The week between Christmas and New Year’s is traditionally pretty quiet. This is because the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over and the whooping of New Year’s Eve hasn’t yet begun. Nobody really knows what to do.
If you find yourself in this terrible predicament, there is hope for you. Go to Craigslist. No matter how bored you are, you can find something interesting there.
For instance, the best cat in the world is for sale. Why would a person sell the best cat in the world? Because the cat is so amazing, so incredible that he deserves someone better than the current owner. This very humble, unselfish owner only wants the best for his awesome cat…and $200.
 There is also a beautiful Italian paperweight…disguised as a Maserati. The owner says, after numerous trips to the dealership to fix numerous problems, it still won’t run. Therefore, he has determined the thing is inhabited by evil spirits and will drive anyone to the poorhouse before it will perform as a car. Therefore, if you want a really cool looking paperweight in your driveway, this is your deal.

Down in Texas there is a guy who recently became a vegan, so now he has 20 pounds of bacon to give away. After he became a vegan his ex-wife sent it to him as a joke. On second thought, don’t bother to go after this, because vegans are the only ones in the world who don’t like bacon, so it will go fast…especially
in Texas.
If you really want to stretch your mind and learn something new, you can hire a professional Tom Cruise impersonator who will give you a crash course on how to impersonate Tom Cruise. Or, you can take Canadian lessons. For a very small fee, you can learn how to speak Canadian, spell Canadian words and survive a Canadian winter. What a deal.
If hobbies are your thing, you can buy beer seeds to grow your own beer garden. Or buy a 15-foot model of the Starship Enterprise…only $25,000.
But maybe you want to make money instead of spending it. No problem if you happen to have an extra catfish thrower on hand. Yes, that’s right, someone is willing to pay $75 for a catfish thrower. It might be worth giving them a bargain just to see what they do with it.
So, you see? Don’t let anybody tell you there’s nothing going on this week. At Craigslist, there is always something going on. What a great way to start a new year.
