He can go house on the toy without fear of breaking it, and parents get some quiet since it doesn't actually work.

Arcade Fire
I chose this posting today not because it's bizarre, but because I was intrigued and wanted to find out the story behind this... Also because I love the authors creative naming of his neighborhood Camberville (Cambridge/Somerville line).
Back to Arcade Fire
I didn't know that Arcade Fire is an indie/alternative pop band that has some really nice music. They're from Montreal, but you can't hold that over on them. (Me, Mom and Morgantaler were from Montreal too and they rock). They've won several award including a best Alternative Album of the Year award for Neon Bible (The album that is featured in this poster art available for free.... )
I investigated a little further and looked at their web site and FB Page. Here is a little sampling of their music for you listening pleasure.

This is just downright creepy....
Even if it wasn't creepy, there are a couple of comments I'd like to make
Firstly, the photography is just not up to snuff. Both views of the "hair" look like they are different colors. Which one is more true to the actual color of the hair. As someone with slightly reddish/brown hair, I'd like to be able to hold my hair up to the picture to see if there is a match before heading all the way to Medford (or MeddFaaah as we affectionately say ) to take a look at it.
Secondly, It's really hard to know what the scale of this piece is without some sort of object beside it to illustrate scale. Like, perhaps a head or a hand.
Lastly, why do I want to put something on my head that's been on your dusty wood floor?

One man's trash is another man's treasure
Some good samaritan posted a box of 78 records (about 60 of them) that were sitting in the trash as he/she was walking by. They said there were no "classic" or "Guy Lombardis" but at even $1 (or even .50) a pop, that's a lot of scratch that someone is just throwing away. Some people.
I hope they didn't end up in the trash truck and someone got themselves a nice little collection.
Listen here (not the same artists, and I can't make out the Blue Bird one):

RePurposing
Back on Jan 4 I posted a couple of ingenious ways to cut costs on your construction/remodeling costs.
Here is another posting I found yesterday along the same lines.
I don't know whether breaking through all the tile work in the surround is worth the free tub.
And what if it gets damaged in the demo?

Back with more free stuff
I took a short vacation, but ready to roll again. Couldn't resist posting this.
We just got a major dump of snow in Boston this week. Someone wants to be a wise-ass... but I think it's funny never-the-less. And... it's in my neighborhood.

Ingenuity
Todays posts are all about ingenuity. We've all seen the postings for free piano, ping pong table, couch... all these things have something in common. No one wants to buy them, and it's a pain in your a$$ to get rid of them. You practically have to pay someone to haul it away. Solution: post it on craigslist with the enticing "FREE FREE FREE" tagline.
Well today's post takes that concept a little bit further. It's a tight economy and everyone is looking for creative ways to shrink their expenses. Can't afford to have that tree removed from the front yard? Don't want to pay construction cost to demo a room? No Problem. Solution: post it on craigslist with the enticing "FREE FREE FREE" tagline.
A bit of elbow grease and these are yours for free:
Knotty pine paneling that was outlawed in 1978. I like how the owner insists that you have to get this done in one day. Doesn't he know that construction always goes over and you can't expect much for free labor ;)

Free Porn
Anyone who responds to this ad has to be crazy. Just the thought of where these have been... yuck.
I'm certainly not going to "pick them up" without rubber gloves on.

Free Dead stuff for your kid to play with
This Poster needs a better photographer or needs to exclude the image altogether.
They look like scary dead cats for your children to play dress up with.

I also like the insistence by the seller (or giver-away-er) about stating a pick up time. I'm tempted
to send back a one line email response "5:00pm".

Living in the past.
Normally, I wouldn't post something without a picture. But this one is too good to pass up. Straight from Baltimore
