This Week on Craigslist

Our weekly look into the odd, strange and bizarre at one .org

Can’t you just feel love of sisterhood in this one? Some “wash your mouth out with soap” language here, folks, so be careful opening it at work. Any guesses as to which Drexel sorority this is? (Though, as sorority alumna myself, I can understand how these kinds of feelings happen. I just wouldn't post about them for fear of a Panhellenic smackdown.)

If you happened to see McGreevy while you were there, sign me up!

Hot damn, this poster really does want to save the world, one man (or car) at a time. Some might call him stupid or, well, we’ll stop here.

This post is for those who think that Ikea instructions aren’t so friendly. Don’t you want to punch out that smiling Dutch Swedish man who seems like he’s having so much fun while putting together a table/bookcase/nightstand/bedframe on those wafer thin pages (she writes as she types at her Ikea desk, which took three tries, assistance from her mom, and a stubbed toe to put together)?

M4W casual encounter ads we won’t open (or list here) either. Though the titles are funny.

The word is: Sweet.

Reading between the lines, the only thing I see is two words too common on Craigslist: “foot fetish.”

Anyone looking for a sugar daddy? Anyone?

Considering that a sonnet is a 16 14 line poem of rhymed iambic pentameter (abab cdcd efef gg for Shakespearean and abba abba cdecde or abba abba cdccdc for Petrarchan), this hardly qualifies. And that picture is just gross. If you need an image to represent what you have to say, revise the poems. We suggest Poetic Designs by Stephen Adams. Or quitting.

See, at least this person tried. The rhymes are iffy, but there’s no picture of poop.

Topic of the week: backwards hats. I guess the heat has gone to everyone’s brains. Where’s the talk of Duke lacrosse players? Of stalkers? Summer does not mean that we have to limit Craigslist to such lame discussions. I have a column to write here.

However, this is one fashion item worth discussing. It’s a ridiculous look, people, one bound to go the way of Uggs with flippy skirts, pleated pants and ’80s bangs: looks that you wish no one had ever photographed you wearing. Avoid pain down the road and leave the leggings behind.

Actually, no. It makes me want to maim you. And that’s our “Oh SNAP!” of the week.
