Things You Wonder About from Craiglist Ads

I do want to make clear that I am not nor have ever been nor am planning to be a nudist - but perusing the "housing wanted" ads on Craiglist on the outlook for a possible summer roommate to help with dog-sitting, I stumbled across this one.

(I haven't blocked name or phone number because, well, this is a public listing.)


There are so many ways to parse this and so many ways this makes me wonder:
  • What is a family nudist?
  • There are nudist houses in my neck of the woods?
  • "I am ready" - for what, exactly?
  • "Can send a photo" - arghh, the full monty, I presume?
  • "What your requirements are" - would would one require of a nude roommate?
  • Why are race, maturity, and respectfulness the only personal attributes listed?
  • Is spelling out every other number in a phone number some sort of secret code?
  • Wait - "Please stay nude" ?!?!?

Sara, I am disappointed in you. You do know we're trying to make B'Con 2011 the first clothing-optional crime convention?
