I’ve gotten bored and clicked through tons of crazy stuff on craigslist before. But I don’t think I’ve been as amused as tonight when I clicked into the “adult gigs” section. I knew it existed and I’ve clicked in it before but it never held my attention. Maybe it’s always this hilarious. Maybe I got lucky. Maybe I’m just in the right mood to find “Car Date Facesitter” hilarious:

Looking for open minded female who enjoys getting off on a guys face…must be willing to make out..150 for 45 minutes….must be open to a mutual happy ending

Although I must say, the poster doesn’t sell himself quite as enthusiastically as this guy:

I EAT PUSSY LIKE A BANDIT/BREATHE THRU MY EARS (sfv)

WM teddy bear in sfv WILL take you exactly where u wanna be. believe it. I WILL get you off. Obsessed/dedicated. no, I don’t want your pic. My talk is also effective at speaking….val & vic friendly going down………..

I don’t actually know what he’s talking about at the end there. But I laughed out loud when I found “shave me“:

I would like an attractive woman to shave my balls in the nude. Please send photo and requirements. 15-20 minutes tops.

Succinct, no? Best part maybe?

Location: your place.

They just get weirder from there. For example “swallow“:

in need of hot girl that can swallow no oral neeeded just has to be able to swallow email if interested with pic donatio will be made for time

Uh.

Anyway… Mostly the “gigs” seem to be dudes posing as photographers just hoping to get chicks naked and you know doing stuff. It was an entertaining ten minutes.

What?

Then there’s this, a version of the classic video game Asteroids featuring David Lee Roth and his legendary sound effects:

Genius.

Wreckreation Nation is doing some catfish grabblin’. Which is weird enough. Then there’s this.

I’m watching MonsterQuest on the History Channel right now. They’re discussing “rods.” I’d never heard of them til tonight but naturally, I’m fascinated.

Unfortunately, they’re kinda busting them. Jerks.

While I’m linking ALA, I also enjoyed this recent article, The Discipline of Content Strategy.

Here’s a great article on information architecture from A List Apart. I’d like to comment more on it but I’ve waited almost two months to post it. So I’ll just let it speak for itself.

I like to think I’ve always had a healthy opposition to bullshit. But certain events in my life that climaxed last week caused me to consider it my calling, my mission perhaps, to oppose bullshit. I still haven’t figured out how best to do this, but I believe writing here will play a significant role.

After another day of shoveling through the stuff, I went out and bought Harry Frankfurt’s slim volume, On Bullshit. I love the opening sentence: “One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit.”

Amen, brother.

Last week, a rumour of Katy Perry’s alleged vow of celibacy made the internet gossip rounds:

“I’ve actually taken a vow of celibacy this year,” she tells the new issue of TV Guide. “No kissing anyone. Just my cat, Kitty Purry.”

Very quickly the rumor was quashed by Perry who said the quote was a joke (I never learned whether she actually said it).

I don’t know what anyone else thought of this but I’m still laughing that Katy Perry has a cat named Kitty Purry.

That chick is rad.
