    Gotta sit down to get up.Mined from the endlessly amusing Craigslist "For Sale" section, some viagra chairs to go with your vagina couch. Ad reads: "Set of four solid wood chairs for $100. The chairs are rumored to have healing properties, curing several long-standing cases of erectile dysfunction. 78 year old Tony Randall spent a dinner sitting in one chair and later that night fathered a child. Results may vary by sitter."An email asking what the seller's "results" were has not been answered a

    Now my only troubles are with the fashion police.In November, San Francisco failed to pass Proposition K , which would have decriminalized prostitution -- indicating a majority of city dwellers still think it should be illegal to pay or be paid for sex. Yet in a ruling handed down in state court last week, pimps, madams, or other folk who coerce a prostitute to work for them are home free. (Hat tip to The Recorder.) The ruling of People v. Wagner by the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Santa A

  • Bizarre Craigslist Barter of The Week: Queen Futon and Frame For Lap Dance

      After the murder of a masseuse who advertised on Craigslist, the hub of the online marketplace decided it would no longer host ads for "erotic" gigs - only "adult" ones. But the Craigslist universe is way too creative to let a matter of semantics get into the way of a good time. Apparently this guy (or so we're assuming) brainstormed an ingenious way to score a lap dance and get rid of his nasty old futon at the same time. Either that or he's an excelle

  • Hey DJ! Friday Q&A: Vin Sol

    The big names in dance music have Vin Sol on speed-dial when they come to San Francisco. The local DJ/producer/mixtape master is a chameleon with his setlists: he can warm up a crowd whether they're in the club for hip-hop (Yo Majesty, Prince Paul, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Mickey Avalon); dance rock (Ghostland Observatory);  or other DJ giants like Steve Aoki, DJ AM, and Flosstradamus. Tomorrow night, he's sharing the booth with A-Trak, who founded Fool's Gold Records and tours with Ka

Let's see if you can apply that logic to this ad from Craigslist's "barter" section, in which a San Francisco taxi driver offers to ferry folks around town in exchange for numerous innocuous items (and one that raises many, many red flags). We'll make it easy for you and we'll bold the red-flag swag: So I drive a cab 5 days a week (Saturday - Wednesday

    Internet provider of everything -- literally everything -- Craigslist today announced it will do away with its lawsuit-magnet "Erotic Services" section and replace it with a new "adult" category that will be monitored by staff. Fit for a king, eh?That being said, those with a need for a "Gorgeous Blonde Bombshell" or "SweEt & PeTiTe....SexXxy Blk/AsiAn HOTTIE!!!!!!!!" are not entirely out of luck -- the ads won't expire for another week. "Erotic" is still listed as a service both on the loc

  • Craigslist Previews Self-Authenticating Ad Listing

    www.tennesseelawman.comSo, you can't spell 'polygraph' -- but tell me, does this thing work? With the convenience of shopping via Craigslist comes the cost of bogus online claims and exaggerations. In this Craigslist-ese sub-dialect, "Canine-gnawed, smelly monstrosity" becomes "Vintage Queen Anne couch" and "mangy, rabid ankle-biter" becomes "sweet female puppy." On July 17, however, Craigslist introduced in the San Francisco Bay Area a type of advertisement that verifies its own veracity.

    The best part of Halloween is not the actual merry-making, but observing the aftermath of a night of booze-soaked costumed revelry. On Nov. 1, the streets of San Francisco were strewn with cardboard scythes and axes, as if an epic battle had taken place and quickly dispersed. (And in a way, it had.) There were some who never made it home, completing their morning walk of shame dressed as slightly deflated sexy bumblebees. The guy we spotted pushing an IV and bag of fluids down the street may hav
