This week, the best of Craigslist focuses on jobs, items for sale, freebies and love frustrations.
A new year brings new expressions of love, new things for sale, and lots of people getting rid of their old TVs. In today's browsing, we note that it's bizarre that someone from Clinton would think his or her town is spelled "Clintin." Also, the fake tree might go faster if it didn't say it was "artifitial," and those pallets might go if you didn't call them "pallots." They perhaps are getting mistaken for a member of the onion family rather than wooden support frames. Never say there's no such thing as a free can of disinfectant Hurry and grab this one before the person changes his or her mind. Someone in Framingham bought a caravan from a local school bus company, and under the caravan's seat sat a "partially used" can of spray …

Here are this week's shining stars on Craigslist.
From the sweet to the sassy to the strange, here are the best in this weeks Craigslist postings. One person's stuffed animal and picnic basket is another's treasure More treasures up for grabs in Grafton! Take a look at the picture attached to this story for an idea of what awaits on the lawn for you. The freebies include a large stuffed animal that looks like a cross between Alf, a llama and a collie, a large oak mirror, a picnic basket, a window fan and a small TV from the early '90s. Stop! Don't pay for those wooden fish There are a pair of free wooden fish up for grabs in Framingham. Perhaps purchased in Bermuda, these colorful fish are in great condition, except for the hanger that fell off the back of one of them. Again, this is …

This week's best of Craigslist has been shot with Cupid's arrow.
Weird, helpful, wacky or fun ... it's the best of Craigslist this past week. Have you an extra baby sulcata tortoise? Dan in Marlborough is looking for a Gatorade bottle-sized tortoise. He's already got plenty of large females, so he is in search of some juvenile tortoises for his "family." Most unlikely love ballad: "We Met By the Dumpster" Recently, out by the dumpster behind Elsa's in Shrewsbury, you asked a guy if he needed a light for his cigarette. You smoked, you talked, you wished him luck. He never got your name, but thinks you could have been really good friends. "I doubt that you will ever see this, but if you do, tell me what I was making a joke about with you..I hope to God that you see this, and hope that I see you again some…

The best of Craigslist includes a connection on an escalator and a person looking to rehome some hens.
The African voodoo spells continue on Craigslist. And there are a whole lot of folks looking to sell cars, firewood and dilapitaded furniture. But that's not the best we came across this week. As always, here's a smattering of the weird, the funny and the informative on Craigslist this past week. It's kind of dirty but it works, and it's free Just this week, a very used refrigerator was pulled from its home and dumped on the street in Natick at 12 Washington Ave. It's "kinda nasty but it works." The owner of the fridge doesn't need to talk about this. If you want it, swing by with a truck and get it. And be sure you've got plenty of Lysol. The orpingtons are excellent layers Egg layers that is. A person in Framingham is parting with free …

And be whomever you want him to be: witch doctor or voodoo specialist will cure all your woes.
Observations upon browsing Craigslist this week include that the same person in the MetroWest region seems to be posting as not only an African voodoo specialist but also a witch doctor from Haiti. Both can essentially perform the same services, including getting your scam money back, saving your marriage, putting an end to sleep walking and curing mental illness. Hey, witch at the checkout Hey lady at the Shrewsbury Home Depot checkout, did you put a spell on a man? That's what he wants to know. Must be a man with a sense of humor, as he adds "lol." "You were smiling the whole time, and I was trying to act nonchalant... I liked your hat...and the rest of your outfit. I made a joke about what I was buying...do you remember what it was? Let…

The fun, the funny, the wacky and the genuinely informative pieces of the week from Craigslist in the greater Marlborough area.
Two observations after browsing around Craigslist this week: there are a lot of snowblowers for sale, and people in Southborough seem to be on a selling spree. Here's what we've picked out for you read about this week: This has no effect, but it'll still help, OK? "This Spell casting do not have any effect on any one,But just to get your problem solve ok." That's what this person in the MetroWest area would like to tell us about the "best spells caster, love spells and money spells and more!!!" It won't affect anyone (sorry), but you can still get scam money back, eliminate family fights, stop your relationship from ending, deal with disturbing menstruation, and wins you troubling court cases, among other miracles. Oh my God, did you …

And be a cereal killer.
It's funny, informative and sometimes downright strange. No matter what, Craigslist can be a great diversion. And Patch has taken it upon itself to scour the listings and find the best of the best from our area, so you don't have to. Long cool woman in a black dress Well, a black dress anyway. Were you wearing one, recently, and in Milford? This guy wants to say sorry for staring at you, but you looked so darned great he couldn't help it. That is all. This python is pretty normal, as far as pythons go Here at Patch, we admit we're not overly sure what a "normal python" behaves like. We're thinking probably like a snake who would like to slither in freedom through the grass with his friends in native territory. However, plenty of answers …

Discover meatloaf perfection ... in Grafton.
From the helpful to the interesting to the downright absurd, here is MetroWest Patch's weekly "Best of Craigslist." God will bring back the $20K in stolen gold A poster in Natick says when he moved to North Providence last week, the movers stole at least $20K in gold. It will not be easy to sell, he says, because it's an ancient gold. "if someone finds that gold i will reward him/ her with the higest amount i possibly can. Pictures on request. In faith of the GOD if you are the one who stole it give it back to me its my marriage gold i will reward you with the highest money i can."

And Yoga Pants in Hopkinton ...
Weather is getting colder, and Craigslist is rife with people selling firewood, old winter clothes and used pellet stoves. But among the "typical" posts are the weird, the interesting and the perplexing. Each week, Patch takes a look around to cull some of best of Craigslist for you to laugh about. Or scratch your head. Or respond. Pizza's hot, and so is the pizza guy The "guy who runs Pleasant Street Pizza" in Marlborough is apparently hot, and always friendly. This other guy takes notice of that. "You are always very friendly to me when I come in to order pretty much the same thing. You had 2 others working tonight so you only rung my up. I would like to get to know you more. Doubt that you'll see this but it's worth a try. Tell me what…
