All Over Albany

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...

"Like a rom com, but better since the vapid hollywood nonsense would be removed; more like 'Before Sunrise', except we aren't in vienna (although I heard once that people referred to albany as the boring switzerland of the northeast, but that is really neither here nor there)."

That must have been some bowtie.

"Each time i saw you, you where carrying a tottem with a flag."

As it happens, this is far from the first we-were-in-a-car-accident-let's-meet posts on Craigslist. (Hey, maybe there's a dating site idea in that.)

"How would you like to talk for a lifetime?" Dude, you've known her for like three minutes.

Problem: the cute mailman doesn't deliver on her block.

He's looking for a part-time hippie concert girlfriend.

A little confused about what sort of work exactly this guy is looking to accomplish.

The subject for this one sounds like the start of a bad movie comedy pitch: "two hot girls want taco bell." (But it's like Harold and Kumar -- with women!)

In the future, the only Thruway tollbooths staffed by people will be labeled "Cash/Flirting Only."

"There was something warm and familiar about you, like coming home after a long journey."

How do you take someone else's laundry and not bring it back?

Pigeon returned.
