MACBOOK PRO FOR SALE - Craigslist Prank

I am doing something a bit different for this post. Rather than my usual banter about different styles of plaid or the hottest kazoo crazes out there, I'm going to be showing you guys a series of emails with a man from Craigslist that happened last year.

Enjoy.

Mike (me):
Hello, my friend!  I have a MacBook pro I was given from a friend of a friend and I am looking to sell it.  My apologies for not calling or texting, my phone was recently stolen by a homeless man.   If you are interested, just shoot me back an email!

Craigslist:

Yes I'm intrested

Whew are u located ?

Mike:

Its a 2012 I believe. I am asking $450 for the unit and I can drop it off or you can come get it in LA.

Just to be warned, there are a few minor problems with the device that should not affect using it at all, but I feel that I should tell you.

The Caps Lock key is smashed so IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK LIKE THIS you will have to hold the SHIFT key at all times. You get use to it pretty fast, so don't sweat it.

Also, a while back a I was watching "Ridiculousness" on MTV while I was eating pancakes and I laughed so hard that I spilled over my bottle of Aunt Jemima maple syrup all over the keyboard and now its very difficlt to tpe on hrer. As compensation I will throw in the same bottle of Aunt Jemima's that I spilled and the DVD of the MTV classic that is Rob's "Ridiculousness".

 

Apparently during the process of spilling all of the Maple Syrup I actually jammed a pancake inside of the CDROM drive, so theres that. If you can get it out you can feel free to eat it.

As an unintentional bonus of spilling the maple syrup, if you are ever in a hankering for the sweet delicacy of authentic Aunt Jemima's maple syrup, then just slam your face down on that keyboard and take a lick.

The brightness key or the F2 key was smashed in as well as the capslock key and it shorted something out in the screen so it is now enhanced to a searing white light that frequently gives me and friends migraines, but it was never proven that it was the screen that was the cause of their chronic-migraines and several seizures.

You would surely be a fool to pass up this fantastic deal! Can't wait to hear back from you!

Mike

 

Mike:  

Bud? You still there?

Craigslist:

Yes

As I said before, my phone was stolen by a homeless man. I cannot call you.

Quality Kazoos for Cheap

West Music One Piece Plastic Kazoo
Although shoddily made, if you are looking for a cheap kazoo that will make noise for about two minutes, West Music Kazoos are for you at only $0.70 per kazoo.

Kazoobie Kazoos
Finally, a kazoo that will stand the test of time and your acidic saliva. I am of course talking about Kazoobie Kazoos, only made from the best polypropylene and their 'high-tech' polyethylene paper is louder than any other kazoo and best of all, water proof. However, this amazing quality kazoo comes with a price. A big one. At about $255 per 500 kazoos, you might be better just buying a couple from their website. 

Kazoo Toys
Now I'm not 100% sure that this website actually sells kazoos, but its name is Kazoo Toys so I suppose that is good enough for me and for this list. Enjoy. 

How To Wear Your Plaid

Some basic suggestions apply to both men and women interested in wearing plaid.

Taken from: wikihow.com/Wear-Plaid

1. 1
   Limit the amount. Plaid is a bold pattern, so you should avoid overwhelming your look with too much of it. Either stick with one prominent plaid piece or several small plaid accessories.
2. 2
   Pair your plaid with neutral solids. Other patterns will clash, causing your outfit to look confused and busy.
3. 3
   Choose your fabric carefully. Plaid flannels are common for autumn and winter, but plaid print also comes in lighter materials like cotton, which is more suitable for spring and summer.
4. 4
   Pay attention to the print pattern and size. Choose whatever appeals to you most.
   • "Woven" styles mix multiple colors into one pattern and generally use large squares.
   • "Western" styles usually have smaller squares and only make use of one or two colors.
5. 5
   Pick the right color.
   • Red and black plaid is the most traditional and works especially well in colder months, but it may look too rugged for some tastes.
   • Other traditional looks involve muted colors like navy, gray, brown, tan, cream, and white.
   • Light pastels and bright colors are more modern. These work best for warmer months.

For the Haters

A hater of plaid and kazoos has come out of the darkness and revealed herself.
She says, "Plaid is for losers!"
Kindness is the only way we can remedy this problem.
Maybe she just feels insecure.
Educating her on the beauty of plaid and of kazoos should turn her over to our side.
If we do this, I wonder if we can change all the haters of plaid and kazoos.
Fasinatingly enough, this person does not have an argument on why plaid is bad.
I'm not that angry, even though it may seem so.
Gravely, I responded to this hater.
I looked her into the eye.
Viciously, I made my point.
Eventually, she realized what I said.

"Look at the first letter of every line."

What Your Kazoo Says About You

                                                                  Plaid Shirts and Kazoos

Plaid! You simply cant go wrong with the multicolored delight that is plaid. Plaid, or Tartan, is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colors. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials. Along with plaid, something else stands out. This of course, would be the kazoo. Forged from only the best plastics and artificial coloring, kazoos stand on the frontier of modern music. The deadly but beautiful combination of plaid shirts and kazoos truly are the best that there ever will be.
