    authentic polaroid picture of jesus – $100000

    this photo was taken by my mom,she doesnt even know I have it,she is a die hard jesus fanatic every day all day.thats why I know its him,other than the fact that in the photo he is wearing a robe and a crown with a cross engraved in the middle of it with his hand extended toward my moms shoulder.there is also an angel above him wearing white gloves and she has wings.now for the special part. my moms deceast mother is next to the angel with her hands pressed together in a prayin position and theres a halo around her head.Theyre surrounding my mom.what makes this picture even more special to me is It saved my life . At the time that I most needed god the very first stack of photos that I picked up in search of him or any sign of afterlife and he gave me the greatest gift I could ever ask for his son. I only ask that you look at it before you pass judgement, thank you.

    So, wait a minute … your mom is a “die hard Jesus fanatic”, yet you haven’t told her that a polaroid picture of her contains both Jesus AND her “deceast” mother? Wouldn’t this be something she might really want to know?

    And how does one authenticate pictures of Jesus? Is there a certification agency somewhere? Can you take it to the Antiques Roadshow people? I can just see Leslie and Leigh Keno waxing poetic about this picture of Jesus and zombie grandma.

    (And I’m amused, because way, way back in YSaC, Vol. X I threatened to start a zombie grandma tag, but didn’t think I’d ever get to use it again.)

    Thanks to Brian for sending this one in!

    Life sized cardboard cutout of Beatrice Arthur

    Ive been having medical issue and can no longer use this for its intended purpose. Free to a good home email me to arrange pick up if no replies she is going in the trash 🙁

    What on earth IS the intended purpose of a lifesized cardboard cutout of Bea Arthur? And what medical issue would prevent said use? The mind boggles.

    vanity mirror with designs – $20

    xxxxxxxxx@bellsouth.net or cfmurphyxx@yahoo.com if interested

    this is a very nice vanity mirror with no imperfections

    309

    Sadly, the lack of imperfections in the vanity mirror itself does not mean that the reflected image also contains no imperfections. I mean, if that’s not a warp in the mirror, then that’s a really odd six-pack he’s got there.

    selling ford truck – $1200

    Sara and Geoff both sent this one in. Sara points out that apparently bee stings cause a lack of punctuation.

    Comfortable overstuffed chair w/audubon – $30

    We’ve had this in our enclosed deck and it’s in good shape with no tears, no odors, smokers or cats around. It has a drip stain from a storm that some water got in from but will clean up very nice for any room. xxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com

    307307a

    This endangered species of audubon was preserved thanks to the efforts of the National Audubon Society. Please remember them with your philathropic donations, because if audubons go extinct, where will we put our feet? WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE FEET??

    Sorry, but this is a cause I believe in very strongly, as you can tell. I’ve seen firsthand the devastation that losing a species of audubon can create, and I don’t want this to happen to the rest of the civilized world. SAVE THE AUDUBONS!

    And if you’re not interested in saving the audubons (because you’re a TERRIBLE person), perhaps you’d be interested in this?

    Free couch and 2 automans

    free couch little stained…i usually just put a blanket over it…i got it for free on CL so i just wanted to return the favor. Two matching automans as well. Cannot deliver or help load.

    Maybe free automans will tug at your heartstrings enough. No? My god, people, what do I have to do to get through to you?

    [Thanks to Roz and Amanda for submitting these listings!]

  • YSaC, Vol. 306: Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    I have no problem with fetishes in general. Sometimes people send me perfectly well-written listings for fetishes like spanking or bondage or S/M — I don’t post these, because as far as I’m concerned, whatever two consenting adults want to do in the privacy of their own home is fine by me.

    These entries deal with a particular fetish that might strike some as odd, but a search reveals that this is a pretty common request on Craigslist. I’m not posting them because I think the fetish is weird; I’m posting them because they’re textbook examples of how not to post fetish requests. Carry on.
