Yes, Craigslist is an easy way for lazy journalists to bust out a quick trend story (also see Facebook, Myspace, etc.). However, sometimes, tripe finds its way into the legitimate news trough. For instance:

“Free Organs” Post on Craig’s List Leads To Organ Harvester Frenzy

Can’t wait for this story to be debunked. Fellow readers, feel free to look into Oregon news sources and police files and watch this story evaporate faster than an Arctic glacier during rush hour.

Anywhoo, sorry for the long break. Some gems from recent viewing:

• Learn how to be your own dog whisperer (dog and whisper not included).

• Apparently, nowadays cat sitters need their own insurance. Who knew?

• This lovely libel comes from an almost deliriously angry woman venting against a nightclub that, among other things, lost TWO of her coats. She probably should have suspected something given that the place is on W. Weed St.
• Cleverest name award goes to the ImPURSinators and their in-home purse selling demos. Tupperware parties, take a step back!

And finally, people seem to be losing a lot of specialized wallets these days, including Hello Kitty ones and ones for the Cubbies.
Finally, the phrase “Let the buyer beware” is timeliness wisdom for all the cheapskates out there looking to get something for nothing. Like tickets for Jersey Boys or Cubs bleacher seats…. for just $1? Sorry, not giving you a link that will 100% get you robbed.

tickets jersey boys, cubs bleacher seats - $1
