The best of Craigslist is really funny
I caught Hubby giggling online last night while getting ready for bed and asked what was going on. Men wrestling in tight clothes? A computer sale? What could it be?
"The best of Craigslist," he said.
"What?"
"You don't know about that?"
Ug. Hubby always knows about way cool sites but forgets to tell me. That's life with an Internet-hipster. (Someone really needs to come up with a term for this. Like your friend who knows about the hottest restaurant or fashion trend, this term describes someone on the online cutting edge. Don't settle for e-hipster, my friends. You can do better than that.)
Anyway, Hubby read me the best of the best of's list and it was quite entertaining. The list appears on the left side of city's page.
Here is a sampling.
need a female companion 4 anything: "I need female at least 18 and no more than 50 years old to spend the day with this summer. I prefer for them to live near Penn Square Mall. If not, then at least somewhere I can ride the city bus to meet them. I also prefer for them to be a city bus rider. One other thing: ABSOLUTELY NO MALES, GUYS, NOR BOYS!!!!!!!!! If you...
...are a male, then I will not answer your reply. I hope this does not creep or offend anybody. Thank you."
GAP JEAN MINI SKIRT, size 1, FREE: "maybe it was the scorching hot weather in the mission today, or the 2 huge canvas bags and one plastic full of perishing groceries that i was lugging down folsom st with the sound of jack hammers ruthlessly invading the only spare sensory space that i had left in my being, or the gross men making comments and staring me down like a bunch of motherf*&#king animals or maybe it was the fact that the skirt rides up when i am walking fast and not fixing it every 15 steps because i don't have the hips to keep it in place, i never have and never will, only reminding me of the awkward preteen years in middle school, or maybe it was the fact that it has no back pockets and meager front pockets that slowly edge any contents as i walk flinging my grocery list pen on the ground for me to have to bend over to get with a crap load of swinging bags of groceries or maybe i was just tired of all the b.s. when i made the decision, but regardless of the circumstances surrounding my choice to end my relationship with my Gap, size 1,basic jean mini skirt, it is truly over and UP FOR GRABS to the first taker.?"
need girl to please teach me to kiss - m4w: "As seen on TV! I'm a 20 yearold GA Tech student who has never kissed. I have been going out with a girl online for the last 5 years and she's finally coming down to see me on the 11th. She tells me it's a big turn-off if a guy doesn't know how to kiss, and she even dumped her last boyfriend because of this. I want to make a good first impression, but I've never kissed before! Please, I need a girl to practice kissing with, nothing else!! Just kissing lesson - nothing more nothing less! Some have asked if I have terrible oral hygiene or something of that sort, so I included a picture of me showing my teeth! I'm pretty normal overall. Will send more pics on request! Email me at mmccarty3 at gatech dot edu"

I think your hubby should become a permanent contributing blogger for your blog!
You, Carolina and Dean will get his services for free and his humor and insight to other areas of the "deep web" may bring out other "hidden" bargains beyond what your column and blog were originally envisioned as.
For me, this just makes the Daily News oh so more valuable to read!
I really got a kick out of the fact that you actually got your own section of the paper! Yes, it was a weekday, and in theory, a slower news day, but still, your own section, with ads below. Great graphics as well. Still mind boggling for a big city newspaper. I would expect something like this in a medium size city such as Boise, ID.
What a great segway to read the ever so skinny classifieds section, which of course is not the fault of the Daily News, LANG or Media News Group...well maybe because of pricing of the little classified ads as compared to...you know, that other service on the web partially owned by eBay...I forget it's name, but it's run by some guy by the name of Craig. lol
Anyway, congratulations on the new section.
Now the next step, you and Nancy Luna over at Freedom's Orange County Register need to join forces...that would be some big column and a super size blog! Maybe Dean can get together with Freedom and come-up with some sort of joint-venture.
Julia, adding humor to your website is just another reason to check it out every day. Keep up the good work!
