The guy with the trains and imitation crab meat is still my favorite, but this one is hilarious.

Groucho · 04-25-12, 08:26 PM

Amazing.

Supermallet · 04-25-12, 08:36 PM

That's pretty great.

cardsfan111 · 04-25-12, 08:51 PM

Nicely done.

wtf is a Jo and wtf does it mean that it's on HO scale?

Cusm · 04-25-12, 09:46 PM

Jack off; HO is a scale of model trains.

cungar · 04-25-12, 09:57 PM

I still can't get over the guy claiming he's 48. He looks like 65.

This is why you cut and paste stuff.

Useless thread. Bravo!

Vibiana · 04-26-12, 08:48 AM

Blown head gasket and all, I wanna buy this car just so I can drive it off a cliff with every woman in the world piled into it, like "Thelma and Louise."

glassdragon · 04-26-12, 08:58 AM

Here is what it was

Spoiler:

Took a minute to find it.

twikoff · 04-26-12, 09:00 AM

d2cheer · 04-26-12, 09:00 AM

All women since the dawn of 1995??? That only makes them 17 and NOT women!! Could be looking for trouble there.

Maybe it was unflagged because I can see it.

Ah, a fellow dweller of Snohomish County, WA. If I ever sell my car, I'll ask him for a write up.

Mabuse · 04-26-12, 12:22 PM

I was selling a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria on Craigslist and I wrote a "funny description" that quoted the Blues Brothers. All the stuff about it having "cop shocks, cop motor, etc". Despite how "hip" the Craigslist crowd is supposed to be I don't think anybody got the joke. After re-listing it three times with the Blues Brothers jokes I took the jokes out and the car sold in 2 days. The jokes scared buyers off.

Then again this guy is selling a 15 year old car for $700

mhg83 · 01-02-13, 06:20 PM

found this funny for some reason:

Is it time to take down the tree yet? - m4m - 45

Do you have your Xmas tree still up? Do you need help taking it down or wrapping decorations and putting them away?

I can help you with all of that while I'm Naked.

Maybe you need to put things away that require a ladder, I can help with that as well.

If your interested, tell me where your located and what you need done.
