    2 Costume Characters (professional) “Garfield” and Teddy Bear – $600

    2 Costume Characters for sale. One is “Garfield” and one is a “Teddy Bear”. These are professional quality and you can make some REALLY GOOD MONEY with these either renting them out or booking party’s. I’m looking for::: first of all a really nice TV(a must) AND AND AND XBOX 360 OR OR OR A PS3 WITH WITH WITH some good games OR $600.00.

    If you can make such good money with these costumes, why doesn’t this guy already have a nice TV and a video game system?

    Oh right, because those are the WORST costumes imaginable. If someone wore that to a kiddie party I was at, I would pay them to leave.

    Although the “teddy bear” flipping the bird in the photo is a nice touch. Kids must love that.

    Well, obviously the guy is her ex — I mean, who gives their girlfriend only one-quarter of a carrot? I mean, one-quarter of an onion is fine — in fact, I think that’s the present for the four-month anniversary — but one-quarter of a carrot?

    What do you have? What do you need?

    Those are pretty existential questions, but I’m relatively certain that I would never answer either of them with, “Disembodied and possibly photoshopped goats.”

    Academically Delinquent Student Seeks Writing Coach

    Sensible [college] senior seeks beneficent academic, advanced degree student, or otherwise professional writer to act as guide through the vicissitudes of writing. Though my trouble with writing remained a private albatross for years, I don’t want my last semester to turn out like the never-ending story on account of a few papers, and, ahem, a thesis. A helpful sensei would read essay drafts, provide compositional and critical theoretical feedback, and be generally, sensitively, and honestly encouraging. I’m open to email correspondence or face to face meetings. In exchange for your services, I will cook, clean, babysit, or perform any other reasonable and ordinary unskilled labor or light techie task you need.

    Most likely translation: Despite the fact that I clearly know my way around the English language and a thesaurus, I’m terminally lazy and want someone to write my senior thesis for me.

    Wanted: Blackhawk vs. Red wings 10/25 <> Have: Art Work – $225

    Will trade 1 piece for 2 Tickets in 100 or 200 Level.

     

     

     

    If I had 2 tickets to this game, I would SO trade them for that picture of a hot dog on the beach, surrounded by swimsuit beauties, circa 1972. It’s the fact that the hot dog is wearing a hat and sunglasses that does it for me.

    What about you? Which picture would you trade for? They’re both clearly worth 2 tickets to an NHL game, so it’s a tough decision.
