Friday Freak Show: Your Hair is Very Pretty
September 19, 2008
Generally speaking, Fridays are the hardest days for me to write. I’m burned out from work, my brain is a mush of CPT codes and ICD-9’s and DX codes and all sorts of other medical billing crap that trust me, you don’t want to hear about. Last Friday, I posted a blog displaying a couple of Craigslist ads that amused and appalled me at the same time.
Therefore, I’ve decided to implement a weekly sampling of the best that Craigslist has to offer…so without further ado, I give you: Friday Freak Show.
You were being shoved into a Dallas Police car
Date: 2008-08-14, 8:58AM CDT
I shouted “&%$@ the police”…you made the black panther fist. You got tasered, I got goosebumps. Your hair is very pretty. Let’s chat after you make bail.
- Location: Dallas
- it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Oh my heck.
First of all, I’m shocked - shocked, I tell you - that the WRITER of this posting didn’t get tasered by the police, what with the shouted expletive and all. Or, at the very least, kneed in the groin and handcuffed. Maybe he is a very fast runner.
Secondly, who says a raised fist is necessarily a Black Panther reference? According to Wikipedia, a raised fist could also mean that the woman getting arrested is a member of the American Indian Movement. Perhaps she’s a Women’s Liberation member. How does he know she’s not a part of the United Farm Workers of America??
Thirdly, this man got goosebumps when he saw a woman get tasered? What an idiot. Personally, I get my kicks from watching pitchers get hit with line drives from home plate. But maybe that’s just me. Tasering? Wimp.
Finally, “your hair is very pretty.” Well, knock me down and scrape me off the floor with a spackling tool, that may just be the best pick up line I’ve ever heard!!! (And if you don’t pick up the sarcasm in that statement, I have several posters I found on Craigslist who are looking for dates!)
I read that too and thought it was ridiculous. Really? THAT’S the kind of woman you want to date? LOL
If the guy is willing to overlook the fact she is criminal and possibly a Black Panther…
…her hair must be REALLY pretty!
Wow. That’s…so sweet? And he’s willing to wait until she makes bail. I thought guys like that didn’t exist anymore.
Corrina :: Apparently it is! Think of the beautiful life of crime they could have together, somewhat akin to Bonnie and Clyde…so poetic.
Kev :: It better be the prettiest hair on the face of the planet. That’s what I’m sayin’. Maybe he’s jealous.
Erin :: Seriously, WHERE are all those guys hiding? Apparently all the good ones AREN’T either gay or taken!!
If she makes bail and contacts him, I’d say they deserve each other! LOL!
Jay :: DEFINITELY!!! Hahaha…
[...] good friend Angi of We Sleep for Dreaming shared a Craiglist ad from a guy willing to overlook any negative character trait so long as a girl has pretty, pretty [...]
All I can say is - ROFL!
JT :: Haha, yes, that was my first reaction as well! Followed by, of course, a sober “are you kidding me???”
