Have you ever gone on Craigslist and looked at the "free stuff" section? It's hilarious. You probably wondered to yourself, why the hell are these people trying to give this stuff away instead of just tossing it in the trash like normal human beings. Honestly, Mr. sale-887394691@craigslist.org (whoever you are) nobody wants four fake-leather seat covers from your 1993 Astro mini-van. Seriously, these people are nuts. I've decided to celebrate these wacky craiglist folk with El Guapo's guide to this week's best FREE crap on Craigslist. The guide consists of ACTUAL postings from Craigslist's "Free Stuff" + commentary from El Guapo + fake pictures from the Google. Hope you enjoy...

(1) Free Refrigerator!!!!!! (Broken) Lake Zurich (Lake Zurich)

Who the hell wants to lug away your two-hundred pound broken fridge?

You might as well advertise, “Free hernia!!!!!! (F*cking heavy).”

And what’s the deal with the excessive exclamation marks?

Are those supposed to make me even more excited about this value purchase than I already am?

Maybe I should try this subtle writing technique.

Do extra question marks make El Guapo extra SEXY???  Indeed they do…

(2) FREE Diabetic SHOES, Old Display Models, Never Worn, Pick Up Only (Chicago)

 What are Diabetic SHOES and where can I get me a pair?

Actually I don’t get it.  Are these shoes low in sugar?  Personally, El Guapo prefers shoes made out of candy corns and marshmallows.

Diabeetus the Remix

Oh that Wilford Brimley…he kills me

(3) Leather bound books (Cary, IL)

Please, please please tell me you’re also giving away the scent of rich mahogany.

For all your other non-book related leather needs, head over to this place.

(4) FREE MARIO TRICOCI HAIRCUT (Glendale Heights,Lombard,Carol Stream)

Not sure why I’d want to get my hair styled like Mario Tricoci…


El Guapo will stick with his amigos at Mexico Barber Shop.  Those dudes know how to handle the JewFro.

(6) Silk/Fake flowers, glass vases, baskets, stuffed animals and more FREE

Sounds like somebody’s grandma died (sad).

Throw in two bridge chairs, a bottle of aqua-net hair spray and some oversized grandma jewelry and you got yourself a deal.

In all seriousness, let me end this guide with some real advice.

There is NOTHING more important in the world to old people than seeing their grandkids.

El Guapo suggests becoming a little brother or sister to some old folks in your community. Even if you are not their real grandkids seeing you for two hours on a Sunday will make their entire week. Plus, you will probably get some delicious Worthor’s Originals out of the deal.

El Guapo says, “it’s a win-win.”

(7) free magazines (foster ave at kedzie ave)

This lady was offering In Style and Time magazines dating back to 2004.  Great, thanks lady.  So now I can read about fashion trends that are no longer actually “in style” and news from four years ago that isn’t even close to “timely”.

(8) 10 Free Office Desks (LaGrange, IL)

Ten laid-off employees not included in deal.

Sounds like this financial crisis is starting to hit home.  For tips on how to survive, El Guapo recommends that you read the definitive guide here

Great sh*t. Hehe. The only thing missing is the unicorn I am renting out on first come first serve basis. It’s white and has a nicely shaped mantle. It was the stand in for that amazing Tom Cruise movie, Legend. If interested contact El Guapo.

Haha. Gracias Cornholio. Me thinks, you’re absolutely right about that golden egg that is the list of craig. As long as people continue to give away their used undergarments, seat covers and aluminum siding El Guapo will continue to mock them. You shall get your list of craig and you shall get it weekly!! BTW, if you must know, picture of Grandma found in men’s room at Halligan’s Bar and Grill, Chicago. Si “hi” to your grandma for me.

El Guapo, this is hilarious! I hope this is a weekly posting – me thinks there’s no end to this rainbow of goodies on Craig’s List. I just hope you keep advertising the plethora of wonders that is the free section on the list of craig. Keep it up EG. —Corn. PS Where’d you get that picture of my Grandma?
