Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist cute baby bunniesThe 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 delivered a package to me this morning and helped me bring it in then I helped you with your package."

It's probably frowned upon to grab the optometrist in that manner at the office.

He wants to make the sadness in her big brown eyes go away. (Maybe she just really needs coffee.)

The girl with the dragon tattoo apparently also has a fantastic bum.

Telling her she looks better than a Dunkin' Donuts sandwich isn't much of a compliment.

Bad Santa can sing, apparently.

If you're sleeping with him, you can probably just talk to him directly. Or call TWC customer service.

The actual reason why traffic is slow on the Northway sometimes.

Does "pillow" mean something else in this case?

Yes, ladies of a certain age, he would like to prance for you.

Well, it is hard to reach your back...

It's like these people wandered into Craigslist not knowing what it's actually like.

A missed connection as lament.

I want a bunny!!!

I just want to point out that no one should buy an Easter rabbit all willy nilly like. Rabbits are a 10 year commitment, they don't do very well with small children either. A rabbit can break it's own back trying to escape from someone who does not know how to handle them correctly.

Rabbits should also be neutered or spayed or else you will get to deal with territorial spraying and aggressive behaviors which is no fun at all. When I had my two rabbits neutered it cost $250 PER RABBIT, I can only assume that since spaying is a much more invasive procedure that it would be more costly.

Why not consider sponsoring a rabbit from the Woodstock Animal Sanctuary instead?

I'm gonna just be a buzzkill here and gently remind people that bunny rabbits are super cute and fluffy and I know it's Easter, but bunnies, especially baby bunnies, are a huge responsibility. They're higher maintenance than cats and just as destructive as puppies.

You can find good info about raising rabbits here: http://www.rabbit.org

And here's a funnier Easter message about house rabbits.

I want that FedEx man....

Just so you know, in New York State, selling baby rabbits under the age of 2 months old in quantities under 6 is a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for not more than one year, or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars, or by both.

New York Agriculture & Markets - Article 26 - § 354 Sale of Baby Chicks and Baby Rabbits

The reason for the law is to stop parents from buying cute little bunnies at Easter and then disregarding them when they realize they are work.

I ran into problems with the law when I bought my illegal Albany ducks. Agway wouldn't sell them to me unless I got six. I had to order them from California and have them shipped here (which is legal).

My grandfather used to give my aunt bunnies every Easter. On a related note, the bunnies "escaped" the same day that they had rabbit stew. She never connected the two events until my father told her a few years ago.

My dad brought home two bunnies once when I was a kid. He took them out to the garage and that was the last we ever saw of those bunnies.
