family values

I really like Craigslist. One time, I was searching for a used couch, and I found a computer desk WITH A SHOWER CURTAIN ATTACHED TO IT. The curtain literally enclosed the computer desk. And this was the description:

This item is a great space saver with three shelves. What makes this computer desk unique is the shower curtains.

Bravo.

Recently, an ad in a Seattle area Craigslist stated that everything in a house landlady Laurie Raye owned was up for grabs. The post was left up for two hours, and in that time, everything from the light fixtures to the kitchen sink were taken. The problem though, was that the ad was a malicious hoax, perpetrated by a recently evicted tenant! And the tenant was Raye's sister!

From BBC:

Neighbours said they had seen people removing items in the middle of the day but did not suspect anything was wrong.

AND

"In the ad, it said come and take what you want. Everything is free," Ms Raye told Seattle's King-TV.

THE ZINGER!

The fact that the evicted tenant is Ms Raye's sister has led to speculation that a family feud may be behind the case.

What are the holiday's like for the Raye family? We can only speculate...

Laurie Raye: Could you pass the potatoes please, momma?
Old Nanny Raye: Of course, dear.
Crazy evicted sister Raye: I'll give away all your furniture and light fixtures on Craigslist if you don't pass them to me first.
