Free Stuff!!!!

Did the title of this post give you a momentary adrenaline surge? There seems to be a certain thrill associated with getting something for nothing (or deeply discounted). And nothing better stimulates the brain's free-stuff pleasure center than the ksl.com's free section. Hils and I have taken to perusing it when we're in need of a good chuckle. Some highlights from last night:

  • A free leather couch! *may be drenched in cat urine
  • A trampoline! That reminded me of the classic Simpson's episode where Homer gets a free trampoline and it leads to a yard full of injured kids.
  • A pile of broken bricks! There is even a disclaimer in the description that says there are NO unbroken bricks! And to think there is some shmuck out there that bought his broken bricks...
  • An 11 foot tall globe from a parade float!
I've also realized there are a few things that no person need ever buy if they are savvy free-section watchers. They include moving boxes, fill dirt, fire wood, broken televisions, and Nixon-era washers, dryers, and refrigerators. So if you're ever bored or depressed, take a look at the free stuff. It will brighten your day.

Late addition...
We found a winner. This was in the free pet section.

Have you shared this free hobby with Marci? I believe she may be a taker on some of this stuff... afterall, it is FREE!

What'd ya say about the globe for your birthday? Or perhaps the couch with cat urine?

I laughed so hard about the free pet.
