    looking for this


    let me know

    Heather sends this in, saying, “Aaaaaand… That’s all. No pictures. No description. And why is it in the “free” section? Is the title meant to have a question mark at the end? Because I was looking for a mysterious, description-less Craig’s List posting for free! (I usually have to pay for those– but not today!)”

    Ah, the zen of Craigslist. Weren’t we all really looking for “this”, today? I know I was.

    Maybe we should get this poster in touch with this guy. It sounds like they might be able to work something out.

    im asking $200

    you can reach me at xxx xxx-xxxx

    “Shitzu”? Really? You know, I think there should be a spelling test for prospective dog owners. Can you spell the name of the breed you’re adopting? No? Then no dog for you.

    That’s quite the keyword list for a “shitzu”. I wonder how many people start off looking for a Saint Bernard and end up buying a Shih Tzu instead because it popped up in their keyword search. Probably about as many as start off looking for Chryslers or Kenwoods, I suppose.

    Keyword spammers deserve to die. As do people who post ads selling animals on Craigslist.

    (In a rare moment of seriousness for me: I’m disturbed by the number of people who are already selling the animals they got for Christmas because they “just can’t take care of them anymore”. Seriously — don’t advertise that you can’t take care of an animal for more than five days and then insist that it go to a “good home”. That’s just stupid and wrong. Grrrrr.)

    I have TWO rows of staples that can be used for an office size stapler. Unused and ready to be loaded and put to use. Email if you want to come by and take a look!

    Two whole rows of staples? Really? Wow, that’s like … 420 staples (assuming the industry standard of 210 per strip), which is worth … hang on, let me do the math … 5000 staples on staples.com = $3.99, which = $0.000798 per staple … so this is worth $0.33! Wow! What an amazing deal!

    Looking for a car? What better place to look than on Craigslist? I’m sure we can find you exactly what you’re looking for.*

    1997 Pontiac Grand Am – $400


    1997 Pontiac Grand Am runs good but wont start. I don’t know whats the matter with it,need it gone asking 400. Trades are acceptable

    168

    The car runs fine as long as you don’t do anything foolish, like trying to start it. But who would try to do that anyway? That’s just crazy. Think about it — if you never start the car, you’ll never drive it, which means you’ll never get into an accident! It’s really a safety feature!

    No? Okay, maybe you would prefer this one?

    1991 lincoln town car – $1000


    the car is in good condition the transmission has no reverse thr car needs a sterrin collom and a grill

    I mean, how often do you really need to go in reverse? And “sterrin colloms” are optional equipment, right?

    * Provided that what you’re looking for is a piece of crap.
