It's the best of Craigslist!
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Was Michael Jackson just being a weirdo, or was he trying to say something? This teacher from MetroWest is considering using the "Thriller" video in his class to talk about what Michael Jackson was really trying to convey. So, he asks of you, "Was this just a weird video he thought of, or was MJ trying to tell us something?" Could waving lead to love? A guy in Westborough says he waves to you, and you wave back, all the time. You're a blonde and he "wouldn't mind chatting and getting to know you better." He'd like to take it a step beyond waving from your cars as strangers. Help bring Torbie home Torbie, a female medium-long…

Our Best of Craigslist column highlights ads from the region that you may find entertaining. You probably will. We do.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Are you itching for a job? There's a family in Holliston that has so much poison ivy in their yard that they are willing to pay someone $20 an hour to help them pull it out of there. This straight guy likes to wrestle other guys ... in jeans He's not looking for anything else, says this 28-year-old guy from Marlborough. But he's on the lookout for another guy to wrestle, in jeans. Tight ones. You've lost that flirty feeling It's so hard for this 30-year-old MetroWest guy to hit the reserve button with a friend he used to flirt with, a woman colleague of his. But he misses the tension, the good natured spirit. This "…

This week's Best of Craigslist features love, missing pets and free leaky hoses.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. They rejected your blood, but he's not rejecting you It looked to him like they wouldn't let you donate blood at a Red Cross drive last week in Westborough. But the trip wasn't wasted, as a guy in line noticed that you "exchanged glances." If you're interested, you need to tell him what your first name is (because he knows it) and describe what he was doing while waiting. Rocky is still missing This very friendly dog named Rocky is still missing from Marlborough. He's a great dane and dobie mix who is mostly black but with some brown mixed in to the fur. He is ten months old, and his family misses him. Contact them with any …

Our Best of Craigslist column highlights ads from the region that you may find entertaining.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. You know that friend you have who likes bacon a little too much? Yeah, this could be him. This poster from Central Mass wants to know what you think about on a warm summer day. Innocent enough, right? We should note, however, that his ad, posted in the "platonic," section of Craigslist, started off with the anecdote about how he had a fantasy while outside on his lunch break about a woman who was wearing a bikini made of bacon. Now that he's spilled, it's your turn! (Actually, don't tell us. It could be a violation of our commenting terms.) He probably stopped searching for your "missed connections" Craigslist posting in …

Behold. We bring you the best in postings this week on our local Craigslist.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Tell him how your phone was acting strangely, and you could have a date Last week, a guy shopping in Ocean State Job Lot in Westborough noticed you. You being a redhead on crutches with a cell phone that was apparently doing "weird things" while you were shopping. We're not sure what your cell phone could have been up to, but if you can prove you're the woman, this man wants to talk with you. He would have talked to you then, but it would have been "weird" because he had his child with him. The guy's straight, but he really likes the way you cut his hair Hey Mark, a hair stylist in Shrewsbury—there's a guy who goes into your…

Also, free hideous couches, and free haircuts (which probably aren't hideous).
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Couches for free, if you can bear to look at it A person in Holliston is parting with two couches that were popular, quite possibly, for a few weeks in the early '90s. Maybe. Both, which are in good condition and do not smell of smoke or pets, would be "great with a slipcover" and are "very comfortable." You've got to pick them up. Did you happen to pick up a full set of golfclubs, in a bag? Yeah, someone is missing those. A person driving a truck near the Northborough/Berlin town line (the Solomon Pond area) returned home to find the tailgate opened, and the clubs nowhere to be found. In the event that two people lost a …

Yes, this is all really out there.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Will looks for Grace A single, gay male living in Framingham is looking for a single, straight or lesbian "gal pal." He'd like someone close to his age with varied interests ... someone to go to a club or a bar once in a while, cook a meal, shop or dine out. Pack a rake, a hard hat and a bathing suit This may be the situation for you if you are a landscaper, construction worker and a boat driver. A person on Lake Masspenock in Hopkinton is in need of someone in the morning and afternoon to go for a boat ride before and after your job, which would landscaping and construction. Heavy on the drums, and practice time A …

And can you possibly help move 'ferniture?'

This oven in Grafton has plenty of good toasts left in him. In honor of Earth Day, this family really dreads tossing this perfectly healthy toaster in the trash. While he may not be as handsome as the models you see in the magazines, he's a rugged, hardy worker who has kept himself clean and still has all his knobs. Please be serious if you call about this toaster oven. He's waited at the door a number of times only to be stood up. Did you come across a rug on the highway? Give it up. That rug's not yours, and there is someone who has been desperately seeking it since …

Craigslist is full of information ... and crazy surprises.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. We learned this week while browsing the listings on Craigslist that spring brings out the people full force posting in the "missed connections." Like blooms on the vine, these people are awakened to profess their love on the internet. You are the most beautiful woman, you work at Wegmans and your name begins with a "C" There's a guy out there, who says he's 35, and he has sent you a rose (electronically, but uploading it to Craigslist) and wrote a poem to you that starts, "You are the most beautiful woman in the world." He "catches a glimpse of your beauty" on Sunday evenings at Wegmans in Northborough, where you work. This …

Man says sorry for scaring a woman in the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, and more.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. What we learned this week: there are a few guys out there looking for pot smoking "buddies" to hang out with, people still don't know the difference between "you're" and "your," and there are lots of curb alerts. A Dunkin Debaucle (we didn't say drunken, we said Dunkin) A man issued a heartfelt apology on Craigslist, saying he is sorry he perhaps made a woman pee her pants in the Dunkin Donuts Drive-Thru in Marlborough recently. Apparently, the man was enraged when he saw the woman chuck an old iced coffee cup out the window. In anger, he picked up the cup, knocked on the window, asked if she had dropped something, and …
