YSaC, Vol. 1458: An offer you can probably refuse.

2013 February 27

After two recliners in two days, I decided it was time for a theme! Recliner Week!

Then I couldn’t find any other recliner posts in our in box. So “recliner week” will henceforth be “Dan SITS in a recliner week.” Except that we don’t actually own a recliner.

Dammit.

OK, here’s a creepy “roommate wanted” ad instead.

free room [location, but misspelled]


Im a 21 year old male and my roomate is a 31 year old male. I have a 2 bedroom house with 2 car garage and im looking for an attractive female around my age to clean and sometimes cook and maybe have a lil fun. You would have to share a room with me or there is also a couch. But for your services I wont charge anything.

Let me get this straight – you are generously offering not to demand money for the great privilege of crashing on your floor, cleaning your house, and fending off your inept advances? That’s awfully.. um… generous of you.

Thanks for the post, David!

    Once again, Sparky provides more evidence that we men really know what’s important in a relationship…finding a woman for cleaning, sometimes cooking, and maybe (just maybe!) having a lil fun (like Monopoly?).

      Monopoly is not fun. There are GOOD board games out there.

        I can only think of a few games that are less fun to play than Monopoly.

        Several of them are those themed Monopoly sets.

        Monopoly is too fun!
        You just need to get that +2AC iron, or shoe (the battleship already has an AC, so it dont count).
        Rolling a D4S to be able to use the Cloak of Invisibility you won in the Community Chest (of Treasures!) is handy to Get Out of Jail, too.
        Helps to not have a Chaotic Neutral Banker when you need to swap EP for cash, though.

    Okay, Sparky but here are my rules:

    1. There’s a STRICT 9:00 p.m. curfew – no exceptions

    2. We have Bible study EVERY morning – 5:00 -7:00 a.m., no exceptions

    3. The cats – yes, I said ‘cats’, I have 7 – will have free run of the house at all times

    *inserts picture of hottest babe on the planet here*

    Here’s a picture of me…or at least it will be me in 4 more operations. You will be expected to help pay for them.

    I look forward to hearing from you! And for us starting this inspiring journey together!

    Sincerely,

    Pat

    No, no, no.

    You need a Magic Black Man (Don’t worry, it doesn’t need to BE Morgan Freeman, but it needs to be at least a Forest Whitaker), a chubby ineffectual friend with a jew-fro, and an overgrown man-child (facial hair is big this year- go for one with a FULL beard) before we’ll consider giving you a hot, subservient live-in girlfriend.

    Sheesh.

    You won’t charge her for cleaning your house? Is that like how artists and web design should be happy to do work for free so they can have a portfolio? Or how student teachers get to pay for the privilege of working at a school?

    “You would have to share a room with me or there is also a couch. But for your services I wont charge anything.”

    wont 3rd person singular present, past participle, past tense of wont

    Adj. (of a person) In the habit of doing something; accustomed.
    Noun One’s customary behavior in a particular situation: “Constance, as was her wont, left early”.
    Verb Make or be or become accustomed.
    Synonyms
    accustomed, habitual, usual – used – used to, habit, custom, practice, habitude, way, use – usage, accustom

    So, Sparky admits to being a layabout who expects others to provide remuneration for every need. So, probably, not only only will the putative cohabitrix be expected to cook, clean, shop, service, et al, but probably also owes Sparky’s delinquent half of the rent and bills . . .
    And, Sparky is also so dim as to not even reach for that nadir/zenith celebrated in song as “A rich, dumb, nymphomaniac in a Cadillac”?

    Ugh, I may not be having a Wonderful Wednesday . . . <sigh>

    You would have to share a room with me or there is also a couch.

    There is also a 31 year old male she could attach herself to. That may however get said older male kicked out, if in fact it’s the 21 year old who has the house and not the older guy. Older guy hopefully means more mature guy.

    Dude! You put an ad on craigslist for a free slutty maid.
