craigslist raccoon catThe 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 know, that doesn't look like a cat.*

The nine step guide on how to use Craigslist to "feel like a dumbass."

"I would have payed a lot more attention to dancing with YOU you than to my AIR DRUMMING all night, unlike the chinstrap dude." The perils of a Rush concert.

Twice she almost called "the most devastatingly handsome man" she's ever met -- but she lost her mojo.

"[T]he idea u had consisting of an alligator layin in a hammock and it still is one of the greatest ideas ive heard."

His desire has no period.

He puts that wrist band on all the ladies.

"I watched every bite you took of that sandwhich hoping we would make eye contact, but you seemed very hungry."

He fixed her flat and now she's hoping that maybe he'll fix her.

It's like a missed connection... for himself.

Let's hope they didn't go the route of Natalie Portman in that movie.

She's looking to create her own sorority house.

I have to stop reading these, because every time there's an animal mentioned I want to adopt it. It's a miracle that my menagerie doesn't already include various birds, livestock and animals with small hands.

Oh man, an alligator-in-a-hammock tattoo is the best idea I've ever heard as well. I might have to steal that one for myself. I know, I'll put it right next to my donkey-playing-golf tattoo. Its gunna be sweeeeeeet!

[C]ommon sense tells me (yes, I know one is on dangerous ground when invoking common sense) there's room for consensus here. Or at least compromise. Although something tells me the city won't back off its regulation against live chickens performing in those stand-up comedy showcases. I guess the city has this thing about chickens.
