I don’t know if any of you ever go on www.craigslist.com to kill time, but I’ve been known to. There’s a section called “Best of Craig’s List” that is totally fabulous. This has to be my all time favorite Craig’s List listing though.

It makes you wonder, why doesn’t this guy trade his flamingoes for a calculator? Or maybe he could trade his old calculator for one that comes up with 4 when he enters 2 plus 1 plus 1.
I also wonder how good a dog would be to trade him for pink yard art. Flamingoes are right pretty and all, but I don’t think I’d trade my best friend for them. And why does he need a weed eater? If he takes the yard art out, then there won’t really be anything to weed whack around, will there?
Does the stork bring baby flamingoes? Where do baby storks come from?
Don’t falcons eat storks and flamingoes?
Who shot the mama? Did the babies witness it? Were they traumatized? Because I don’t want any traumatized flamingoes in my yard. That’s probably a good way to get rabies. I bet the falcon did it.
I wonder if the flamingoes would be happy at my house. I think I could give them a home. I could even probably figure out a way to plug mama’s gunshot wound. Sadly, I can’t let loose of my beer and the only weed whacker I own needs to have the carbeurator rebuilt. Did you know weed whackers have carbeurators?
Anyway, if there’s anyone closer to me than Colorado who would like to trade me 4 pink flamingoes for a weed whacker with a whacked out carbeurator, give me a call.
