Posted on Craigslist last summer:
8x8x16 Cement Block – $1
I have approximately 275 to 300 cinder blocks for sale. They are standard 8″x8″x16″. They cost about $1.75 plus delivery fees if you buy them somewhere else. I’m asking $1.00 per block.
You pick them up and move them yourself.
Please don’t waste my fucking time with endless emails. These are plain old cinderblocks, for fuck sake. You don’t need to do an engineering study on the feasibility of using these fucking things as building material. That’s what they’re for, you fucking idiots. Now listen, we’re all busy people here. You want the blocks? Come get the fucking blocks and give me one dollar for every block you take. How fucking hard is that? You don’t have to tell me what you’re building. I don’t give a fuck. I’m not interested in helping you build it either. Why? Because I don’t give a fuck. I just want to get these fucking things off my property. So if you want them, get the fuck over here with some money and take them. The next fucking moron that emails me with “I’m building a blah blah blah, and was wondering if…” The answer is NO. Come get the fucking blocks and build it yourself. If I knew how to do masonry, don’t you think I’d be using the blocks myself instead of selling them for half fucking price? What the fuck is wrong with you people? The next one of you fucking jackasses that emails me with some sob-story bullshit is getting his email address added to the North American Man/Boy Love Association mailing list.
You want the blocks? Come get the blocks, and don’t fuck with me!

A Panamanian call center rep insults an American customer trying to buy a computer. When the customer tries to bail out of the deal when he learns the PC does not include a pair of speakers, the rep starts calling him a little pussy girl.
This might be bullshit, but we’ll let you decide.

Musician Falls and Breaks $1M Violin
February 15, 2008 | Filed by Boner | Leave a Comment
In London, musician David Garrett tripped while carrying his 18th century violin as he was leaving London’s Barbican Hall after a performance, breaking it to pieces.
“I had it over my shoulder in its case and I fell down a concrete flight of stairs backward,” Garrett said Thursday. “When I opened the case, much of my G.B. Guadagnini had been crushed.”
Garrett said he bought the 1772 violin for $1 million in 2003, and he is now hoping to get it repaired in New York, where he is based.
The 26-year old musician is hoping and praying that it can be fixed. But if it can’t be fixed, hopes his insurance policy will compensate him and allow him to get another really expensive fiddle.

House Comes with Previous Owner

In London, a real estate agent showing a house to a prospective buyer found the previous owner hanging from a belt inside a walk-in closet in the main bedroom.
“It was quite a shock,” said a spokesman for estate agents Hartleys. “Our agent quickly ushered everyone out, locked the property and called the authorities.”
It is assumed that the man committed suicide.
