I have several saved searches on CraigsList in my RSS feed that help me land supples and feedstocks for my BioDiesel home brewing. While I sit lazily on my butt, these little technological tidbits ceaselessly scour the “free” section of the Seattle area listings and report their findings back to me. They search for terms such as: Oil, Gallon, Diesel, BioDiesel, and Barrel. The latter is leftover from when I was still building my setup, but I keep it because it provides me with some entertainment and confidence boosting. I see at least 3 posts a month with somebody giving away a “Wheel Barrel”… and for some reason that makes me feel elevated to the “smarter than the average bear” crowd as I would never butcher the language thusly. Besides, my maternal ancestors in Ireland would have never learned to walk upright if it weren’t for the English invention of the wheelbarrow.
Today I opened up my RSS feed to see this headline, which gave a good chuckle for some reason. So while perhaps I am smarter than the average bear, I can still find humor in (very) low places.
Here’s a great list from our local craig’s list:

A couple, from my past:
-For sale ad, in the Denver Post: “1967 Common Ghia.”
-Another car ad, where the car adverted had very little “body puddy.”
-And the only other I can quickly remember, “For sale: 1971 or 2 Datson 12000. Runs good, only uses a qart of oil a week. $15000 obo.”
That’s funny…new, you could buy DatSUN 12000s for only $10000. And they used NO qarts of oil.
