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...

"I noticed Tea Party and Grateful Dead stickers on your car - you're a poseur, do not defile Mr. Garcia like that."

"You commented to me how beautiful the building was, but couldn't take your eyes off of my breasts."

They were dancing in the deli.

An important question of modern life: Is that guy really a smoker?

"I acted really weirded out (maybe I was a little bit) because I thought that's what you do when someone randomly starts speaking to you but I thought you were really cute."

Who steals a large cast iron urn?

"Just need a good group of capable, intelligent people for some adventures that aren't going to look at you like you have three heads when you break out a bowl!" After the pot, though...

Instead of simply blocking out the person in the photo, they asked a hive of bees to obscure the view. (Probably.)
