best-of-craigslist

Here we go again -this "blog" is not original, I dont write original stuff and have no intention of doing so in the future. This is also not a fictional account of anything and because most of the material is sourced from different places on the net, I would classify this blog as "non-fiction" i.e. it talks about real stupidities, events or anything in that I happen to disagree with in general.

Having set the right expectations, lets us continue on this joyous exploration of second hand "gyan" (for non-Indians - this loosely translates to knowledge, not to be confused with academic bilge). When one is bored in life life questions crop up e.g. why does the world exist, what is the purpose of life, why am I single (or not as the case may be), oohh... how do I get my hands on that rare print of Tennyson's sonnets / Xbox360 / that hot dentist's assistant (not necessarily in that order). and this quest for "gyan" takes one to the distant corners of the internet... mainly the San Fransisco version of Craigslist.. where all of life's questions are answered (Except for THE question for which one has to refer to Douglas Adams). And I do mean all life questions are answered there. For instance..

• Lets say you are involved with a supre manipulative (bitch/jerk), and you would really like to beat them at their own game... here is an inspirational story ..Vasectomy: $400; Speechless look on her face: priceless
• Recent break up, cant move on? Having trouble not thinking about the (bitch/jerk)? One individual offers.. .........................................................No1. Post daily missives, alternating between maudlin, yet not entirely hopeless, pleas for reunion in Missed Connections, and scathing, wrathful inditements of the other person's character on Rants and Raves when plaintive Missed Connections posts are ignored. If your daily Craigslist ritual seems to be further deepening the chasm of your agony, create a list of tips for others who may also be struggling with the demons of misguided internet therapy. Rest here if you are in the said boat
• Ever wanted to simply have casual sex.. ended up gifting chocolate / Single Malt...and totally screwed up a happy happy situation? Wanted SWNS and ended up with NSAS? Listed under Casual Definitions Of Casual Sex, is a user's guide to managing expectations (yours mostly) when you get lucky!
• Got screwed by the ex? alimony / that lovely CD collection went with her / even the dog deserted you? and all you are left with is the overpriced ring? One dude is willing to make it all better by exchanging the said ring for a grand worth of booze plus miniature's stand! there is always a buyer .. so long as the price is right!!
• You are a guy.. have a social life that sucks (read none at all), want a girlfriend, want to advertise, dont know what not to put in.. here's help: 7 Habits of Highly Annoying People on CL m4w. If you dont know what the abbreviations mean.. look it up on the net you skiver.
• And for the women..... Some friendly w4m advice

Fascinating. However, though a bit late, must warn you that most of the content is totally inappropriate and certainly rated NSFW. If you get sacked for reading this at work - its your fault.. earn your keep. If you find some useful advice on these columns - good for you. and Please please .. as a matter of courtesy to the rest of us - try to develop a sense of humour. It just might make you a marginally interesting person (Kav. are you listening??). I have a bachelor party to attend so am off to get smashed. So should you - party or not. Single women without company for the weekend, give me a call....
