Craig's List: Free Blow

Obviously a fake CraigsList posting, but funny none-the-less:

Free BLOW!!


Date: 2007-12-11, 12:26PM MST


Here's the thing, I'm trying to clean up my life, but I've got to get rid of all the drugs from my past. So last night, as I was trying to empty all my stuff into the garbage, my wife came out and started trying to rip it out of my hands. Needless to say, and argument ensued, and soon the neighbors were in on it too.

We all stood there, arguing over what to do with the dope I wanted to throw out, when suddenly, my neighbor tried to rip in out of my hands. Now, I've got a serious problem.

The bag ripped and the white powder went EVERYWHERE. I mean, it's all over the lawn, the driveway, up and down the street. There's just a bunch of dope out there lying on the street. I'm terrified that the cops will come at any minute.

I mean, this stuff is thick, we're talking several inches just covering everything on the whole street.

So, Free dope, come one come all, bring your straws, your needles whatever, but PLEASE bring a shovel, you can have all of the powder from my driveway, my sidewalks, and even the grass if you promise to be gentle, but bring a TRUCK. There's a lot of this and I don't want any left behind.

First come, first served. Also, my neighbors have offered to let you have the powder on their property as well.

Near Southwest Plaza, email for directions. Hurry, an offer like this won't last long. (And I'm worried the cops are coming, so come QUICK).

Casino Coming to Marlborough?

Metrowest Daily News:
Boston, Mass. -

Gambling tycoon Sheldon Adelson, who grew up poor in Dorchester and has become one of the world’s richest men, is drafting plans for an extravagant gambling resort in Boston’s outer suburbs and recently made his pitch to Gov. Deval Patrick’s administration.

Adelson, whose Las Vegas Sands Corp. oversees gambling resorts stretching from the Vegas strip to the resort city of Macau on China’s coast, wants to make the Bay State the latest addition to his global casino empire, industry executives and others familiar with his plans said.

Adelson, who in the past has expressed interest in building a resort casino west of Boston near Interstate 495, is now focusing his attention on the Marlborough area, one executive said.

Adelson, who has a home in Newton, huddled recently with Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Dan O’Connell, spokeswoman Kofi Jones confirmed. O’Connell is overseeing a review of whether the Bay State should legalize casino gambling. Gov. Patrick is expected to make a decision later this summer.
