Day 107: Craigslist

Craigslist is one of those love-hate relationships I have. Occasionally I'll use it to look at potential housing options or browse furniture and other things I might need but I rarely end up actually using it to obtain any of these items. Most of the time I just end up laughing.

Last time I was looking for a prospective living location there was a house listed "Free Rent" which included a fabulous list of things the renter (young female preferred) would do for the owner - including, but not limited to, cooking, cleaning, and massages. So basically a live-in girlfriend or concubine of sorts without calling it that. I almost took it since it was free but some of my friends advised I look elsewhere.

The last few days I've been browsing jobs, furniture and musician-related posts on Craigslist just because those are all things I need/want. Tonight I found a new category called "Talent" and it may be newest favorite place to look for wonderful posts like this:

Girl needed now, huh?  Obviously I clicked on it...

Oh... ASAP. Good description.  The one for the blonde was similar with some spelling errors and more description - as in "Looking for tall, slender blonde - will pay $400."  Now... for what reason?  Who knows? I don't think I want to know. But it did make me chuckle.

I also loved this one:

Awesome. It's the newest form of a dating site - although, Craigslist does have a dating/meeting-up (aka hooking-up) portion of their website. I guess there aren't enough places to look.  And hey, this is a stand-in girlfriend for free drinks. I'm still considering responding because that's kind of like a job, right?

Anyway, thank you Craigslist for the many wackos that you allow to post on your website.
