Actual text of a Gallatin Craigslist ad: “traffic light this is a real working traffic light, sorry no pics but it is in excellent condition…” Um, you not allowed to just take those things. I think they’re important or something. In fact, now that I think about it, I’m darn-near positive you can’t just take stoplights down whenever you [...]

Of all the things in life that motivate people, I would have to think that free walnuts is pretty low on the list. Maybe I’m just out of touch. Maybe walnuts are the new cool-kid currency at school; like Pogs, only edible. A recent Sumner County Craigslist Ad reads: Free Walnuts for the taking…..in my back yard!! (White [...]

Hendersonville women, watch your back. This Craigslist post makes it seem like there is a possible pervert among the parents who take their kids to Drake’s Creek Park for some R&R. It reads: “For a heterosexual male, who’s into “curvy” women over the age of 18, the park in Hendersonville could not be any better. The women [...]

“Picture of Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest - $17 (Hendersonville, Tn)” Got to be one of the most off-the-wall offerings ever for our local Craigslist. I mean… a picture of a Civil War guy? And how did you arrive at the $17 figure? Pull that out of a hat? Because–and I hate to break it to you–you just [...]

Three strange Sumner County Craigslist posts to cover quickly: 1. Let me pose a hypothetical to you: You’re walking down the street, and some guy walks up to you holding out a cucumber. He smiles and says, “Wanna free cucumber?” What would you do? Would you take him up on the offer? I would sock that guy in [...]

“Seasoned Fire Wood (Portland) We have a pickup truck load of firewood that does need to be spilt. Logs are about 15″ long and some are about 15″ round. Come pick it up and you can have it.” Seasoned firewood? Seasoned how, exactly? Like… is it lemon-pepper firewood? Or something more like garlic-oregano flavored? There are hundreds and [...]
