You Suck at Craigslist

looking for this

let me know

Heather sends this in, saying, “Aaaaaand… That’s all. No pictures. No description. And why is it in the “free” section? Is the title meant to have a question mark at the end? Because I was looking for a mysterious, description-less Craig’s List posting for free! (I usually have to pay for those– but not today!)”

Ah, the zen of Craigslist. Weren’t we all really looking for “this”, today? I know I was.

Maybe we should get this poster in touch with this guy. It sounds like they might be able to work something out.

      Also, Dunkin’ Donuts may close at midnight in Ish*, but the Temple Beth Ish stays open all night long.

      And has donuts.

    Maybe it’s meta. They were looking for a craigslist post. In which case, they found it. Yay, a happy ending!

      Causes laughter at this.

      Vünderbäton = “feunhtr BAYT un”

      ünd = “EUEW ndht”

      Zymphony; Sinfonie im Deutsch is “Zym FAWN ee”

      orchesträl = “oar Kest RAil”

      Gläss = “GLAYCE”

      opüs = “eh PUCE”

      “Red Table for Sale” — Rote Tabelle für zu verkaufende, der freie Preis sein.

    Well, I spent a lifetime lookin’ for you
    Single nouns and good time verbs were never true
    Playin’ a fools game, hopin’ to win
    Usin’ those sweet conjunctions and losin’ again

    I was lookin’ for this in all the wrong phrases
    Lookin’ for this in too many places
    Searchin’ Craigslist, lookin’ for traces
    Of the pronoun I’m dreamin’ of
    Hopin’ to find this in an ad
    I’ll bless this day I discover

    Ok, off-topic but wanting needs noting.
    Site has been nice and stable on FF all week (yay), and not the case on IE at all (yawn).

    But, Adores seem to have some sort of “switch” on them, and when it’s in the “off’ mode, the browser used does not seem to matter. They only stay “selected” within a given session. As soon as the page is refreshed, none show to be set, and they are not incrementing, either (or, at least, not from my selecting them).

    I’ve checked for cookie permissions and approved access on five different machines on four different networks. It’s quite peculiar.

    Ok, it remains better than random 400 or 500 page errors; just odd.

    ok, [ot rambling] complete;
