    Sander for trade – Butthead


    im looking to trade my sander for a bicycle or some roller skates

    call me up
    Butthead 3000 i stole the sander from the dude in the circle

    In case you can’t read it, the caption on the picture says, “I stole this sander from the guy in the circle.”

    Here, take these roller skates. I stole them from the women’s roller derby team. I also gave them your phone number and told them you stole them.

    Legal Help By A Laywer Not A Paralegal For Barter


    I Will Barter My Legal Help For:
    Car Repairs On A Cadillac Deville, Lincoln
    Painting A 3,000 Sq. Foot House
    A Good Running Car
    New Roof On House
    PS3
    X-Box
    WII
    Or Any Other Barter On This Order

    Apparently Laywers Not A Paralegal Must Type With Capital Letters At The Beginning Of Every Word. Also Apparently Laywers Not A Paralegal Have No Idea How Much Things Cost.

    Here’s A Hint, Mr. Laywer Not A Paralegal: My New Roof Cost $4500. An X-Box Costs Under $500. Those Are Not On The Same Order.

    Oh, by the way: it’s spelled lawyer. Unless you spent three years in Lay School. Wouldn’t you love to see this guy’s briefs? (Oh, shame on you! I was talking about his Laywer Briefs.)

    Make me an offer


    Check out the pics. Send me a note if you want more info. Make me an offer.

    Two thoughts come to mind here:

    1. You know what would be really useful here? A size. Even if it was just a general idea of whether this is cut for a stick or a walrus.
    2. Am I making an offer on the dress itself, or for the time of the person wearing the dress? ‘Cause that dress is kind of skanktacular, and if I read “Make me an offer” with a sort of Mae West voice going on in my head, it takes on a completely different meaning.

    Matching Antique Side Tables – $100


    Two identical side tables, stamped with “Mersman 7429” on the underside. Mersman was a high-quality furniture manufacturer, and these pieces are a testament to that. There are a few scratches on top, noticeable to the sharp observer, and the legs could use a little cleaning up, but they are in really decent shape overall. I bought them at an antique dealer, but they don’t fit with the height of my other living room furniture, so I need to pass them on to someone else who will enjoy them!

    They are in the colonial revival style, but could easily pass for mid-century modern if you swapped out the hardware.

    25″h x 15.25″w x 22.5″d

    $100, but I am open to other offers – just email me!

    I’m just guessing here, but is there any chance they don’t fit with the height of the rest of your living room furniture because they’re made for a dollhouse? (Yes, that was the original size of the image in the listing.)

    Scratches noticeable to the sharp observer who also happens to have a telescope. Or a microscope. Whichever is funnier.
