Craig and his wonderful list

listerine bottleThe 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...

Skinny pigs are neither skinny nor pigs -- but they still need friendship.

Ferrets these days have gotten so advanced -- they're even using computers now.

Noted: goats don't actually make funny Christmas presents.

You could have your very own tiny flock with these miniature sheep.

A sugar daddy is looking for his, um, sugar baby.

This woman's looking for someone to hang out with -- just make sure you don't have "nose-numbing halitosis."

"We met at dusk, our eyes melted together like grilled cheese." Fish tacos were also involved.

He says to the Lens Crafters girl: "i'd love to spend the afternoon staring into your eyes." So, in other words, it would be just like work.

This UAlbany student gives her professor high marks.

Switching your neighbor's lights off and on for four hours -- not so bright.

This sink would be in excellent condition -- if, you know, it wasn't "dirty and nasty."

And this item is just tons of horse crap. Really.

hahaha whenever I feel bad about my life, I usually check out either the Craigslist personals (including the sugar daddy/free rent combination type ads) as well as F My Life -- http://fmylife.com

A little sad, but it works.

I wish I was making this up, but my sister got a goat as a wedding gift from her (now-ex) husband. It chewed on her dress during their ceremony. Goats aren't good presents for any occasion.

The Chestnut street guy was pretty funny at first, but then he flip-flopped and started acting like a psycho. Background check? Inadvertently threatening his person and his family?! If he did do a background check it was an illegal one, and he can get into trouble for that. I don't blame him for being extremely frustrated though; what the guy's doing IS douchey. He just needs to tone down the threats a wee bit.

I love this feature. However, while clicking the links to the different ads I decided to peruse the Missed Connections for other funny ones at which time I found one for me. This will be the third, I think, and every time it just gets creepier.

I would say there should be a social rule that if you wouldn't say it to the person you shouldn't post it in a Missed Connection but then it wouldn't be so funny.

Emma & Alana, I do the same thing. However, I have never found any for me, thus never got creeped out! Thank goodness!!!

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Let's stop romanticizing farming - it's not fun, it's not all bucolic pastures and adorable baby animals, and it's not a great way to make a living. It's dirty, filthy, back-breaking 24/7/365 work that is done for the LOVE of animals, family, and the land. Let's start to RESPECT farmers and do what we can to see that they are actually able to earn a living.
