Don'cha just love Craigslist? This head-scratcher appeared today:
Quote:
tree trade for broken gopeds (sac)

will trade good for goped parts /sports big foot/

call text leave message XXX-XXX-XXXX
key,words,toys,hobbies,scooters,bikes,rc,rv,ada,dd n,race,karts bloom,flower,grow.rims, wheels, beat, radio, home, garden. paint ,audio
As intriguing as the main offer is the list of keywords leaves a lot of room for conjecture as to what this is all about.

Maybe Beat Poetry is not dead after all.

Geez, I never thought about a code. Kind of embarrassing for an old signal intelligence guy from the VN war. The truth is CL would be a pretty convenient venue for coded messages from terrorists, drug gangs, etc.

Aliens not so much, probably.

From this moment on I will consider the sinister possibilities.

Winter, it seems, is just plain hard on some folks. Brings up mental images of nice men in white coats, etc. LOL!

Perhaps followed by the tagline "Sent from my mobile phone traveling down the center of two lanes on my way to a collision". Amusing/sad to see some of the CL postings where folks badly flub the initial posting, then either don't go back to review it, maybe just don't care or saddest of all, don't see what's wrong with it.

Sadly, Gopeds are a kind of scooter.
