Craigslist Gold Digger Post, Comedy Gold That Is

October 5th, 2007

So I’ve been forwarded this Craigslist “Gold Digger” post about 30 times so far. It’s about a girl who is seeking a rich banker type who makes at least $500,000 a year who then gets “slammed” by an actual rich banker type. It’s the toast of the email forwards at the moment. But actually, there’s an even better post I found on Craigslist. Take a look:

THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG’S LIST

What am I doing wrong?

I am an amazingly hot 25 year old female model. We’re talking super hot here. Super, duper hot. I mean I am quite the catch. And I’m looking to get married to an aspiring comedian who makes at least $10 an hour at his day job while spending most of his nights performing at smelly, dingy basement theaters all over downtown New York until 2 in the morning. Things would be even sweeter if this aspiring comedian had a prop box at home filled with several useless items designed for his ridiculous comedy characters such as an eye patch, several wigs, a few fake mustaches, a fake gun, a pirate hat, a magic kit, some Freddy Cougar fingers, a Hulk fist, a pair of giant eye glasses, clown shoes, stilts, and a tiny toy guitar.

Are there any guys out there who fit this description? Where can I find you? I dated a guy who had a few props at home, but they only consisted of a disco suit, one fake mustache and an afro wig that he’d only wear to costume parties. And that just doesn’t cut it. I need a man who has a whole lot more of these silly and useless props lying around the house than that!

Also I know of a woman in my pilates class who is married to a guy who is in an improv troupe called “The Ha-Ha Brothers”. They meet every Monday night from 7-10 at a rehearsal space in the Garment District on 37th street and try to perform improv scenes in their tiny, cramped space as loud noises are heard through the walls from the studio next door due to an audition going on for the Off-Broadway show, Stomp. How come I can’t get a guy like this? I’m so much hotter than that girl in my pilates class. So here are my questions specifically:

-Where do these aspiring comedians hang out?

-What type of day jobs do they have? Are most of them unemployed? If so, that’s fine by me. As long as their life consists of open mike nights, rehearsals, prop boxes and neurotic behavior in general, unemployment is fine by me (and actually encouraged.)

-What are these aspiring comics looking for in a woman? Please help me out! I can’t wait any longer!

I’m married, and don’t really know what type of lifestyle this girl is referring to. So I can’t help her out. But does anybody else out there have any ideas?
