Free Shit On Craigslist

I am almost 100% positive that there are a million-and-a-half other blogs that people have written about the funny things that they have found on Craigslist. Well, consider this blog number 1,000,001 1/2. I am going to try to scour Craisglist once a week or so, and see what awesomeness I can find in the "free" section...ONLY the "free" section. Rather than search through every posting in America and picking out the "good stuff", I am going to limit my searches to the 3 areas that I have lived in: Hampton Roads, VA; Space Coast, FL; and Columbus, OH. Also, I am going to choose postings that have photos. After all, none of this will make any sense unless I have a picture of the awesome free thing that is being given away, right? Right.

Each time I post, I will showcase a different area, just to keep things nice and fresh.

Here are the "free" findings on the Hampton Roads, VA Craigslist:

*Two Balls of Yarn*

I am not sure if the pink yarn really qualifies as a "ball" of yarn. Regardless, this offer is almost too good to pass up. I wonder if they would be willing to split up the pair. I really only have the need for one yarn ball.


*The Things That Cowboys/Bikers Wear On Their Boots*

I know that "cowboys" wear spurs on their boots. This is not a spur. I honestly don't know what bikers wear on their boots, as I am not a biker, nor do I know any bikers. If I had to guess, I would think that this is something that you would buy at an adult store, perhaps if you're into kinky torture, which I am not.


*Sailor Sculptor Made of Spackle*

First off, YES...I know that this is a "sculpture", and not "sculptor", as in "one who sculpts". But, that is how this was listed. Secondly, I am not sure if there are any words that could be said about this one. I think the picture itself is good enough. I only wish that this one were still available. It would look great on a shelf in the Man Room.


*Home Made Umbrella Stand*

I peed a little when I first saw this one. Really...I did. I was truly expecting some woodshop reject or medieval torture rack or something...something that was NOT this. This is definitely "homemade". It looks as though the base of it could double as a cigarette butt can. A two-fer? SWEET! There was also a note on the listing that says you could paint the bucket and it would look better. Yep, that will do it.

Wow...I thought that this posting would a little longer. Apparently, Hampton Roads just isn't that funny. I mean, of course there were a lot of listings for "free wood" (tee hee hee) and "lawn rocks" (which is just busted up concrete). And even one for "free bibles". But, this is the best of the bunch. Oh well. Not bad for the first installment. We'll see what next week holds for free awesomeness.
