I guess you can find things on Craigslist, too :rolleyes:

Sundae 01-24-2014 02:23 PM

I often search for thigs on eBay.
Minor spelling mistakes on items I want. I've occasionally been lucky.

No live lobster games though.
Bloody hell.

Weirdness. It's not just for the Japanese.

Gravdigr 01-24-2014 03:48 PM

Yep, that's weird.

monster 01-24-2014 04:57 PM

I was looking for a reptile tank

Gravdigr 01-24-2014 05:09 PM

Are ya gonna start a snake farm?

lumberjim 01-24-2014 06:27 PM

I found my motorcycle, sofa set, and washer & dryer on there.

monster 01-24-2014 09:06 PM

are they weird?

lumberjim 01-24-2014 09:29 PM

Um... My bike was weirdly inexpensive and perfect for me... My couch is weirdly comfortable.... If you lie down on it, you will sleep. Every time. My washer is completely normal and business like.... My dryer came with only one heat setting.... Molten.... But has since been rebuilt by the service contract I took on it.....

So, no. Not really. I guess I didn't follow the true spirit of the thread. Just yammering on about stuff im sure I already shared.

I'm annoyed with myself over this now.

monster 01-24-2014 10:05 PM

I'm sorry, I was hoping for weird, didn't mean to bring you down. I found a job on Craigslist. a real one that paid real money and wasn't in the sex industry.

lumberjim 01-24-2014 10:38 PM

No no... Not brought down... Just copping to being self centered there. It annoys me when people do it, so it should doubly annoy me when I catch myself at it.

You were right... These things belong in a different thread. It probably exists.... Probably one of those "what"threads. What cool thing did you buy on Craigs list today.... Or something of that nature.

I miss my motorcycle. Fuq this winter Wonderland buuullllsheeit. I'm sick of sub 30° cold. And fat guys love cold weather...

monster 01-24-2014 10:41 PM

I just found a job as a Sewer. sounds shitty

lumberjim 01-24-2014 10:59 PM

Sounds like a job for the Shit Men!

Is the advertiser illiterate, or is that the masculine form of seamstress.... Since they will be sewing tonneau covers and macho things like that....

Found my bike on CL too...and lots of other things. Have also sold a bunch of excess music gear there. Not sure how weird any of it is. Got a great deal on my bike.

I googled it and I found this.

Hi cole 1 post featuring 2 weirdos.
good start
you're going to fit in well here :thumb2:

richlevy 01-26-2014 04:25 PM

Actually, I think a bar/restaurant nearby that we went to a few years back had one of these. It was pretty expensive to play and I had no idea what the odds of winning were.

At least I know how the toy crane games are rigged.

It would be cool to have for a BBQ.

monster 01-26-2014 09:12 PM

:redcard: hmmm. I call foul it's not hard to find weird stuff if you go looking for it....... :lol:

I was looking for a lizard tank and a job. like you do. Were you after woven duck tape items? ;)

monster 06-17-2014 11:23 PM

large jar of out-of-date mayonnaise. maybe three years out of date.

https://annarbor.craigslist.org/zip/4524904653.html

ok weird but as a waste-not-want-not kind of person, I can see it might be worth a try for a hoarder attempting to reform....


But this bit: "could be useful if you use mayonnaise as hair conditioner" is just beyond weird. Mayonnaise trashes hair. Great for killing its, but trashes hair.

but I googled it and lo and behold it's seen as a legit treatment for moisturizing hair. really? Oh well.........

Wall hanging

Zombie hunters dream.

This is zombie hunters battle ax is 43 inches long. It's made from heavy-duty chain and a real sledgehammer welded with gear on one and saw blade on the other.

This will surely impress all your friends hanging in the man cave.

It is welded from top to bottom on both sides of each link very rigid wrapped in leather at the handle and the leather is secured with copper wrap.

This will be the envy of all your friends and associates here for all the zombies. LOL

DanaC 02-28-2016 07:06 AM

That looks like it might get wedged in zombie skull - way too much going on, man.

BigV 02-28-2016 11:01 AM

the edge is for dis-entangling limbs, for skulls, you used the gear face.

DanaC 02-28-2016 12:53 PM

I still don't like it. Even using the gear face. Not to mention that handle will get real slick with gore, real fast.

sexobon 02-28-2016 03:27 PM

Does the blade rotate so you can use it as a pizza cutter?

lumberjim 02-28-2016 03:55 PM

It's too long to be one handed. And the saw blade would get caught on the skull, making a freeing it quickly for a second blow problematic.

Pamela 02-28-2016 07:51 PM

Now, if the saw blade were motorised for fast head-slicing.....

I believe that you may be onto something.

Griff 02-29-2016 05:45 AM

You want finer teeth though so it doesn't get jerked outta your hands. Big teeth for maximum gore small teeth for handling... its quite a conundrum.

continuing the ew factor... free shower curtain

glatt 09-03-2019 07:55 PM

How do you clean a shower curtain? For real?

I kind of use a sponge and some spray cleanser and try to hold it up against a side wall of the shower so I can press down and scrub while the wall supports it, but there has to be a better way. You can't put any pressure on the thing because it's a freaking curtain. It's waterproof, so if you stick it in a washing machine and it folds over on itself, the inside part doesn't even get touched.

Does anyone have any tips?

lumberjim 09-03-2019 09:47 PM

Spray clorox clean up on it. Wait half an hour, rinse.

Or buy new liners every 3 months.

monster 09-03-2019 10:55 PM

it's not like it just needs a little cleaning. The cleaning products required (if it were possible) alone would cost more than a new curtain, never mind the labor.... and might be more damaging to the environment than just tossing the curtain.......

Some days I'm ashamed of my hoarding/overly-recycling tendencies ...and some days I realize I'm not that bad :D

I never scrub, I just spray it with bleach and let it sit for a while before rinsing. When that stops working, I throw the liner away and replace it every few years. The outer curtain is cloth and it goes through the washing machine just fine.

glatt 09-04-2019 06:37 AM

I find the soap scum doesn’t come off with bleach, although bleach is great at getting rid of the funky mold/mildew. Maybe our water is too hard or something. I’ll have to try that Clorox stuff.

Gravdigr 09-04-2019 02:47 PM

Dry the fucking thing and don't let the funk grow.

Or toss it and get a door.

Clodfobble 09-04-2019 02:52 PM

No way! You can buy a new liner for like $10. You're stuck with a door forever.

Gravdigr 09-04-2019 03:03 PM

My doors don't funk up.

They are 51+ yrs old. Came with the house, actually.

glatt 09-04-2019 05:37 PM

So when you suggest drying the thing, how do you do that? With your bath towel after each shower? Drying probably takes a lot less force than scrubbing, so I guess it's doable. Seems like a lot of work. I'm looking for less work.

glatt 09-04-2019 05:41 PM

When I lived in a nice townhouse, before we bought this old place, I had a shower with doors. I liked them but they got really nasty. I'm pretty sure that was hard water deposits. Although I was young then and probably didn't clean as much as I should have.

monster 09-04-2019 08:54 PM

I know it's going to kill me somehow, but I love Clean Shower spray

Probably.

monster 09-05-2019 04:50 PM

I'm surprised there is anything in california at all. When I went there for vacation last year, my rental car was brand new and the entire drivers window was covered with a huge sticker about it containing chemical know to the state of California to cause cancer

xoxoxoBruce 09-05-2019 05:07 PM

CA 3 & 4 star hotels with a brass plaque by the front door with that same warning. :rolleyes:

I wonder if they know it makes the state come across as even less fun than Utah

consider changing soaps. I use Dr Bronners liquid castille soap. i don't get soap scum, just mildew from the folds. New place has a glass door shower, and the cunts didn't clean it ever. not even when they moved out. Still had a cake of soap on the top ledge. cunts. black hair cunts. I had one go with Lime away on the doors, but it's gonna take tougher stuff to get through it. Then I'll get a squeegie and dry it after each shower(yeah right)

glatt 09-05-2019 07:20 PM

Get a nylon pot scraper and just scrape it off. Fast and easy on soap scum. An old credit card might work too. Much faster than cleanser and a sponge.

glatt 09-05-2019 07:22 PM

Oh wait. You're talking about water deposits.

Maybe a hammer and a trip to a glass place.

lumberjim 09-05-2019 07:42 PM

I have a headlight cleaning bit for my drill and some polish. I thought about trying that.

xoxoxoBruce 09-05-2019 10:35 PM

I wonder if a handheld steam cleaner would help? They aren't very expensive.

Takes ten seconds. Not an end-all, but it makes a difference.
