An 'A' is an 'A' is an 'A'....do you suppose the CL lister meant 'apothecary' cabinet? I can't say i've heard of the type of cabinet they're advertising, but what do I know? ;o)

You are keeping me amused today. I'm thinking that I need to redecorate my den with an arm wall beside a sofa/couch/chaise/lounge (love those all-in-one, multi-use furniture pieces). Perhaps I can warm my guests with herbs that I had stored in my alchemy cabinet since we are having inclimate weather right now (snow in summer?).

Your guests will surely be impressed to be warmed in such high quality silver!
Have you seen the You Suck at Craigslist blog?

This is so funny.

The seller of the MJ set forgot to add that the set would be perfect when your guests get the munchies.

Sorry, I had to go there.

What in the world was that poster smoking when she wrote THAT AD??? Oh yeah, I know!!!!!!!

Well first of all she has to be smoking to think that pattern resembles Marijuana leaves. lol way too funny. Thanks for all the laughs here!

Oh, terriks, thank you for that link. Reading it, I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe. The reader comments are as funny as the ads. I think that blog will become my new source of snark.

Math must not be their strong suit. The TWO fainting sofas are $750 but if they split them up they will sell for $350 each. Hmmmmm....

" The pattern looks like a marijuana leaf pattern."

I needed a "don't-spit-your-coffee" alert on that one!

LOL

Funny ads! Terriks, thanks for the link. I had to "like" it on FB! I sent them the MJ ad. We'll see if it makes the cut!

Attn all "real" artists, this is something you dont want to miss????

Here is a link that might be useful: no paint brush required

this isnt really such a strange ad, but makes you wonder if this person had some kind of weird "collection fettish" going on...that's a lot of deers...what would someone do with all of them?

Here is a link that might be useful: oh deer

Rjinga, I admit I missed the seller's point about the pergola. Why would you have to be an artist to appreciate it? And how would you transport a 10'x10' structure?

As for the deer, who knows? They are too big to fit into a model train or village display.

How about the world's largest filing cabinet? You may need something bigger than your standard mini-van/ pickup to bring it home in...and a bigger home for that matter!

I remember one long gone craigslist AD describing an actually very nice library wall bookcase with "dental molding". Fetching ;)

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!

Maybe this is a Southern thing, but I've seen this CL mistake so many times I started to second-guess myself. In fact, I don't believe I have ever seen it posted correctly as "chiffarobe". I once even saw Shiftarow. It's as annoying as draw and chester, but I blame it on the Southern accent!

Here is another!

"rawd iron table(or however that is spelled)"

This seller is a teacher! Her email address was for a school in our area. I emailed her about the mirror and got the following in return.

" I live in xxxxxx if you know where that's at. "

If you really want to get rid of something, it's probably not the best idea to tell people it was only used for a party and was once wet. There is such a thing as too much honesty.

rjinga - I could not for the life of me figure out where you were going with that link title. I read through the entire post twice. lol Then, I saw it! I totally missed the "pain" in the description title.

Good thing he didn't say the table top could be used for purposes other than eating. YIKES!

daisychain01 - That's not a bad idea to take a free couch if you need extra seating for a party. :) Although, I wouldn't want my guest sitting in a puddle.

Well thank goodness it comes with the pillows, but never mind that it's been chewed on...

Do they really thing someone will go through the trouble to actually move it and pay money for it?

Here is a link that might be useful: It comes with

Hey, that's a great deal for $40! Excellent dorm sofa. If someone wanted the couch for a den, the puppy chewed skirt could be switched with a skirt off the back.

Either the "rawd" teacher is a member of this board, or someone answered her add with a correction. Wasn't me!

How do you guys like this cute little ladies slipper chair I bought? It will look adorable (I think) in front of my dressing table or just in the bedroom for looks. I love the fabric but it needs cleaning so I am recovering. I payed fifty bucks for it.

....Jane

{{!gwi}}

NDawn If the fabric doesn't require redoing, which so many of these neat little chairs seem to always require, then that's a keeper. And even though it's hard to see the color of the fabric etc. I think it's got a really cute girly feel to it. I like it.

Thanks rjinga, the fabric on the chair is an old timey gold colored damask. That I wish I didn't have to recover, but I do.

This doesn't make me HMMM but it does make me go HUH???

This sounds painful too.

Here is a link that might be useful: Leather cough

maximavswife/kath, what am I missing with that ad?? Both the title and the body appear to be OK to me.

The leather cough! A worn-out sofa that was all the rage in 1970. Just what I want to buy and recover - not!

well ladies, this is one for the hall of fame/shame?

and that leather cough, well dont you really want to create a phoney email address and send a note to that person saying, you were not only ripped off but stupid to have paid much of anything for that heap of cow hide, and anyone in their right mind wouldn't pay YOU to take it off your hands....It bugs me so bad when they post they paid XXX for something, people that whether that was 3, 5, 8 or 20 years ago, it aint worth squat now...so get over it already.

Finding folly on Craigslist is like shooting fish in a barrel- and more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

A link below is to the site, You Suck at Craigslist, that chronicles the fun. The posting, dubbed "not a lion" is iconic. Notice that you can buy a "not a lion" t-shirt.

There's a "shabby sheek" entertainment center up on the D.C. board-- "eek!"

Thanks for that link kitch_n_kat!! Now my day is shot. :)

*boys genitally used shoes for sale*

They have some great ones there.

Rjinga, ads for nude housework or cleaning are very common on CL. This guy just put it in the wrong category. They should be listed under *Adult Gigs*.

If something is miscatorgorized you can flag it to have it removed from the listing where it is inappropriate. Adult stuff should only be listed in the Adult section.

dilly dally, now we really know where you spend your time...see I never knew naked cleaning ads even existed on CL...(wait a sec, my halo is slipping, must fix it, ok there)...so where were we? oh ya, dilly, dallying on the adult gig sections of CL...lol, sry couldn't resist that one ;)

I didn't save it but I HAD to open one recently.... to see how zen the Ohmwar was... not too zen. it was about the same as the ormwars or armwalls or armories that are usually listed.

We do have an occasional shabby sheik here, but I think they must be fairly transient as they are few and far between.

and of course I did like the french preventional dining room furniture the husband posted for his wife.

"dilly dally, now we really know where you spend your time."

Uh, no............................ I just make it a point to keep myself well informed about the whole world, in general.

I do not "spend all my time there". But you can all think that if you wish. Doesn't bother me a bit. Carry on.

If anyone cleaned my house in the nude I think I'd need to... well, clean my house after they left, ewwwww.

The "leather cough" ad indicates the picture was taken at a place of business, and it looks like a NASTY place of business like a crack den, except there are toys in the picture, which makes it more disturbing.

How about this one.........

Here is a link that might be useful: craigslist ad- eeewww !!!!!!!!

Huh?!

Ha! Love it homebody! Someone posted that after their impulse control meds. had worn off....and does read more like an invitation.

If hubby would go with me to pick it up (for sure!), I'd paint it....

Suero, TOO funny!!

RE: those particular Disney characters
I went to Disney World with my nephews, who were about 4 & 6 at the time. We asked the 4 yo what was his favorite part and he said having his picture taken with ship.
What ship?
He replied in a how could you be so stupid way: Ship, Dale's brother

Still makes me snicker and he's 24 now.

Sorry, no CL stories to share.

Kitch n kat I wonder if one of the Gabor sisters placed that ad. Hello Zsa Zsa, this is Ava darlink.

Nice imagination you got there, Newdawn! That photo IS right off the set of the Lifetime movie about their lives.

...and that would be a long distance phone call for Ava, RIP....hope she has her Penthouse view she adores so much. : )

I saw this one on Boston's today and had to share...

"Queen Ethan Allen bedroom set consisting of bed frame, two night tables, bureau, and langera chest for sale for $2000"

I had to look at the picture to determine what a "langera chest" is. A brand? And exotic wood? Nooooooo....it's a lingerie chest!
