Found by: Dana on Reno Craigslist

Heavy cardboard tube, around 5′ long. Goes in trash this week if not taken. Please email with day and time you can pick up and I will respond accordingly. Unfortunately, I cannot hold items. Thanks for looking.

I know, you’re thinking “really? Someone took the time to photograph this, load the picture to their computer, and post it? It’s a cardboard tube.” Well, I for one, am delighted they did.

My 7-year-old brother and I have been having swordfights with the same cardboard tubes since Christmas. You know, the ones from gift wrapping paper. So by now, they’re pretty spent – we’re basically just hitting each other with paper noodles. I think I need to re-arm, and I think this is just the tube to do it. I know Mom’s going to tell me she isn’t going to get in the car and drive to Reno just to pick up a piece of cardboard, but I can be pretty insistent.

My brother’s gonna be bummed when he sees me walk into the backyard with this:

“No fair! Mooom!!”

“Mom can’t help you now, Timmy.”
