Normal Craigslist workflow:
1. Take picture of tree.
2. Post ad requesting tree removal including picture.
3. After tree is removed, take down ad.

Sucking at Craigslist workflow:
1. Post ad requesting tree removal.
2. After tree is removed, take picture of tree.
3. Add picture of removed tree to ad.

In this vein, I expect to see “Car for Sale” ads with a picture of an empty parking space, “Help Wanted” ads with pictures of the person who’s already been hired to do the job, and “Casual Encounters” ads with…

NO. Not even going there.

Thanks for the post, William!

    “Live Oak? Tjat oak would not live if you put 10,000 volts through it!”

    It’s gone to join the copse invisible. It is no more. It is an ex-oak! It is not pining for the firs.

    Number 1, the larch, the larch.

    Number 2, not the live oak tree, not the live oak tree.

    Oh sure, from this angle it could be a live oak.

    It could also be a bee-infested portal to Hell.

    I’m just sayin….

      Alas poor Liveoak, I knew him Cap’n, a tree of infinite shade, of most excellent shelter. He hath bore me on his boughs a thousand times, and now how abhorr’d in my imagination it is! My BBQ rises at it.

    Wooden you know it?

    Just when Oaky trimmed down enough to fit inside her old bark, the neighbor gets jealous and wants her to leaf. Oaky thought she was finally going to catch that Silver Maple’s twig and now, he won’t even get a chance to admire her new foliage.

    It’s such a sad story.

    I have 4 tires and wheels I’m selling on my minivan. If you take them off the van I will charge you $25 apiece.

    It’s log, it’s log… no wait, that’s not quite right.

    *ahem*

    It’s stump, it’s stump,
    It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood,
    It’s stump, it’s stump,
    It’s better than bad, it’s good!

      Whenever someone asks me, “How ya’ doin’?” I respond with, “Better than bad.”

      Yes, I have a little place in my heart for Ren & Stimpy too.

    My wood is sticking in the air,
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    My wood is sticking in the air,
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    My wood is sticking in the air,
    So bring your tools, I’m willing to share.
    And the wood needs cutting down to the ground,
    ‘Cuz my pain is your gain.
