So it’s a public holiday in here in England, a time when traditionally everyone goes out and gets pissed up just cause they have an extra day off this weekend. The majority of the population are either out in the pub all day or are busy recovering from the excesses of last night. The rest are probably engrossed in some form of DIY. Personally I’m bored out of my tiny mind to be quite frank and as I don’t feel like working on hacking a theme to make my blog match the rest of my site (any willing volunteers apply in the comments, I offer excellent payment term, i.e. I don’t pay you a bean but you do get your name displayed on my site with links to your own site for as long as I use the theme).
In an attempt to entertain myself I move to that most trusted of time wasting applications, Stumble Upon. I can spend hours quite happily surfing random sites, and like most Stumblers I quite often only view one page on a given site before moving on, much like most of you will do here no doubt. But today I seem to have found something a little special, to me at least anyway. Anyone reading this in the US will be quite familar with Craig’s List I’m sure, as a quick explaination for anyone in the UK think of it as like the classified section of your local paper only online. You can advertise things for sale, put up a personal ad, advertise jobs, etc. It’s also used by a lot of people to vent and rant about various things (much like the letters section of a local paper).
Some of the best posting on Craig’s List have now been put together in a section called The Best of Craig’s List. This list gets update regularly from suggested posts by the various people who browse the various lists. It’s a good source of humour on a slow day. Some of the best posts are from people who want to vent their spleen about something/someone, some of them take it too seriously and make a fool of themselves while others just show some good observational humour. Here are some of my favourites:
Breakup Lesson # 1 – Don’t fuck with someone who has naked pics of you – Even more cruel than breaking up by text message, but you have to give him points for style. my favourite part -
I’ve been hearing for 5 years how I need to leave you. In fact, we’re having a party tomorrow and I fully plan on getting laid.
Unemployed Broke Girl Seeks Same for Friendship Maybe More – She may be broken and jobless but she could make a reasonable living as a comic writer.
About two weeks before the end of every month I will expect you to sit on street corners with me as I pathetically attempt to make up rent money buy “playing” the guitar. (If you actually know how to play the guitar, I’ll definitely write you back!)
Mom, I know you’re there. - Poor guy looking for a little action gets his mother instead.
The second point I’d like to raise is that you owe it to whoever you’re trying to hook up with to be honest. I mean, I lived with you and Dad for 18 years. You’re not that fun.
to the guy doing my wife – Another guy who deserves plaudits for his cool respond to a partners cheating ways
2.You may be giving me a chance to go fishing more often but please stop drinking all my beer. It is fine if you have a couple while you visit(god knows
I drink plenty before I find her attractive), but please leave me a few as I have to be there longer than you.
