want really low rolling resistance? try these super rollerblades with 20" bicycle wheels and pneumatic tires.
Like falling down? they're really good for that too.
I built these things and they didn't work nearly as well as they did in my imagination.
maybe you'll have a use for them.
I'm also giving away a lot of other stuff.

This is the first entry...
...and none of the following Craigslist posts involve couches. These are all real, taken from mid January to yesterday. This will be a longer post than normal to give you a taste of what I have. From here on out, there will only be a few posts a day tops. Enjoy!
First up, my favorite type of free listing, the ol' I-Have-No-Idea-What-This-Is-Take-It-Please...
Free bag of ...something
Reply to: XXXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-25, 1:28PM MST
Hi I have a free bag with some stuff in it. I found i behind the couch lol, so I think there are like some gadget cords and a jacket, I can probably find some more stuff if you're willing to take it. Thanks!!!
-----------------------------
Expired food anyone?
Milk * Beans
Reply to: XXXXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-26, 4:55PM HST
12 gallons of milk available (10 2%, 3 Whole). They are expired, but have been kept in freezer since purchase. Although some suggest thawed milk is best for cooking/baking (vs drinking), it is really a matter of preference as the only difference is in consistency...Would VERY much appreciate a donation, but don't let that discourage you - I would rather it go to someone who can USE it =0)
Also have 5 bags of beans, all unopened. 3 are expired (2 Pinto, 1 Red), 2 do not have expiration dates (both Kidney)...No donation necessary.
Pick-up only.
----------------------------
This one personally amuses me. There are perks to working on a film set...
Potatoes & Pears
Reply to: XXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-26, 10:28AM PST
My husband brought home a big sack each of small white potatoes and pears from a film shoot. He gets off work too late to swing by a food bank. Too much for us to eat before it all goes bad. I'll hang the bags in front of XXX Santa Clara AVe.
----------------------------
Continuing the food theme...
Free Pancakes
Reply to: XXXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-22, 10:36AM EST
We made too many pancakes today so we've got some left over. These were delicious, made from a mix, but also with eggs and milk/cream, and nothing would make us happier than to share a homemade breakfast with you.
So come on and get some while the getten's good

Oof... some details need to be left unsaid...

And some things need to be thrown out...
free flowers
Reply to: XXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-24, 2:53PM PST
i have some flowers that were bought a few days ago from trader joes. they are beautiful and nearly dead but i'm sure someone can get a couple hours use out of them. they're in the trash can on the side of my house. email me for the address and you can come get them any time.
------------------------
There are many perils to the free listings. It is quite often that people accidentally take more than what is offered for free. This honestly sounds like a real theft, but the lesson here is never leave your shit unattended...
COME ON PEOPLE! BRING BACK MY.....

We will give a beautiful ostrich male to a worthy home. The lucky recipient must be knowledgeable and must have appropriate fencing to house an ostrich.

You have problems?
Need a second opinion?
Fashion emergency?
Just need to get something off your chest?
Send me your dilemma and I'll see if I can help. You may not like what I have to say, but hey - it's a second opinion... and it's FREE! It's there's no strings, no obligations.
Why do I do this? Because I'm concerned that I haven't done my part in this crazy world to pull my own weight. I'm trying to boost my karma. Call me selfish.
UPDATE: I've had a wonderful response and have been able to talk to many, many people. I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for your emails!
