A month or two ago, or maybe three or four, I did a post called “The Mysteries of Craigslist’s “Free Stuff” Category.” Recently, I’ve had some people asking for a sequel. Though I promised one of these people in particular a new entry several weeks ago, I just remembered that promise. Cut me some slack. Here you go.

If only you lived in the grand city of Pittsburgh, PA, these free items could be yours. They may be horrible and they may not make any sense, but that’s the beauty of craigslist.

9 Fellows plastic folders sized to hold two 5 1/4″ floppy disks
Clearly these folders are so old that they were made when 5 1/4″ floppy disks were popular. This means they are complete trash.

I have a bag of about 13 empty pill bottles, the orange kind that you get at the pharmacy. Most of the labels are already taken off. They are the shorter small and medium ones, no tall ones.
Are there any legitimate reasons someone would want these?

FREE – THREE SHELF PLASIC BLACK DESK ORGANIZER…HAS BEEN USED, BUT, HOPING THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN MAKE USE OUT OF IT…
The best part of this ad is that it’s been posted 3 times in the past two weeks. Someone is hanging onto this $4 plastic desk organizer with a lot of hope instead of throwing it out.

I have a coupon for Merrick Dry Dog food that I cannot use. Would like to donate this to someone who really needs dry dog food, although it would be good if the dog is already used to this food. Thanks.
Really? A coupon? I have a whole newspaper worth of coupons every Sunday. It goes straight in the trash can. If anyone wants to root through the dumpster outside my building for them, there’s about $100 worth of savings every Sunday. Would like to donate this to someone who really enjoys digging through trash, although it would be good if they already smelled like old onions.

TWO TARGET SIZE BAGS OF ADULT DIAPERS THAT ARE OPENED (THEY HAVE THE SIDE TAPES NOT PULLUPS)
Target size bags? What the hell does that mean? And why are they opened? Did you stop shitting yourself?

FOR THOSE POKEMON LOVERS…MY SON NO LONGER WANTS HIS BOOK…HE IS GIVING AWAY A POKEMON SINNOH HANDBOOK….
IT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION – NO RIPS, TEARS, OR WRITINGS…HE JUST WANTS SOMEONE ELSE TO USE IT LIKE HE DID…JUST DOESN’T HAVE AN INTEREST IN POKEMON ANYMORE.
All caps. This book must be serious. Too bad nobody has an interest in Pokemon anymore.

And from that same person…
FREE BLUE JUMBO SEAT IN GREAT CONDITION – MY BABIES ARE TOO BIG FOR IT NOW…PLEASE EMAIL FOR TIME/DAY FOR PICKUP.
I don’t care if it’s free and times are tough. You can guarantee babies pooped on that thing.

Sofa carpet lamp mirror – now gone. it was easiest to call people who sent their phone number
What’s a sofa carpet lamp mirror?

VHS of Vampire in Brooklyn starring Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett. Porch pick up.
Imagine the sight of someone picking up a VHS tape of Vampire in Brooklyn off of someone’s porch. That’s amazing.

I HAVE ONE OPEN BOX OF BABY OATMEAL, MY SON DOES NOT LIKE IT, AND IF SOMEONE NEEDS IT I WOULD HATE TO THROW IT AWAY, IT IS GERBER AND IS A LARGE BOX, PLEASE PICK UP IF YOU NEED, LOOKING TO HELP THOSE NOT ON FOOD STAMPS OR WIC!!
So you only want to donate it to people who can afford to buy their own oatmeal…?

silky twin bed sheets – silky smooth only one pillow case
I can think of little that I would want less than someone’s used bed sheets. Especially twin size.

free gold formal dress size 5/6 minor wear
Nothing is classier than a formal dress being modeled over a giant red flannel something.

over 30 different glasses whiskey/wine/shot/ i didnt wash
I’m too busy being an alcoholic to clean the damn things.

There you have it folks. Happy new year. If you picked up those whiskey glasses for your holiday party, be safe.

A lot of people spend a small fortune on a huge HD television, intense surround sound and the best Blu-Ray players. If you’re one of those people with a totally epic home theater system, chances are you have enough extra dollars to invest in the one thing you may be missing that would make your home theater truly complete… Home Theater Seating. It often goes overlooked, but is the final ingredient to creating a true home theater.

And that’s what I have to say about that.

I was recently sorting through some old stuff from high school. Sometime around junior or senior year, it seems I was assigned the task of writing a journal. It appears that every day we were given a subject and a certain amount of time, told to write continually about the subject until time ran out. On most days, you can glean what the subject was meant to be based on my response. Many interesting compositions were formed. This is their story:

(Written on the inside cover)
Fat Farmers with Guns proudly presents…
The Sick Book of Rice
(The menopausal chronicles of Wendy Saffron and her impotent one-legged rhinoceros)

It got approved, for God’s sake, so shut up, you fairy!

The advantages of living with friends are easy to think of. Fun, quality time, always having someone to taslk to… It would be fun to have that kind of entertainment. On the other hand, it’s a lot less privacy, and you just may get tired of them.

I like rice, do you? I just thought I’d ask, since I can’t stop writing and all. Spicy yellow rice is very delicious.

Page 2
I don’t have too many rules at home. At school, all the rules are cool, I don’t care. They are what they are. Enough said. That’s all I think about that. So, instead, I’m going to finish my earlier writing about yellow rice.

Mahatma Saffron yellow spicy rice is by far the premium. Unfortunately, its godlike existence can only be found at Wal-Mart. It costs 57 cents per package. This yellow tube of goodness will warm your heart and soul. It is very spicy, though. Regular flavor is bad. Spicy is prime.

Mahatma. The best 57 cents in life.

My parents don’t make me do anything because that’s stupid. Occasionally, I’ll have to go to some family dinner or something I don’t want to be a part of, but that’s nothing big. So… Jim!

So not only had I already started painting, but Joey comes over and calls me fat! I was like sooo mad. Duck.

Last night I had some of that wonderful rice I’ve been talking so fondly about. Unfortunately, I burned it. I was on the phone while cooking it and though I didn’t forget about it, I just wasn’t paying much attention. I still ate it and it wasn’t bad, but it was a bit firm. A lot of it got stuck to the bottom of the pot. Usually I would be upset over that because I’d have to clean it, but I was on my way to work so I just left it for my dear sweet mother to clean. She loves it. Scraping baked rice off the bottom of a pot is an extraordinary pastime.

Being successful, to me, means eating three packets of Mahatma Saffron spicy yellow rice every day. Nothing could warm you up like a hearty bowl of Mahatma. Sure, if you ate 3 packs a day you’d become really fat, but hey, it’s tasty! Don’t burn it though. That’s gross.

If school uniforms were made out of Mahatma yellow spicy rice, it would be a fantastic idea to have them. They would be a ravishing color, have a delicious flavor and a comforting texture. We could follow Bart Simpson and eat our shorts if we got hungry. Only Mahatma clothes would be acceptable, though. Also, the whole head-to-toe outfit would cost like five bucks. That’s the shizzle, Roger!

Left foot problems? No worries! Just buy a jar of amniotic fluid and pour it all over your foot. Presto, c’est magnifique!

The biggest problem in the world today is that not everyone has some Mahatma yellow spicy rice. If we could provide everyone with a warm, savory bowl of that euphoric goodness, I’m sure all hatred would end. Back during the Berlin Airlift, they dropped boxes of it to show the goodness of humanity. Winston Churchill and all world leaders would eat it during their WWII meetings. Adolf Hitler didn’t kill himself because the German empire was being crushed, but because he ran out of Mahatma. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor because we wouldn’t share our rice.

Jose!

I would spend a million dollars on buying every package of Mahatma Rice that exists in the world. Man, I’d be swimming in saffron flavor. It’d be so nice to be all cozy in beds of Mahatma with sheets of Mahatma and dreams of Mahatma Gandhi eating Mahatma rice. Either that, or I’d buy a McLaren F1. Especially if they made it out of rice.

Cats are sharp.

Three minutes! I have to write for THREE rustic minutes?! If I only had three packages of Mahatma rice, I’d be up shit creek! Conversely, if I had to pour iced tea on people’s bobblehead Jay Z dolls for a living, I’d be all set. Oh, by the way, 20 years from now, I’ll have cancer of the rice. My Mahatma body will be sad.

I would eat dinner with Mahatma Gandhi. Why? His first name is the same as spicy yellow rice. What more reason do I need? I hear he was an alright guy, too.

Or maybe I’d eat with Danny DeVito because he is a great man. That and I’d like to make fun of him because he’s small and short. Bleed.

Jaleel White is also a possibility. I could ask him why he ruined his life by being Steve Urkle. Never will he be regarded as anyone else. He really put the ruler up his own bum with that one. Oh well. 5 Goats.

Well, there is one advantage to being male – you can be called “Gay” if you are gay. If you are a girl, you can be called “Lesbian.” Guys don’t have to deal with monthly blood. Girls can eat more spicy yellow Mahatma rice. Guys can appreciate the sound of a mandolin more. Girls smell better. Girls don’t have to poop. Guys can pee outside.

Look at the rhymes, comin at ya from behind! Trip!

So many times I have considered myself black. I think it’s because I’m so fat, so fat, so fat.

My dad is a man. Your dad is fat. Last week I ate an old graham cracker. It was soft. Tasted like Bob Dole’s mom.

The cafeteria would sell only Mahatma spicy yellow rice. That would make me incredibly happy. I would also carpet all the rooms and the halls and line the floors in peppermint patties. I would also have pictures of the Muppets all over the place. They are cute, like bleeding gophers.

I’m white. I don’t know if anyone told you, but the facts are out. Fall asleep. Now. Do it. Shut up.

I think as soon as they can cook their own Mahatma rice, people should be considered adults. This should average out to around 7 years old. You ghost. Oh, you ghostly ghost.

Mahatma rice is darn good. I went to WalMart to buy some last week, but they were out. I was mad. I pooped my pants a little.

Carlos was a baker. A naked baker. His store was called the Nakey Bakey. He sold baked goods that contained various innuendos. Now, this pornographic baker went out of business because he bled on a fire hydrant, his mom thought he was gay, and he was stoned by Hatians with purple mullet wigs. Connor buried him in Poncho Villa’s back yard. Nakey Bakey’s memory will live on because Connor has his name and nutbag tattooed on his bum.

Furthermore, sandpaper is a horrible alternative to cheese on hamburgers. It’s just awful.

Unlike stripping yourself naked and wrestling in a 600 gallon bowl of Mahatma spicy yellow rice. That’d be real neat, feet.

I would want to make a field trip to the Mahatma rice factory. It would be educational to see the creation of a superb rice product that is so phat.

“Left arm,” said the onion.
“Bow tie,” said the carrot.
“Scramble tiiiiiiiime!” exclaimed the eggs.
…and hence they scrambled.

So like I said, let’s do that rice field trip thing. It’d be rad. We could find out the top secret Mahatma secret ingredients.

Oh God, that’d be euphoric. Gary, get my inhaler, I’m goin in!

*considers the profession*

Sometimes, cable companies do things that piss everyone off. Whether it’s the frequent rate raises, intermittent service or dealing with horrible customer support (hello, Comcast), most people consider alternatives to cable TV at one time or another. Whether you think about getting rid of TV service altogether and relying on Internet streaming sites like Hulu (which Comcast now owns a majority share of) or look into dish network promotions, there are a few other options.

Dish Network is one of the leading satellite providers. Of all the feedback I’ve received from people who use Dish, nobody’s really complained. At least not the way people do about Comcast. The service is often lower-priced, HD Packages are only a few dollars more and it gives a good picture. Promotions change all the time, though, so it’s important to keep up with them on sites like the sponsored one linked above.

Plus, right now they’re offering 3 free months of HBO and Showtime, which is plenty of time to watch and decide how addicted to True Blood and Dexter you’re going to get. And you will.

I still use Comcast, but only because I’m a victim of habit. In no way would I ever recommend their TV service. Their internet, however, has been fantastic for me.

Oh wait, that’s Jabberwocky, not JabberMonkey. Bah!

JabberMonkey is a new “Social Expression site that promotes self expression, public opinion and communication has officially launched its Beta Program.” As with any new-to-launch thing, they’re looking for people to do beta testing before the official launch of the service. If you’d like to be involved, you can. Simply visit JabberMonkey.com and sign up to be a tester. Not only will you help them out, but you can enter contests for Flip Video Cameras, Starbucks Cards, and Prize Money for largest groups as well.

To be honest, I’m fairly tired of social networking sites – at least the ones that are only duplicates of the bigger, more important sites that already exist. However, this one looks unique. If you go to the site, you’ll see why. It’s not like any social networking site you’ve seen before and has an interesting platform. Perhaps getting in as a beta user will be fun. Don’t say I never gave you anything.

I’ve received a lot of positive feedback about my tips on completing Left 4 Dead 2 Achievements. Since I just acquired Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Dragon Age: Origins yesterday, I figured I’d do one better and toss up lists for them as well. I’ve already finished the Modern Warfare 2 campaign and a number of the Spec Ops missions, so just with the other list, I’ll update tactics as I unlock them. And you, of course, can feel free to contribute.

Here’s a sponsored post from online casino scandinavia – a product review of their site:

The blog at Casinos Scandinavia is a ratings guide to the best online casino, poker rooms and gaming sites available on the web. Each online gambling site is reviewed in first-person by someone who appears to be genuinely interested in informing you about the quality of the site. With the amount of BS out there on the internet, this seems like a good thing.

There is also a lot of commentary and info about gambling conventions, how online gaming sites function, legal issues and other tech-related stories. And if you’re big into playing poker or blackjack online, many of the sites that are reviewed have bonus offers that could thrill you for a while. You might not like to admit it, but I know you online poker addicts are out there. I know of a few myself. And no, I’m not one. I have no idea how to play poker, or just about any other card game for that matter.

Anyway, if you’re into online gambling, perhaps give this site a look. You will likely find some value in it.

Hey, it’s nearly Christmas again. For me, it feels like we just celebrated this day. Being that I proposed to my now-wife last year on December 23rd, it’s been a super quick orbit that has returned us to Christmas once again. But that doesn’t change the fact we’re here again, and it’s time to start buying presents.

What do the people on your list want? I’ve got some articles coming out in the next few weeks on Test Freaks to help you figure that out. For now, I’ll give you one suggestion that always goes over well – particularly for men. A nice watch.

Whether your fella can be satisfied with a sporty Fossil or a fancy pants seiko diamond watch, they make pretty solid presents. It’s one of the few pieces of jewelry we met get to wear without looking obnoxious, you know. A few years back my wife gave me a watch for Christmas, and while I’ll admit I wear it rarely, I save it for special occasions. It looks much like this one:
