And we have a new contender... Oxygen-Saline!

ROFL. Whenever I wonder how we could have people like Pelosi, Reed, and Frank elected to Congress, I need only go as far as Craigslist and read a few ads. Don't knock it though, some of my best finds have been so badly spelled and filed under the wrong category that no one could find them, unless they were looking for something else.

JHC! Regular saline comes in a bag. Oxygen saline comes in a tank, 'cause as we all know, dats Enema grade high pressure saline!

Not a spelling thing, but still a little off...

Not sure what semi steel is. Maybe recycled trucks?

That one's entirely on you. Semi Steel is a high quality cast iron with a low carbon content, usually achieved by mixing a percentage of steel scrap in with the pig iron.

No, Dave, the scrap steel they mix in comes from cars that got flattened by a semi truck, like KIAs and Hyundais.

Another great Craigslist find (Delaware), a plain-Jane Lincoln AC 225:

225 AMP 220VOLT AC 225 ARCH WELDER CONSTANT CURRENT COST FOR A NEW ONE IS $2199.00 SACRIFISE FOR $350.00BO

EDIT: this must be a Golden Arch welder, because an AC225 sells new for about $270. at Home Depot.

**Batti** · 04-07-2009, 10:53 AM

Apparently the Arch-specific models command a premium!

**whateg0** · 04-12-2009, 03:47 AM

Okay, I think I have this one right. Unless that really is one powerful saw under that light duty table.

edit: why did it resize my image???
