A good person in Albany, N.Y., has taken to Craigslist to seek $200 for his six-drawer dresser and attached mirror, with the possibility of negotiating in a matching night stand. Look closely, however, and certain other of this person's proclivities become clear. It appears that the posting has been removed since Reddit got ahold of it, but meanwhile another swastika-themed Craigslist Albany ad lives on. Writes a New Lebanon, N.Y., man whose neighbor whose garage bears "a Nazi flag with swastika and Maltese cross": "[...] we had a slight screaming encounter about the boudary [sic] dispute."

Enthusiasm is rare on sleepy, sweltering Friday afternoons, which is why the person who took to Craigslist with an unbridled zest for life deserves some due attention. The posting, which first surfaced on Gizmodo, was written by a 25-year-old "professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City." (Sorry to offend, but the F-bomb appears 16 times in his ad. Brace.) Anyway, this fella is headed out to San Francisco and has $1,000 per month to spend on shared housing. Some of his selling points: he turns off lights, he cleans toilets, he even cooks—"I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT." Plus—and this is really a big one—he's not racist: "A lot of people ask me, 'Hey, you're from Alabama. Are you racist?' And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all. I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE." He implores interested parties to email him, after which he'll provide all his vital stats: "I'll hook yo ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of karate trophies and a list of the top 10 women I'd like to bang before I die." We're done with this clown: just read the full post below.

Craigslist furniture ads with three exclamation points officially have us at hello, particularly ones that scream the words "Couch of Gods!!!" Turns out some guy in Auburn, Ala., is trying to pawn off just that on Craigslist for the majestic price of $150. Here's a snippet from the posting: "What's this? A couch? No, my friend, it's THE couch. This is the practical decorum of your upholstered dreams. Don't believe me? The next time you dream, take a close look at the furniture. This couch is there, chillin' like a boss in the corner. This couch has Inception'ed your mind (pics for proof.)" Later, he points out, "[T]his couch has a treasury embedded in it. Need a quarter? Reach in and grab a damn quarter. Endless supply. The snack machine won't even see your suave ass coming, you quarter-toting playboy, you." We can't say it's the best Craigslist couch ad of all time, but it's a close contender.
