And this week's Best of Craigslist is upon us.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Tiling the time away You don't need the board or the dictionary. That will be provided. You need only the desire to play Scrabble with this person in MetroWest who wants a Scrabble buddy, and clearly does not use the app on the iPhone. This is the real deal. Weekends are open for this Scrabble player, and he or she suggests that you could meet up for a game or two at Dunkin Donuts. You should be either an intermediate player, or advanced. He's as free as a bird, now, and this bird wants to sing some Skynyrd A guy in Westwood says he can "get away with singing Ronnie Van Zandt." While that doesn't sound like a rousing …

Here is the latest and greatest we found on Craigslist this week.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Highway connection It seems lots of drivers on the Mass Pike get shot with Cupid's arrow. Another man now looks for a "gorgeous" woman who was driving on March 13 around 6:30 p.m. on the Pike, getting onto the Exit 13 exit near the Natick Mall. "So like everyone else I can't believe I am posting here, but I really have no idea how else I could find out who this girl was. You were driving a Honda CRV (I think), you had dark hair, and you were absolutely gorgeous. So I had to find out if you were single, and what your deal is. I hope this works!" Let us know at Patch if it does work. Well, the car started yesterday Today, the …

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 no …

This week's Best of Craigslist has some missed connections, and free coal.
Notes on Craigslist perusing this week: there's someone in Hopkinton trying to sell a whole lot of Playskool toys; it's easy to pick up Dave Matthews tickets if you want them; and a nativity scene can be yours (even a glowing one) if you should do a search. There is also someone in the MetroWest area offering you an opportunity to make money by printing your own money, legally. Patch didn't feel comfortable passing along that link. That Santa's stacked, and that's a fact—ain't holding nothin' back David in Westborough is trying to unload a unique stacking ceramic Santa that is professionally hand-painted for $25. He'll only take cash, and you must pick it up. This smoking Santa comes from a non-smoking home We can't confirm that the …

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 …

The fun, the funny, the wacky and the genuinely informative pieces of the week from Craigslist.
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 wear …

And to the "hot guy who runs Pleasant Street Pizza" in Marlborough ...
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. Could a workout work out? A woman in yoga pants at Bill's Restaurant in Hopkinton caught the eye of a guy who was also in there earlier this week. "Phenomenal body! Just wanted to say you made my day a bit better. If you are ever free, maybe we could work out? (smiley face)" You said hi. So can you please send a photo of you and those boots you were wearing? Politeness will get you everywhere. Perhaps even a …

Butterscotch Pony needs a home, and comes with a brush and a carrot.
For your convenience, and pleasure, we've cultivated what we deem to be this week's more interesting, amusing, and helpful posts on our local Craigslist. Feel free to post your favorites in our comments section. Will trade Legos for something equally interesting Someone in Northborough is willing to part with 30 pounds of Legos, a Radio Flyer brand Tailspin bike, and a glass coffee table with gold trim. That is if you're ready to barter, and you've got some "interesting or collectible stuff." Oh, and it should be mentioned you'll need to pose nude and have fairy-like qualities A professional photographer in Westborough working at the Rhode Island School of Design has been an established illustrator for 20 years. Right now, the photographer…

Did you lock eyes with someone recently in Holliston?
You know the hours of entertainment perusing Craigslist can provide. You can find a job (some of them legit), find a good deal on a bag of used bubble wrap, and wonder if that guy will ever approach the girl at the kiosk in the mall. For your convenience, and pleasure, we've cultivated what we deem to be this week's more interesting, amusing, and helpful posts on our local Craigslist. We'd love for you to add your own favorites. Warning: Nanny in New York is a scammer, and "not a Christian" A poster on Craigslist warns others of a "nanny," whose handle is "Karen P." on care.com, is nothing but a scammer. Karen P., apparently, interviewed for two positions in Shrewsbury. She "quit" via voicemail and took off with the advance payment. "I …
