    It’s the holiday season! And I HATE holiday music! But I still can’t help hearing this one to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” (start at seven for best effect)

    “3 Sets with planks,
    2 Sets a-are,
    FIVE BY FIVE TALL!
    O-one set is four
    Nine by six
    Taaaaal.
    And the couplers has cross pieces.”

    In the holiday spirit yet?

  • YSaC, Vol. 1794: I gotta crow.

    Sleeping Beauty: Crow Edition – w4mm (My neighbor’s house)

    Maleficent has struck again. Princess Aurora (or prince, not yet verified) has yet once again been cursed and has been in a deathlike sleep for the past 4 days. Maleficent has kicked it up a notch this time. Aurora is trapped in the body of a crow, sleeping peacefully on a tree swing in my neighbor’s front yard. So, I am now seeking a Prince Phillip to provide a true love’s kiss. Looking for someone with a good immune system, just in case this is just a random dead crow that happened to die in a really cool way. Yet, I’m pretty sure it’s Aurora. Kinda.

    To apply, just show up to my neighbors house and start kissing the dead crow, I mean Aurora, and hopefully you’ll have the magic touch!
    (If an older man comes out of the house and starts shooting at you, you didn’t get the job).
    Good luck!

    Most of the time, we don’t use this type of post on YSaC. This type of Sparky doesn’t really *suck* at Craigslist, they’re just trying a little too hard to be funny. It raises the question of why they pick Craigslist as their medium of choice in the first place, instead of a bathroom wall or the New Yorker, but whatever.

    In this case, however, I am intrigued by their choice of category. “w4mm”, as far as I can figure it, is intended to be used by women looking for two men for a threesome, and not, for example, for people seeking romance with a dead crow. I’m pretty sure I don’t WANT to know what category that goes in, and if you bring up rule 34, I will punch you in the neck.

    Thanks for the post, Zippy!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1785: Owner of a Lonely Seal

    $$===FREE HEART EGG/PANCAKE RINGS

    * 2 Piece set
    * Stay cool knock down handle
    * FDA approved
    * Heat resistant to 500F/260C
    * Makes perfect heart shaped pancakes and eggs

    Just to be clear – this is a heart:

    To be fair, it is not shaped like this:

    ♥

    However, it also not shaped like a seal, an armadillo, or the state of Michigan. In addition, of the two things in the set, there appear to be three of them.

    Thanks for the post, Stephanie!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1784: Stumped

    Free live oak tree, good for bbq ,or fire place logs you cut down


    free live oak wood. must cut down , great for fire place or bbq .text me at [phone]

    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!
