we all go digital

maura @ 10:15 am

Yesterday the Annefesto challenge was issued, and I’m going for it!

“Here’s the Annefesto! challenge: go to the free section of craigslist. It should be your town or the closest one available. Now, take the first 5 items listed and create something!”

Let’s head over to the Brooklyn Craigslist and see what we can find:

1. Tortoishell Kitten

2. Free Full Size Bed (Mattress, Box Spring & Frame)

3. hamster for free only to a good home (clicking in to the listing reveals that there are actually SEVEN hamsters, and if you take them all you get their gear, too.)

4. ENTERTAINMENT UNIT SOLID OAK

5. [ 2 ] 17″ tv’s for moniter to play video games

Okay, I know that this isn’t part of the challenge, but here’s the last listing verbatim:

“good condition i have agood antena also
i dont need them and on jan 1st we all go digital”

It’s Craigslist poetry!

Anyway, I read these all out loud and Jonathan immediately yelled, “luxury info spa for predator + prey!” Which is kind of what I was thinking, too:

Furnish your cat’s rec room in style! ALL the kittehs will want to be friends with yr cat, aww yeah. Your kitteh can lounge on the plush, full-sized bed while watching not one but two (!) TVs stylishly housed on this solid oak entertainment center. Throw in a cage full of seven sweet, tasty hamsters (plus toys — play with your food!) and your cat will love you 4evah!!!

Maaan, I’d hate to be cleaning up after those kitties!

Very good, though! There are no prizes yet, just the sensation of having invented something totally abnormal yet possibly useful, plus entertainment value.

Congratulations!!!

Thank you! I know, I am already having a hard enough time with the litterbox + vaccuuming. I would have to hire someone to clean the kitty rec room.

That was perfect timing for me, b/c I am feeling blag-idea-challenged, so it was nice to have a post prompt!
