Craigslist

If anyboy is still actually reading this, I've got a good one today. Now, just to temper expectations a bit, this isn't a FREAKOUT. It's just kind of well me being a bit of a jack-ass and heckling Bob a little bit, but hey...he kind of deserves it from time to time.

This morning Bob came into work and let me know that he had advertised his room on Craiglist because he's trying to find someone to rent it out after he moves. (Bob lives in a group house..and no not the kind for people on the short bus...but maybe that would suit him better) Well I decided that I wanted to see what kind of an add Bob would post on Craigslist, so I spent some time this morning trying to find it...and what do you know?...I did!

I figured what better way to spend a Thursday morning while the bosses were out of the office than inquireing about renting the room from Bob. One new (and fake named) hotmail account later and here we go....

Here's what we got so far

To Bob:

I am interested but can i come over and spend a night with you before just to see if i like the place? Maybe you could be the big spoon? Also would it be possible to bring a pet of the barnyard nature?
Thank you.
George

Still no response, so another e-mail to Bob:

I was hoping to hear back from you shortly...is there a specific type of barnyard animals that would perhaps be acceptable? Goats, or an Emu maybe? What about a Lama?

About an hour later I finally got a response:

Sorry dude, I was lying about having a room available. It doesn't seem like you'd fit in anyway, but we'd be willing to explore a shelter arrangement for your animal.

What a bummer, he didn't want to rent me the room so I wrote back:

Why would you lie about having a room available? That is quite troubling to me, I would enjoy living on the U-Street Corridor and thought your groupe home sounded fun. I also have access to several hamsters that I could bring with me. They enjoy watching tv and I'm sure would make a great addition to the theater room you mention.

I'm still awaiting his response...
