    It’s just a typical love letter, right? You know, the usual — hello, stuff, we moved, I miss jerking you off, write back, love … and then you get to the signature.

    Now, as Charlene points out, it’s probably a nickname for his girlfriend and their pet, “Buddy”, but STILL. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if a letter contains the phrase “jerking you off in the woods,” I personally wouldn’t want the word “Mom” being used anywhere near that.

    $500 Seeking Sane Straight White Male Roommate


    I am seeking a sane, white straight male roommate anywhere in the San Diego area. I will place rent in your hand every month, without fail, every month I will do this. In return I need a room in which I can have some peace and quite and get at the very least 8 hours of sleep at night. I sleep at night. I am a white, 36 year old straight white male. Here are the absolute necessities you need to know about me, I’m educated, ex-military, clean cut and very neat. I have a 125 IQ. I am an avid reader. I don’t use drugs of any kind. Coffee is my vice. I do not smoke. I am not wanted by the law. I am not married. I’ve never been married, don’t believe in it (Consult www.nomarriage.com for more data). I do not have children (I bring news of freedom!). I do not use prostitutes, however, I do date North American women from time to time out of pure necessity because of the available dating pool, no worries, for my own physical, financial and legal security I make absolutely certain it never lasts and I rarely bring them into the house. I do not have pets, but I do like all animals, except small monkeys, they tear things up on purpose, bite, deficate on things and generally act like North American women. They’re just weird. Most important I have $500 rent money to place in your hand on the first of the month, every month until Jesus, Buddah, Allah, Vishnu, Shiva, Jonathon Smith, Shangdi, Rama, Yahweh, Mohammad or whatever invisible man you pray to returns for the rent you think you owe him, or you want a different roommate. I will place the rent directly in your hand on the first of every month, unless I am dead or in a comma, in which case I will have it placed in your hand by one of my associates. I will also supply you with copies of my IDs and birth certificate upfront. A common scam now on Craigslist is that women who have run their husbands or boyfriends off and have a large rent or mortgage are auditioning boyfriends and potential husbands under the guise of the “roommate” needed posting on Craigslist. Nice try trying to kill two birds with one stone ladies, but the gig is up. Twice now I’ve moved in with a woman so we could be roommates, when they learn I don’t want to date them, marry them or sleep with them, then the deal is off and I’m out part of rent and/or a deposit. It was literally not within their sphere of capabilities to have rent placed in their hands and then leave me alone. I even had a female roommate one time that I did make the mistake of sleeping with and because of that, and the fact that I’m not fired up on the idea of marriage and kids, yep, I had to go. No win situation with these North American Gals. New rule: No more women roommates. I enjoy drinking a couple of beers on the weekend, some wine, and I like classical music and smooth jazz. My aim is simple, I want a roommate that will allow me to sleep at night and go to work and to the beach. I love to hang out at the beach and surf. I have NO drama in my life. It was years in the making but I finally achieved it. I will impinge NO drama on you and I expect the same in exchange for rent. If this sounds like a workable deal to you then contact me. If I have to put up with your insane girlfriend or her insane friends or an ex-wife harrassing you at the front door at 2 AM, or you chain smoke in the house or apartment, drop LSD or smoke dope and talk about the time you navigated an experimental spacecraft for NASA over the mediteranian in order to fight off alien invaders, or the time you survived a full on fire fight in Vietnam, or cry about your ex, or you want to convert me to any kind of Judeo-Christian religion in order to ensure your, or my, eternal place in paradise, or you are on anti-depreasants of any kind, you’re going through a nasty divorce, you’re gay or bi-sexual, federal agents are seeking you out for something you did 20 years ago, you’re into midget porn, you want to involve me in any kind of pyramid scheme or multi-level marketing scheme to assist in supporting the kids you get to see twice a year and make a little money on the side for myself; I have plenty of money to support my lifestyle, and plenty of things to work on that keep me busy, thanks, if you want me to be a guest speaker at your Alcoholics Anonymous wednesday night meeting, or attend your bi-monthly “Survivors of Throat Cancer” support group with you, attend church services with you, I mean anything that is indicitive of any kind of weird self-created drama that I will have to experience myself at one time or another as a result of renting a room in your home, other than the normal arbitrary nonsense life throws at us guys, then NO DEAL. I am NOT jumping on any bandwagons with you and I will never ask you to either. I WILL clean up after myself, take the trash out, keep the place clean and keep the noise down, be gone during normal business hours most days, in fact there may be many days that pass that you do not even see me, this was a concern to my female roommates for some reason, but If I did some work from home for a day or two, that was a concern as well, you follow? Most important and most overlooked…. I will pay you rent on the 1st of every month. I don’t do deposits, been burned twice now by women. These women think they are running apartment complexes with benefits. If you have a deposit, consider my deposit to you for you getting such a great solid roommate $5 higher than yours, so you owe me 5 bucks right off the bat and I’ll take that off my first months rent. No deposit, no problem and you don’t owe me that 5 spot. I don’t do contracts either, you are not a corporation, neither am I. If I wanted a contract I would get an overpriced apartment downtown on my own. That way, the day you decide you don’t want a roommate or that you are moving , or I decide I need to go live on an island, grow a beard and drink coconut milk to survive then I can leave without any…. you guessed it, drama. I am not 17 years old, I do not punch holes in the walls, set fires in the living room or conduct down range target practice with BB guns in the kitchen while you are at work so no need for a deposit. I pay you rent on arrival, I keep paying rent every month on the 1st, we’re both happy. The day I do not pay you rent that I owe you, you have my express permission to place all of my belongings in a neat pile in your backyard or street and light them on fire, except for my wetsuit and surfboard, I’ll need those, call me on my cell phone first though as I will bring it to you ASAP and place it without any detour into your hand. I want to work, sleep, make money, produce and go to the beach and enjoy life on the west coast. Let me close by further clarifying the word roommate for us both. Room.Mate /ˈrumˌmeɪt, ˈrʊm-/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [room-meyt, room-] Show IPA -noun: a person who is assigned to share or shares a room or apartment with another or others. Origin: 1780–90, Americanism; room + mate. Now put that definition into your own words, use it in some sentences until you feel you have a firm grasp of it and lastly look up the derivation of the word in a dictionary so you can see it’s original meaning from Late to Modern Latin. It seems I am the last of a dying breed folks, I know there are other North American Men left out there like me that need or want a good solid roommate. Let me hear from you. Thanks – John xxx.xxx.xxxx or email at xxx_xxxxx_xxxxxxx@hotmail.com

    I’d say something witty, but I think he used up all the words. It’s rather a lot of drama to explain that he’s not into drama, isn’t it? And this is just the “absolute necessities” that you need to know about him … imagine what else there is!

    This is my favorite part:

    “I do not have pets, but I do like all animals, except small monkeys, they tear things up on purpose, bite, deficate on things and generally act like North American women. They’re just weird.”

    Just your daily dose of misogyny and homophobia, with a wee bit of racism thrown in for good measure. But at least he isn’t into drama.

    Heather sends this in, saying, “I was looking for a place to hold my spongs! There is actually a group of three posts from the same person; this one isn’t even the worst one.  I selected it for the spong factor.”

    She’s right. The other two ads are below the cut. I’ve cut out the “businesses” hours, but they are also open on Thrusday.

  • YSaC, Vol. 280: It’s not just Craigslist, apparently …

    … people suck at other online classifieds, too. Witness this post on Kijiji, a Canadian classifieds:

    GREAT DEAL, MUST SELL ASAP

    Price: $250.00

    Ad ID: 1xxxxxxx

    Visits: 226

    14 YEAR OLD DEAF WHITE CAT. SPAYED AND SHOTS ARE UP TO DATE. 2 DIFFERENT COLOR EYES. WARNING: ONLY LIKES TO BE PET ON THE HEAD, DO NOT TOUCH HER BODY.  GREAT DEAL, ONLY SELLING BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE HER AS MUCH AS I USED TO. VERY SMART AND SNEAKY CAT, WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO SINGLE MEN’S HOMES. SHE IS VERY POLITE. GIVE HER A CHANCE. ALSO YOU CAN RENAME HER BECAUSE SHE IS DEAF.  ONLY REPLY IF YOU WILL FEED HER SOFT STUFF.
    280f

    *bangs head against computer*

    Apparently this person is used to shouting at their deaf cat — that would explain the all-caps posting. As for the rest of it … apparently the cat is very polite AND very sneaky. She’s politely sneaky. Unless you touch her body, in which case she apparently turns into a whirling dervish of epic proportions.

    And does this person really think they’re going to get $250 for a 14-year-old cat? And that that’s a “great deal”? At that age, their warranty has pretty much expired. Yeah, sure, cats can live into their 20s sometimes, but that’s the exception. At 14, you’re pretty much dealing with a geriatric cat. (Suddenly, in my head, the cat has the voice of Abe Simpson.)

    There’s a bit of a disconnect between “MUST SELL!” and “Only selling because I don’t like her as much as I used to.” I mean, both are asshat-worthy, but tell a different story.

    You know, I don’t like my brother as much as I used to, either. I wonder if I could sell him? Oh, but he’s not deaf, so you couldn’t rename him. And he doesn’t eat only soft stuff.*

    *Full disclosure: I don’t actually have a brother, but if I did, I’m sure this guy would seriously consider selling him.

    Searching for a vampire – m4m


    So I’m in desperate search of a vampire. Its been 19 long years and through all my effort to find one, you all still seem to evade me. Though I’m truly not surprised at all. I mean I know that you guys generally don’t associate with humans and view us rather as prey, but I had hoped that I would have ran into at least one of you by now. Guess, If you guys don’t want to be found you wont. I’m particularly sure that my search was unsuccessful because I manly searched in the day and lord knows you guys hate the sun. I would have searched at night but I have to sleep and I think I would like rather suspicious roaming dark alleys,tunnel ways,and god knows what other sources that hold the dark well at 3am. So I think this is my last resort. If your a vampire please,please contact me! Male or female is fine.
    I no longer wish to be a pathetic human. I want to become a child of the night. I know the transition of going from human to vampire can be rather difficult. From being bite, dying, reawakening as a child of the darkness,getting used to your fangs, so on and so fourth. But I’m very willing to go through it all to shed this pathetic existence as a mortal. I’m willing to leave my family,friends,and old life behind to become one of you. I’m thinking that perhaps you can bite me in my house, and while I’m passed out, put my body in the shower and turn it on. Maybe that way it will look like I slipped,fell,and died. Then call 911 and alert the police.(Your a vampire so its not like any human will be able to trace the call back to you,let alone find you). They take my body to the morgue,put me in the fridge,have my funeral a few days later and you come that night and dig me back up. Hopefully I should be awake by then.(How long does it take for the whole vampire process to be complete. Is it instantaneous?) I figure a proper funeral will give my family some closure,rather than me just disappearing.
    I also don’t have a lot of money,so I’m probably going to have to take my coffin with me, so I’ll have somewhere to sleep in the day(unless we just wonder from place to place). I figure a good source of payment for having to go through all of this will be you biting me and having a free meal of my blood. I really would like to follow you for a few months so I can get the do’s and dont’s of our lifestyle. I’ve heard its hard out there for a new vampire on his own. So If you think you are able to help me out please contact me. I’m sure you can find me no problem.

    P.S- If you turn into a bat to get into my house,please fly upstairs and into the room on the left and just hang on the wall till I get home. Nobody goes in there and MAKE SURE ITS THE ROOM ON THE LEFT! If my aunt sees you, she will literally have a heart attack and hit you with a broom.

    Yep, the whole “having to sleep” thing really puts a crimp in your vampire-searching style, doesn’t it?

    I think the worst part about becoming a vampire would be the “getting used to your fangs” part. I mean, you’d be biting your own lip all the time, and you’d have to wait for the calluses to build up on your cheeks like when you get braces for the third time because you never wore your retainer.

    I wonder if vampires ever have to get braces to keep their fangs straight? There must be vampire orthodontists. Nothing would be worse than a vampire with an overbite.

    Unless it’s being a vampire and being hit with a broom. Thank goodness our poster thought of that contingency and warned against it. It’s the ROOM ON THE LEFT, for heaven’s sake!

    I think someone’s been reading a little too much of the Twilight series. Here’s something I don’t get — how come Buffy never shows up in the Twilight series? I mean, she’s a vampire slayer, right? SHE’S SUPPOSED TO SLAY VAMPIRES. What, just because Willow has a new gig, she’s not fighting evil anymore? … Or maybe Neil Patrick Harris is really a vampire, and Willow is just biding her time until she can slay him. Okay, that makes sense.

    Well, about as much sense as this Craigslist post, anyway.
