Golden Stalwart aka Shameless "Us" Promotion
On Fish's suggestion, We are for sale in San Diego Since I would never condescend to abuse craigslist, it's obvious that I think we have a viable, exportable commodity here!
What a day!
So many wonderful advertisements, so much weirdness, savings, and unintentional humor! We've got that Imperial spy bot from Hoth, this item of questionable legality, this thing for those who feel so guilty over snacking they must self-penalize, and even some …
See you next year, September
I was all excited to get down to brass tacks and do some serious craigslist spelunking after a day off (rippin' it up at the velodrome--support your local bike racers by hitting up Tuesday night races through October!). There will …
Everybody always wants to throw glass in stone houses and, sooner or later, someone's going to lose an eye!
Today's Runner-Up is an actual, honest-to-goodness Art Car! And it's all ready for loading up with naked, sunburned hippies. Wooo! We're going to Burning Man! I actually really dig the time and affection put into the ad--even going so far …
Beyond the Catchy Jingle
Evening! Got a pretty swank Runner-Up for the day. Terribly ironic that I've got an entire warehouse of 15.86" lime green pocket dog holders with bright purple lightning bolts embroidered all over. Guess I just can't help the poor girl …
I say, Doctor, what say you of this Botanical Impossibility?
Super late night at work this evening. Lots of difficulties leave me very tired. Midnight blogging sesh in full swing. Craigslist curiously shy on interesting posts today, so I'm lucky that the whole day has passed by and the best …
Three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three!
Frogtoes, my man, I gots to hand it to you. I don't know why you're selling all this wicked amazing stuff, but I like your style, bro. Another Runner-Up No Prize for you, home slice! Also, I'm offering a Special …
Is free stuff always the best?
Today's fantastic Runner-Up needs no explanation. Read. Chuckle. Move onwards! The winner of today's (always objective!) Best Of award goes to: 1967 World Book Encyclopedia Set (Normal Heights) It's absolutely possible that this gem was sold, door-to-door, by an actual …
I like how she thanks us, just for looking...
Hey-o and thanks to all commenters over the past week. Your participation is much appreciated! I try to reward the readership with the best possible Runner-Up I can dredge from the craig. Enjoy! I actually have to advocate for this …
I wonder by what means they "left town?"
Getting on it a little earlier today, as it is a pretty lucrative day in classified ads. Today's Runner-Up gets the nod for being incredibly melancholy. Basically, this is a ghost. In happier news, here's the best ad for today: …
Who is this Best with which we are to wash?
Hard as it is to follow a day where there were Dirt Boards!! for sale, I've done the browsing and come up with your Runner-Up for the day. If it was in Normal Heights, this ad would definitely have a …
That Sweet There-After
So, my first impulse had been to exhibit the coolest craigslist post that I could find on the very day it came out, thus staying as immensely fresh and relevant as humanly possible. Of course there was a kink in …
They Are Not Good For Music
Since yesterday I have learned something about Art Cars. I am told that the Art Car is a sort of tradition at the Burning Man> festival; a paradoxically exclusive and surprisingly expensive community experiment held yearly in the scorching Nevada …
The Premier, in which Things (viz., the "Point" of This Blog) become Clear
This is highly apocryphal, but it's said that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? "For sale. Baby shoes. Never Worn." The anecdote is usually told to novice writers in an attempt …
