    Yes, the tags actually say, “My Cup Run It Over”. With the quotation marks. It’s just too painful.

    I’m hoping my comments will runneth over with snark. Take it away, folks!

    Submitted by DM — thanks!

    Junk around house

    Must have 4 wheeler to get to property.

    I’m aware that there are people who specialize in salvage, but don’t you think this is a little … ambitious? “Here’s years worth of crap that I’ve left lying around outside my house … come take it away for me and I won’t pay you for doing it.”

    The only thing missing in that pile is a vacuum cleaner. It might be fun to go Office Space on the printer though. (Warning: music NSFW.)

    Are You Ashamed Of The Lack Of Dressers In Your House

    It is a very frustrating experience staring at those empty spaces in the main rooms of your house, clothes scattered all across the floor, and your closets just as messy; your rooms are just perpetual messes that never seem to get in order, no matter how much time and effort you spend cleaning them. What is the result of this frustrating process? Your overall well-being suffers and you find yourself making little problems into much larger difficulties. These little things that we are exposed to each day are the triggers for negative snowballs in our lives. Studies have proven that not having the necessary little things to complement our lifestyles are what give rise to bigger problems and the big problems are never really the cause. All the while, you are confused as to how you got yourself into such a knot. Coupled with the constant reminder, “Money can’t buy happiness,” mantra, causing you to think that saving your money will help your problems. The truth is that money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy you the convenience to allow happiness in the door, such as buying the things you do need. Don’t let the little things build to something much worse. Your home is your sanctuary and you need certain things to make it so. You are fooling yourself to think otherwise.

    [Editorial comment: There’s more — much more — below the cut. Please read the lengths this person is willing to go to in order to sell two dressers. (And they’re not even French Prudential dressers!)]

    Tahiti Sam Parrot Statue – $200

    Tahiti Sam is about 2 feet tall and looks like he belongs in the enchanted Tiki room at Disneyland. He’s very authentic looking and in very good shape. He would be great to set up in your Tahitian style bar or patio. Very tropical looking. He weighs around 20lbs.

    Sorry, I just redecorated in early tropical monkey, and this would just clash. Unless it sings Jimmy Buffett songs on an endless loop, in which case it would be really, really cool.* Like the Billy Big Mouth Bass.

    *By “cool”, I mean “annoying”.

    In related news, there was an incident at the Make-Your-Own-Pottery place yesterday, in which twenty second graders on a school field trip had to leave before they had finished making spoon holders for their mothers. Authorities said something about a “creepy old guy” who was scaring the children.

    (Is it wrong that the more I look at these, I kind of like them?)

    Unopened Kraftmaid celing cabinet

    We are giving away a brand new unopened Kraftmaid celing cabinet for FREE!! It is green and very sturdy. Comes with two shelves and all of the hardware. Unfortunately, we have no room in our kitchen for it…it can be used anywhere (kitchen, bathroom, garage, shed, etc). First come, first served. Please call (xxx) xxx-xxxx to pick up.

    Jonathan S. sends this one along, saying, “What aspect of this is unopened, exactly? It’s been taken out of the box, AND the cabinet itself has also been opened.”

    Hmmm. Good points. Maybe it’s a closed-minded cabinet, and it needs to have its mind opened to the wonders of the world. For that I would recommend it be placed with the table and the Nirvana cabinet; maybe our unopened cabinet will learn something about itself and about the world. (Like how to spell “ceiling”, perhaps.)
