Do you have a dream of going to the inaugural events in Washington? No tickets or place to rest your weary head? Don't give up the audacity of hope! In this great nation, anything is possible. As long as you're down with some close encounters of the casual kind.

The D.C. Craigslist "casual encounters" postings are abuzz this week with generous offers of tickets and hotel rooms for the rock-bottom price of your personal dignity.

Gawker has gathered the best of the worst of these patriotic posts, making it easy to hustle your way into history.

There's the friendly middle-aged man in Pentagon City offering his home to a couple - as long as they're willing to enjoy an erotic massage in front of his fireplace. He helpfully notes that while he's bi-sexual, "that does not mean anything has to happen. But it doesn't mean that it can't." And since you'd never want to buy a pig-in-a-poke (apologies, pun police), he includes an X-rated photo of himself and his wife, who happens to be in Europe, but is "OK with this."
