In another episode of Craigslist and KSL for free ads, behold the power of word order and apostrophes...or lack thereof.
BLACK KIDS DRESSER IN WORKING CONDITION
Oops. And here was the description:"The dresser has 4 draws and the nite stand has 2 draws."
I like when people spell out their accents.
I'm not a perfect speller though either, and I sympathize with this person:
$15.00 : chihauau puppy
Whenever I find that I'm needing to type that word out, it goes a little like this: c - h - i -....um... uauauuuaua. Throw on some u's and a's and maybe another h somewhere and call it good. They'll figure it out.
Or this-- the equivalent of singing that song your whole life and not actually knowing the real words.

Hyacinth Macaw male and Female
Very Friendly hyacinth macaw parrots for adoption to any caring home. have nice beaks to affect you with.
I don't think I want to be affected.
But even beyond spelling and grammar errors, the things people write can be incredibly entertaining. The things people give away...and better yet, expect others to want.
The Creative Uses:
Free Large 33gal rubber garbage cans (Caldwell)
Just pick em up and they're yours. We have 30 of them!
80 tires car and truck old and unusable (Caldwell, ID)
“...GREAT FOR MANY USES BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY”
Beanie babies (SF)
from craigslist | free stuff in provo / orem
I have lots of beanie babies - played with but not dirty - that I would love to donate to a worthy cause. Any ideas?
Funny you should ask. I wanted to have a beanie baby carnival for the homeless. I had all these tires and garbage cans set up for an ultimate beanie baby bean bag toss, but no beanie babies. Your ad came just in time.
from craigslist | free stuff in provo / orem
We have rock in our front yard that is free for the taking. Great rock for a lot of different needs. Please call Micky at 801-717-7635.
All the times this week when I had the thought, you know this would be a lot easier if I had a giant rock...
A rock can be a great indoor stepping stool, a good way to reserve a parking spot, or a good addition to any child's room. And you thought landscaping rocks were only for landscaping...
"Free Circular Saw Blade for Artist to paint Scene on"
Oh, And we could also paint an artistic scene on that rock.
The Ironic:

Hot Dog Costume
dang it. I missed out on the hot dog costume.
I think it's funny that people end their ads with phrases like that---"If no one wants it, I'll trash it"
"This stuff is going to goodwill if not claimed."
Is that a threat?
What if that same principle applied to free ads for cats/unwanted pets?
If no one wants it, I’m taking it to the DI
If no one wants it, I’m going to stuff it, dress it up in a tutu and hang it on my wall as a trophy.
If no one wants it, I’m probably going to light it on fire.
It's really not important to me what you do with your stuff no one wants. Although I have to admit, I do get very curious about how it turns out for a lot of the stuff.
Free corn dogs
from craigslist | free stuff in salt lake city
I have about 7 large boxes of corn dogs left (about 200 corn dogs). I have them in a large cooler we rented, but I need to get rid of them soon. I'd hate to let them go to waste. Come get as many as you want, and I don't have any ketchup or mustard.
Food! For the homeless carnival! BYOB (bring your own buns).
