So Take, This Broken Fridge (Funny Blog from Comedy Central’s Dwayne Perkins)

I recently moved.  In the spirit of MSTs (Money Saving Techniques), I figured I would buy a used fridge…As long as it gets cold, right?  I love how on MTV Cribs some rapper or athlete will have a stainless steel monstrosity of a fridge (SSMF) that cost more than my car but only has a few beers, soda and questionable bologna inside.   Every time MTV Cribs airs, there’s probably a housewife, mother of 6 somewhere, with a packed fridge, steaming at the thought of a top of the line refrigerator being used as a beer cooler.

In Los Angeles you don’t get a fridge with your place.  For a New Yorker it’s hard to wrap your mind around that concept.  Who wants to move a fridge…ever?!  I’m willing to roll the dice and get a fridge not as good as my last one.  Let’s all just keep our fridges where they are…forever.  Of course, this would greatly reduce the sales of the SSMF.

QSN: Fridge is spelled with a D and refrigerator doesn’t have a D. Write your congressman.

I came across the following add on craigslist:
Refrigerator – not working – $50 (Hacienda Heights)

NEEDS REPAIR
great Refrigerator for someone who knows how to repair them
does not get cold.

What?!?!  You want 50 dollars for something that doesn’t work at all?  So you want me to pay you to move your broken fridge for you.  Did I get that right?  And did he really call something non-operational, great?!  There’s gall and then there’s this. I almost want to reply to this person just to sucker punch him and tell him to stop trying to gain from every little thing and give something away every now and then.

ME:  You see it as a busted lip.  I see it as a reminder to pay it forward next time….You might want to put some ice on that.  Doh! That’s right your fridge doesn’t work. 

In true Brooklyn style I stumbled upon a Refrigerator that works for $50. Brooklyn…we go hard. Shout out to Philly on the help out. ( My friend from Philly told me about the fridge for sale)
