We thought that using Craigslist to find someone to harass one’s married lover’s wife was bad, but Topless Robot offers up this NYC Craigslist ad. TR does warn with its headline that “The Most Awful Nerd in America Found,” and that sensitive souls might be disturbed by it—plus “I don’t think I’ll ever be clean” again after reading it:

“Need an amputee to complete my Halloween costume (Brooklyn)”

So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half reconstructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn’t reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I am big enough and strong enough to both pull off the Chewbacca look and to carry around a lot of weight for the night. So basically I am looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs – preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time so that we can work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to hit and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?
