Best of Craigslist

'Bacon Bikini,' Free Kia (Manual) Among Local Craigslist Gems

Our Best of Craigslist column highlights ads from the region that you may find entertaining.

Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. You know that friend you have who likes bacon a little too much? Yeah, this could be him. This poster from Central Mass wants to know what you think about on a warm summer day. Innocent enough, right? We should note, however, that his ad, posted in the "platonic," section of Craigslist, started off with the anecdote about how he had a fantasy while outside on his lunch break about a woman who was wearing a bikini made of bacon. Now that he's spilled, it's your turn! (Actually, don't tell us. It could be a violation of our commenting terms.) He probably stopped searching for your "missed connections" Craigslist posting in …

Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available.

Grafton Toaster Oven Suffers Heartbreak; Reward for a Rug

And can you possibly help move 'ferniture?'

Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available.   What becomes of the brokenhearted...toasters ... This oven in Grafton has plenty of good toasts left in him. In honor of Earth Day, this family really dreads tossing this perfectly healthy toaster in the trash. While he may not be as handsome as the models you see in the magazines, he's a rugged, hardy worker who has kept himself clean and still has all his knobs. Please be serious if you call about this toaster oven. He's waited at the door a number of times only to be stood up. Did you come across a rug on the highway? Give it up. That rug's not yours, and there is someone who has been desperately seeking it since …

Angry Man Dumps Coffee on Woman's Car, Apologizes (Kind Of)

Man says sorry for scaring a woman in the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, and more.

medfield Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. What we learned this week: there are a few guys out there looking for pot smoking "buddies" to hang out with, people still don't know the difference between "you're" and "your," and there are lots of curb alerts. A Dunkin Debaucle (we didn't say drunken, we said Dunkin) A man issued a heartfelt apology on Craigslist, saying he is sorry he perhaps made a woman pee her pants in the Dunkin Donuts Drive-Thru in Marlborough recently. Apparently, the man was enraged when he saw the woman chuck an old iced coffee cup out the window. In anger, he picked up the cup, knocked on the window, asked if she had dropped something, …

'Super Sweet' Bear Clown Figurines, Mattress, Yogurt Containers ... Yours for Free

Here is the latest and greatest we found on Craigslist this week.

Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Highway connection It seems lots of drivers on the Mass Pike get shot with Cupid's arrow. Another man now looks for a "gorgeous" woman who was driving on March 13 around 6:30 p.m. on the Pike, getting onto the Exit 13 exit near the Natick Mall. "So like everyone else I can't believe I am posting here, but I really have no idea how else I could find out who this girl was. You were driving a Honda CRV (I think), you had dark hair, and you were absolutely gorgeous. So I had to find out if you were single, and what your deal is. I hope this works!" Let us know at Patch if it does work. Well, the car started yesterday Today, the …

You Loved His Hat; He Wants You to Call Him

Of love, sales, jobs and opinions—it's the best of Craigslist.

Can you crack a board with your head? A reality show about martial arts is being filmed in MetroWest. Some 30 actors are needed to participate in a 30-week filming of a reality show that focuses on martial arts. No experience is necessary, but "the ambition to study and learn this ancient practice is required." Compensation is profit-based and filming begins on Feb. 17. You said you liked his hat, but what was he driving? At the Sunoco on Route 85 in Milford recently, a pleasant exchange was made. For you, it may have been nothing. For him, it might be a date. You made a nice comment about his hat, and he thanked you. Sound familiar? There's more. He loved the jeans you were wearing, but not sure if he told you that. Tell him what you were…
