If you're a fun girl of drinking age who lives in the D.C. area, why not go to a stranger's wedding with a guy off Craigslist? He seems "all right," what with his picture of him riding a lion that is riding a horse, and his degree and good career. He actually kind of sounds like a "catch," plus this wedding is Open Bar.

What can't you find on Craigslist: A guitar player to jam with; an affordable apartment in New York City; a free miniature horse.

Do you want to make $600 cash by Tuesday? Then get to work on this rich guy's "Masters Level History" papers. We are not talking about a cut-and-paste from Wikipedia here, this guy is a legitimate grad student who needs to learn about World War II by having you write his well-sourced academic papers. "I've done this type of thing before," he writes, "so I am comfortable and experienced with it." What could go wrong?

Here is a screen capture of a real help wanted ad for an administrative assistant posted on New York City Craigslist by Sotheby's. The ad has been fixed now, presumably not by its original poster (click on the magnifying glass at the bottom to enlarge)

Taking the "unpaid intern" degradation to its logical conclusion, erotic novelist Chad Leslie Peters posted an ad late last week to Craigslist seeking a "female participant" for a 30-day love affair which he plans to turn into a book.

After finding themselves without a date to their cousin's wedding in Saratoga — and after being told that bringing dates was "mandatory" in order to keep them from "harass[ing] all of [the bride's] friends all night" — two brothers who self-identify as "born and bred Craigslisters" did what came natural to them: They took to the "activity partners" section of Craiglist to solicit wedding companions.

If you live in a city of a certain size and do not own a home, chances are that you have had to spend a not-insubstantial portion of your life scanning Craigslist and other ad services looking for a place to rent. If you are not a particularly wealthy person, chances are that you have come across a great many listings in your price range that employ the crushing phrase "kitchen privileges."

The job description is simple enough:

Who among us hasn't at one time or another experimented with having Pat Robertson in the bedroom trying to save our souls while we got it on with our partner in front of him? That's what college is for!

In a blind item that popped up on Eater's radar this afternoon, a person claiming to be "known in and around NYC" for his "somewhat famous restaurant in the meatpacking district" and "several" Food Network specials offers up this noxious confession: "I farted on every single one of my 37 employees."

It is for moments like this one that the word "wacky" was created. A man in Queens has an offer he would like the students among you to consider (with thanks to reader Lindsey G., who is keen-eyed and true.):

Today on Craigslist, a generous man makes an offer to friendly women with shitty jobs:

New York and New Jersey are trying to dig their way out of the post-Sandy mess. Besides thousands stuck without heat or power, and a nor'easter on its way, the biggest problem right now is a massive gas shortage.

A Georgia family is hoping for a happy ending after their home of twenty years was ransacked and stripped of possessions by a mob of bargain hunters responding to a Craigslist post advertising a "fairly large, free yard sale" in the driveway.

Thanks to Brian H. for sending in this odd roommate listing on Craigslist. It suggests the kind of unusual living arrangement that seems almost doable — until it veers into creep territory.

Hey ladies! Any of you out there looking to meet an aware, available guy? You're in luck! This young gentleman is looking to share some pavement space (and maybe a tent) at protest in favor of transparency activist Julian Assange. He'll be at the Ecuadorian embassy all weekend, protesting the British government's attempt to extradite Assange to Sweden on charges of sexual assault — and what better place to meet someone than a rally in support of an accused rapist?

Police in Idaho arrested a man last week after he allegedly posted a Craigslist ad asking random men to break into his home and rape his wife.

Hey girl, have you been on the set of Girls in the last two days? Well, if you have brown hair and are tallish, the only not-white guy is looking for you. So shuffle on off that Greenpoint sound stage—you're no extra in this love story.

Hey, did you have sex in the bathroom of a Motorhead/Megadeth concert in Chicago? Do you have a red mohawk and black pentagram gauges? Congrats, you're a father.
