Do You Party?

From my Sunday night craigslist searching comes this ad for some brave soul.
Me and my boyfriend have been up all night drinking and smoking crack. We are looking for another woman to come over and continue on with us. He has had a cockring on all night so he'll be hard for hours. He wants to watch me eat another woman while he is fucking me and vice versa. Everything we can do in a 3way. We can host right off of Caton Ave. Email us back and we can give you the address. Please send a pic and be serious
You can check out the pics at the original link.
God bless the internet.

Hazzah! The Election is Over!

Now back to 24/7 unadulterated prostitution posting -- Craigslist to begin requiring credit card information for erotic services ads. Gawker:
It's becoming a real hassle to offer sex for money on Craigslist, apparently. At first sex workers just had to think up a euphemism for prostitution, like "FULL EROTIC EXAMINATION" or "naughty sweet treat" or the cryptic "GFE" or the almost sweet "delightful relaxing time." Then, earlier this year, they had to have a working phone number, and listings dropped 80 percent. Now, under pressure from attorneys general in 40 states, Craigslist is going to require "erotic services" providers to pony up $10 for each listing, and pay with a credit card, which the police will be able to subpoena.
I could go off on how bad this is for the women who will now have to find a much more dangerous marketplace to sell their services; but everyone reading this here all ready knows this. I could go on about how I accidentally clicked through a couple of the craigslist ads in the Gawker post and that I might need to find a new job soon -- but at this point you're probably wondering how I manage to keep a job for more than 6 months, no matter my recent craigslist clicks with my everyday browsing/drinking habits.

What I really wanted to point out however, is that one of my roommates recently bought a pair of skis off of craigslist and my first reaction was "where do you find skis on craigslist?"

What A Fetish

I was all pumped up about responding to this Craigslist add, until I got to the part that said I could not masturbate behind the black curtain with the eyeholes cut out. That's where I draw the line.

If I was to post such an add, however, I don't think I would have been so specific about the items I "borrowed" from the art museum to carry out my fantasy. But to each their own.

Mean People Say Mean Things On the Internet

Brilliant idea for a newspaper column! I mean who knew about this?
Ahh, Craigslist, that happy little website of frugal friends buying, selling or trading worn-out cars and cozy apartment furniture.

Plus, there are all those hilarious jokes about blacks, gays, Hispanics, women and Jews.

The dirty little secret about the wildly popular Craigslist is that one click away from its home page are some raunchy and often deeply offensive forums inviting blatant racism, rants and sexual kinks.
This is what offends the guy on Craigslist? The forums? Clearly he's never clicked on the women seeking women personals. Yikes. Nothing but black, BBW lesbians lounging around in sexy/disturbing/hideous (take your pick) nude poses. Words are words. But a clit the size of refrigerator, is a clit the size of a refrigerator. And that sir, is offensive. Or hot. Personally I think it's hot. But I'm a mess. So whatever.

If You Want a 4 Day Work Week, Become a Nurse

I'm sympathetic to working less. I try to do that everyday. Wasting time online reading newspapers, visiting various political blogs, and trolling craigslist for anonymous sex. Everyone does it. But at least we pretend to work for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Don't fuck around with my system of coping with mundane office life by advocating switching to a 4 day work week.

And I love this anti-consumerist nut job who wrote the piece:
Reason #15 The 4 Day Work Week would provide time for a transition into the informal economy

There are a lot of reasons why consumer culture is bad for us. It focuses not on people and their relationships to one another but instead on things, on stuff, on cheap plastic crap from Mal-Wart. It’s worth pointing out that not only is our habit of consuming mass quantities of junk toxifying our lives and our environment with all sorts of chemicals and pollution, it’s also using up a number of nonrenewable resources at an alarming rate. It seems reasonable to assume that we can’t continue on this ride of infinite growth for a whole lot longer...
No, actually we can continue this infinate growth for a whole lot longer.

The Suspension of Belief

Idaho Senator Larry Craig's wife might be the only person on the planet who believes that the Senator pleaded guilty by mistake. From the NY Times,
Mr. Craig, the Idaho Republican, was joined by his wife Suzanne as he spoke in Boise. He asserted that he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct...“in hopes of making it go away.” At various times, he called the plea — officially completed Aug. 8 and brought to light by Roll Call yesterday — “a misjudgment,” “an overreaction” and a “lapse in judgment.”
I find it hard to believe that Craig did not spend the three weeks between his arrest and plea thinking very hard about what he should do and somehow accidentally pleaded guilty.

Were Craig not a social conservative who made restricting the legal rights of homosexuals a key part of his platform, then I would not care about his private behavior. Hey, as I stroll into middle-age it is encouraging that a guy that old is still so horny that he can't control himself at a public toilet. But the hypocrisy makes Craig and his ilk need to be shot down. This country cannot have our private and sexual lives controlled by people who want to make illegal what they do in bathrooms because they are ashamed of it.

Mrs. Craig could start a tea party group of wives whose socially conservative Congressional husbands enjoy socializing in men's rooms. Mrs. Craig, meet Mrs. Allen. Perhaps they could take tap dancing lessons to learn that mysterious "tapping" that Rob cites in his post below.
