Free Stuff!!
April 9th, 2008 . by ErinToday I was looking on ksl.com under the classifieds and came across a ‘free stuff’ category. You wouldn’t believe the crap people try to pawn off on other people because they are too lazy to take it DI or Goodwill. My personal favorite was the listing for a ‘free box of crap’. All you have to do is go pick it up and you’re set! WOW! A free box of crap! It must be my lucky day!
Do you need two different sized shoes? How about very ugly couches? No, you want the two boxes of cereal that expire this month…I can either continue making fun or I can offer good ideas for all this free stuff. There are different entries which include a free toilet, dirt, a lot of paint, wood and other various objects and knick knacks.
Idea #1: Here’s what you do. Go to the store and buy flower seeds or pre-plotted flowers. Get the free toilet and put the free dirt in the free toilet. Then plot the flowers and use the free paint to disguise the fact that you just used a toilet as a flower pot.
Idea #2: There is a listing for free wood. Take the free paint that you got because of idea #1. Build a tree house… even if you’re in your 30’s. There are plenty of things you can build with free wood. Then paint your creation.
Idea #3: The listing for 40 picture frames, kiddie photo’s and free scrap booking supplies. You could have some real fun with that one!
If any of these Ideas don’t appeal to your taste, you can just go for the free box of crap and just go nuts.
When Steve and McCall were in Europe last they left me in charge of watching their house. Bring in the mail, feed the pet rock, etc.
I started sending emails to Steve with links to free stuff on craigslist saying I was just getting rid of some of his things - just cleaning out.
Half gallon of milk, used bottle of laundry detergent, etc.
Good times, good times.
…Ah the wonderous recycling of other peoples crap with flare!
