Do you ever read the Craigslist.org personal ads?

I do, but mostly as a joke.....

I mean, do you really want to search for true love in the same venue where people are giving away used cooking oil, broken stuff, and furniture that I wouldn't let dogs sleep on?

Don't get me wrong, there are some ok deals on there too. I've seen what can be collected with just a small amount of effort. There are things that worry me tho, like the spelling and stuff.....

You all know what a grammar Nazi I am.

Take this, for example:


Now, that's prolly a pretty good pet, and if I had the room, and well, the responsibility, I'd prolly have a dog like this, and in a perfect world, I might have helped this woman out.

That's the kind of thing I expect on the internet, so, I can live with it.

Then we have things like:



I have a word of advice for you. If you ever see the words 'perfect for burning man' in a description of anything, run fast the other way. The dead giveaway? No picture. Hear those sirens?

I can't think of a single time I've seen those words in an ad and even been remotely interested in anything that was proffered.

Ok, now a disclaimer:

What follows from this point forward may offend some of you. If you get offended easily, I suggest you don't read any further.

Unless you want to be offended.

In that case, go right ahead.

What we are about to experience is sexual in nature, and as it was researched on the internet, where truly any perversion can be extensively catered to, you might even say that it's explicit pornography.

That's not for me to judge. What follows are actual screen captures from craigslist.org free personal ads.



Last Chance.....

Ok:



I thought I'd have something to say in comment to this, but....I got nothin'.

Except of course, to restate an earlier observation: Beware the 'no picture' ad.

Although, pictures don't always help:



My favorite part? 'I'm looking for help in return.' That means she wants to get paid for sex. Does she not know we have legalized prostitution in Nevada?

Not that I've ever gone to the ranch and bought any. I have gone out for drinks tho. It's just one of those things you have to do at least once in your life if you live here.

Now for the grand prize winner....:



I mean, you have to hand it to her. She knows what she wants*, and she's not afraid to ask for it, but still.....

Makes me wonder, you know?

Buenos con queso,
