And the winner is......your choice!!!

Greetigs - Beth here!! We've gotten all sorts of creative responses to the disaster relief ad. Meg gave you a brief preview with the note from the married nurse...and her brilliant response. Seriously buddy, get a life. Although as you see, many of the fellas that responded need help, in terms of therapy and getting a life. We had a few generic responses i.e.: Hi I'm Chuck, liked you ad, here's my pict! - Fuck you Chuck. You email everyone on cragistlist. Move on. Then you get the pervs. Then you get the funny pervs. Then you get the ones that are down on their luck but are still on craigslist looking for a lay. On the other hand, others included on this list got the joke and praised the authors. I included these just to make us look better than we already do.

Enjoy! (and lets discuss later!)


”quite possible the funniest post ive read on craigs list. if your serious or not i have no idea, but please keep up the great work.”


“what about pending disasters? i'm getting ready to hunker down for the bird flu pandemic. maybe if we like the same canned foods, bottled water and board games we can share a bunker. ;-)”

“I assure u I will cherish the box”

“Wow!If there were a contest for the most creative post on CL .. this one surely takes the cake.I'm all yours to help. .”

“hmmmm.....i'm a disaster...lol terry”

“After reading your ad I have been demolishing my house with a sledge hammer so I can get some of your FEMA assistance. I'm 41, 6'6", 215. Get out the red cross doughnuts baby. – Tom”

“How about helping a man with Erectile dysfunction?”

“Nice post! I'm Robert. I am smiling from ear to ear. I could use a good friend. I have had a really tough time over the last 18 months. I lost my dad to cancer, which tore our family apart. I lost my job at the same time from taking care of dad and missing toomuch work. I have only been able to find p/t work since then. Now, my mom is going to die from cancer. All of my friends were all co workers, have their own lives, live in the burbs and really just stay in their own worlds. There's so much more. I still smile though. I still keep trying to move forward. I have been staying on a friends couch for 4 months now and it's getting old. ANd I think she's getting tired of it as well. I could use a break and a change. I'm hoping that a job lead will fall through. I really miss working f/t. I'm a designer of kitchens and bathrooms. I love it. I miss it. I want to create again. Heck, I just want a really good friend to talk to and feed off of each other. MOtivate, inspire, etc,. I have tons of interests. I have a great dog. I have great potential. Hell, I just want someone special to rock me like a hurricane! IN return? You'll see..I have a heart of gold, true class, and think that despite all the turmoil, I'm still one of the best guys around. This is me minus the goatee. I'm home and will be online a little. On and off. Let me know if you want to talk. Maybe we can meet up later tonight? I hope you have a great day!”

“Hey there,Funny post, can you help me store some things if I wasn't in a natural disaster, but rather a meltdown of other sorts? I own a sales co. that sells to the auto industry which is in the toilet right now. I had to let my employees go yesterday. I will take them back under contract employment as I need them and have taken great care of them while they worked for me. They were very loyal and I was very rewarding, it was a great relationship that I hope to be able to recover.In the meantime, I came across your ad and thought it might just be some good medicine to find someone fun right now, no hand-outs, I'm not desperate, but sure would be nice to get my mind out of here for a while. Any interest? Steve”

“I do need relief and a box to put my thing into, but it has nothing to do with a disaster. Lets meet for a drink and start to help each other.”

“Just curious, dear, what about those who have self inflicted injuries, andwho will repeat the process again and again, do you help those people?Also, have you ever heard of a neighborhood that did not go down hill whenblacks start moving in? If so where is that neighborhood at?Sincerely, Charles”


All around brilliant, I think. We might post the results back on craigstlist and see what happens. I love the internet.

This is a test post...yes lame. But we're new to this. And our blog shouldn't look like a disaster, just describe our dating lives. Which happen to be disasterous. Enjoy!
