Best of Craigslist. We couldn't make this sh*t up.

Craigslist is one of the internet’s most useful tools.  But have you ever checked out the “Best of Craigslist” section?  The place where the most crazy, hilarious, weird, sometimes gross and almost always totally inappropriate posts are compiled for anyone to read, all in one place?  

The good people who run this site have a disclaimer at the top of the section, just in case you thought you were checking out odd jobs in your area or something.  The disclaimer goes a little something like this: postings may be explicitly graphic and/or not at all funny.  Craigslist staff doesn’t necessarily chose what goes up in this section – viewers nominate posts.  And yes, someone actually posted this sh*t.

Some of my favorites (that are p.c. enough to post on this site – believe me, they get pretty graphic on Craigslist, so don’t say we didn’t warn you!) will be posted weekly.  This week’s article:

The Streaker Tripper:

I was streaking through the Diag Friday night at 2:15 am. Coming around the corner of State and Liberty, fast as a naked blur, I bumped into you and we both fell to the ground. I was a little upset with you at first, cuz I scratched my right butt cheek pretty bad, but I knew it was my fault. You said, “Nice New Balances,” And all I could say was, “Thanks,” with the adrenaline still rushing. In less awkward circumstances, I would have liked to talk to you. I had never run into a girl that fast or naked before… I didn’t know how to respond so I helped you up quickly and kept running. Since my friends paid me $100 for making it to Kerrytown with just my socks, shoes, and a big smile, I’d like to take you on a date. You looked pretty fit so maybe you’d like to go for a run sometime. Hit me up! Bye!

Bored or just need a little pick-me-up?  Go read a few Best-of-Craigslist entries.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!  Maybe a little grossed out though.  Or offended.  But then again, you might just stumble across the funniest thing you’ve ever read.  

So all in all, totally worth it.
