Actually, I thought this was almost clever, bordering on mean-spiritedness:

I'm sorry...didn't the link work?
Anywho, I don't wish an ill will on any working stiff ("never mess with a man's livelihood") but when I read the post title, I spit my coffee halfway across the room.

It's the thread rule (I was the original OP, not a thread nazi).
You need to copy and paste the title and body (usually as a quote) and provide a link for source.
That's because people sometimes realize how stupid they were and deleted, or they were flagged and it got deleted, or the Squier did sell for $500... OR it simply expired
Sometimes adding the photos with an IMG is also a good thing.
Haha, that's great, and I was supposed to play a gig there this Friday. Oh well, on to some other shady bar.
The trouble with linking to Craigslist ads is that they often disappear soon, making the link useless.

Hey, I can look like Uncle Fester!
Here's a gem...
Here's a gem...
So, in short, you're looking for a girl who wants to hang out with a bitter, pretentious loser. If you find her sufficiently pretentious, you might even let her sing.Weirdo-weird style
I seek a girl for a muse, a motivator, a rebel, a potential collaborator, a voice...
To make everything clear and respect each other's time, please follow the below directions:
1. If you know who the lady in the picture is, go directly to the last point
2. If you are looking for a musician who will play for you, or a band or project you can join immediately, you will not find that here. The goal of this ad is only to form a friendship which may (but doesn't have to) result in something musical.
3. If you do not have precisely defined musical taste - don't reply. When someone likes everything, they really don't like anything, and music has to bring out emotions - both the positive and the negative.
4. If you dream of a professional musical career, take part in all possible auditions, and your daddy already bought you a Professional Microphone - I wish you good luck, but please, don't reply.
5. If you like the music promoted in the media - don't reply, I don't like it by definition.
6. If you think of electronic music strictly in terms of dance rhythms - don't even try to reply
7. If you are a fan, or worse yet a performer of R&B, hip-hop, soul, metal, progressive rock, boy or girl bands, new age, country, disco polo, trance, highlander folk, party music or singer-songwriter folk - I beg you, please close this ad immediately and never look here again
8. If you haven't noticed for some time a stagnation in music that's less promoted - convince I'm wrong (the preferred version) or don't reply
9. If you are not open to experiments, unusual solutions and prefer the comfortable, tested and smooth road over the narrow and sloping path leading through underbrush into the unknown - don't reply
10. If you have reached this point (which I almost don't believe), then you are an exceptional person and don't hesitate to reply, even if you lack experience, because that's not at all what this is about
I swear, the very next ad that lists all the musical genres the ad's poster doesn't like is gonna get a response from me asking that person just what they do like, given that they've basically eliminated big chunks of the genres/styles/whatever currently around...

Also, my school blocks Craigslist.
I wouldn't call this "dumb", kind of awesome really.

Great Job Portland Musicians, Open Mics and Karaoke are now more popular than paying gigs Thanks to all of your wonderful support.
You have now managed to kill your own market and then you complain that you have no money and nobody comes to your shows or buys your CDs.
You all need to go to your community college and take a course in business and marketing then you would understand the concept of making $ vs providing services for free.
The club owners love you guys to death because you play and entertain their patrons for free. They're laughing AT you all the way to the bank.
I guess it's like Ron White said , "you can't fix stupid"
Now get out there and support those open mics cause they're here for the long run. I just hope for your sake the food stamp program is too.
