things.

We're not sure about a guy who can't hold his strawberries.

The fact that she sees your mom at Target on occasion wouldn't necessarily seem to be a basis for a romantic relationship.

Well, that would add to the creation myth of the band.

Wanted: athletic, small actor for role of "a four legged mutant monster" -- "NO ONE OVER FIVE FEET TALL WILL BE CONSIDERED."

Our guess for the contents of the bag: tacky lingerie.

"oh, how the fuzzy have fallen" hahahaha! I picked up a Tickle Me Elmo for my son at a yard sale for a dollar. Poor kid was so freaked out by it that he screamed & clung to me for dear life. Totally understandable. That's probably how I'd react to the John Edwards bobble-head.

Mark Andrew's photographic essay www.de-classified.com is by far the most interesting thing to ever come out of Craigslist

Hahahahaha. I stumbled upon this while trolling for a cheap PS3.

Teddy Ruxpin will attempt to "say" anything on the tape you put in him. Or at least I remember it that way. I had a few degenerate friends in Elementary school that would record themselves using the most foul language possible, then pop the tape in TR, leave him in the cafeteria, and see what happened.

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
