Sandy inspires Craigslist users to seek sex, money

Much of the Jersey Shore is under water. Tens of thousands of Americans have lost power. Lower Manhattan looks like a wet war zone. And on Craigslist a male nudist in late middle age is seeking out his “Hurricane Snuggle Bunny.” Also, someone with a broken caps lock key thinks President Obama conjured Hurricane Sandy to help him win the election.

Humanity is never at its prettiest in the unadorned pages of Craigslist. Why would an historic storm change that? The following ads appeared today in the classified site’s New York and New Jersey pages.

Sic. Sic. Sic. Sic. Sic. Sic. Sic.

 

Already Having Cabin Fever! – m4w (Bensonhurst)

Are you fed up already with all the storm coverage and watched all the old movie reruns? Its only a few hours into this “super storm” and Im already craving human interaction! If you sweet, witty, creative and have a wicked sense of humor, Id love to hear from you. Age and race is unimportant…..only a great personality! So if youre home alone and bored as I am, lets be bored together and exchange emails or maybe even a phone call. Say hi!

Hurricane Sandy Shelter – m4w – 41 (Nassau County)

If you have to evacuate due to hurricane Sandy, or need a place to stay i have temporary housing for Female only and small child must be able to get to Garden City area, might be able to help with transportation. Must put help in the “subject line” or your message will be deleted!

STORM TREE REMOVAL REASONABLE – 732-703-8407 (OCEAN COUNTY AREA)

STORM TREE REMOVAL—-ALL OCEAN COUNTY—-
REASONABLE—-
CALL JOHN—732–703–8407

SANDY CREATED BY HAARP SO OBAMA CAN WIN THE ELECTION? (OBAMA GETS NATIONAL AIR TIME ROMNEY INVISIBLE)

WHAT ARE RTHE CHANCES THAT OBAMA USED HAARP TO CREATE THIS STORM OF THE CENTURY. THIS IS HIS OCT SURPRISE. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION, A STORM OF THE CENTURY SHOWS UP TO GIVE OBAMA A NATION PODIUM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS? ROMENY WILL BE ALL BUT INVISIBLE. PEOPLR HAVE VERY SHORT MEMORIES IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY AND MARKETING.

[Editor’s note: HAARP is possibly this. ]

Want to hit a museum? – m4w – 29 (Upper East Side)

I love visiting museums everywhere, but particularly in New York, as so many great ones. Have a favorite?

Well educated, have a job that I love and have lots of hobbies though most of all love great and intriguing conversation!

Also has a funny way for us to meet: Trying to join a grad school group where my final remaining task is that I have to find someone whom I have never met and kiss their feet, so silly I know!

So what do you think….Intrigued?

Rained in..how about some fun, imaginative online roleplaying? – m4w – 27

Having recently discovered and experimented with this, I’ve found it to be very appealing. Especially as an English grad/writer with a good imagination, it’s a lot of fun to create & imagine roles and scenes to act out with someone. Details make it very realistic, and it can be more intimate than being there in person since your partner shares more with you about themselves than they probably would in person. Whether it’s a scenario involving strangers meeting, a couple on vacation or even a 50 shades scenario, it’s definitely extremely erotic and satisfying. Has anyone else been enjoying this as much? I’m just glad I discovered it.

We could be a young couple living together, rained in on this stormy day, watching tv in bed as the storm rages outside..anything else is up to our imagination.

Male Nudist Seeking Female Hurricane Snuggle Bunny – m4w – 59 (Upper West Side)

59 year old nudist who loves snuggling would love to have a voyeur snuggle friend to ride out the storm with. Photo upon request.

 

“Shelter from the Storm” PhotoShoot for Cool Female Model (Flatiron)

Photographer / Producer is offering shelter from the storm in midtown / Flatiron studio for female model (or models) who may need to evacuate and / or want to take advantage of this the indoors to do a variety of photoshoots while the storm passes. Why not take advantage of the time and produce some cool and creative images while Sandy passes us by! We’ve a lot of good props to get creative with, especially guitars, so it’s a plus if you’re a rock n roll girl, sing, or play some music. There’s a sofa-bed for you to crash in, and food, so if interested get here while it’s still possible! For immediate consideration please send 2 photos (include full body) and you info and if you want to see my port, can get back to you with that as well,
