Craig Has A Cool List

In honor to two recent sales via Craigslist, here are two letters to the sold items.

* * * * * * * * * *

Dear Foosball Table:
It was with great joy that we loaded you into that van tonight, even though it took too many emails and that chatty woman showed up without an appointment. I'm glad that I will never have to lift your heavy butt again. I'm glad that we have more space in our garage. The worst thing about you was that you were so noisy. The best thing about you was that you had four drink holders.
Fondly,
Sam

Dear Nick's Blue Guitar:
Wow - you were a popular listing, eh? A lot of people wrote to check you out. I'm still kinda shocked that the woman who bought you asked me to drive 25 miles to meet her "at the I-5." It sounded kinda fishy/terrifying, so I said no. She drove to our house, and when her unattractive son saw you, he couldn't resist. The best thing about you is that when you were new you only cost $60, and Nick sold you for $40. You didn't have any drink holders, but that was OK.
Fondly,
Sam

I love Craig's List.
Also, I love foosball.
And drink holders do make everything better. If it wasn't so trailer-ish and ugly I would totally buy a couch with drink holders.

You got ride of Nick's guitar :(

Isn't that illegal? To sell a guitar?

That's sad... Especially since it went to a creepy person. But kudos to you, you didn't go out to the middle of no where to meet a complete stranger who wanted to "buy" the blue guitar. Stranger Danger!

Dear 1992 Pontiac Bonneville,

You were a good ride, but I couldn\'t ride you to China. So I sold you, and now I am typing on the new laptop I bought with your cash prize.

Thanks,
T.

Um how much do you want for the camper? You will have to drive 500 miles and meet me at the I-5 around Kettelman City, CA. So is $7 a decent offer? Or is that E-Bay???
