    TO GIRL WHO BOUGHT DESK TOOK DRAWERS BUT NOT DESK – $90

    TINA, COME GET THE BODY OF THE DESK. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, HERE IS MY NUMBER, CALL ME FOR DIRECTIONS. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? COME GET ‘ER. I NEED THIS DESK GONE ASAP, LET ME KNOW OR THE DUST BIN CALLS.

    Tina, you heartless drawer-taker, you. Why haven’t you called? (I mean, other than the fact that the guy forgot to provide his phone number even though he said “HERE IS MY NUMBER”.)

    I don’t think Tina is coming back. Move on with your life, which is as empty and hollow as your desk.

    Submitted by KM — thanks!

    Large Brita – $7

    13 ¾ in. length, 7 ¾ in width, 8 ½ in height

    There isn’t really anything wrong with the listing, other than the fact that it was listed under furniture. I’m trying to imagine how one could use this as furniture. Any ideas?

    Half eaten bowl of fruity pebbles.

    I just poured a bowl of fruity pebbles and I got half-way through and I was full, I hat to throw them out with todays high milk and food costs so the first person here gets them.
    They’re still crispy and the milk is still cold so get ’em fast

    No thanks, I’ve just lost my appetite. It looks like a clown car threw up in the bowl. And that looks like a pretty big bowl of cereal for a “half eaten” bowl. I think I’d need a snorkel and flippers just to get to the other side of the bowl.

    Okay, I have no idea how to make fractional roman numerals. I’m also not entirely sure that the Romans HAD fractions. [Note from the research team: As it turns out, they didn’t. It also turns out I did 99 wrong — it’s not IC, it’s XCIX.]

    I just thought this one was kind of funny and didn’t want to wait to post it:

    Sofa – MOVING come get today before 5pm

    Date: 2008-10-30, 10:51PM CDT

    Mission Style Sofa. Brand is Bassett. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx for more info.

    I wonder how many people called this guy to point out that he posted it at 10:51 at night, which is, I’m pretty sure, after 5 pm.

    (Yes, I’m sure he meant the next day … don’t be a killjoy. It’s funnier my way.)

    Nothing wrong with that, right? I mean, yeah, there’s some spelling issues, but nothing too terrible. Not really worth snarking about. But then you see the pictures:
