Did he mention HE IS NOT GAY?

But the thing about not sharing his own crystals… that’s kinda gay :/
skysky

Methinks he doth protest too much…

Also, if it’s not gay, why does this dude specify that you have to be able to “keep it up without help”? Is he planning to score some chicks during this bizarre spirit quest he’s proposing?

…that’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen…

I laughed :) But it is a bit too perfect, isn’t it?

- gay/homoerotic behavior, this is a manhood thing. I AM NOT GAY.
- cock rings, can’t keep it up w/o help, you aren’t gonna make it on this quest

Sure, like any straight guy he wants a man with a natural hard cock with him in the woods. None of that queer cock ring bullshit.
Boomer

By stating he’s not sharing his crystal, may I assume he’s not talking about a place setting?

Get the feeling he was partaking in some of the Crystal he’s not sharing when the post was written? Far too lucid to be on psychotropic fungii.
Also, Nickleback’s The Long Road for the firequests and visionquests? Ouch. Ouch.

Finally, Kekko? Crystal sharing and gaiety have about as much to do with each other as Nickleback and gaiety.

Nickelback?? Gross. This guy is definitely not gay. In fact the description of this Manhood Outing is what I imagine a Nickelback camping trip would look like.

  “If you’re the heter-bro I’m looking for, then we can JO
  furiously/competitively and then just hang or whatever. I’ve got laser
  tag too.”
  
  That’s pretty awesome.

  I’ve got laser tag too. I’m pretty serious about this. As in completely serious.
  
  That’s pretty serious.

Come, Cloud Chaser….NOT A GAY THING.

I think I just had my own, one man JO circle. It was very manly.

The guys at Something Awful originally made all the Craigslist JO posts; the crystal part sounds like them.

  Now that I know about this website I need never refill my Wellebutrin Rx again. WHERE does he get the photos of these guys?

I really don’t get the JO thing, what does it mean? Also does he mean meth?
- gd23
  
  It’s certainly not a mistyping of OJ that’s for sure. Google it…you’re not at work are you?
- tw15
  
  Presumably JO as in Jerk Off (masturbate). There is also a Japanese martial art weapon called the Jo (still used by the Toyko police), but I doubt he means that.
- Halloween Jack
  
  I think that the crystals in question are the sort of quartz crystal jewelry that used to be (and, for all I know, still are) favored by New Age types. Basically, he’s proposing some sort of backwoods pseudo-Wiccan ritual where they masturbate and “charge” the crystals with orgone energy.

“Crystals get jacked, no lie.”
I wish I could un-see that sentence. Why would anyone lie about that!?

“…the crystals gave us the confidence to own those bears.”

I see next Monday headlines: “Dozens mauled at bear attack. Gay camping possible cause”

Add a drawing of a muscular arm that looks like a penis and you have an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

  OK, how funny would it be if this were now to bc an actual episode? I can totally see it!
GrrrlRomeo

Maybe not gay, but definitely g0y.

And you don’t have to worry about the music; he’s got it covered because he’s bringing the Nickelback CD!

Yes, as others have pointed out this is most likely fake, a CL prank, like the infamous “imitation crabmeat and HO scale trains” craigslist ad from a a few years ago made by Something Awful that went semi-viral (particularly the constant insistence that “I AM NOT GAY” right after obviously homoerotic statements.)

click and see, some of these are funny in a weird dada/surreal way:

bklynchris

OK, how lame am I? I did not know what JO meant! Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!

Finally, this so gay that I highly doubt any gay man would attend, invited or otherwise.

And yeah, the mention of a discman kinda made me yell BS in my best Penn voice.

    Maybe you should upgrade from beer goggles to crystal goggles.

This is like some craigslist equivalent of the bandana / hanky code, right?

I have only one response to this. “I’m out”

Not in an “out of the closet” sort of way–I mean, No! I’m not manly enough for this group, count me out…

While we’re on the topic of sweet bros looking for good times, here’s a great one as well:

Better brush up on my Schoenberg and other serialists before the firequest!
