Today on craigslist: the weirdest mixer ever

How dumb. Lonely do-gooders sign up to do volunteer work and to try get some from the other volunteers. I guess. I don't really know what else to say.

From craigslist New York:

Help Someone, Meet Someone: We help good people meet good people while doing good things

At Singles for Service we believe that to build a successful relationship with someone you need to get to know the real them, and they need to get to know the real you. There is no better way to do that then by working with someone side by side to help the community. You don’t have to worry about what you’re going to wear, where you’re going to go, or who is going to pay. You can just be yourself. Our events create a positive atmosphere that brings out the best in people and helps to break the ice.

Today on craigslist: Got any old porn?

Craiglist is so vast it's hard to know where to begin, so I'm just picking cities I associate with my favorite twitter follows. Today we go international to @RightGirl's (freelance writer Wendy Sullivan) hometown of Toronto. That's in Canada.

Run out of gold? This guy'll give you cash for old porn. Apparently, you can bring them into this fine retail establishment to exchange for boring old cash OR new used porn which you can enjoy in their private viewing rooms! I don't see why you'd really ever have to leave this place.

Well, at least until the cholera takes hold.

Today on craigslist: Hey there stranger, let’s go camping

This could be you Jerry Wilson!

A mature, hetero man from the San Francisco Bay area is looking for 3 complete strangers with $300 a piece to go freaking Yosemite National Park with him. He's not just taking first come first serve. He's briefly meeting all the applicants and will pick the three that are the "best fit" (for his steamer trunk).

UPDATE by Dan: With no connection, expressed or implied, to Jerry Wilson:

Further, Li knew or ought to have known that "parading around with the decapitated head and showing off the decapitated head, the cutting off of Tim McLean's nose, ears, tongue, the cannibalizing of Tim McLean's eyes and heart in plain view of the plaintiff would cause nervous shock and post-traumatic stress disorder," the documents says.

That's, like, metacrazy.

Cruising craigslist with KillTruck

When I'm not mocking politics and/or pop culture I'm watching true crime shows. When I'm not watching true crime shows I'm watching the Lifetime Movie Network (aka proof Jesus loves me). When I'm not doing any of that stuff I'm working on un-HGTVing my mid-century modern house, which leads to cruising craigslist daily. I've been tweeting my most bizarre finds, and Dan suggested doing a "best of craigslist" series for POWIP. He's the boss. I think it's only fitting, and American, to start our voyage where the free market goes to die, Washington DC.

(We know this one involves Jim Treacher. The only question is whether he's the poster or the replier.)Missed connections - Wow!!! I mean wow! I don't think I've seen anyone as gorgeous as you ever. You got on at Chinatown and got off at union station this morning around 8:40. I wanted to say something to you but I looked like a bum this morning in my t-shirt. Hopefully I'll see you tonight or hear from you on here, I'd love to get a drink or something.

Beware of Skank Agents

A POWIP PSA:

DECEMBER 1--A Wisconsin teenager who described herself as a "skank agent" is facing felony charges for allegedly using Craigslist to rob prospective johns looking for sex. According to a Circuit Court complaint filed yesterday, Samantha Stubbe, 17, last month placed an ad in the online classified site's "Adult Gigs" section offering sexual favors in return for an apartment. After men were lured to a Fond du Lac motel for a purported liaison, Stubbe's male friends attacked them and stole their money. Stubbe, pictured below in the mug shot at right, was aided in the scheme by Stevi Smet, 18, who served as the female decoy outside the motel. Smet is pictured below at left. When questioned by police, Stubbe admitted orchestrating the strong-arm robbery scheme, but told Detective Steve Kaufman that "she would not consider herself a pimp but a 'skank agent,' meaning that she was an agent with skanky friends." Since state criminal codes do not address skank agentry, Stubbe was charged with soliciting prostitution and armed robbery. Smet, also charged with armed robbery, is facing a prostitution rap for allegedly having sex with a man who answered the Craigslist ad. The man, 19, told cops that he paid for Smet's services with a $175 check.
