Otterman for sale

Green otterman for sale. 38Lx30Wx18H. This otterman is in very good shape. I'm selling this only because it doesn't match my new living room set. Best reasonable offer take it. Call 603-

* This item has been posted by-owner.
* Location: Chester,NH
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

No one knows how he was caught... that elusive Otterman. Some say he's a legend. Not real. Others say he's best friends with Bigfoot and has had several play dates with the Locheness monster. Either way, he has not been seen for years and thought extinct.

But now, NOW we KNOW!(and knowing is half the battle) He's being held captive in Chester NH!

BEWARE!!! Beware the creature of the cute little face and fearsome cracking of clams on the belly .... Beware of the OTTERMAN!

eeeep!!!!

Thank you for the endless amusement I get from reading the posts there... as well as from posting replies. Oh yes, I know I'm not supposed to reply in the for sale area, but I simply cannot help myself.

Yes... YET another Craigslist Asshat.

So... as I'm perusing Craigslist this morning I see a post for a wall hanging that I've looked at in Ikea several times.

I've only looked since I really want a picture this size, but I want one of Houston TX, not NYC. Plus, the $199.00 price tag for something I don't totally want is a bit more than I'm willing to spend.


I figured "Cool! I'll get it cheaper and be happy with it!" ...HA!

The individual that seems to think that they can pull one over on a huge multitude of people listed the $199 picture at $300!

Since I happen to KNOW it's $199, I email the mouth-breather who posted it up.. basically saying wtf.

SO.. this weeks "Craigslist Ass-hat Award" goes to the lovely participant who, when I emailed asking WHY she was trying to scam people responded with a well thought out, highly intelligent reply:

"its supposed to say 200

and how would u know what it cost"

Um. It's called the Internet, Captain Obvious. Seriously, you (Or should I say "u") laboriously lame imbecile! Did you honestly think that NO one may have seen that particular item?? As if you purchased this in the far off, foreign land of "Stoughton Mass" and no one would ever know you were trying to pull a fast one? It's Ikea, you dolt! The reason the store is so popular is because *gasp* people GO there!

By the way... it says $300... Not $200 (which is STILL a dollar OVER what you paid!! Dumb ass!)

Sweet tap-dancing Christ. Seriously... the stupidity of people never ceases to astound me.

You, dear CL poster, are a total and complete ass-hat. Congrats.

The Craigslist Christmas Spirit

ugh. Damn "I'm so much better than you and I'll tell you so because God loves us all!" people. meh.

I found this lovely "Christmas" message today on Craigslist. It's a message of Hope, of Love, of the Christmas Spirit.

The freakin' pickle sniffer....

All of you should be ASHAMED of yourselves!!!

How do you people sleep at night??? Do you realize that you are all toy scalpers and tax cheats?? Does that make you feel good?? That you would scalp a toy that could brighten a child's Christmas morning just to make a few measly bucks??

Not to mention the fact that when you buy something for $250, then sell it for $400 or so, that the $150 you just made is TAXABLE INCOME. Do you fill out a 1099 for the profit that you made? Do you report your fair share to the IRS?? Of course not, because you are all SCUMBAGS, that's why!

Merry Christmas to all of you scum-sucking lowlifes that have thousands of dollars to buy up all of the hottest toys and resell them to make a profit. Why don't you try getting a REAL, HONEST, job, one where you are actually do work and not rob children of toys for Christmas.

In the spirit of the Holiday Season, I forgive all of you, but I would hope that you would turn from your evil (yes, I said evil, for the Maker will judge you on Judgment Day.) "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, but render unto God what is God's). Are you actually doing that?? No, you are not because you are all tax cheats. The good thing is that the IRS is going to start cracking down on all of this and will look for patterns on volume buys on toys, so you better start producing the 100s of Wii's you bought for Christmas and took away from little children...you really are huge POSs.

Merry Christmas to all...

Wow. I mean.... I totally agree with your basic message, but that's got to be the scariest, evilest, vile sounding post I've read in a long time.

Christmas spirit does NOT mean you get to flame and damn people with your words, then add a "I forgive you" addendum and expect that makes it ok to do so. That's kind of like beating someone, then saying "Sorry" and expecting it to be alright.

Please do some research on the Christmas Spirit. The knuckle dragging mouth breathers that are reselling toys at a higher price will have Karma to deal with. You are not all powerful, or omni-present... so shut it and let the powers that be do their job. Your vile spewing post proves you are certainly not the one for that job.

Merrily,
Someone irritated with a pompous ass.

I'm just sayin'...

Another Craigslist asshat.

A post on Craigslist irritated me..... unfortunately it's gone and I forgot to copy it... so all I can do is tell you that the guy was trying to give a goat away for free because the terrible thing "eats everything"..... who'da figured. A goat that chews/eats things. *blink* To make matters worse, he also wrote that he got the "retarded" goat for his son as a pet. Pfft. Asshat.

I did keep my response though:

"Umm...Dude... Seriously.You bought a farm animal. A farm animal mind you, that is famous for eating tin cans and alike and you are actually shocked it ate random metal thingies and linoleum from your house? Seriously.

It's a goat. They are not intended as 'pets'. Not often have I encountered the little creatures in pet stores wagging their tails for attention. There are very few children's books referencing the bond and love between a boy and his goat. I do not see many Norman Rockwell paintings of boys frolicking in the park with their goat. And really, I would have to assume that teaching a goat to fetch a ball without devouring it would be a task a child may find difficult.

I think it's wonderful that you want to give the little guy to a farm (May I suggest Friendly Farm in Peterborough NH, or Petfinder.com) but I believe the problem we have here is not the diminished mental capacity of the goat, but the not-quite-up-to-snuff mental capacity of the parent.

Good luck with your goat placement."

Here's my rant about this fuckwit and others like him. Do NOT get an animal if you cannot care for it properly. An animal is not a disposable item. It's a living breathing creature that deserves at least a modicum of respect and care. The fact that there are people that feel they can simply discard an animal they've taken in simply because it doesn't quite fit into their lives, or live up to what they ignorantly imagined they would be like amazes me.

I fully fess up to my guinea pig accident. We took in a guinea pig from someone that had to get rid of him. In my ignorance I thought the little guy would be a bit bigger than a hamster and would require about the same amount of care. What I didn't realize is that they're extremely social animals. They need a lot of interaction from their owners, and a good deal of space to play. We had Sandy for about a month when my daughter and I made the decision that although we loved him and had a good time with him, he simply wasn't happy. He had grown up with kids and had been given the run of the house (I'll rant about cleanliness some other time.. but ew.) and he had spent hours with people. He only got an hour or so of play time with us per day, and simply wasn't happy. I was very upset about this decision at first. My daughter and I were horrified that we were going to have to 'discard' an animal we took in. We did some research and eventually found a site specifically for people to learn more about guinea pigs and for their adoption. We found a wonderful girl who had just lost her piggy whom she had for years. She took him and sent pictures of his new HUGE cage, along with the friend she had gotten for him. Sandy is happy.

What I didn't do is go on Craigslist and tell people that I had a free 'retarded' animal that anyone could take.

meh. I hate people.

Some people on Craigslist are crack smoking tard monkeys....

There are some people that simply need to be slapped with a freakin' clue stick. I'm just sayin...

Pardon me, but are you SERIOUS!?

You did mean $250, as in two-hundred-and-fifty-dollars, correct? For an older analog tv? An older 35" tv? Umm. You want $2(freakin')50 for a tv that most people would list here, and anywhere else, for $50 - $75 bucks? Is there money in the tv? Have you had the knobs replaced with 14k gold? Is there some odd rare animal living inside? Tell me.... is your tv a portal to another dimension that happens to be filled with leprechauns and pots of gold?

Dude. Seriously. Do some research, pop a reality pill and stop insulting the Craiglist members.

Seriously... unbelievable.
