Above Ground Pool
Found On: Wheeling Craigslist
First come first serve for a 4″ deep swimming pool
Clearly not suitable for swimming. Or lounging about comfortably. Or enjoying in any other standard-issue pool way, but there has to be some use for this thing.
- Maybe the kids could play “Swamp Monster” in it. Just don’t let them go in without safety gear. And inoculations.
- 100 million mosquito larvae could be harvested from it – today.
- The local constabulary could use it to practice dragging the lake for bodies.
- Evidence could be hidden in it – no one would willingly search its depths.
- And I suppose placing it in your backyard might also convince people you’re mentally ill, which could get you out of any pending contractual or family obligations, or even criminal liability for that thing you did a few months ago. You know what I’m talking about.
Umm, also it is only four inches deep, so I am guessing that pic is an extreme closeup.
Why do you think that big peice of wood is there? We they preforming stunts into the 4 inch pool? Is it holding the pool up? Does that giant piece of rotting wood come with the pool?
HEY! It’s wheelchair accessible! Don’t knock it.
Hot damn!…I’ve been looking for a tub to put my Big Aunt Ethel in…
Even if they meant to say “four feet”, it certainly doesn’t look four feet.
@Budgyrl I’ve seen enough AFV to know that that ramp only signifies one thing. A smiling half-wit will pedal furiously to reach it on his bicycle, only to fall directly on the ramp and slide off into the pool – bicycle landing on top of his lifeless body.
Horror movie set anyone? It’s perfect. Middle of the woods, completely unappealing to passerby, quite obviously in the middle of nowhere, a ramp with a “clean” spot, possibly from cleaning up the blood. I’m willing to bet there’s at least three bodies in that somehow black water.
Or, if the description *isn’t* a typo, a hand, perhaps.
Also, is that a pillow at the top of the ramp?
@Meghan
uhm I bet Some mean dude probably saw that with a hobo sleeping on it probably thought of a way to be a real jerk by stealing his bed and bath, and then though ” Wow now what am I going to do with a pool with black water and a board with a pillow, Oh yeah I can post it as free on Craigslist!”
@Meghan
perhaps the horror movie has a traveler who is lured to the ramp to sleep on the pillow, also is that another smashed up pillow thats half burried in the grass?
[...] The toaster-user equivalent of basejumpers? Free solo’ers? The kind of people willing to get into this pool? I think you’d have to be a pretty serious adrenaline junkie to take a shot at this [...]
I like a dirty pool as much as the next guy but I have my doubts that this water is even black. There is some sort of black covering on the sides of the pool (note: you can see some of it coming off on the right side of the ramp) that makes the water appear dirtier than it really is. If you look at the blue part of the pool you can clearly see the blue shining through the water, an indication of pristine water. Perhaps I’m wrong though, the lack of a visible bottom sure gets my hopes up that I could possibly hide evidence in that pool.
