hey spencer.. if you’re reading this… just wanted to say hello… and stuff and yeah we moved to santa clara from san jose.. everythings cool here…finish your studies and get the fuck back into the states. cuz i miss jerking you off in the woods..or at crazy places… hope you read this…write back..
lots of love…

302

It’s just a typical love letter, right? You know, the usual — hello, stuff, we moved, I miss jerking you off, write back, love … and then you get to the signature.

Now, as Charlene points out, it’s probably a nickname for his girlfriend and their pet, “Buddy”, but STILL. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if a letter contains the phrase “jerking you off in the woods,” I personally wouldn’t want the word “Mom” being used anywhere near that.

    Is this really the best, most efficient form of contact while one is overseas?

    When I see ads like this I can’t help but wonder if it’s some sort of thinly veiled communication from the KGB. Code words and pictures of dogs and the like… We’re probably making fun of assassination instructions right now.

      That’s awesome. I never even thought of that, but it seems so clear now 🙂

      Yeah, now that I think about it, it kind of reminds me of the coded missing pet pictures that the men in yellow trench coats used to communicate with each other in the first part of Stephen King’s “Hearts in Atlantis”. Funny at first, now potentially terrifying…

    hey spencer … if you’re reading this … why the fuck don’t we use E-MAIL? Or, dear god, anything other than effing CRAIGSLIST so we don’t have to put our creepiness out on Front Street.

        I always wonder this when I see personal letters being posted on CL. “Restraining order” is the only explanation I can think of.

    Now I’ll be worrying about Buddy’s welfare forever.

      Yes! I think Buddy is the saddest figure in this scenario.

    You know, pit bull advocates try so hard to change the stigma around the breed, like the belief that only low class slime own them, but then cretins like this come along on CL and undo all their hard work. Those jerk offs should get off CL and go feed their damn dog, look how skinny that thing is!

      SERIOUSLY. His head looks all huge, like a supermodel or something. Poor thing.

    Maybe it’s a slang term, like how “screwing around” can mean doing something of little or no importance.

    Maybe “jerking you off” means to joke around or laugh.
    For example every morning this site makes me want to jerk you all off

      “One of the best things about YSaC commenters is the way they jerk me off every day at lunch time.”

      Yeah… I think that’s the way people use that idiom. Or at least that’s how I’m going to use it from now on.

    How is it that someone understands how to get on the internet, and even (arguably) how to use Craigslist… but can’t figure out how to set up a couple of Yahoo or GMail accounts?

    Seriously, WTF?

    The fact that the person who posted this listing used CL makes me think that Spencer doesn’t want this person contacting them. Like, he didn’t like her enough to even give her his email.

    …creepy.

      Or maybe they just want to see if they can get on YSaC and gross everyone out.
      Still. WTF.
      *ponders briefly*
      Nope, I’m going with the restraining order.
