Craig and his wonderful list

The 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...

"You and a friend of yours followed me because you had a dream that a white rabbit was going to lead you to your soul mate."

"We strongly prefer that you are 'true nudist'....we will know instantly if you are not." Uh... because they won't be wearing clothes?

Their love of Company of Thieves brought them together, but his fandom eventually kept them apart.

"You stopped at the light next to me and asked me to dinner..." 1. People do that? 2. And it works?

He wants to be spoiled with "friendship." (For whatever reason, it seems like there's been an increase in "I want to snuggle" postings.)

"Think about mcdonalds or the blow up mattress, that we had to take turns pumping back up because i wanted a damn cat." Ah, good times.

"There's a lot of things I'd love to teach you," he says to his "favorite" cashier at Hannaford. What, like how to bag a loaf of bread so it doesn't get smooshed? (Creepy much?)

"I don't care if you are a boy or a girl (or a talking rabbit, for that matter) as long as you're fun."

It's like he's running his own hot or not service.

This is just sweet. (Talk to her!)
