Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

The "Solving the Jeff Sullivan Problem" Memorial FanPost

Tiny by seattlebruin on Comment 1126 comments

So I was going back through the Lookout Landing Hall of Fame and re-reading one of our greatest triumphs - "Solving the Jeff Sullivan Problem ," which for the uninitiated was an attempt (primarily by Brayden, seattlesundevil and I) to hook Jeff (and Graham and Corco and Coach) up with a girl from Craigslist as a thank-you for all the hard work he's put into this site.

Only problem is that the links don't work anymore! Brayden reminded us the other day of the thread, so I thought we should resurrect it. Plus, you never know what you'll find on Craigslist.

Here's my incentive clause - whoever finds the best post by the end of the day, I'll rec every post you make in this thread.

Just to get you started

I can’t see her profile or picture, but if anything most people SHOULD have high standards, or at least apply the standards they want in a bf/gf at about the same as the standards they apply to themselves (fat uglies get fat uglies)

I have seen several posts with the same picture (not this one).

I suspect most of these pictures are not really them and they just Google them. The ugly ones are probably pranks and the use someone’s contact information to screw them over. The hot chicks are probably people who are just trying to get someone to call them.
