YSaC, Vol. 566: Lists are for losers!
free stuff or all for 80.00 bucks
hello there
i have lots of free stuff or all for 80.00 bucks
come by and take a look at the stuff and see if you want it but have to share moving and cant take it all with mexxx-xxx-xxxx
EVERYTHING MUST GO NOW
I think I’ll take everything except one thing. That way it’s free, since I didn’t take it all.
tons of ram and processors – $40
ok, well i lived with my grampa for a year before he moved down to florida, he left me all of his computer stuff, so ive got a collection
ive got an organizer thing full of older RAM. processors, etc
ill list what i have
2(512mb) SDR DIMM
a bunch more, too many to list.
processors-about 10 old processors, amd and intel.
call/text xxxxxxxxxx or email me.
Here, let me list them for you. Oh, there’s too many to list. Just contact me and buy it.
Thanks, trekkibek and Dean!
Let me list all my witty responses. Oh, wait, there are too many of them. Just come by and I’ll tell them to you.
That is most excellent ♥
I’ll take all of them but one. Thanks.
I can’t imagine what one item in the free stuff is worth $80. Oh, wait! I’m trying to make sense of this ad! LOL Silly me.
I wonder if that guy is also giving away a red table for that $80. I could really use one of those, especially if it’s free.
Don’t start!!!!
*tisk tisk tisk chuckle*
Free stuff for 80 bucks?
I think this is the new Obama math they are teaching in grade school now days.
😀
I will only take the free stuff for 80 bucks if it includes a pac man stuffed with a really long sock puppet.
But not if there’s only one lounge chair to go with it…because, what’s the point?
agreed
I’m not taking any of it unless there’s a table that was spraypainted by a badger. Since there’s no photograph of this taken outside, I can’t be sure and won’t be chancing my 80 shekels. Not in this economy!
A Dodge truck for only $40!?!?!? Or was “grampa” merely an Aries?
HAHA!
If we’re on this line of interpretation, I will only take Inspector Dim of the Yard
Taco hasn’t had his coffee yet, so his response is coming without any liquid wit; so therefore without any wit at all. So please, enjoy:
I think the second point rather sums up their inability to deal with life in 3 lines. It’s almost Haiku…ian.
ill list what i have
2(512mb) SDR DIMM
a bunch more, too many to list.
Now, with a few changes:
ill list what i have
2 sticks that are 5 – 12 ram
More, but cannot list
There, your morning Haiku… and I didn’t even use the word refrigerator.
I am impressed. Run away with me and we will make little snarky tacos.
“Little Snarky Tacos” is totally a band name.
Or a snack food.
With you as father, I suspect a little snarky taco is what your son will be, TM!
I think my son may have just been given a new nickname.
To be fair, my wife will probably like it better than the one I currently use: “Creepy”.
Or the more formal one: “Tron”.
[/snark mode]
Please tell me you don’t call your son “Creepy”!
Tron is OK.
[snark]
*Whistles innocently*
Seriously though, the kid is fascinated by me (apparently). Everytime I turn around he’s starting at me, but as soon as we make eye contact he turns away and buries his face in his hands. It’s like having my own tiny little stalker.
I can imagine creepy said affectionately. I can also believe your wife is disturbed by that. By the way, if you guys haven’t read the sleep talking man blog you really need to. Real or not it cracks me up and the spray painting badger comment Lola made above reminds me of it. Badgertastic!
Tiny Little Stalker should also be a band
At least he’s easy to get away from, unlike actual stalkers. Just think of him as a really shy fan.
One night only: Early show (before bedtime) at the 40 Watt:
Snarky Little Tacos, with special guest Tiny Little Stalker. $2 off cover charge if you bring your pacifier.
Could be worse, Taco – my Mom has called me “Smartass” since I was little. (My Dad is “Wiseass” and we call her “Potty Mouth” due to her love of … colorful language.)
(My brother-in-law calls me “Scare-a” sometimes. He thinks he’s witty.)
I think if they’re going to perform together, it should be Snarky Little Tacos with special guest Tiny Creepy Stalker. I’m not feeling the little stuff.
Just the big stuff, please.
My dad had the worst nicknames for me and my sister, and I don’t even think he realized it.
He called each of us, “Pooper-Snooper” or “Pooper-Snoops”. Yeah, poop as a “sweet” nickname for either of your daughters is NOT endearing, let me tell you. Where the HELL it came from, I have NO idea.
Oh, btw…it’s good to be back.
Good to see you! I was afraid your French maid avatar was bullying you or something (“she” certainly scared me).
Thanks Meredith, your father officially becomes the gold standard of horrible nicknames that I can use to make any of mine seem endearing.
To date all the nicknames my son has (remember, he’s only 3 months old):
Buddy (Pretty much the standard)
Creepy (Yes I was serious)
Metatron (Tron for short)
Cranky
Krankor
Sour Milk
Stinky (Only after certain *ahem* biological functions)
Little Magic Fingerling?
Oh, see I threaten to sell on e-baby. Hmm. Might have to switch to craigslist now, they are not babies anymore!
Oh! And I call the baby, well, toddler, a bad baby all the time. In a loving voice, of course. So much so that the other day he referred to himself as “Bad Baby.”
Weird. This was posted in response to HHNF’s post about selling her kid on CL. Supposed to be down there toward the bottom…
Wasn’t Krankor a villain in one of the movies riffed by MST3K? I want to say… something Japanese… Space something…
Prince of Space, and yes.
Yeah! Awesome!
Even though I didn’t know the source of Krankor, I like that one. It seems eminently applicable to certain moods.
Indeed. It was the natural progression from the nickname “Cranky.”
For some reason I’m picturing a little baby in a classic supervillian cape shouting, “I am Krankor, Destroyer of Worlds!”
(BTW, he sounds like Charlton Heston.)
“Did he just say crank whore?” Ahhh, I love MST3K…
My two month old also has a number of colorful nicknames (though none as awesome as Tron):
-Stinky McStinkersons
-Cranky McCrankersons
-Pudge
-Flubba Bubba
So, yeah, basically he’s fat, cranky, and stinky. Yeah.
Heather, I’m no pediatrician, but your baby sounds completely normal! 🙂
I am SO glad I am not the only one that uses questionable nicknames!! My 2 year old is “Trouble” so much so that he answers to it, AND has his own song sung by my other two. He is also Biddle, Ornery, Stinky McGee, Biddle Butt and much, much more. Oh, and I tell them I am going to “beat them” all the time, but in our home, beat=tickle. I think they will be confused if they ever meet an abused child. “You were beaten all the time? So? We were too! It’s funny!”
“Biddle Butt” is my new favorite name.
My daughter is Evil Ducky *she has a very ducky voice* Velcro Muchkin, Oily, Bugga Bear, Terrible Beasty, monster, and I always tell her that if she’s bad I’ll sell her on craigslist, but not to worry, no one would want her.
I’m nominating “Velcro Munchkin” as band name of the day.
Nicknames for Kids: (I am not responsible for most of these, Mike is the one generating them) Daughter Alexia was Chicken Lips. She loves that, uses it now and again. Alain, the youngest, was Short Legs, but when he grew almost as tall as me, it changed to Slick. Weed Boy is now common, as in grows like a.
Nicknames for Pets: (see above note) Cat Rani is Fuzzbutticus, QB for Queen Bitch of the Universe, and Ranamuck. Cat Zephyr is Zap, Zefferelli. Cat BC (Basement Cat) hasn’t been around long enough yet for nicknames. Half-Moon conure BB is Beebatroid, Lord Beebatron, and Beebus. Sunny sun conure is Sun Spot, Sunshine, and My Sunny One. I know there are more, for other birds. They will come to me. The bearded dragon, Lunette, is often just Lunie or Lunie-Tunes.
My dad called me Rinky Dink. Try growing up with that! And when he yelled out the door for me he would sing it. “A rinky dink, a rinky dink” (you really have to be old to remember that).
My mother saddled me with “rickets” because I was a tall freakishly thin child with huge noggin. Eventually I outgrew my head. It’s tragic really 🙂
Adding to Windrose’s list, both kids were Stinkweeds for awhile (Windrose even found them t-shirts that said “Stinkweed” and had skunks on them); the budgies are collectively Budgenuggets; cockatiel TJ is occasionally Teejasaurus.
I come by this tendency honestly, though: my dad called me Muck Bucket and his dad called me “Mike Wright the Cigar Store Boy.”
I won’t go into all the nicknames I have for Windrose. 😉
Gesundheit!
What’s an Ill List? Can I access this at WebMd?
80 bucks?? I think the limit is one per season in most states. Shoot, with that it’d take me…ummm…let’s see, carry the four….uh..a really, really, really long time.
Tell ya what, I’ll just take the free stuff and forget having to come up with the 80 bucks. How’s that?
Tons of ram? Damn, and I just threw out my Ram-A-Lama cookbook.
I want a llama cookbook. OH NOES, LLAMA NUN!
Unfortunately, the only recipe I can remember from my Ram-A-Lama cookbook is one for ding-dongs.
how about the Bop Shoo Bop Shoo Bop?
Well, who put the Bop in there, Lara?
Well, at least we now know who’s providing the ram, at a cost of $40 a llama-ding-dong.
Llama ding-dongs are the bellringers at the llama-nun’s convent, right? Ooops, there they go, time for Compline!
If you’re on a budget you could probably substitute an alpaca-ding-dong.
Oh no, I just got the living room gong ringer position, now I can’t ring the llama ding-dongs.
Alpaca ding-dong: the Not.A.Llama* ding-dong.
*Alpaca as Not.a.Llama is courtesy of lareina
I’m not exactly what you could call “computer savvy”, but isn’t 512MB on the low end of crappy?
He did admit that the stuff was older.
What he didn’t admit is that it will cost him $20 to haul the stuff to the dump, so he’d rather sell it for $40.
ah, the never ending quest to get something for your useless crap.
This only works if it’s like new, or still in the box.
I’m surprised he didn’t trot out the old CraigsList favorites, “Rare”, “Vintage”, and “Antique”.
Only because he wasn’t offering any cereal.
I recently bought a “vintage” heating pad off craigslist, but to be fair there are three subtle differences from this post:
1. It was a single item.
2. It was only $6
3. It actually does serve a purpose (even if it is a repurpose).
Yes, but was it listed as a “vintage” heating pad, or did the ad say, “Old cat, doesn’t move much, would make great heating pad! $6.00”?
CJ – I used to have one of those! Wouldn’t have sold it for anything, though!
I like the word upcycled. I do actually upcycle things but I am not one of the people using that term on CL
Lola, I have one now..he is called Bugsy…but he goes by many names – Osama bin Bugsy (for terrorizing other cats, small children, unwanted visitors) and Fat Cat are the two used most often…he’s 23 lbs. of Abyssinian and God-knows-what.
I wouldn’t sell him for $6…$7 maybe, but not $6.
Yeah, this was being sold as a medical heating pad. But right now it’s keeping the soil warm for my pepper seeds as they germinate.
But talk about a blast from the past, it came in a box that was obviously from the 1950s. It was made by Rexall Drug. Now there’s a blast from the past.
EDIT: Taco really needs his coffee is what Taco needs.
pepper seeds eh? sure…..
I love the nickname Osama bin Bugsy, CJ
My sister has a bobtailed Maine Coon mix who weighs about a million pounds and goes by various names; Osama bin Lazy, Bob, Bunny-tail, Sir Lumps-a-lot, Oreo’s Bitch(they have another cat, Oreo, (also a male) who has an ocassional jailhouse romance with him, he usually sleeps through it), but mostly he’s called Bad Kitty.
(For extra corey credit, here is the story of how he got the name Bad Kitty. I asked my then-four year old niece about her family’s new cat. She said the following as a single sentence without looking away from the TV;
“His name is Bad Kitty, Bad Kitty scratched Daddy and Daddy called him Bad Kitty so his name is Bad Kitty can I have a cookie?”)
Should I start a forum about our bad nicknames and where we got them *unless it’s an incriminating story…which is how most nicknames come about*?
Sounds like fun!
Depends how many you have. 2 x 512 MB is 1 GB, which is still potentially useful if you have an older machine.
I married Corey.
So did my wife.
ooooh!!!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Come on guys, don’t you want to see a llama nun kick Mrs. Sexyfingers’ arse? Or would it be Dan kicking TMSF? In what country is this sort of thing legal? I’m so confused.
*Googles bigamy + llama. Shudders.*
This shows a dangerous inclination of veering into Rule 34 territory, which is very disturbing.
Ok, I have officially started pointing things out in stores and saying “Not a Lion” and giggling madly.
Speaking of…I ordered my Not.A.Lion. tee the other day, and now am increasingly nervous about the amount of time I’ll have to spend explaining it….to people who won’t ever get it.
Did I just create a fresh Hell for myself??
I want the coffee cup. It will weird out my coworkers daily.
I’m seriously considering it too, though 1. they are used to me, and 2. at least one of them is weirder, and I mean that in a good way.
If people are cloning me, I’d love royalties, kthx.
I do that too. I can’t go into a store anymore without people looking at me funny.
I’ve always had that problem.
It’s probably the chipmunk costume.
Are you Chip or Dale?
So you’re saying I shouldn’t wear my bunny costume when I go grocery shopping, TM? What if I have a sudden urge to eat carrots and call people “Doc”?
Chip. With the Rescue Ranger attire. Including the sharp hat.
I bet you don’t pay for those carrots either do you!? Carrot Stealer!
Ooh! I’ll be Gadget!!
While the show was my favorite growing up, I ironically never really liked Gadget as a kid. Going back and watching the show now though, she’s become my favorite character.
It might have something to do with me being an engineer now. I’ve actually got the start of a replica of the Ranger Plane on my tinker bench. Just can’t find the time to finish it.
And yes, I am a geek, and yes I still love to watch cartoons.
I use my daughter as an excuse. But she’s usually staring in silent mortification with her friends while I’m singing the Dark Wing Duck theme song.
YES! I love The Terror That Flaps In The Night ♥
When you’re in trouble you
Call D W!

I think a YSaC meme may have been born this day.
Lola, jinx! 8)
I saw that, Windrose! I can’t figure out if I read it and then forgot that (did try to scroll up and check) or if it’s just my Will S. fondness surfacing.
Oh well – great minds, and all that, and a bunch of things, too many to list (what else?).
Genesis 23, as written by Llamanun, founder of YSaCatholicism

I’m just two listless this morning to comment.
What, *someone* had to get that out of the way …
*hands Chthulhu a cup of coffee*
Ahhhhhh …
Can I get a refill, Windrose, or do I have to be married to you?
Because if I can get one, it wouldn’t take me so long to get Chthulu’s pun!
You can have virtually anything you want, Lola! *pours a refill for Lola*
I totally need one too. Can I get a cup, preferably without chirpees?
TM, I think I can manage that today! *pours out last cup*
I seem to remember something about a video game and “hot coffee”…
*ponders*
It’s probably not the same thing.
Well, whatever Lola wants, obviously …
According to the first post I am supposed to see if I want it but have to share it. What if I want it but I don’t have anyone to share it with? Does that mean I am disqualified then? I am really bothered by this.
As Elizabeth Browning says
How do I list thee?
Let me count the ways:
Ah there’s too much stuff to list
just come on over and I’ll show you.
Am I the only one who has this going through their heads?
If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime I can give it
But you better hurry ’cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
Well, not anymore you aren’t!
Sorry ’bout the Earworm.
Personally, I like that song, so don’t mind it moving in. Just hope it doesn’t lay any eggs while in there.
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Well, actually, now that you mention it, there is the small matter that if you want it all, I’m going to charge you $80.
Who’s the fool with the money now?
Just reread the second ad again. I’m getting the feeling that “grampa” packed as much as he could carry on the plane and left to get away from the freeloader. Anyone else? (Happy for the backspace key as I have the bird in my avatar helping me this morning.)
Yancy, beautiful Yancy, River full of fish! Oh, wait. That’s Yangtze. Yancy, come get your card and your first punch. TMSF, you get an honorable punch.
Yay! My first Honorary punch. It’s like a normal punch only… uhh… honorary!
Sorry, I just now finally got my morning coffee.
What do you get for an honorary punch? A hanging chad or something?
I’d perfer one with dimples.
Graham, you’ve made me a genius!
What YSaC really needs is personalized punchcard keychains four sail!!!!
They would be like dog tags, only more awesome.
And… metal?
Of course!
Yeah… good idea, HHNF… let me know how that works out. 🙂
Dang! If only we had $20,000 Chthulhu could get that laser marker and start his own business. And we could make those tags for you! Only, maybe not out of metal.
I have an off-topic dilemma. I knew it would happen some day. *sigh* I can’t remember which of TacoMagic’s comments got in the box from the post on Jan. 19! Was it the one about getting Uncle Craig to start a list to help people unload stuff? Or was it the one about the starving children in China and the uneaten tubs of clothing? I’m thinking the latter. Help?
It was the uneaten tubs of clothing.
Thanks, Graham. Stick around, I am going to finish this today! 8) Hopefully I won’t be confused again.
How can I have forgotten something that was only a few days ago???? In response to the riff raft, christina’s comment made the box, but WHICH ONE???
ERROR –COMMENT NOT FOUND My tracking sheet did not have a Jan 31 entry. Now it’s really f’ed up. 8/
Was there a YDSaC for Jan 31?
http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/?p=3933
Oh! It was the Richard Nixon one.
HHNF and Graham, you two are the greatest! Once I updated that post, I realized there was NO pick from the 31st! SO I have finished updating that forum, and now it’s up to EVERYONE to keep it current. 8)
I made the box? Srsly? I don’t remember being particularly witty.
Pithy, christina. You were pithy. 8) And if you don’t log in every day, you might miss your card punch and everything.
I found your error, Windrose. My comment was on the 31st, the spam-bot, not riff raff. To be fair, Isaac’s reply to me deserves the honors more than I do.
Ah pithy da fool!
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
I do log on everyday, but the YDaC box shows up at the very bottom of the page for me and usually I’m too busy refreshing the page to see what 50 or so comments I missed while reading. It’s a vicious cycle.
Upgrade your browser.
christina, I figured it out too, finally. There was no one in the box from the 31st. But you were there on the 31st for comments on the 30th. I’m sorry you will just have to take your punch and live with it. The Llamanun is the sole judge of our wit and our humor, bees be upon her.
And also upon you.
does he have something that looks like not.a.lion? otherwise, not interested…
One of the things I love about this site is that somebody can say something like “It was the uneaten tubs of clothing” and no one thinks that it was an odd thing to say. In fact, he gets thanked for clearing up some confusion.
That made me LOL. There is certainly a unique community here.
Speaking of which, I’m commenting purely to show off my shiny new gravatar. Does it make me look fat?
You have bacon. You are definitely welcome here.
If this is true, it’s something we all need:

I am opposed to this “sarc mark.” If it gains widespread use, I won’t be able to make bone-headed comments and later claim that it was sarcasm.
*big cheesy moment*
Hey, I’m gonna miss you, you jerk.
*sniff* Don’t make me get all emotional…
I ain’t missin you at all
since you’ve been gone
away
Okay, a Google search provides me with some horribly sappy songs using those lyrics. Try something more… Fleetwood Mac. That’ll get me going.
if you must goooooo
I wish you love
You’ll never walk alooooone
take care, my love
miss you loooove
or we could do
We passed upon the stairs,We spoke of was and whenAlthough I wasn’t thereHe said I was his friend
you can go your own waaay
you can call it another lonely day
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that’s real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
This is getting so cheesy, you’re going to have high cholesterol in a minute.
Now the dusky silhouette shot… the lingering hand-squeeze — turn, mopey egress, look back over the shoulder — yes! and, fade to black.
Cut, that’s a wrap!
::sticking my head out from under my turtle shell to say::
You all really make me smile and giggle…at least once (but usually more) when I read the comments.
You are all this mass of quirkiness, mixed with intellect, mixed with bizarre with some clever and topped with a dash of snark (well, maybe more than a dash).
Thank you for this. It makes my otherwise lackluster existance, slightly less so.
::pulling head back into my shell::
Hi, Irish Fish! Don’t go! At least, not until Lent. Then you might want to hide again. 8)
You’re giving up snark for Lent? Noooooo!!!!!
I agree with windrose. Really, I think we could all use a little more turtle head pokin’ out.
So if I take a few things, it’s free, but if I want all of it, I’ve got to pay? Is there one thing that’s worth $80 and the rest is junk? Or is it a collection that’s worthless in pieces, but worth more if it’s a complete set? And is it okay if I sell the free stuff later? Because some people might just be missing one or two pieces and would pay to complete their set.
But it’s not really worth the hassle is there’s too much to list. Sorry, I don’t do business with idiots.
Ah ha! It’s a 1000 piece puzzle of a $100 bill! (and we are really getting a 20% discount when we buy the whole thing)
