A study in human behavior happens tomorrow

I'll need to take pictures tomorrow of the event that will unfold at my house. I posted this on Craigslist Wednesday: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/gms/397297185.html

For those of you who do not want to link I am giving away junk - for free - I don't want it and most of this junk I've moved twice and never unboxed it. Well, some of it's okay junk... an old Apple Mac G4, monitor, etc.

Anyhow, I've gotten numerous e-mails from people who want the stuff, want me to hold the stuff (I've said no to be fair to the other people), and people who want the stuff early (ummm... that's cheating). Some people have turned on me when I told them I need to hold it... it's only trash... sheeesh!

But this has caused quite a stir and I expect a riot outside my house and in my garage tomorrow morning. These e-mails have been really interesting and some make me really question how far people will go for "free" or just material items in general. I have to figure out how to do this without people killing each other and so my house doesn't get trashed (or stuff inside the garage I don't want to give away taken).

Stay tuned tomorrow night - I may have some interesting pics posted. Or, I may be arrested for inciting a riot, in traction or filing a homeowner insurance claim.
