Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist companion goatThe 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'm already working the full depths of my willpower to deal with you sober; I think alcohol might be a very bad idea for me in this condition."

"[I]f you're creeped out by Halloween decorations as home furnishings and the darker side of things I may be creepy to you."

It's like reading the treatment of a Jerry Springer episode.

Where they draw line on being naked with other people.

It's good to know there are people who listen to the "don't be creepy" voice in their head.

"I complimented you on your shapely back, and that's when we started talking." Is that how it works now?

She's interested in driving a manual transmission, apparently. Oh, wait...

"I probably have t-shirts older than you."

Yes, well, maybe Brad's braid is still a bit hurt and needs some time.

Kind of disappointed that some sort of double entendre involving rent wasn't used here.

The thing about spooning is that it sometimes leads to forking.

Not sure she's interested in him so much as his itinerary.

It's ladies in boots season again.

He's a keeper.

Do you think those goats can be house trained? They couldn't possibly be more destructive than my younger dog was for his first year and a half.

Is that a coo coo clock I hear? No, nope, just the clucking away of the mentally unglued on Craigslist again.

You AOA guys sure love your goats

i so want a goat. they are so cute and spastic. #troychickens #troynogoats

Listen up animal lovers, goats belong on a farm. Not in the city or in your suburban back yard. For once, take yourself and your selfish needs out of the equation and think of the well being of the animals.

Duh. I also dream about snuggling koalas and panda bears.I know they don't belong in my house (and I know they are not snuggly with people) but I can pretend I'm all Snow White with the cute fuzzy creatures. Goats are incredibly adorable and silly, wonderful creatures and sometimes us city folks need to dream.

Edison Console Phonograph? This is amazing. There could be a monthly post of just amazing things if there were more antiques on Craigslist.

@ valerae. i dream about snuggling the same things.
