Scrabble Buddy Please Apply; Kitty Needs Home; Singer Wants to Do Some Skynyrd

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 …

Needed: Woman in 'Genes,' Paranormal Investigators

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…

Witch at the Checkout, Blue Spruce in a Bag, New Shrewsbury Restaurant

And be whomever you want him to be: witch doctor or voodoo specialist will cure all your woes.

Observations upon browsing Craigslist this week include that the same person in the MetroWest region seems to be posting as not only an African voodoo specialist but also a witch doctor from Haiti. Both can essentially perform the same services, including getting your scam money back, saving your marriage, putting an end to sleep walking and curing mental illness.  Hey, witch at the checkout Hey lady at the Shrewsbury Home Depot checkout, did you put a spell on a man? That's what he wants to know. Must be a man with a sense of humor, as he adds "lol." "You were smiling the whole time, and I was trying to act nonchalant... I liked your hat...and the rest of your outfit. I made a joke about what I was buying...do you remember what it was? …

Enticing Yoga Pants, Trangendered Monsters and Bible Handbook

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 …
