We were sitting virtually knee to knee in the cramped bus. She radiated sensuality. Her skirt rode above her knees — not exactly short, but close.

Not only is “Lulu” the worst thing any of the players have been involved in, it’s quite possibly a candidate for one of the worst albums ever made.

$250 Couple offering reduced rent in exchange for basic house chores (Upper West Side)

Date: 2011-08-24, 8:27AM EDT Reply to: hous-duphy-2563173640@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

We are a busy couple looking to offer a small room in exchange for basic house chores. We are both fairly neat, and our home is reasonably clean. However, we need someone who can be responsible for thorough weekly cleaning of the apartment, and occasional dishwashing. Our ideal candidate is looking for a long term arrangement, polite, submissive by nature, petite, and preferably under 120 lbs. The rent off course is nominal, and will be used to cover your own expenses such as food, laundry and living costs. We are also very open to the idea of offering free rent and pay depending on your performance and chemistry. We are both fit, business owner / worker, in our early 30’s, peaceful, and well educated. As for the apartment, it is comfortable, and conveniently located. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Craiglist: The place to find “submissive” maids to live in your place.

Craigslist: Are you “polite, submissive by nature, petite, and preferably under 120 lbs”? This room is for you.
