A World-Record Breaking Karaoke Sadist in a Luchador Mask: Best of Marion Craigslist, Jan. 8 Edition

Also: a polish off your guarding skills and your youth bowling trophies, Lost and Found, and a lonely new mom looking for a friend.


Sure it's now fully 2013, which promises to be just as bad as 2012 but without the Mayan end of the world to hope for. But at least there is the greatness of the Best of Marion Craigslist that you can clutch tightly to your chest for comfort.

Away we go!

I'm feeling nostalgic, let's start with a Craigslist Haiku

Crawl in a hole 

I had my best friend crying at my doorstop again because of you. Gaknar, Supergaknar, Isucamper, Noel Johanas Blansworth and whatever other aliases you are going by to now pick up women so you can subject them to your sick and twisted ways get some help.
Don't karaoke at Safari, run 5ks in nothing but boxer shorts and a luchadore mask. You are only making yourself seem more demented and pathetic. 
You let your wife suffer while you got a world record and wrote a book. She sacrificed her body to try and make a child for you and she became so weak . You dominated her and made her your puppet with nothing of her own. You know no means no....but you never thought of her as a person so it never mattered what she thought, felt or said...

Anyone want the tree that fell on this person's house? It's free

Something sad about this one

Bowling Trophies (youth)

I have seven bowling trophies that were earned by my son.....some time ago.....
There esteem has diminished with time.
With a little dusting and a little re-purposing, another youths bowling pride could be lifted to new heights.

A mother looking for an activity partner

Lonely New Mother

My name is Cassie, I'm almost 21, and have been a mother for a splendid nine months. I'm looking for an energetic friend, male or female, (probably female because my husband is easily jealous), to be a gym buddy, go to movies with, or to simply have intellectual conversations with. The intellectual conversation is probably my biggest thing. I used to be a very avid, passionate writer, but since becoming a mother I find I'm neither motivated or inspired. I'm just dying for someone to kick both my mind and my body into gear. I find that without someone to share in my misery I won't do a single thing.
