Adventures With Craigslist, Part Two

Oh, Charlotte Craigslist. What fun times we had last week, eh?

Thankfully, Mr. B and I found a home this week, so you don't have to worry about us showing up on your doorstep with suitcases in hand. (Don't care if you live in Britain, Norway or South Africa; if we hadn't found a home this week, we'd do it, I swear it.) But before I bid adieu to Craigslist, I thought I'd share a few more of the gems that our favorite catch-all site has to offer by way of housing.

First up, some fun with letters!

No Full Words Allow! (Click to enlarge all pics.)

Lynx outside door? That's hilarious, even if you know that the Charlotte area rail system is called LYNX for some odd reason Google doesn't want to explain. "Part Furn" amused me as well; initially thought it was a misspelling of "fern," and the home was partly one giant tree house. And really, Craigslist Poster, it does not take that long to type out the word "available." There is no word limit on these things -- you can add as many letters as you want.

For example?

Of course, Gastonia. I shoulda known.

Spoacious!
Spoacious broick roanch haome fooor roent!
Seeee? Thhe moore letttters thhhe betttter!

Noext Uop:

F**king Gastonia.
PERFECTO!

It's not just 6 asterisks and 3 question marks perfect -- it's PERFECTO! mugglefuckers. Oh, I can so dig it.

And last but not least:

Na-na-na-nananana-Batman!

Attention: Christopher Nolan. THIS is what is missing from the new Batman movie. A one-bedroom apartment for Bruce to crash out. The Dark Knight Rises -- on up to the east side, to that deluxe apartment in the sky!
Seriously, Nolan, there are Current Incentives. Holy Blinding Yellow Graphic! Hurry Nolan, you might miss out!
