Welcome my little friends to the darker side of one of the most useful and spookiest places on the internets! This is HORRORS OF CRAIGSLIST~! Each thread of this tapestry of woe and misery will be woven together before your very eyes. Witness if you dare, the first installment that removes the rose tinted spectacles and reveals true unpleasantness and shocking audacity on the world's largest free classified page. Read on fellows, if you're a bad enough dude.
part iii: Free... GIVE ME a trampoline.. For my goats?
Normally when you find something posted in craigslist's free section (aka the part of the ocean floor just past the continental shelf where everything just kind of slides off into the abyss, but just before the spooky tranny meetup threads) it is someone trying to give something away. For free. That's what its for. The vast majority of the posts follow this seemingly simple formula. The other two things that get placed are panhandlers and SCAM ALERT white knight bullshit. Panhandlers seem to think that by demanding a free washing machine or refrigerator because god bless you and I have 10 kids and they all need new ropas de ninos for school and whatever sob story you should make getting free shit on craigslist easier for them and I guess they're entitled because they almost spelled everything right in their ad. Nice try Bruce, but free shit is earned through luck and skill. It doesn't just fall in your lap.
All rants aside though, this beggar has got to be the most awesome one I've ever seen. He wants a trampoline for his goats to gambol on! Gamboling is goats doing goat stuff. Ya know, like frolicking. This guy is some kind of saint. He has so much going for him. When have you ever used the phrase "my goat herd" in a sentence? Let alone this awesome sentence:
And this guy took the time out of his busy schedule to include names and pictures of all of his rad goats (that he employs on his sexy animal farm):
Lotus, Gorgeous, Blake, Zen, Christina, Lucy and Moose (The bad boy)
