It is 11:15 p.m. on Monday. Five gallons of once-used peanut oil are STILL on my stoop. I would have guessed that even homeless people would have swiped it by now. It remains undisturbed and untouched on Bateman Street.
For the first time in what seems like forever, I have doubt that Craigslist can deliver. Could it be? Was my wording of the post too vague? It must be something.
I really wonder because a couple years ago I put a free ad out there for someone to haul away 100 odd pounds of trimmed aloe plant from my driveway. Said aloe was gone in less than 10 hours and I really thought I was gonna have to haul that crap to the dump myself. I would have guessed in these times where gas prices are nearing $3.50 that people would be pouncing on an offer of five free gallons of pure aceite de cacahuate. Especially here, in CA, where everyone seems to be refitting their cars with the biofuel engines.
Guess my expectations are askew.

That's one of my favorite words:
CACAHUATE!
I'm never using the word peanut again!
We tried giving away two free couches on Craigslist to no avail. My roommate eventually chopped it up for the trash can and used the wood on a campout for fire.
