Somerville Home to Fluff, Giant Aluminum Ball

Further proof that you can get just about everything and anything that you're looking for on Craigslist – and some things you're not – a big ol' aluminum foil ball went on the block today. From the original post:

Okay, there is no short way to explain this, but to put it bluntly after an incident involving almost a mile's length of foil the result of the cleanup was transformed into the form of a giant foil ball.

The ball is about 3' by 3' in diameter and is composed only of foil and some duct tape holding it together. It is currently suspended from my ceiling as decoration for my room but I have been given an ultimatum by my sexy bed-mate. "Get rid of that friggin tin foil ball or I'm not coming over anymore!" (She hits her head on it too much).

As much as I would like to move it elsewhere I have no storage space, but I don't want to get rid of it either. It's part of a deeply treasured memory... and for Cheeseincrusts sakes it's A GIANT ALUMINUM FOIL BALL!

We can only imagine that a good party was thrown, perhaps 'sexy bed mate' was a resulting new friend from said party, but, alas, there was a choice - sexy bed mate or foil ball. The ball had to go. The post has been updated since we first spotted it today. The ball has gone to a new home. It will be living with two nice cats. They've got to be pretty large cats (Ligers?) if they're going to do anything useful with an aluminum foil ball that size. If the cats won't play with it the new owner should be urged to take on a project. Somerville is birthplace of Fluff, perhaps you can add to the city's splendor by also making it home to the world's largest aluminum foil ball stealing the title from Temple City, California. The foil ball there is only about 3.6 feet around. Just put a post up on Craigslist to let us know where to send donations of foil.
