but one thread.
Here goes:
I sold a stock trailer this weekend on Craigslist. It was my first foray into advertising through this medium. I was very satisfied with the results. I had people calling from California/New Mexico/Colorado/Alabama/etc. Sold it to a guy from Cushing for the full asking price. I'll use Craigslist again.
That being said, have any of you seen some of the **** people write on there? It's downright embarrassing. I look in the "farm & garden" and "tools" nearly every day, and I see **** that makes doleo look like a Rhodes Scholar.
"stoCK trayler, reel goodD shap, no much rust - $3.000. - ferm."
You'd think some of our texting posters on this board wrote the ads. Incredible. WTF is wrong with people? How can you function in life like this?
Second topic:
I just attended a large federal employee awards luncheon today. I was up for an award, and so was momma. Her category was "Outstanding Diversity Contribution."
Anyhow, they're lining everyone up to go march across the podium and she's talking to this dude who is next to her in line. Kind of short, chunky, pasty-faced with a half-assed Abraham Lincoln/terrorist beard going on. The dude next to her wins the award for that category, and as we're sitting down she looks him up in the awards book. She goes to me "what does transgender mean?" I said "used to be a dude or chick and now they're the other." She goes "read this here." Here's what this guy/chick's boss put in the official awards book:
John Doe, a transgender man, underwent a gender reassignment process while maintaining full-time employment with blank-blank government agency, educating people through his experience. He is an integral part of our recruiting team and EEO program. He is the Vice-President for the Board of Directors of the United Campus ministries at blank-blank university. blah, blah, blah, blah. He was presented blah blah award from the Justice and Witness Ministries Committee of the United Church of Christ.
WTF? This poor dude/chick has to be so confused. And the COC has obviously come a long ways from where they used to be. From no-dancin' or movies to sex-changes?
Dude/chick went into the men's room while we were standing in line. I didn't check to see if he/she stood at the urinal though.
