The Nihilist Dog on Craigslist
filed under: Stuff to laugh atSo I've never posted a link to Craigslist, as I tend to assume that everyone pretty much knows about it. On the off chance that you don't: Craigslist is the bona fide, all-time, world-beating way to kill time online. People who don't have blogs use it for random thoughts, and you can buy shit.
Here's a great post from the Best-Of-Craigslist (you can nominate posts you find particularly amusing), where a guy (or gal - Craigslist is pretty much totally anonymous) complains that his dog is a nihilist.
A sample:
I thought he was depressed. One day I was coming home from work and he was laying like a dead rat in the window looking at me with a face that screamed 'so this is what it sounds like when the doves cry' which creeped the hell out of me. I took him to the vet and when I walked in his first words were "it doesn't look like I can do anything for your pet." I answered "I thought they had dog prozac?" His response was "oh, I thought he was dead." I put him on the prozac but all it did was level out his highs and lows, which meant he no longer cocked his head ever when people enter/exit my apartment and he sits under the table instead of laying under it. The anti-depressant experiment ended after three weeks.
UPDATE: Once you've read that one, read this one. It's thematically linked. It also has an M. Night Shyamalan-style "twist ending"!
