INAD - Time Machine

INAD - Time Machine

It will take you to a grim future, in which you are burdened by rusty, inefficient appliances.

Unless you use it to go back in time, to before your fateful decision (“hey, I could use a beer fridge!”) was made. Good luck, McFly.

MacGyver’s Tool Kit

December 2nd, 2009

Funny-Classifieds-RandomStuff
Found On: Baltimore Craigslist By: Francis B

Real Flavor gas grill briquets
Training wheels
Fish cleaning board
Hanging cast iron owl
Fuel filter: F33144 (bought for an ‘89 Chevy Blazer S-10)

His Mind is the Ultimate Weapon:

Trapped in an old missile silo by his nemesis Murdoc, MacGyver uses these items to fashion a jet pack, and flies to freedom. Asked later by Pete Thornton about how the cast-iron owl was important to the device, he smiles and says “you can’t fly without wings . . . can you?”

Funny-Classifieds-PsychologyLessons
Found On: Honolulu Craigslist By: Katie

Psychology can help you find yourself and take greater control of your life. How? By having a better understanding of the way our thoughts, emotions, environment, relationships and society affect us. If you are interested in receiving free college level learning materials in Psychology just reply to this posting. Self learning and Education are the key to personal growth. I also have a set of learning materials available in E-Commerce, also free…

Are we supposed to take from this picture that some pre-modern war or another could have been avoided if only some battle-mad narcissist had done a little more self-reflection? “Don’t let people die under your command circa 1740, read this psychology book instead.”

INAD - Boat Top

Boat top? Think bigger. Do a little imagineering. I see a nice makeshift tollbooth to put out in the middle of my street. There’s money to be made out there, it may as well be me making it.

Kind Of Wrecked

Funny-Classifieds-Jeep
Found On: Providence Craigslist By: DuckQuack20

kind of wrecked, i dunno build an off road dream machine with it or something.

Fantastic! My “off-road dreams” have always involved: (1) excavating the carcass of a demolished Jeep dating from Revolutionary times, (2) shoveling out the ferns and dirt, and (3) irritating the neighbors by giving the rusted hulk a prominent spot in the front yard.

Suspicious “Homemade” Marshmallows

August 12th, 2009

Funny-Classifieds-MintMarshmellows
Found On: Fayetteville Craigslist By: Jennifer T

If you like marshmallows from the store, this will take your appreciation to the next level. If you think they’re just for cool weather, hot chocolate, and melting on top of casseroles think again. You must be able to pick these up in the Food Lion parking lot on Fisher road. There is no catch, just pick them up and enjoy. Thanks for looking.

Spend even a little time on free classified sections and you’ll see post after post of people trying to give away construction refuse. Just did a quick look on my local free section, and found 38 listings for concrete pieces. Looks like there’s more available “fill” than there is need for it. Supply outstrips demand, and there’s a lot of unwanted, super-heavy garbage sitting around out there, cluttering the yard.

So what’s the answer? Increase demand! Convince people that they need fill to help build a little hill in the backyard. Suggest that throwing some concrete in the pond will provide a nice little habitat for the sunfish.

Or just flat-out lie and tell people you’re giving away marshmallows.

“Yeah, I know they’re heavy, it’s Mom’s recipe. Don’t open the box until you get home.”

So Many Hot Tubs

August 11th, 2009

Funny-Classifieds-SwampMonster
Found On: Honolulu Craigslist By: Anonymous

Aloha. Please take this Jacuzzi….if you want something to hold your fish….or use in a garden for water catchment. You will need a truck…and a few guys.

Hot tubs are awesome. There is no reason in the world to get rid of something as super-desirable as a hot tub. Dammit, I love hot tubs. I love that hot tub. I love this hot tub:

inad-hottub-1

I dig this hot tub:

inad-hottub-2

And even this hot tub:

inad-hottub-3

So why do so many people want to get rid of their hot tubs?

Well, I can think of a couple reasons.

A.  It is broken beyond repair. Owning a hot tub that is broken beyond repair is a lot like having a car on blocks in your back yard. I can see wanting to get rid of that. I suspect the thinking goes like this: “Hey, I have this enormous useless device in the backyard. It’s not as cool as the Edsel we turned into a doghouse, and it’s really impeding my croquet training. Let’s get rid of it.”

B.  The hot tub has been sitting in the back yard for 8-15 years, and after all that indulgence – the wine, the slap-and-tickle, the toe incident with the super-hot neighbor – the idea of going back into it ever again is nauseating. It’s a heated swamp, swimming with memories of your ethical shortcomings – not to mention the bacteria that have made themselves at home and evolved there. I understand: you just . . . can’t . . . even . . . look at it anymore.

So it’s either broken, depressing, septic, or all of the above. You call the hauling company – “$300? Just to take it away? Let me see if I can find some sucker on craigslist to take it.”

The curious part is whether anyone has ever made a serious call to collect one of these. “OK, it doesn’t work, it smells like a sewage treatment plant, and it will take a rented truck and four hired hands to move it? I’ll be right over.”
