Someone must have taken our “best prank” challenge extremely seriously and pulled off what has to be one of the greatest pranks (bordering on crime) of the year. In Jacksonville, Oregon, a man’s home and belongings were stolen after someone posted on Craigslist that the man’s possessions were up for grabs for free. Of course the home owner had no idea what was going on until he drove home that day and saw cars/trucks leaving his home with furniture and other things in the back. While he told everyone to leave and give him back his stuff they all flaunted a Craigslist post they claimed was his, and that it gave them the right to take anything that was available for the taking.
Crazy no? Does this mean Craigslist is the new Carte Blanche? Imagine if someone posts a fake Craigslist promotion giving free lunch or dinner at say….Hamilton’s on the mall if you leave the printed post instead of cash/credit card! How much would you trust ANY Craigslist post?
The picture above was taken from this strange blog….really weird.

/runs off to make ‘hot chicks can have sex with oy for FREEEE’ post
Tired of paying?….um let me know if that works, OK?
thats amazing! who would have ever thought there would be fake posts on Craigslist?
I’m flabbergasted! Ok, not really, I just like saying that word. Flabbergasted. It’s right up there with smörgåsbord. Indubitably.
i don’t know if truth or trust between humans ever did exist, but whatever remained of it was scuttled to oblivion by the big bang of the internet.
i have a case of the mondays.
*hands parlie a tall glass of Friday* Hope your day gets better.
happiness is over-rated anyway.
if we created a “free beer” post for South Street on craigslist, would that give you a case of the fridays?
That would give me a case of the Fridays and a serious hangover.
in college, obviously, we invented a beer called “the mondays.” it was sold only in increments of 24, and we were hilarious. more bonghits, please.
I actually thought for a very brief moment that today was Friday while reading all of this. Then I was very sad to realize it was completely untrue.
/Seriously needs more sleep.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, trillian, but it isn’t even Thursday yet.
it’s not monday though and we’re almost over the hump.
I know, I know. My brain is playing evil tricks on me today…
would that give you a case of the fridays
I don’t think it has enough flair. You do want to express your enthusiasm, don’t you?
oh thank gawd……b’yo it was awful, cold, dark, and then Thor thought it would be funny to poke us with sticks….it wasn’t…. there were clowns (not the good kind), but we coped by drinking blue harmonica’s..Street can fill you in.
welcome back
Clowns, you say? Oh dear. Im terribly sorry. Fortunately (or maybe not) I have almost no vacation time for the rest of the year (damn you thursday mornings!) so I will be chained in my rectilinear task hutch looking for escape for the foreseeable future…
Thanks double lo!
oops, make that: clowns…
oh yo, do tell how you know about ouchy! that could be in a post on its own….
“it was a dark cold night and the initiation at the frat was going really well, until they mentioned there would be some circus acts involved before the weekend was over…”
What happens at ouchy’s lair, stays in ouchy’s lair.
