Sold

Once upon a time (as in, approximately, seven years ago), I utilized craigslist.org to obtain a companion.  No, it's not like that, although, you (or I, or anyone) can certainly utilize craigslist for any variety of companionship seeking.  I was looking for a cuddly companion of the quadruped variety, specifically a cat.  Once upon a time (as in, approximately, seven years ago (and beyond)), one could post and acquire pets via craigslist.  That is no longer the case, at least not officially.  Craig was having trouble with the quality control factor (i.e., I think there were cults making sacrificial use of fuzzy unwantables).  Like anything else, where there's a will there's a way.  I often cruise Craig to laugh, to wince, to wonder; people say strange things, people write super strange things, and people try to sell beyond strange things.  (As an aside, I will add that it's fun sometimes to post one's own bogus listing to Craig just to see if anyone is biting (because someone always is); if one, for example, tried to sell a used gerbil wheel, one might be very surprised at how many people out there are interested in purchasing said used gerbil wheel.  It's almost enough to make one wish one actually had a used gerbil wheel to sell.)

I opened the Los Angeles "farm and garden" section today mostly because it seems like an oxymoron, so I figured the going had to be good for a chuckle.  Low and behold, the first ad I clicked on was "chihuahua mix for sale" and apparently, at that, "last one left!!!" (i.e., the devil worshippers got the others (I kid, I kid...I can't possibly know the fate of the other rat fetus looking purse pooches that were sisters and brothers to this "last one left!!!".)  Like winning concert tickets on the radio, the ad says to text to 323....blah, blah, blah.

Pity the poor creature who's pic is posted on this ad, not only because it looks like the base of a bundle of celery with wan eyes and a dirt smudge of a nose, and not only because even as the "last one left!!!" it still only fetches a $35 bounty, but because it remains entirely unclear (celery likening aside) whether this "item" falls into the "farm" category or that of "garden".

Life sometimes can be sold.
