Land Shark

I’ve been busy cleaning out the storage sheds and getting rid of things we’ll never use or want again.  One of the interesting things about this family is we tend to do a lot of unusual things and we also have a hard time getting rid of things.  I’ve found it very easy to create appealing listings in the Craigslist “free” section, such as this one:

Free Land Shark

Free leopard shark, maybe 10 years old. Survives well on land or suspended in air, but I don’t know about in water. I’m not sure of the gender, but you can investigate for yourself if you need to use it for breeding. Plays well with other pets, as seen in the picture.

You pick it up and supply your own cage/food.

There had been about 5 responses within the hour, so I decided to go with the most appropriate, a local commercial fisherman who wanted it for his son.  I suggested a trade of fish for fish — payment that is not generally the norm for Craigslist.

  • I like your blog. The dog one is also cool though a bit bizarre. This post reminded me of the time I found a dead sand shark at the beach. I hung out in the shallows and swished it by the tail so it would bump people and they would scream. That was such a great day. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to keep him long because he smelled funky. Was it hard to say goodbye to your? What purpose did your shark originally have?

  • i’m soooo sick of seeing this post everytime i check in on you thinking i’ve given you enough time to post something. But i guess not, so if you need a sign, here it is. POST SOMETHING!!!

    now don’t be a wisecrack and making a post that only contains the word “something”. or “post something”. put some effort into it.
