    I Don't Need Books, Movies or TV Anymore...

    When all the entertainment I need is right on Craigslist. I LOVE looking at CL. Whether it's the ridiculous prices people want, or the often just plain crazy post, it never fails to disappoint.

    The latest trend is people looking for missing McDonald's Monopoly game pieces--"I have Park Place! If you have Boardwalk, I'll split the million with you!"

    I entertain myself by reflecting on whether people are really that stupid to think PP is rare, so it would actually be fair to split, or are they are trying to lure stupid people with Boardwalk who will fall for it. I don't know, I'm still 50/50 on that one.

    On one hand, I am very cynical and want to believe people are bad, but on the other, I know how stupid some people really are.

    I have found craigs list really entertaining the last few weeks myself when i inadvertantly clicked on the "best of" craigslist.

    From what I gather, these are posts that other readers have submitted as funny/odd/entertaining??. Some/many contain adult content, but there are plenty of them otherwise.

    I have spent literally hours reading some of these and laughing till tears have flowed from my eyes. it is almost addicting, so i have to stay off at work or i could spend hours.

    Anyway, to find the best of, go to craigs list, and look at the far left column, under the calender, click on the best of craigslist, you will find hundreds, so pick a few and see if you laugh!

      Read the 'Guy That Flashed Me on I-90'. The last line almost made me fall out of my chair.

          Dunno if that was tongue-in-cheek, but am totally unaware of Monopoly as trading-pieces : what's the 'split the million' thing? Million of what?
