Adventures in missing the point......: Craigslist fun

At least I'm not the only one.

Yipee--I found another hilarious Craigslist ad in my quest to entertain all 4 of my blog readers.

Winnebago/Legend Cat Pro fishing boat will not separate

27ft Winnebago with Legend Cat 24ft fishing boat, will not separate, motor home needs some brake work and a little body work. Boat partially in storage.

Can you imagine the force it took to launch the boat off the trailer? The trailer is still hitched!!! Only the boat launch up and into the RV. Who forgot to put the straps on the boat? I am sure the driver totally needed a new pair of underwear. I just pray for her sake it was not the wifes turn to drive.

The point is...I feel a little better about the time I crashed and rolled our 24 ft camper and Tahoe.

Are they really serious?

I was thinking...since I spend a good amount of time on Craigslist looking for Real Estate bargains for AutoPilot Homes it would be enlightening to show you some of the most ridiculous items people try to sell and even better the way people describe their beloved items. I promise every post will be an actual post and not made up no matter how hair brain they sound! Won't it be nice for my huge blog reading audience (thanks to all 3 of you and my mom!) to read something that is not about my adorable children!

So with that in mind enjoy these cat ads...

(if you want the link to purchase any of these just let me know!!!!)

Ferocious Attack Kitten

Ferocious attack kitten is available for adoption to any home willing to accept him. This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house, even against you. Well-trained since 10-weeks of age to attack anything in his presence, he will protect your family from evil things, including the following:

* insects

* other trained attack kittens

* babies

*toilet paper

* anything under a blanket

* unwanted house guests

* paper bags * floor rugs

* Chuck Norris

* Feet.

Great with children (assuming you don’t like the children). Probably best used for professional cat fighting. He is housebroken, but only because he wants to be. This attack cat has trained himself to seek out his food anywhere you hide it and rip the bag open to feed himself, great for those who travel extensively. Also trained to drink water out of toilet bowls and dishwater from items in the sink. Knows how to open some doors. He will find you wherever you hide. Neutered (trust me, you wont want to him to procreate). Has not been declawed, but you'll figure that out really fast. Understands and responds to a variety of vulgar and profane verbal commands. Has a very soft and furry belly, like a teddy bear - however he will bite your face if you try to touch it. Willing to accept trades. Potential adopters must have experience with trained attack-kittens... please be prepared to show scars. For the love of God, someone please take this thing out of my house .

But wait, there's more! I found this gem too! Please enjoy.

Carton Of Irregular Cat Hats

Hello. I have a big box of used cat and kitten hats that I have collected over the years for various occasions. As of recently my cat, Snowman, is no longer living and thus I am forced to get rid of these precious memories. I would not feel right asking money for them so I am offering the whole box for free. There are many styles from formal to cute and funny.

There is a variety of 14 different hats total. I just hope you and your pet can find as much joy in these hats as me and Snowman once did. E-mail me if you are interested and I will give you my address where you can pick them up. I can also arrange for a free delivery if you are not too far away.

There is so much to comment on with the above ad that I don't know where to start. I'll just say, "WHAAAAA-AAAAT?!" Poor Snowman. No wonder he is dead, he clearly was driven to take his own life.

Notice the hopeful look in his eyes in the first photo, like maybe this is the only time I will have to wear this stupid hat. Then the next photo, as reality began to sink in--this may be an ongoing ordeal. And finally, the despairing, yet still cat-like baleful stare into the distance, as if he is above it all, and he is not, in fact, wearing a fluffy lamb costume on his head.

The point is...What kind of "formal occasions" would call for a cat wearing a hat?! Kitty would be totally stressed out and barfing with a hat on!
