You know... every now and again I find myself with a minute of down time.  Could be at the YMCA waiting on someone to give up a weight set where for some reason they offer Internet access in the gym room ...It could be in town waiting on a client where thankfully I can pick up someone's insecure network for surfing myself, or simply waiting in line at the bank where I'll dial up the web on my PDA.   You can't do much in terms of productivity, what do you do?  Read the best of Craig's list for a laugh.  Take for instance this post about how to decode women's personal ads:

Ø 40-ish..................................49.
Ø Adventurous..........................Slept with everyone.
Ø Athletic................................No breasts.
Ø Average looking.....................Moooo.
Ø Beautiful..............................Pathological liar.
Ø Emotionally Secure..................On medication.
Ø Feminist...............................Fat.
Ø Free Spirit.................................Junkie.
Ø Friendship first.......................Former Slut.
Ø New-Age.........................Body hair in the wrong places.
Ø Old-fashioned........................No B.J.'s
Ø Open-minded.........................Desperate.
Ø Outgoing..............................Loud and embarrassing.
Ø Professional................. ..........Bitch.
Ø Voluptuous...........................Very fat.
Ø Large frame...........................Hugely fat.
Ø Wants soul mate.....................Stalker.

Going back to 2006 there is this gem, the Craig's List Salary Guide:

Less than $30,000 = Loser! Put down the videogames, take a shower, and move out of your mom's house.

$31,000 - $50,000 = Cool. You're alright with me man. I hear you.

$51,000 - $70,000 = You're suspect pal. You're on my list. What are you some kind of smart person who learned how to do computers or something? My girlfriend is way hotter than yours.

$71,000 - $90,000 = Must be nice to come from a rich family who paid for your eduction. Epp epp! Zip it. I don't want to hear about how clever you are. You're a xxxking tool. Fucking bitch is what you are. Goddamn daddy's girl who never had to work a friggin day in her life, I tell you what.

$91,000 - $100,000 = Hmmph. I guess you're ok. You're a special case. You must have something on the ball to make more than that fag rich kid, but still not make 6 figures.

$101,000 - $200,000 = Your soul crushing job makes you pathetic. You think that's a lot of money? This is Park Avenue cooch here baby. Haha!

$201,000 - $300,000 = xxcksucker. Yeah that's right, you. are. a. xxcksucker. Just because you're a lawyer doesn't mean you're $#!+ pal.

$301,000 - up = I call bullshit. If you made so much money you wouldn't be on Craiglist e-mailing with a loser like me.

Of course you could make easy money on Craig's List if you live in the right place at the right time, this woman was willing to pay over $800.00 for someone to go with her son to his prom.  Frankly, I have to say that is one loving mother.

I won't go into the whole story, but my son got dumped by the girl he was going to take to his prom. The prom is in a few weeks and I want him to have a date.

So here is the deal. Go with my son as his date. No expectations on his or my part other than going to the prom with him. He is tall, fairly good looking, but somewhat unexperienced with girls. He is not a geek as he played on 2 varsity high school sport teams for the past 3 years.

What's in it for you. $500 cash for your time and I will pick up the cost of your dress, hair styling, etc. up to another $300. You will be picked up in a limo.

Requirements are that you are cute and could pass for 17-19.

Thanks.
