Best of Freecycle: 18 of the Most Crazy, Funny Pieces O' Free Stuff - Page 2

9. wanted a maclraten rain plastic

Ah yes, what discerning yuppie parent doesn't have the "maclraten" SUV-style super stroller? Better gas mileage than a Maclaren, I'm sure. Obviously a regular tarp will not do to keep the elements out of a maclraten.

8. OFFER: A Frozen Turkey (UES 90/1st Ave)

Hopefully, those interested in frozen poultry will use their Free Birds for good, not evil. In this case, up for grabs was a 18.94 lb frozen solid young Butterball turkey. As the poster noted, "This is a sizable bird so I would really like it to go to someone who can not only defrost and cook it properly but also have the room to store the leftovers ... a family of four (at least) would be preferable."

It came with a disposable aluminum baking pan and a box of Bell's Seasoning. You can't say there's no such thing as a free lunch!

7. OFFER - Large, headless doll body-----midtown-----

"I have an oversized plastic doll body that is missing a head and its left arm. It stands around 33" from foot to neck. I've owned it for a while but have decided I'm too old to have a kitsch decapitated doll. It would be great for an art project."

Apparently a photo is available. There's always been something creepy about mannequins and dolls. Especially headless ones.

6. TAKEN: Deep fryer, ice cream maker, other kitchen items (West Harlem)

What are the "other kitchen items"? Cotton candy machines? Snowcone makers? Lard injectors?

5. TAKEN: black wheel chair w only one brake but in great condition – H

Uhhh, anyone want a wheel chair in great condition… except for only one brake? Of course, in all fairness, it's conceivable someone handy could take this and fix it up, or perhaps pay something to get it serviced. (I'm not sure I would call Bubbles though). It's good to repair used and broken things, returning them to service, versus always buying new and landfilling at the first sign of trouble.

4. Wanted: magnate Mac plug

By "magnate" did you mean Apple honcho Steve Jobs, oh Freecyler? Or perhaps One Cord to Rule Them All? Perhaps something from Magneto?

3. WANTED: alot of powdered milk (manhattan,ny)

Um, yeah. This guy (Powdered Milk Man??) "would like to stock up on powdered milk cant drink soy or regular milk or even 2 percent." We hope he doesn't want it to cut crack cocaine for resale on the street.

2. Taken: Napoleon Dynamite Talking Action Figure (in prom suit)

A talking action figure from one of the best movies ever? Sweet! This snapped-up Napoleon Dynamite figure came sans original box. But again, it talks.

1. TAKEN: mostly full 5L Heineken keg

Free beer!!! Need I say more? (Hopefully it wasn't skunked). As the song says, "Beer, it's liquid bread, it's good for you."
