Today on craigslist: Why is it so hard to give away a Scrabble board?

What if this is the very board and um, racks?

Friend and comic, Jenny Rubin has perfected the art of finding weird shit on craigslist. Today when I got bored looking for actual jobs, I clicked on the "Free Stuff" section. I found this ad:

why is it so hard to give away a Scrabble board (West LA (Barrington)

I offered a SCRABBLE BOARD and its four racks - but NOT the Scrabble tiles - and someone wanted it, and of course didn't follow up. I hate to throw anything away, so let's try again: Can anyone use a SCRABBLE BOARD and the FOUR RACKS that come with it? Please don't ask for the tiles; that's what I needed the set for. I also came across a Trivial Pursuit board since running the ad last week so if you want that too, for some craft project or such - it's yours for the same amazingly low price of $0 (that's zero, no money, FREE, you flaggers). Cannot reply to emails; please include LOCAL PHONE NUMBER ONLY with response. Located near Santa Monica Boulevard and Barrington Avenue. Thanks.

Offering a free Scrabble Board isn't as weird as getting pissed off that no one wants an incomplete board game. No, no one wants a Scrabble board and racks without the tiles. What circumstances would you lose a board and racks but still have the tiles on hand? Fires, floods, and board game thieves aren't that selective. Who are you that you only need the Scrabble tiles? I bet it's for "art." If you're taking it personally that a stranger flaked and blew you off during a free game board transaction, you must find LA exhausting.

Other free stuff includes gravel, dirt, and a capuchin monkey.
