Academic Scholarly Books
http://www.academicscholarlybooks.com/

Curious. They buy college books, but sell them for under $5? I wonder what scholarly books bring these days? Textbooks, I get [if it's not this year's edition, it's worthless except to the impoverished].

When you type "sell books" into google, they're the 6th item. Way to go, mobtalk!

Best. Roommate. Ever.

Date: 2011-08-16, 10:06AM PDT

Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him. I'm a 25-year-old professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City. That's right! What you know about experience? I graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and moved to NYC at the ripe, tender age of 22. After deciding that New York was a stinky shit-hole, I moved back to Alabama to cultivate more professional experience. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post shit like this on Craigslist.

Anyway, so I landed this job with a marketing firm in San Francisco, and I have no fucking clue where to live. Honestly, I'm moving there in 3 weeks, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub.

A bit about me: I'm respectful, quiet, clean and I won't bother any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine." I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you. That's right! My dad is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking southern cajun cuisine. I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off.

I also read a lot. I fucking LOVE books. Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Hawthorne. All that shit. I read Tuesdays with Morrie the other day. It's a sad story, but I learned something about life, love, knowledge and the pursuit of something greater than myself. Fucking smart. Do you like movies? I fucking love them. We can watch the shit out of some movies together if you like, or go get drinks, or work out, hike, play video games or play a game of one-on-one basketball, or I don't have to talk to you at all. It's completely UP TO YOU!

Sometimes I play guitar. Are you going to love getting baked and listening to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd? LIVE? WHENEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT? Of course you are! I'll take requests and learn any song you like, because I have the voice of an angel and the acoustical stylings of James Fucking Taylor. AWWWWWW SHIT YEA!

A lot of people ask me, "Hey, you're from Alabama. Are you racist?" And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all. I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE. That's the only requirement to being a secular humanist actually. You have to like other human beings and want to help them for no other reason than they are human regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. WTF?!!!? Pretty fucking cool right?

I own almost nothing! I'm driving my car from Alabama to California in which I'll be transporting two duffelbags of clothes, one laptop computer, one guitar, one cell-phone with charger, 8 pairs of shoes, one picture frame, probably some condoms and a shitload of beef jerky and Pringles for the trip. Though, you can expect the jerky to be gone upon my arrival. Unless you'd like me to pick up some on my way into the city. See?! I'm the most considerate person you've ever met. I'm offering to buy you shit already!

Am I interested in your pad? You can bet my nomadic ass I am! I only require 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor to shelter me from the elements. Other than that, anything else will be considered a convenient plus. I'm taking being a roommate to the next level. Email me! I'll hook yo ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of karate trophies and a list of the top 10 women I'd like to bang before I die. If you want a next-generation roommate who consistently blows your fucking mind with awesomeness, then hit me up. I'm ready to give you money.

Lucky Comforter (downtown los angeles)

This is my lucky comforter. I've seen a lot of action on this thing! It's helped me to bag a dozen Hooter's girls, a couple of B-list actresses, one A-list actress, a Playboy model, and even, on one drunken night, 255 pounds of pent up sexual frustration that rocked my world. Well now my life has changed. I've found me a good woman that I'm ready to settle down with. She's insisted that I get rid of my lucky comforter. I've resisted but she keeps insisting. I wanted to pass this along to a deserving guy who is looking to change his luck with the ladies.

Dear Mrs. Lisa M. G***H,
Please tell me why you, a married woman, is texting and calling my husband all hours of the fucking night. Girl I promise you that you are not missing out on anything cause this man is not the innocent person you used to know. Even when you did date him he was fucking around with several girls. I got all the stupid love letters from then to prove it. Any how when you look at your husband tonight be happy it is not my husband because my husband is an awful man. He is degrading and abusive in more ways than one. He is diseased and a cheat. So look at your husband tonight and be thankful that he didn't assault you when you were 5 months pregnant with your child. Be thankful that you weren't told everyday that you needed to abort the baby. Be happy that you don't look at your children now and wonder if they will hear him say,"I didn't fucking want kids anyways." So please live your life and stop fucking texting my fucking husband!!!

A Craigslist item for sale, cool if you like running a raccoon delivery service.

Reply to this post

$41 new, asking $15. Surface rust, but structurally in great shape. Really large basket: 22" x 16" x 11". Can easily hold two completely full paper grocery bags with room to spare.

No really... it's big. You could haul, say, four raccoons assuming they didn't have rabies and you were into hauling raccoons.

Comes with mounting brackets, etc.

South of downtown on Grant between Hillside and Grimes.

If you're interested, please let me know what time(s) you are available for pickup.

GAS GAS GAS (Great neck)

Gas for sale. 6 gallons of gas for $110
Must bring gas cans
516-209-xxxx

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pts/3383578730.html

Gas For Sale - $10 (Anywhere NYC)

am driving from 250 miles away into new NYC today with cans filled with gas to sell. I am charging $75 for 6 gallon gas can filled with premium gas. You get to keep the 6 gallon gas can. I am selling it this way because that is the only way I am going to be able to transport it down there. So it is $10 per gallon * 6 gallons = $60 + $15 to pay for the gas can that you get to keep = $75. I am not trying to rip anyone off with the prices here, because by the time I drive down to NYC I am really not going to be making that much money to begin with.

Please reply to this ad with 1) How many gas cans you want to buy from me (1 minimum). 2) What time you will be available to receive it. 3) Where exactly you are located. 4) A phone number that I can text you back on.

I anticipate being in NYC at about 3pm today.

Thank you.

Interested in buying Bear's Place?

Campus Pub - $295000 (Bloomington, IN)

Date: 2012-12-12, 10:03AM EST
Reply to this post vq4sk-3415978582@sale.craigslist.org[?]
Well established campus pub with long history of live entertainment. Includes 3 way license.
Location: Bloomington, IN

Here are some of the comments that accompanied this posting to Facebook, mostly from local musicians:

Rumor has it there's a local music school hang for sale. Located conveniently across the street. All ages welcome provided the younger ages have fake IDs. Comes complete with roaches, disgusting bathrooms, and a 25 year long fall from grace.

... the floor....don't forget the floor! remember when it was carpeted, and they smoked in there? I bet the french fry I dropped in '77 is still under one of the tables

I'd be in just for the opportunity to scrub it from top to bottom.

On one musician's link, comments leaned toward the idea of a co-op setup:

Bear's needs significant work on its physical infrastructure, including pulling up the floor and redoing the sewer (hence why it smells the way it does). I think it might work to have a cooperative ownership group, then maybe do a kickstarter campaign for remodeling? One worry would be the interruption to business that would come form really fixing the problems. One thing is certain, Bear's is a *guaranteed* revenue stream.

[Curmudgeon]

I take it that "guaranteed" revenue stream would be for local contractors hired to fix the place.

Haven't been there in years, I guess it has really fallen down then.

found red wire cutters (Bloomington)



I found these wire cutters next to my front porch on Euclid Ave, off W 3rd St, this morning (Wednesday, May 15).
You dropped them last night after cutting my bike lock and stealing my bike.
I will return your precious wire cutters if you return my bike...no questions asked.
Imagine how many more bikes you could steal with these Wiss® USA-made drop forged wire cutters.

My bike is a blue Giant Cypress Women's hybrid. I bought it with my own money when I was in high school. It has a tattered, goth-looking bike seat with fabric hanging off it. It has a rusty chain and the handlebar grips are all cut up. Honestly, you could steal more desirable bikes if only you had not lost your wire cutters!

Thanks in advance. Email me to arrange a place/time for this transaction.
