Craigslist fun...

Foreclosed family watches helplessly as craigslist crowds strip house bare | 11alive.com

The add seems pretty straightforward to me, I'd expect to see stuff in the driveway. Maybe this is why I don't do Craigslist, I don't jive with the bum mentality.

This is why you don't list addresses on Craigslist. Phone # or e-mail only -- you send the address when someone responds.

I've never had bad luck selling something on CL or even soliciting business. I did encounter a few flaky sellers as a buyer, but not many.

OOOOOOOO Wha
OOOOOOOO Wha
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop(ahh)
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop(ahh)
Sittin' in a native hut
All alone and blue
Sittin' in a native hut
Wonderin' what to do
Along came a native girl
Did a native dance
It was like a Paradise
Put me in a trance
Goin' Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Joined her in her dancin spree
Felt my spine a tingle
Held her tight and close to me
MAN I'm glad I'm single
Then she showed me what to do
First I was amazed
Soon I learned a step or two
Put me in a daze
Goin' Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
You can do the Coco Bop
Now's no time to stop
Left her for a night came back
Bring em side by side
A single pitch
Last two steps
Now you're gonna glide
Keep along the rythm track
Girls be showin' how
Now you start to arch your back
Man you got it now
Goin' Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy AHHHHHH!

If it was the horizontal mambo you are talking about, in the 1950's the reference would be in code, not explicit like in rap "music"..

From the actual ad:

Quote:
Fairly large, free yard sale. Moving and we want everything to go for free. So come over and take whatever you want and how much you want.
What were they expecting?
