November 26th, 2009
Found On: Dallas Craigslist
FREE, COME AND GET IT, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU COME TO GET IT SO I CAN BE THERE. JUST RESPONED TO THIS ADD AND I WILL CALL YOU ASAP
Well, of course, you can’t get the job done without one of . . . what’s that now? An old pick-up bed? Cattle feeding trough? Post-explosion propane tank? Wait, wait, don’t tell me – one half of a sensory-deprivation isolation tank, turned into a wildflower planter! The very one used by William Hurt in “Altered States.” A little piece of movie history, right here.
Hot mop roofer? What would they want with….what is that, anyway?
Basically, it’s melted tar that is spread on a flat roof with “mops”.
The tar is heated and contained in a large, usually iron or steel vessel, which, we assume, is what this pile of rust is.
Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
OK, so hot roofing tar is melted in large steel or iron containers like this, but how long will that hot tar stay in a container with no side on it? And if you fill this thing with tar, your house is going to be covered with leaves before fall gets here.
So, he wants to: KNOW WHEN YOU COME TO GET IT SO I CAN BE THERE. Guess he wants to take picture of dumb ass person who will take anything as long as its free.
Respond to that ad and I’ll call you a sap, too.
OoOh, Altered States. That’s one I haven’t seen in a while.
Is it just me or does it look like there’s a little man crouching in the far end of this thing?
i don’t see it, but i wish i did!! anyway, this made me laaaaugh.
I see it! hahahaha
I guess if you have never worked a day in your life doing hard labor you wouldn’t know what this is.
It’s for making money, and doing a job that lazy Gen-Y idiots can’t do for themselves (or seemingly can’t even conceive of doing). It might be full of dirt and has some very minor surface rust on it -but it looks serviceable. Ready to make money.
Someone is going to get a good deal on this item for just the effort of picking it up. Just because you don’t know what it is, or understand what its value is for those who get the things done in society for lazy fools like you, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth anything
The next time you are in a nice dry building with a flat roof while it is raining and the rain isn’t dripping in on your zombie cubicle area, it’s because someone used a tool that looked just like this one to make it so (maybe even equipment that looked in worse shape as it is a dirty hard job that makes everything you touch look like it 100 years old even if it was brand new yesterday).
I bet you think that people who do hard manual labor are “ignorant” and stupid rednecks. It seems to me that the real ignoramus is the idiot who posted this without knowing WTF he was talking about…
does refinishing wood floors count as hard labor? if you say no, obviously you’ve never done it 40+ hours per week. i’ve also done construction work. point is – i’ve never seen one of these. 2nd point, this looks like trash, has trash in it, and weeds are growing in and/or through it = trash. final point – chill out and keep your negative thoughts to yourself please. no one is charging you money to read this site.
side note – good one INAD!!
Yes, because obviously if you haven’t tarred your own roof you’ve never done an honest days work. Damn yuppies and their 14 hour factory shifts.
I saw the little man. But I think it’s a little man-ape.
