Craigs List

I discovered Craigs List through my significant other. No, we didn't meet there. He goes there to look at furniture and other crap for sale. I go there for that, real estate, and the rant and rave section. The rant and rave section is where I have discovered that people are basically retarded. At least here. Seriously, here's the link:

Apparently, people have no idea what punctuation is or how to spell. "Their" is 3rd person possessive plural while "there" is an adverb/pronoun/noun/adjective and "they're" is the contraction for "they are." So the sentence, "There a bunch of idiots over their," should be, "They're a bunch of idiots over there."

Oh and go to the "collectibles" section. That old phrase, "One man's junk is another man's treasure," applies there. For example, you can find the following items for sale:
  • Harley Davidson cordless phone ($50)
  • M & M Dispenser motorcycle ($25)
  • Harley Davidson drive-in speaker set ($300)
  • KISS Trivia game ($25)
  • 1950's Kenmore hairdryer ($100)
  • 1978 Orange Bowl tickets (make offer)
  • Yoda hand puppet ($35)

Pretty much any old piece of crap you want to buy is available. There are also the hard luck stories of people with no money and whatnot. Of course, some of them are scams and some of them are just plain irritating. However, a few are kind of pathetic. So if you have some spare time, check out your local Craigs List. It makes you feel a whole lot better about your own life.

Craigslist.org.......selling our broken, usless, boreing cr@p for the same price we paid for it.

Because we're 'special'....we even have our own BUS!

But I have got some useful stuff for a good price on the site.
