More Fun with Craigslist: The Weirdest Posts on Craigslist.Org

You Thought You'd Seen it All...

Ali Canary
The best part about finding the weirdest posts on craigslist is that, unlike your local classifieds, craigslist is nationwide, and you can access the listings for any city. Despite my intense temptation to go for an anything-goes metropolis like San Francisco or New York, I will stick to the Greensboro area, listing the categories and dates so you can look up the posts for yourself, if you are interested. Here is a sampling of the funniest, silliest, most bizarre postings I could find on craigslist (PG rated version, anyway):

FOUND FULL BREAD DOG (JAMESTOWN)
Lost and Found, 4/11/10
Canary Comments: Does a bread dog come with his own plastic bag? I'll bet he makes good sandwiches. If he is a full bread dog, I assume this means there are no slices missing.

"Case in point. In North Carolina it is a felony to steal livestock, dog, or bay of hay. But it is a misdemeanor to steal a cat, or drive drunk and risk other lives on the road. "
Who Should Own Guns? Politics, 3/25/10
Canary Comments: First of all, that's a lot of hay, so I understand. Secondly, stealing a cat is harder than stealing a dog, so you essentially pay for this crime up front.

"Are you one of those who like to watch people being raped?
If you are then may you spend eternity in a very warm place. If not then why would you watch as Lady Liberty is being raped daily by the drunken federal government? Our freedoms are being stripped away and tossed aside, our lives are being forever harned because these people know no limits to their atrocities. Again the rape her and we watch, will you take a stand to stop the impoverishment of this nation? Will you take a stand to stop the rape of Lady Liberty, will you stand to let her children live their lives again in peace and in hope of a better tomorrow?"
Politics, 3/27/10
Canary Comments:
Man, this category brings out the best in people, doesn't it? And the SEO is pretty canny, too: "rape" appears 4 times, and he even throws "stripped" in there! If only the spelling lived up to the hype...I'd hate to think my life was being harned. It sounds kind of bad.

well draw what u want (ramsuer)
for sale / wanted > arts & crafts, 4/13/10
Canary Comments: Well, maybe I will.
(The name of the town is Ramseur, by the way. Who can't spell the name of their freakin' town????)

So, that is a simple random sampling of bizarre and silly craigslist postings for the Greensboro area this week. Please feel free to add additional snarky remarks (resnarks?) in the comments section, because I am quite sure I didn't completely mine that very rich ore.

    I did join Craiglist, but got a bit confused, and didn't want to make a fool of myself... Nice to see others aren't so bothered!

    I rarely go on craigslist. Maybe I should look at it more often. Thanks.

    Oh, no, I would never presume to out-snark the Queen.

    Ali, you are a trip! I love it. :-)

  • Nancy Tracy4/15/2010

    Makes you hope the well draw people actually draw well since they can't spell for beans. P.S. Bailey beat me to that irresistable bread dog pun.

    Many CL advertisers deserve to be harned-- but it's much more fun to laugh at them. ;)
