"hi, im looking into buying a sail boat in a few years but dont know much about them. do you know what the best size for a sail boat is if i were to sail to the philippines?"

Aren't the waters around Philippines some of the most pirate infested around? Great trip for a maiden voyage from Seattle for a junior sailor. Fortunately, we've seen there are plenty of pirate-friendly Seattle craigslisters, so this guy should be able to get plenty of sage advice.

My relentless travel schedule today takes me to Chicago, where I discover one of the appeals of not being a 20 years old and having a woman who takes a blurry self portrait with a scowl as a potential date. Maybe it is because it is almost Halloween? Next time, try the sexy nurse outfit instead.

Hot redhead buying cheap wine... - m4w

Thursday eve at 7-11 Lk City Way near 80th. I'm guessing you had a rough day as you were buying a bottle of red wine, had a big gulp cup to go, and were looking for a way to get it open. That or you are a raging alcoholic. I was going to tell you I had a wine opener at my place, but I don't think you were going to let that wine age a minute longer. You: beautiful long red hair, gorgeous blue eyes, and a skirt that I wanted to play around in for the night. I was wearing a black visor. Tell me what I bought. :) "

Hmm, I'm guessing after guzzling down a bottle of foul Yellow Tale in a Big Gulp cup she's not going to remember what anyone was wearing....generous of you to offer your wine opener services, though.

Sooo long ago. Do you remember necking in my pick-up truck? In the slight rain around the corner from the bar? Wish I'd fucked you there, that'd been hot! I fingered you out at Greenlake and you begged me to stop or you'd "squirt my pants!" We ate at Beth's cafe once.(YUM!) You cooked dinner for me (AWSOME) and I fingered out your asshole in front of your sink!!! Once I showed up and your kids were there. We listened to The White Stripes, fucked in your bedroom, you did get very wet/squirt, and I came very close to fisting your damp pussy, but could NOT get my thumb to slide inside. You're kind of a short stack and ..."

Um, does this one need any explanation why I chose it for "Least-of"?

Sadly, this all appears to have happened in my hood. I wonder how you could do all this with a person and not seem to recall their name. Oh yeah, Hemp fest.

I'm trying to catch a cheating husband so I can move on. If you're around and have nothing to do today, let's hang out and spy on him. I'll pay for gas and lunch. You drive. Be good at following without being noticed. It's 8:45 am, can you be ready at 9:30 or 10:00 today?"

I'm thinking the odds of this woman finding a suitable willing participant to be along the lines of Joe inheritance guy and the old guy who wanted to wash your car nude someplace private. This should be in the strictly sketch category instead of strictly platonic. Free lunch though. I am getting a bit hungry...

Yes, I drink. And, yes, I drank several more shots than I needed to on Saturday. But, you were NOT as inebriated as me. A decent boyfriend would have been taking care of me - NOT verbally assaulting me in front of a karaoke audience. You NEVER should have sung, "You're So Vain" to me. You know that hurt me so deeply. But....I never should have thrown a drink at you when you were on the stage. SugarBear...Saturday night was toxic, but our love is intoxicating. I miss you...you won't email me...you won't call me. I know you like to read these. Maybe, you'll talk to me in this forum. -Renee"

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mis/443713225.html

Is it a bad sign that my wife regularly sings "You're So Vain" around the house? I thought it was a compliment to be compared to Warren Beatty. And who wouldn't want to walk into a party like they were walking onto a yacht? I love yachts. And I do sing a mean karaoke, although I prefer George Michael songs, personally. Just for the record Renee, if some crazy drunk girlfriend of mine threw a drink at me while I was on stage b/c she couldn't take a joke, I wouldn't call her back either.

Please don't creep me out... - 32

I'm very hesitant to post this as I easily creep out. Oh, I can watch the movie "300" and not even flinch, but when Jack Nicholson took his shirt off in "Something’s Got to Give" I literally pushed myself over backwards in a recliner to hide. I'm not looking for a perfect 10 either, but there is tons of room in-between the two extremes. I'm definitely not perfect. In fact I'm a split personality. When people first meet me I come off as very polite and professional. That's a cover for my initial introvertness. I'm actually very sarcastic and immature. The only perfect word to describe me is eclectic or maybe the word is eccentric. I can fit into any crowd, but would much rather be out in the woods. I have a Bachelor's degree, but work manual labor. I can't afford to buy a home, but I have a $20,000 horse. I haven't been to the Redwood National Forest which has been on my must see list forever, but plan on visiting Scotland for the second time next year. And, after not being able to advance my career I dyed my hair green. So, if I haven't creeped you out by now perhaps there's a chance for a connection.

P.S. Get over the picture! I'm a girl, I like to dress up. You should see me in my dominatrix outfit.

P.P.S. I'm 5'11" barefoot, so it'd be nice if you were not shorter than that.

P.P.P.S. I wear glasses too! Black nerdy ones! Ha! Ha!"

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/w4m/443015304.html

I hope there is a fall renaissance fair season that this woman can hit the circuit on, she's definitely some sort of catch for a tall knight out there with a thing for horses, green hair, dominatrix outfits and glasses. Yee-haw!
P.S. Hopefully my writing about her post doesn't creep her out.

How people find this site

Ok, I've been traveling way too much and my post frequency is way down since I can't ready CL from airplanes. But I checked today to see some of the sources of how people stumble upon this site, and I thought I'd list out some of my favorite search engine searches that have led people here for your enjoyment:
- large photo of motley crue
- minneapolis airport bathroom
- unbelievably huge breasts
- boner man
- little sexy bitch
- find bunions attractive
- circle jerk sauna
- powder blue jacket
- pictures of muggle clothes

Chances are, if the woman you're proposing to (via text, perhaps) doesn't know your name, you may not be getting married anytime soon.
Bizarre one, that's for sure.

free queen sized box spring waiting for a happy home. it is on the east side of hwy 99 under the pedestrian bridge. it's in great shape and will go fast, so hurry."
Special thanks to an early reader, I believe his handle is "Pleasure" who sent me his own post.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/fur/431255966.html
Fitting that he dropped his box spring basically right across the street from Blue Video, a prime porn video store on 99. I'm guessing it might get some use from folks that find the sauna at their local gym too far a trip.
Or perhaps someone from the infamous "nudie roomie" house which is located within view of their bedroom window (yes, complete with sexually friendly skinny-dipping) will claim it.
I don't know, do they really need box springs for their bunk beds?

I do feel like a teenage snickering like Beavis at a headline like this. Find it fitting since I'm headed tomorrow to Chicago, the city that is the setting of Stuart Dybek's short story "We Didn't," which is my all time favorite blue balls short story.
Thanks again to Merbs' roommate Dan who is apparently spending more time than me on CL.

Customized HUGE Pirates Wall Hanging - $50

This is great for your little pirate. I can paint whatever you want, "Pirate Pete", "Captain Jack" or any nickname you want. Great gift for your kids or their friends.
It is 36" x 24" and can be done in a week or less.
Open to all ideas! Thanks

http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/bab/420160952.html "

Just in case you were looking for a special way to celebrate this wonderful day (as detailed in the post below). I bet there may have been some extra demand and hitting that deadline of getting it done in a week must have been tough.
Particularly nice the combination of royalty & pirates & zombies together. What a potent combination, Elizabeth.

Ok, not from CL

Once in a while I stray from my mission, this one seems sadly relevant given the apparent pirate plague in Seattle.

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

I do like that it is "International" talk like a pirate day, none of this U.S. only crap when you roam the high seas. Sort of like IHOP.

Sweet Jesus, please no one sign me up for "The Poopdeck" email newsletter as revenge against my pejorative pirate commentary.

i was being emotional, which is typical of me when it comes to you. i do think my emotional response was justified in this case. anyway, i'm glad you called me the other day. i know i could have emailed this to you directly but i thought it would be more fun to put it here - and you and i need to work on bringing the fun back. right?

Let me go out on a limb here and say that if you're dating someone that is enough of a loose cannon that she gives away your b-day gifts and then she half apologizes over missed connections on CL, this relationship isn't so likely to work out.

We bought at IKEA a few years ago but its hardly used being part of the Living room. The original color is Red and then we bought the expensive corduroy fitted slip cover which is white. You get both at this price. The sofa fold into three position, straight back, reclined back and full flat which makes quite a comfortable queen size bed."

Yes, loyal readers. I've been neglecting you due to travel and visiting family members. Fortunately Merbs sent me this link which just can not be ignored. I think she is in the market for a couch. This one looks particularly appealing under a blacklight...
