Weird thigs you find on Craigslist

A live lobster fishing arcade game type machine:

I guess you can find things on Craigslist, too :rolleyes:

I often search for thigs on eBay.
Minor spelling mistakes on items I want. I've occasionally been lucky.

No live lobster games though.
Bloody hell.

Weirdness. It's not just for the Japanese.

Yep, that's weird.

I was looking for a reptile tank

Are ya gonna start a snake farm?

I found my motorcycle, sofa set, and washer & dryer on there.

are they weird?

Um... My bike was weirdly inexpensive and perfect for me... My couch is weirdly comfortable.... If you lie down on it, you will sleep. Every time. My washer is completely normal and business like.... My dryer came with only one heat setting.... Molten.... But has since been rebuilt by the service contract I took on it.....

So, no. Not really. I guess I didn't follow the true spirit of the thread. Just yammering on about stuff im sure I already shared.

I'm annoyed with myself over this now.

I'm sorry, I was hoping for weird, didn't mean to bring you down. I found a job on Craigslist. a real one that paid real money and wasn't in the sex industry.

No no... Not brought down... Just copping to being self centered there. It annoys me when people do it, so it should doubly annoy me when I catch myself at it.

You were right... These things belong in a different thread. It probably exists.... Probably one of those "what"threads. What cool thing did you buy on Craigs list today.... Or something of that nature.

I miss my motorcycle. Fuq this winter Wonderland buuullllsheeit. I'm sick of sub 30° cold. And fat guys love cold weather...

I just found a job as a Sewer. sounds shitty

Sounds like a job for the Shit Men!

Is the advertiser illiterate, or is that the masculine form of seamstress.... Since they will be sewing tonneau covers and macho things like that....

We play this in my band. :)

Found my bike on CL too...and lots of other things. Have also sold a bunch of excess music gear there. Not sure how weird any of it is. Got a great deal on my bike.

I googled it and I found this.



If you know what a weave is I found one of those too.

Hi cole 1 post featuring 2 weirdos.
good start
you're going to fit in well here :thumb2:

Actually, I think a bar/restaurant nearby that we went to a few years back had one of these. It was pretty expensive to play and I had no idea what the odds of winning were.

At least I know how the toy crane games are rigged.

It would be cool to have for a BBQ.

"OK, it's going to be hot dogs and hamburgers unless you can win yourself a lobster".

:redcard: hmmm. I call foul it's not hard to find weird stuff if you go looking for it....... :lol:

I was looking for a lizard tank and a job. like you do. Were you after woven duck tape items? ;)

large jar of out-of-date mayonnaise. maybe three years out of date.

https://annarbor.craigslist.org/zip/4524904653.html

ok weird but as a waste-not-want-not kind of person, I can see it might be worth a try for a hoarder attempting to reform....


But this bit: "could be useful if you use mayonnaise as hair conditioner" is just beyond weird. Mayonnaise trashes hair. Great for killing its, but trashes hair.

but I googled it and lo and behold it's seen as a legit treatment for moisturizing hair. really? Oh well.........

Wasn't looking for it, but, there it was:

My Weird-o-Meter? Yeah, it just pegged.:3_eyes:

Well, eighty bucks is eighty bucks...Think I could pass for thirty?

Wall hanging

Zombie hunters dream.

This is zombie hunters battle ax is 43 inches long. It's made from heavy-duty chain and a real sledgehammer welded with gear on one and saw blade on the other.

This will surely impress all your friends hanging in the man cave.

It is welded from top to bottom on both sides of each link very rigid wrapped in leather at the handle and the leather is secured with copper wrap.

This will be the envy of all your friends and associates here for all the zombies. LOL

That looks like it might get wedged in zombie skull - way too much going on, man.

the edge is for dis-entangling limbs, for skulls, you used the gear face.

I still don't like it. Even using the gear face. Not to mention that handle will get real slick with gore, real fast.

Does the blade rotate so you can use it as a pizza cutter?

It's too long to be one handed. And the saw blade would get caught on the skull, making a freeing it quickly for a second blow problematic.

Now, if the saw blade were motorised for fast head-slicing.....

I believe that you may be onto something.

You want finer teeth though so it doesn't get jerked outta your hands. Big teeth for maximum gore small teeth for handling... its quite a conundrum.

Have sex with me after I'm blackout drunk? Um, nope. :headshake

Ha!

continuing the ew factor... free shower curtain

How do you clean a shower curtain? For real?

I kind of use a sponge and some spray cleanser and try to hold it up against a side wall of the shower so I can press down and scrub while the wall supports it, but there has to be a better way. You can't put any pressure on the thing because it's a freaking curtain. It's waterproof, so if you stick it in a washing machine and it folds over on itself, the inside part doesn't even get touched.

Does anyone have any tips?

Spray clorox clean up on it. Wait half an hour, rinse.

Or buy new liners every 3 months.

it's not like it just needs a little cleaning. The cleaning products required (if it were possible) alone would cost more than a new curtain, never mind the labor.... and might be more damaging to the environment than just tossing the curtain.......

Some days I'm ashamed of my hoarding/overly-recycling tendencies ...and some days I realize I'm not that bad :D

I never scrub, I just spray it with bleach and let it sit for a while before rinsing. When that stops working, I throw the liner away and replace it every few years. The outer curtain is cloth and it goes through the washing machine just fine.

I find the soap scum doesn’t come off with bleach, although bleach is great at getting rid of the funky mold/mildew. Maybe our water is too hard or something. I’ll have to try that Clorox stuff.

Dry the fucking thing and don't let the funk grow.

Or toss it and get a door.

No way! You can buy a new liner for like $10. You're stuck with a door forever.

My doors don't funk up.

They are 51+ yrs old. Came with the house, actually.

So when you suggest drying the thing, how do you do that? With your bath towel after each shower? Drying probably takes a lot less force than scrubbing, so I guess it's doable. Seems like a lot of work. I'm looking for less work.

When I lived in a nice townhouse, before we bought this old place, I had a shower with doors. I liked them but they got really nasty. I'm pretty sure that was hard water deposits. Although I was young then and probably didn't clean as much as I should have.

I know it's going to kill me somehow, but I love Clean Shower spray

Cannot ship to California

That means it's cancer in a spray bottle.

[size=1]It's probably not cancer in a spray bottle.

Probably.[/size]

I'm surprised there is anything in california at all. When I went there for vacation last year, my rental car was brand new and the entire drivers window was covered with a huge sticker about it containing chemical know to the state of California to cause cancer

CA 3 & 4 star hotels with a brass plaque by the front door with that same warning. :rolleyes:

I wonder if they know it makes the state come across as even less fun than Utah

consider changing soaps. I use Dr Bronners liquid castille soap. i don't get soap scum, just mildew from the folds. New place has a glass door shower, and the cunts didn't clean it ever. not even when they moved out. Still had a cake of soap on the top ledge. cunts. black hair cunts. I had one go with Lime away on the doors, but it's gonna take tougher stuff to get through it. Then I'll get a squeegie and dry it after each shower(yeah right)

Get a nylon pot scraper and just scrape it off. Fast and easy on soap scum. An old credit card might work too. Much faster than cleanser and a sponge.

Oh wait. You're talking about water deposits.

Maybe a hammer and a trip to a glass place.

I have a headlight cleaning bit for my drill and some polish. I thought about trying that.

I wonder if a handheld steam cleaner would help? They aren't very expensive.

Takes ten seconds. Not an end-all, but it makes a difference.

This is by far the best answer.

But y have to add a few more dollars and buy a washable fabric shower curtain.

not if you want the type with magnets to make them adhere to the tub :eek:

For a shower over a bath tub? you'd have to never want to use it as a tub

How would a door stop you from taking a bath?

it would be claustrophobic and too steamy and in the fucking way

It works if both slide then you open the shallow end where you sit.

I did get a squeegie, and I actually have been using it. takes more like 30 seconds, but then , I usually drip dry a bit before I get out anyway. I do the doors and the walls.

yep, they're still talking about nasty shower curtains
