MAGAZINES WANTED

I WANT A FEW RECENT (SINCE 2000) ISSUES OF HUSTLER AND PENTHOUSE MAGAZINES. MORE RECENT THE BETTER. BUT I'M NOT PAYING COLLECTOR PRICES - JUST OLD - DO NOT NEED TO BE IN MINT CONDITION.

It is truly staggering to me how much porn changes hands on Craigslist. But this ad, with its ALL CAPS immediacy and its insistence that the magazines DO NOT NEED TO BE IN MINT CONDITION may be the creepiest I've seen. I really can't imagine anything I'd definitely want in mint condition more than used porn. I mean, think about it. But not this guy--he'll take it dripping in fluids, as long as its old.

Old Fence Wood, Perfect for burning Man

Help your self 350' of fencing free

Check the calendar: It's January. Having driven through a scorching Nevada a week before Burning Man last year, I can tell you without hesitation that it's not for nine more months. Moving out here right before that godforsaken event, Craigslist was full of garbage for sale for Burning Man (broken bikes, broken tents, stained carpet, ripped tarps--you name it, they had it!). But who knew the ads would start this far in advance!

Graphic Designer / Web Producer / Web 2.0

Opportunity to leverage your design skills and create your own niche in an exciting media mashup widget platform company.

All those buzzwords crammed in at the end! "Widget Platform Company" rolls off the tongue so easily, doesn't it? It's like a game of Silicon Valley telephone. You almost expect to find "purple monkey dinosaur" stuck in there somewhere. They couldn't have crammed "social network" or "viral" in as well?
We are currently in the process of redefining our online tools which provide our partners and name brand clients an easy and viral way to reach their customers throughout the social networking space.

Oh.

chicago grl needs ride from SF to LA

i know its way early, and ill probably have to post this like 3 more times before something reliable. but, im going on a vacation from chicago to sf. and then i need to get to la to meet my best friend in the whole world up. i could put in 35 dollars for gas and possibly some greens?

Do you think she means Chard? Maybe Kale? Because who doesn't like a nice plate of steamed Kale when they're driving 600 miles.

free white icicle Christmas lights

We have three strands of white icicle lights where one side of the string is not turning on. I think it is probably due to one light not being tight or working. I think if you took the time, you could make them work.

This has to be the same ad, right? There's can't be more than one person trying to give away a broken string of lights? You have to respect the temerity though... Just keep asking, someone will come and get it eventually!

Christmas icicle lights

There are 4 strings of white icicle lights where only one side of the string is on. i am sure there is that one bulb out that makes the rest of the string not work, but I don't want to try to fix it.

Ho-ho-ho! I've got some broken lights that probably just need a single bulb replaced, but I'd rather just post an ad on Craigslist and buy new lights instead. Welcome to Christmas in California, where the snow is all artificial and the cheer comes with a hefty price tag--except if you want some broken Christmas lights. Good will to each and every one!

Are you into cows? Or someone you know LOVES cows?

Growing up on a farm, I had a pet cow. So for a few years I collected cow stuff... Stuff animals, cow banks (piggybanks), nick nacks and some kitchen stuff. I would probley say maybe a box or two of stuff. They are in great shape and just need to be dusted and given love. It took me a long time to decide to get rid of them.. that will make my hubby happy. But they are only collecting dust and now I am collecting dolls.

Whoa, out of the frying pan and into the fire with this one. I would rather live in a house filled to the ceiling with cow chotchkies than to have to live out the rest of my days with a doll collector. Those things come alive at night you know.
