the craigslist phenomenon

I am supposed to be going to bed, but the ADD took over and instead of logging off the computer, 30 min here I am completely laughing my fucking ass off about the personals on craigslist.

Now, I am not a complete and total dweeb (do they say that word anymore?) I have heard of craigslit, and I even remember someone posting on the WW Core Board that it is the ONLY way to find a good apartment in the Boston area.  Apparently the classified ad's in the Boston Globe are utterly passe.  Anyway, I remember Soly saying that she pulled it up and found (wait for it)


erotica

Really? Of course, I was at work at the time and I couldn't go there because they have this stupid firewall and websense, whatever, I digress.

For some reason, I have craiglist saved in my popular bookmarks bar and I accidently clicked open each site in a separate tab. I begin methodically closing out these tabs, as, stay with me, i was only going to shut down so I could go to bed. Curiosity, better known as ADD, gets the best of me, and I am perusing the personals.

OMG, are these people for real. Do you mean to tell me that I live amongst these people and perhaps even have some in my office??  Because there just can't be people out there like that. Wait, wait, here is one for you reading enjoyment:

Seeking Cougar, 28, Davie

Another title: Dentist seeks slender blonde for fun evenings.


Oh. my. God.  I am totally ROFLMMFAO  I really, really am. 

Seriously, do you know how much blog material is available to me.

I so want to set up a fake email just to respond to these people.  I just might.

Of course, I would report back here.
