As part of my quest to locate a moderately reasonable ticket to the see the Eagles (it’s almost like I’m seeing how many times I can mention this concert on the blog!), I’ve been spending a lot of time on Craigslist. I’ve occasionally looked around on our local version of the site, but the past few weeks I’ve spent considerable time checking things out while I monitor (stalk) it for a concert ticket.
And frankly, I have to admit that it has left me wondering what on earth people do with their time. There are some truly interesting things posted on Craigslist in Springfield.
A few examples:
Free Food Delivered – Delivery Boy Fantasy
Apparently, this young man is eager to see some naked women. He offers a free pizza and delivery if you’ll come to the door naked, or in a towel (preferably that will fall off as you search for your pizza coupon). All you need to do is send him an email with your favorite kind of pizza, and be prepared to show some skin when you answer the door. He doesn’t want to touch … just look for a bit. (Um, ladies, FYI, don’t do this, OK?).
Brew Co Brewhaha
So, for you non-Springfield folks reading this, Springfield Brewing Company is a local microbrewery / restaurant in downtown Springfield. It’s actually a place I enjoy going, if only for the atmosphere. Apparently, someone complained about a meal they had there on Craigslist, and a former cook there responded with some of his own eyewitness accounts. Now I’m sure disgusting things happen to our food in a lot of places, but from what this young man said, Brew Co.’s kitchen staff is especially disgusting. Hmm. Good to know.
Stuffed Bunnies
$3 for three stuffed bunny rabbits. Used, but in “good shape.”
That’s really all, I just thought someone might need a few stuffed bunnies.
Young Ladies Wanted
Craigslist definitely caters to the dirty old man. There are seriously dozens of listings – in all kinds of categories, not just personals – for men in their 50s and 60s seeking college age girls for “good company.” They naturally pay for everything, and just want the company of a young woman for a few days. Wonder if any old men need a moderately young woman to accompany them to a certain concert? Hmm ….
There’s plenty of legitimate listings and deals going on through the good workings of Craigslist. But I get a creepy feeling that lurking amongst the everyday Craigslister, there’s a serial killer just waiting for someone to step into his/her snare ….
