Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist ventriloquist dummiesThe 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 drank your coffee like you were making love to it. I imagined, for a moment, that I was your cup... "

"You groped my friend on the side of the bar only to ask him how he would let me go out in red jeans."

"[Y]es I'm looking for a mom at a school who drives a mini van hahaha yeah that should narrow it down."

That's some stare.

This week's is-it-a-euphemism-or-not: "I tossed you a cookie, you gave me your number..."

"I think I'm a pretty awesome guy if I do say so myself, weird, strange, perhaps creepy, but awesome."

"Hate to sound sleezy but..." OK, that's usually when to stop.

He'd like to stand in cold field with you, perhaps for a frustrating amount of time. Upside: You might see something beautiful.

"[I]f you like wine that helps, cause my church group girls are wine drinkers..."

We want to know about the martial art in which a person dressed like they're from the 19th century hits someone in the face in slow motion.

As Craigslist trolling goes, this is pretty close to the target.

I can't believe you dragged that photo up from the depths of hell. It's horrifying. There were baby goats and you chose those murderous hell beasts instead. I'm never reading AoA again.


(Kidding - I love you guys...but seriously, lay off the scary dolls).

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
