YSaC, Vol. 1628: George seeks Ursula

$400 Female to share 1bdr condo with mature male


Mature male seeking female to share 1bdr condo. Have 2 cats, birds – Utilize full use of condo-twin beds – Must be open minded, platonic living arrangements. Fully furnished. Seeking companionship more than a roomate. Heading into retirement.

There’s really only one thing that bothers me here: He mentions having cats and birds. He says nothing about beagles. Meaning the dogs in picture two are stuffed. So he’s got Fido and Rover preserved in the den. That’s a little creepy.

Everything else seems perfectly normal to me – who’s ready to move right in?

Thanks for the link, Jen!

    “$400 Female”? C’mon, Spark’ at least go for OBO, you do not want to miss out on that $415 chika-chicka-bow-wow . . .

    Not real sure just what dimensions a “condo-twin” bed might have. Given that only one bed is shown in the photos the possibility that con-dominion use of the bed is meant is frightening. Given the decor, equally frightening is the possibility that “condor bed” was actually meant, too.

      Hopefully the call “Free Willie!” is never heard…

    I’d like to apply please.

    There are three immediate questions I have, (1) why does every photo have the tag ‘jungle’, (2) do you supply sunglasses? and (3) can you confirm that the phrase ‘heading into retirement’ is not a euphemism for ‘you will never be sen again by any of your friends and loved ones once you’ve ulitized full use of condo twin beds’?

    Many thanks for your kind consideration of my application which I’m sure will be one of many*

    * this may or may not be true

    Sincerely yours

    Who did the interior design of this condo? Aslan?

    Here are my questions before I sign on the dotted euphemism.

    1. Are your kidneys in good working order?
    2. Does your refrigerator have an ice maker?
    3. How much is your pension from retirement going to be?

    Sincerely,

    Widow Black

      Oh, thanks! You’re going to make me put myself in the box today. And I have stuff to do! At least I can redecorate while I’m in there. Now, this dolphin will look terrible over the bar, and this stuffed dog will give the fireplace a mildly creepy tone.

    SC and ghostie, do forgive me for leaving you in the box over the weekend. It seemed the thing to do at the time. So does this. Punchity Punch Punch!

    Good Morning, HomeFinders!

    Walking through forests of palm tree apartments —
    Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
    Down with their stuffed beagles — drunk every Friday —
    In their twin beds — saving their dinettes for Sunday.
    Lions and eagles adorn the wallpaper —
    So come to my condo and join in the caper.

    Let’s bungle in the jungle — well, that’s all right by me.
    I’m a lion when I want love,
    But I’m a deer if we disagree.

    David Attenborough voice over:
    And here we see the middle aged creepster in his native environment. Surrounded by huge fatheads of majestic animals in what we are assured is a condo, although this is generally a euphemism for “my mother’s basement.” He is in desperate search of a life mate to enjoy the feeling of the great outdoors without ever actually leaving ones “condo”.

      Definitely not mothers basement, rather this is clearly creepy cabin in the deep and dark woods. Actually looks rather like several cabins scattered throughout Alaska.

      Well, dolphin erotica is generally much tamer than shark erotica. Much less bloody.

        I never thought that I could look at an amoeba and legitimately go, “Okay, what the hell?”

    At least Pee-Wee finally redecorated his playhouse. All those puppets and talking furniture were just plain creepy. Makes it hard to have women over.

        I’m pretty sure the condo, much like its owner, has never known a woman’s touch.

    Which came first – running out of flat surfaces to plaster with images of wildlife or running out of pictures of wildlife to plaster on flat surfaces?

      I choose a third option:

      Running out of condo to adorn with mildly creepy decorations.
