I received this email around 7:00AM. It has been removed, but here it is:
http://richmond.craigslist.org/mat/395453329.html
I have approximately 275 to 300 cinder blocks for sale. They are standard
8"x8"x16". They cost about $1.75 plus delivery fees if you buy them
somewhere else. I'm asking $1.00 per block.
You pick them up and move them yourself.
Please don't waste my ****ing time with endless emails. These are plain old
cinderblocks, for **** sake. You don't need to do an engineering study on
the feasibility of using these ****ing things as building material. That's
what they're for, you ****ing idiots. Now listen, we're all busy people
here. You want the blocks? Come get the ****ing blocks and give me one
dollar for every block you take. How ****ing hard is that? You don't have to
tell me what you're building. I don't give a ****. I'm not interested in
helping you build it either. Why? Because I don't give a ****. I just want
to get these ****ing things off my property. So if you want them, get the
**** over here with some money and take them. The next ****ing moron that
emails me with "I'm building a blah blah blah, and was wondering if..." The
answer is NO. Come get the ****ing blocks and build it yourself. If I knew
how to do masonry, don't you think I'd be using the blocks myself instead of
selling them for half ****ing price? What the **** is wrong with you people?
The next one of you ****ing jackasses that emails me with some sob-story
bullshit is getting his email address added to the North American Man/Boy
Love Association mailing list.
You want the blocks? Come get the blocks, and don't **** with me!

OK, I gotta LOL about that.
I know exactly how that guy feels. I own a machine shop and almost daily have that same f***ing rant going through my head as some guy stands there and goes into his life history from the first time he ever saw a car up to the moment that brought him into my shop to get some stupid F***ing brake drum turned. The F***ers come in and waste $200.00 worth of shop time to bring in some piss ant $8.00 job.
Ahhhh, customers----you cant live with um, and you cant live with out um.:D

Have you ever sold anything on Craigslist? There are millions of stupid people, and stupid people ask stupid questions.

Hey, this guy knows how to work on jet boats!
The most recent motor work was replacing the valve gasket cover and the plug gasket then painted the valve cover black.

I'm interested in the cinder blocks, would you recommend using them in a chimney ? I want to build a chimney and put bricks on the outside, are they new or used ? Can you deliver ? will you take .90 a brick if I buy all of them ?

Shi*t, I'm sorry I missed the sale. You think they would work for a retaining wall? I was thinking about digging out a small hill out in the back and making it a tiered, kind of step-like terrace look. You think they would work for that? Other thing is if they might work out front to make a kind of retainer for the plant dirt that tries to leak downstream when it rains. If I make a mini wall, do you think I would need a layer of gravel or anything in there at the bottom to help the water disapate? Also, are these the real white looking blocks or are they more the weathered darker gray looking ones? Could you send me some representative photos? I'm not asking for a picture of each individual block, just a general overview or sample lots if you can. I don't know which color I prefer, but if one is cheaper I'd like that price and, can you match it on the others? This is very important. Also, could you provide free delivery? I hurt my back the other day and I'm not sure how bad it is. You can e-mail me on a week from Thurs. and I'll send you my MRI report if I have it. I only need about 20 of them to start but if that goes well I may be able to use more. I'll try to have everything ready so you can just put them right in a wall spot where they go. I'll even show you exactly where they would go so you don't have to worry. And, do you take checks? Also, if you do, can you hold a check for like 3 days at the most. It would be alot safer if you could. Lastly, I do work with a church. Would you consider donating several or maybe most of the nicer ones for a manger scene we want to do? And, would you be willing to buy them back from us on Jan. 3? We would also need them removed promptly at the time of the sale so if you could haul them away that would be great. You would, of course, be free to sell them yourself as long as you pay for them. Thanks. Feel free to call me after 9 pm when I have free minutes if you have any questions.

Found a great Cl post not too long ago but it got pulled before I could post it on here. Basicly some chick was looking for a hookup over the weekend because her man had gone to the river with his buddies.

This is a favorite CL ad that a friend had recently sent me...
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/phi/471580402.html
It's me! Every girl ever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knock knock
Oh hi, how's it going? It's me! Every girl ever. I'm really looking forward to this date. I'm not nearly as attractive as you remember me being because when we met the bar was dark and you were drunk. Come on in.
Let's start off with the unavoidable tour of my incredibly typical post-college-girl apartment.
You'll notice that I went ahead and purchased everything that Ikea and Pier 1 have ever produced. There's my decorative birdcage over there even though I don't have a bird, and there's my gay wicker basket with bamboo poles in it. I don't know what the hell that's thing's all about, but I bought it.
Hey check it out, I have more candles in here than a Roman Catholic Church. Doesn't it smell like Hazelnut!? If I were to light all of my candles at once you could see my apartment from space! I ****ing love candles!
Come on into the living room.
Oh, I see you met my cat there. That's "Freddy Paws Jr." Why don't you pet him and act like you like cats even though you hate cats? There you go. Oh, he took a little swing at your eye there huh? Yeah, he'll do that. Hey, let's check out the kitchen.
Hey look at my refrigerator. There are pictures all over it! Look at all these pictures of me and my equally vacuous friends from college! We were so crazy! You can tell we're really good friends because our faces are all pressed up against each other like that.
And check it out, we're holding up alcoholic beverages to the camera in every single picture. That's to prove that we were partying. College was so fun! But of course I don't talk to any of these girls anymore because now they're all bitches.
Let's go back into the hallway!
Hey, before we leave I'm going to go in the bathroom for ten minutes for some mysterious reason. Why don't you sit awkwardly in my big, stupid, round papizan chair over there while you wait for me. It's like you're sitting in a hug! Be right back...
Sorry that took a half an hour, I don't know what the hell I was doing in there. Let's go!
Wow! Thanks for opening my car door for me! I'm totally going to blow that meaningless gesture out of proportion and delude myself into thinking that you're a really good guy because that's what I want to believe.
Well, here we are at the restaurant. No thanks waiter, I don't need to see a menu, just bring me some expensive things. Hey I know, while we wait, I'll tell you all about my unspeakably boring job. I hate my boss. He's a jerk! I might get another job. Maybe something in pharmaceutical sales.
Now let's talk about my family. I love my family. I want you to love my family. I want my family to love you. I want you to make love to my family! I want you to go golfing with my semi-retarded brother Travis. That would be so God damned cute!
Wow! I can't believe I ordered all this food! I have no intention of eating any of it. No thanks waiter, we don't need a box. Just throw it out.
Hey, I've got an idea, let's go to a bar and have an after dinner drink! It'll be great, it will be just like how we're drinking here, only it will be louder and we'll have to stand up. Come on!
See, isn't this better? Oh hey, what a coincidence. Look over there! It's a group of my friends that I knew was going to be here. Let's go over there so that they can judge you!
Hey, I have to go to the bathroom for a half an hour again for some reason. You can stay here and talk to my unbelievably hideous friend Christine! Christine's so ugly she scares kids! Talk to her! She has a job and a family that she wants to talk to you about too. Be right back.
I'm back! Sorry I was gone for three hours, there was a line. I want to go home now.
Well here we are at my door again. This was really fun for me and not you. You should pretend like we're going to do it again sometime! Maybe I'll see you at Target a few months from now and we can avoid eye contact because you never called me. Here, have this awkward goodnight kiss that's as empty as my soul. Good night!
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

I had no idea clapped out Celicas were going for so much out west...
Maybe I'll sell mine. It's Turbo, somewhat rare, and the roof and windows have a unique cryogenic coating that makes it impossible for the cops or other prying eyes to see inside, unless removed. Also the drivers side window switch has been modified for decreased function, such that thieves can no longer roll the windows up or down from inside the car, like they would have been able to whith the factory set up. There are substatial body modifications including the reshaping of the left front fender and the rear wheel openings, and a lightweight iron oxide coating that not only allows better airflow to the rear tires for improved cooling, but also creates a stunning visual statement. The front seats have a modified, see through, covering as well which reduces weight and allows much better access to the foam inside. This car is one of a kind and runs, which is fantastic for a car with only 354,987 miles on it. It's currently three wheel drive and but can easily be converted back to the factory AWD configuration by simply laying in 4 degree snow for 2 or 3 hours and changing the front, passenger side, axle shaft and wheel bearing. It could be a show car and might be worth a fortune, but I will let it go for just ten trailers.:D
