    DINASOR BOOKS GOING CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – $150

    COLLECTION OF ROURKE CHILDREN DINO BOOKS GOING CHEAP. ALMOST DIRT CHEAP. CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx

    You mean this set of “Dinasor” books, which you can get new from the publisher for $113.70? (That’s not exactly “dirt cheap” either, but $150 is definitely less dirt cheap.) Not to mention that you don’t actually specify how many of the books you have available, just that you have a “collection” of them.

    But really … “dinasor”? Really? Let’s assume that you have the books in front of you. Here’s the cover of one of the books:

    Sure, I can see how you’d get “Dinasor” out of the properly spelled word on the front cover of each book of the series.

    Washer & Dryer – $50

    Washer and dryer for sale. Both work great! We are moving into a place that already has a washer & dryer. Washer is toploading, Dryer is frontloading.

    $50 for both, or $35 each.

    Call Alyssa at xxx xxx xxxx if interested.

    Look carefully at the pictures. (Click on them to make them bigger.) Both the washer and dryer apparently live in mirror world. In mirror world, on is off, up is down, and clearly left is right! In mirror world, you put your clothes into the washer to get them dirty, and into the dryer to get them wet! In mirror world, clothes wash you!

    Oh wait, that’s in Russia. Never mind.

    for sale sign – $25

    for sale by owner sigh $25 cash.

    I hadn’t thought about it before, but I guess if you’re trying to sell a “For Sale” sign, you can’t just put it out on your lawn with a “For Sale” sign on it, could you?

    It’s kind of meta.

    chihwahwah chihwawa for sale

    We have two chihwawa’s for sale. Can be purchased seperately.

    1 boy brown in color

    1 girl all white in color

    $1500 each neg. They are both from a family-owned, local, established, pet shop in affluent neighborhood. For more information or to schedule a visit, email us.

    Thanks

    Chihwahwah. Really?

    Oh, you weren’t sure about the spelling so you then put in chihwawa just in case. Good plan.

    Add to that that they’re apparently selling something that belongs to two chihwawas, but they’re not specifying what that something is. I’ll leave the rants about possessives vs. plurals to the professionals over at apostropheabuse.com.

    KINEZO IS A POUSTI – $40

    U KNOW WHO U R

    I had to look it up in the Urban Dictionary. Shouldn’t this be under Personals?

    Sigh. Remember when you could actually find decent, reasonable people posting on Craigslist, and not twelve-year-old kids who think it’s cool to insult each other online?

    Yeah, me either.

    That “Humanity is doomed” tag is going to get quite a workout, I think.
