I HAVE A PAINTBALL GUN FOR SALE
I HAVE A PAINT BALL GUN FOR SALE
Apparently, this person has a paintball gun for sale.
This is what would happen if Ernest Hemingway posted on Craigslist. Short, declarative sentences. “I have a paintball gun for sale. The sun is hot. I like cheese.”
Thanks for the post, Aileen!
Want a Not.A.Lion t-shirt AND a Llama-nun's Prayer mug? How about a Cat Math mousepad? Of course you do!
All are now available as t-shirts and other things! (The llamanun mugs contain the YSaC group prayer on the back.)

I think this is the best form of a CL ad. After all, it gets right to the heart of the matter without any of that useless trivia like model, make, price, condition and location.
If I stumbled across this, I’d nominate it for Best of CraigsList, or at least the “I’m an idiot” award.
Gun……..
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
–Ernest Hemingway
That makes you wonder why this fellow is saying a farewell to arms.
Nice, nice.
I think what he’s trying to say is that he has a paintball gun for sale.
Wait, I’m confused. What’s he selling again?
French Prudential Chester Drawers.
French Prudential Chester Drawers, doo-dah, doo-dah,
French Prudential Chester Drawers, oh dee-do-dah-day.
You may now resume your regularly scheduled programming.
Possibly a dinning table. It’s hard to tell.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That’s really all I have to say to this. It made me smile and giggle in a non-cynical way. There’s something so innocent in it.
“Well, it’s a paintball gun, what more is there to say?”
Oh, and you have a paintball gun for sale? I now have “I have a lovely bunch of coconuts” running through my head thanks to that.
But…could I take it for free???
I’ve spent the last few weeks in awe of all the wit around here. Finally, today, inspiration strikes and for once I think of something cleverish to say… only to scroll down and see that you’ve already said it. Darn!
Clearly I’m out of my league. 🙂
I’ve totally given up on trying to outwit anyone on here. We’ll get our chance Jenny.
It’s why I barely comment anymore. Everyone’s trying to outwit one another. It’s turned into a contest.
They’re too danged clever for me, I just watch and enjoy 🙂
Cyrus, Martha, kristen55 – Don’t give up! Comments are the best part of this place. No one can post a winner every time, but you can assist. Above, I posted a gun-related Hemingway quote. It wasn’t so funny, but it set up lost_compass for what is possibly the best post of this topic (That was awesome lost_compass!!!).
In reality, we aren’t trying to outwit each other, we are enjoying humorous banter. The back and forth aspect is much more important than one-upping each other. There’s room for everyone in the conversation, straight lines, puns, literary references, limericks, haiku, and plain old statements about the CL post. Come on, jump in any time!
Seriously — please comment! It’s not about one-upmanship, it’s about a community of people enjoying each other.
If it would prompt more people to comment, I’ll remove the comment scoring thingamabob …
NOOOoooooooooo pretty please don’t remove Pavlov’s dinger!!!
I feel like it’s a sleepover or something. You know when you used to have those, and you get together and suddenly EVERYTHING is funny…and you’ll say something that would barely get an eye roll at other times, but in this setting you all collapse in a fit of giggles.
And then at some future point, someone will reference the joke or story, and you’ll all laugh hysterically. And trying to explain it to someone else will just get a raised eyebrow.
“You had to be there”
This is that place…..
“YSaC…you had to be there”
“YSaC…you had to be there”
Can we please, please, get that on T-shirts?
Pretty please stay! The more the merrier.
Meredith, you can take it for free or OBO only.
“Or OBO” is a nice touch.
In the same vein as “ATM Machine”
I’m personally a fan of Automated ATM Machines myself.
Now I really want to see a post that has the title I LIKE CHEESE.
And then, of course, the post in its entirety would be “I like cheese.”
Maybe we should each post one of those in our local Craigslist? The only problem is which category to put them in. “For sale / Wanted”? “Personals / rants and raves”? “Services / Beauty”?
Any ideas?
Cheese services. I am all for this, sir!
I think it definitely belongs in Erotic Services–except I heard they got rid of that section.
Still. Imagine being an escort reading that section for possible job opportunities. You happen across a post that just says “I like cheese”. Your mind would be awhirl. Does this person want you to dress as a giant wedge of brie and give him a lapdance? Does he want to film a splosh video of you being slopped with great handfuls of Cheez Whiz? Has he painstakingly whittled a hunk of parmesan into a dildo, and, if so, is it getting used on him or you?
So … how much do you want for it, dude? Please tell, the suspense is killing me!
I have to go to the bathroom.
Oh wait….this isn’t where we list random thoughts? Damn. Nevermind.
Well, on the bright side, everything is spelled correctly, and it is succinct.
I wonder if he has any paint balls as well?
Only if his aim is really bad, or those he played against were really good. Maybe.
If he *had* paintballs for sale, don’t you think that he would have told us? Twice?
I have a love bird for sale. I have a love bird for sale.
(In truth, I have two love birds for sale, so maybe this poster also has two paintball guns for sale?)
For some reason the first declarative sentence that came to mind after I read this was,”I like big butts and I cannot lie.” The brain works in mysterious ways.
Thank you for the (still ongoing as I type this) giggles.
And I, upon hearing your thoughts, had to think: “I have a big butt that cannot lie”.
I am now shaking my booty in my seat. Silently, of course.
Actually, there are two items for sale: a paintball gun, and a paint ball gun. A subtle but crucial difference in the realm of paintballers (and paint ballers too).
Pants. That is all.
anybody know anyone selling a paintball gun for sale? price is no object. but i’d take it for free.
I HAVE POSTED A COMMENT
I HAVE POSTED A COMMENT
In the original screenplay for “The Shining” (1980 Kubrick version), one of the “big reveals” is that Jack Torrance’s novel consists entirely of “I have a paintball gun for sale,” typed over and over in a variety of attractively formatted styles. Truly chilling.
I believe it was an “F-ing paintball gun for sale” that Jack was typing just before Wendy nailed him with the baseball bat.
ohh, here’s a contest proposal – write a Craigslist ad in the style of the famous (or infamous) author of your choice.
I like it!
Excellent new topic for the forums!
Brilliant!
Yes, yes, yes!!!
I have a banana and would like a Fuji apple.
Nah, that’s been done. 😉
Uh Puddlecub – Fuji makes Windows based computers not Apple…….
As always, the comments are priceless. Love it!
