So this is a fake craigslist ad, but i have to give (props) is there a better word for props, that isn't as pretentious as cudos... adulation?  whatever, the author pegs the post-college alcoholic new yorker female.

"Hey, I've got an idea, let's go to a bar and have an after dinner
drink! It'll be great, it will be just like how we're drinking here,
only it will be louder and we'll have to stand up."

Another example of how craigslist postings are better than most TV shows.  My question is, why should she be careful with the Qing dynasty teapot if she is shitting in it?

Editor's Note: An observant reader pointed out that the poster spelled "deficate" (sic) incorrectly. How embarrassing! You put all that time into your post with exquisite detail describing how your artist will pluck all her eyebrows and get to the big payoff of how she will "deficate" into a Qing Dynasty teapot, then you blow it with some bad spelling. Who knows how many willing participants our intrepid Craigslister scared away with that one misplaced letter?

I think the argument of accidentally making out with a guy doesn't work as much as it should these days.  In the 80's men could easily get away with "I was on a lunch break, slipped on a peanut and accidentally found myself knee deep in man ass," and get away with it.  

I'm sorry. You were taking so long in the bathroom and this guy was looking at me. Next thing I knew we were making out and you came back and stormed out of the bar. I just want you to know that I really liked you and I'm not gay, I just have gay experiences sometimes. You are a beautiful girl and I'm glad that you came on date with me. I would like very much to try again. This time I will give all my love to you.

Those crazy liberals are at it again.  I'm sure some of the postings were in violation of fair housing, but this mostly seems like a stretch, and a ridiculous one at that.  A group of Chicago lawyers must know that publishers are hardly liable for the ad content in their publications.  More specifically, internet sites are not liable for user posted content.  That said, what type of bigot would post for "one nice quiet person?"  That crosses the line.  We all know what "nice quite person" is code for: some nice quiet old lady...like, maybe, Rosa Parks.

craigslist Disputes "Fair" Housing Lawsuit

The Chicago Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is suing craigslist for 100 allegedly discriminatory ads posted by our Chicago users in a 6 month period, out of 200,000 housing ads submitted to chicago.craigslist.org in that timeframe. While craigslist takes fair housing issues very seriously, and it's extremely important that we do everything we can to assist our users in promoting fair housing for everyone, the 100 ads cited were a little surprising. Some were roommate ads involving constitutionally protected speech and the right to free association, such as "prefer christian roommate", or were ads containing incidental and harmless remarks such as "near St Gertrude's church," and "Buddhist temple nearby." Others simply celebrated the diversity and tolerance of the local community ("vibrant southwest Hispanic neighborhood offering great classical Mexican culture, restaurants, and businesses"), or sought to appeal to some groups without excluding anyone ("Great apartment for graduate students, married couple, or small family"). And for a few it is difficult to determine what protected classification is at issue ("wants one nice quiet person").

The great thing about a snow day in New York? No, not the sledding. It's the return of innocence as for one day only the word, "snow":http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/cas/133446837.html on "Craigslist":http://newyork.craigslist.org, actually means a powder that falls from the sky instead of the kind that goes up your nose at the Champagne Room with "Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss":http://www.thesuperficial.com/archives/2006/01/12/kate_moss_and_lindsay_lohan_ho_1.html.

Unfortunately, the same is not true for "ski":http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/cas/133445221.html, which always refers to nose candy and the hope (as Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers would say) that you, "Get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions." I learned this the hard way when I invited two blonde 19 year olds to my place for a ski party. "My Craigslist ad":http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/cas/133468337.html indicated that I had all the equipment and plenty of snow (frickin 27 inches of it), but they were not amused when I started pulling my pair of stolen rentals out from under my bed. Of course, these two girls WERE NOT blonde, and only one of them was 19. Kate Moss was still hot, but there was no need for her to lie so blatantly about her age!
