Three of the Funniest and Weirdest Posts on Craigslist

If You Want It, Craigslist Has It..

J G Hodnette
Since 1999, Craigslist has been a great way for people in large cities to advertise for jobs, advertisements and internships. However, there are some people who want to use the website to advertise some strange things. Here is a list of 5 of the weirdest of these posts.

1. Computer Repairman: Date: 2010-02-03, 2:21PM EST "Does your computer not work as well as it used it, but you are scared to bring it to someone to get it fixed because you don't want anyone seeing what you've downloaded?

I fix computers for under $100. Completely confidential, i don't even look at your files. I just wipe out the hard drive and and reinstall windows. Your computer will be as good as new. "

2. World's Most Uncomfortable Saddle: Date: 2010-01-01, 11:41PM PST "Like a ghastly specter from your darkest nightmare, this saddle has returned from the grave seeking vengeance. Its previous master thought it had banished it to the blackness of the abyss for good, but nay, it was only for an epoch.

Features:
*Steel rails forged by LUCIFER himself
*Genuine Auroch hide seat provides maximum chafing

I am reaching the end of my strength, as the madness contained within this dark artifact threatens to consume me. I cannot merely throw this adamantine saddle on the rubbish heap, lest some unwary passerby become transfixed by its lightless glow. No, I must only give this to one with the courage to look into the bloodshot eyes of insanity, and the strength to master it. A wizard with the cunning to master this beast gains an ally of unspeakable power: the ultimate theft deterrent. At the moment the thief straddles your steed, his fate is sealed. Eager for revenge upon mortals, the saddle will visit his arse with blisters that rival the torment of fire and brimstone... a dire lesson he will not soon forget. This same fate will befall any unworthy mortal who in his arrogance, attempts to mount the saddle of doom. Are you worthy? "

3. Teach Me How to Kiss: Date: 2009-12-13, 4:44PM EST "I need a guy to teach me how to kiss. Ideally, it shouldn't last longer than five minutes, seeing as how most guys creep me the fuck out. I'll give you five dollars, so it'll be like earning a dollar a minute. Think about it, there's a recession going on. Who wouldn't want five dollars in times like these? If money doesn't appeal to you, I'd be more than happy to do your homework for you (I'm Asian).

I prefer a guy who doesn't have bad breath, open sores, or a mental disorder. Also, it'd be nice if you're not a geriatric (30+ yrs) or jailbait (-18 yrs).

Just a warning, there's a strong possibility that I may run away mid-kiss. Please don't take offense, and you can keep the five dollars.

Please respond with a picture, I want to make sure you don't have any lesions or swollen lymph nodes.

:) "
