Dear Craig,
I, like so many others on your List, have an incredibly boring job. And you so kindly help me make it through these hours I will never get back with hilarious or sexy photos, outrageous stories, inane anonymous arguments and the like. You've even helped me to find a car that wasn't what it promised to be, an apartment that wasn't what it promised to be, and this ludicrous job, that wasn't what it promised to be. It is because of you, Craig, that I spout ridiculous internet rumors daily to my friends and swear up and down that they are true (because they were on the internet), and then I look like an ass when they are proven false. (See the supposed death by tsunami of Fitness Celebrity John Basedow.) I wouldn't trade any of this for the world, Craig! Even when I complain that you have stolen my life, and I can't go out anymore without checking to see if someone has missed connecting with me, I still wouldn't give you up! But if I may be so bold, I'd like to make a suggestion.
Most of the material on this site is absolutely unreadable. For a multitude of reasons. But we wade through the chaff, Craig, you knew that we would. We muck on, because we eventually come across these superb little nuggets that are just the best! And to show our appreciation, we click up in the corner, on a little button that reads "Best Of." Why? Because by doing so, it gives us hope that at some point, we can go to "Best Of Craig's List" and re-read these great posts, and the posts from other cities. This not only saves us our hours of chaff-wading, but it promotes brothership in this divided nation. Chicago next to San Diego next to Seattle next to New York. It's a beautiful thing, Craig. So allow me to suggest that you update this list a little more often. It helps us out. We are lonely internet creatures, and it's hard to go so long without a new batch of witty ads to dispose of old couches, or anecdotal tales of anal sex. Throw me a bone here, Craig. And the rest of San Francisco, and New York, and Philadelphia, and Boston, and San Antonio...
Yours Always.
