If blogs could post Craigslist ads.

Bored blog, sick of the same old stats, seeks discreet encounters with random readers. Please no fly by night commenters--looking for long-term commitment leading to RSS feed subscription.  Be willing to try exotic, unusual sentence formulations.  Open to anything but flame wars are a hard limit.

About me: Four years old but feel only a few months at heart.  Friends tell me my graphics are cute.  I take up more bandwidth than I’d like but I’m working on slimming down.  Party days are long behind me but still enjoy occasional linking and group blogrolling.  I do have Google ads but otherwise financially self sufficient. 

Bonus points if you have a fetish for black text on white background.

Your pic gets my screenshot.

Hah! That’s great.

You forgot the “NO—it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests” part though.

Brilliant!

How about a missed connection?

You were linked off of a friend of a friend’s blogroll, posting about hangnails on Tuesday. I closed the window too soon and now I can’t find you again. Mail me with your favicon if you might be willing to hook up… I thought your fonts were amazing.

You should totally post those on C-List, I bet they would make the best of.

Then you could parlay the personal ad into hardcore roleplay:

I will go by the name of Wonked, and I shall call you Gimp. You will only trackback to me when I grant you permission. Any unauthorized trackbacks will result in me ripping off your SPAM filter and flooding your comments server with humiliating remarks about the size of your blogroll.

Man… my google page rank is getting bigger just thinking about this..

I just changed over to black text on white. Maybe we can meet for coffee and exchange AIM screen-names.

A little over a year old, but extremely wise for my age. I am into sporadic posting, seedless grapes, and tying shoelaces.

Sole fetish is the masochistic pleasure of watching Fox News, and feeling my IQ drop to the lower 20s.

Prefer long term link commitment but only if the other party exhibits regular perusal of my blog wares.

Enjoy comments, but much prefer large amounts of cash deposits in unmarked bills in my swiss bank account.

Not into regular stats review. Much rather skewer my left thigh with a fish fork.

Hope to receive some sort of reply to this comment as I am holding someone else’s breath and his life depends on it.

Deleting cookies and erasing browser caches won’t cover your tracks when you don’t turn off comment syndication Wonked! I KNEW IT!!!!!

You’ve been syndicating RSS feeds for months now you whore!

I got drunk one night and put you on my feed. You kind of grew on me, so I’ve been stalking you for months.

Months.

I’m taking this opportunity to say I’ve been lurking and reading for ages, but your ad just made me need to out myself.

Posted by El  on  06/22  at  12:34 PM

I am an RSS virgin. Will you explain it to me, show me how it is done, and then, if I am willing, promise to be gentle?

Posted by Peggasus  on  06/22  at  01:53 PM

I’ll go slow Peggasus. First I slip my feed into your…

oh forget it, I’m done.

it’s “discreet.” also, that would totally make best of craigslist.  post it!

Posted by  on  06/22  at  02:44 PM

Thanks for the correction.  I actually posted it under “Misc. Romance” just for fun.

Posted by Greg  on  06/22  at  02:47 PM

My fetish is that I’m addicted to the TV soap Hollyoaks.

...There! I said it.

Still feel dirty, though.

Anyway, I’m 21 years old (going on 8), big, busty and loud, and I’ve been visiting Geese Aplenty for over a year. I linked to you as soon as my Blog started up (because you’re cool. Only cool Blogs get added to my list) and have been adding an occasional comment here and there ever since.

So, Blog of weird British chick with three cats and an addiction to bad TV seeks fantastic Blog of Greg Howard for farts and giggles between countries. Regular visits of both Blogs and occasional comments prefered.

If terms are agreeable, pop on over.

Perv…

Posted by maarmie  on  06/23  at  12:21 PM

Yeah, I feel dirty reading all of these ads.

Yet strangely aroused.

I will got and take a cold shower now.

Posted by teahouseblossom  on  06/23  at  06:02 PM

Only 14 days old, but angry enough for everyone.

Grudgefuckers welcome.

Posted by grampa  on  06/23  at  09:51 PM

If you got any fabulous responses from C-list, don’t you think you owe it to your loyal readers to post them? *please*

so amused…

Posted by  on  06/28  at  02:55 PM

No responses except from a real-life friend who knew I was posting it.  Someone recommended I post it in “Missed Connections” rather than “Misc. Romance,” which is a dead zone, so I may try again later.

Posted by Greg  on  06/28  at  03:07 PM

Sold. After numerous visits via Jess Riley, I’m going to have to break down and sub now. And that’s not something I do easily. Well, not anymore, at least.
