Off Topic: Craigslist Casual Encounters: The Hilarious and Disturbing World of Seeking Sex Online
Case in point; Henry Russell started posting fake ads for dryer lint and old aluminum foil, but quickly realized casual sex would bait more chumps. A year later, these posts make up the book Craigslist Casual Encounters: The Hilarious and Disturbing World of Seeking Sex Online. As someone who has used Craigslist a few times (no, not for that you pig) I was always amazed at the types of personals that show up. Since I have a friend or two who swear these things happen to them, I have to assume the world is full of just enough freaks to make this an entertaining book. Hopefully Amazon Kindle will provide me enough free samples to try it out. Here are some examples and all of these received over 100 responses, some over 200.
Examples include:
“I want to invite 3 guys over and have a competition. You three battle it out, and the one with the highest score wins me.”
“I’m lookin for someone that can come over to my place for something fun but quick. I can’t drive because my son is here sleeping.”
“I’m home from the bars, without a car and dying for some Taco Bell. If someone would be willing to pick me up a volcano tacos, baja chalupa, and a pepsi, I would be forever thrilled.”
“This isn’t for sex or anything like that. I just want to punch you in the face, but am open to other ideas if you have any. I would bring my best friend along just to be safe.”
“What I would like to do is have each of us dress up in bear costumes. I’ll fix up my bedroom with forest decorations to give the whole scene some more authenticity.”
“In 4-6 sentences describe what you would do to me to make my toes curl. I am not looking for lengthy responses, so keep it within the length requirements, and please refrain from using run-on sentences.”
By the way, the book is available on Amazon.com for $14.95 with a current rating of 5 stars from 3 readers.
Frankly, an Amazon reader names "Roderick Lightning", a porn name if there ever was one, described the book exactly as I would expect (hope) it would read:
"This is a very entertaining read. It's equal parts disgusting and hilarious. There are a ton of antisocial, desperate freaks out there and Henry Russell does a fine job chronicling their horrifying perversions. Read this book. You'll either laugh uncontrollably, or you'll crawl up into the fetal position and wish you could erase the mental images that these stories will inevitably conjure up. Good stuff...either way."
Ok, i'll take one.
