Craigslist Insanity

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all
I've been trying to help a buddy get a gig through craigslist and I'm sorta out of patience for all the ads that want the impossible. You know the ones band with label(interest) seeks.....
Dammit man if you actually had any interest they'd hand you someone who fits the bill IT'S WHAT THEY DO!!!!!!!
Or the ones that require some sort of image above any talent/drive/attitude....

ARRRGGGHHHHHHH

So I wrote one today, I've yet to post it but I'll gather some opinions here and hope you all enjoy a good laff.

*********WARNING HUMOUR AHEAD**************

Left handed trans-gendered one eyed bagpiper seeks underage angst free triangle player and a right wing Marxist non-aboriginal Didgeridoo player for Led Zeppelin tribute. Vocals an asset.
We're also lacto-ovo raw vegetarians+ 420 friendly so ideally you live under a box somewhere on the Martin Goodman bike trail and can pick me up for rehearsals.

No freaks

PS : Think I should post it? I'm concerned that I'd actually get a response, with pictures........

Nice!

The "No Freaks" line made me laugh out loud.
