We’ve had a few walls-o-text recently. This is not that.

taken


Taken

Yes, this is the entire ad.

I think it’s taken. However, I’m not taken with it. Maybe this poster should take five, take a breather, take some time, and do a retake? Unless it’s just a mis-take. I suppose I shouldn’t insult them, they may know Take-kwan-do.

I should stop now.

Thanks, Kim!

    At least you left us some snark. I hate when I get here and it’s all taken.

        Ah, Alex, that would be “Who is Daniel Day Lewis in the best, historically-accurate, beautifully-dramatic, movie made from the precis of the abstract of the Cliff’s notes of a [good] American novel?” for $200, please.

      C J..I actually got shivers from that last “But I WILL find you.” Great typing. (It may even give me nightmares.)

        🙂 I was doing my best Liam Neeson in my head as I typed. I love that movie.

          Well, you nailed it. Although, the term “love” and that film is a little strong.

          Oh I agree with CJ; love is definitely the word for that movie. Especially when the daughter realizes Daddy has come to save her!

          C’mon Windrose… it’s only on the FX channel like every-other day. But I think the daughter is more impressed when daddy introduces her to the famous singer-chick. Remember, he only rescued her from a sea cruise with her wealthy middle eastern oil baron host.

    So instead of clicking one simple button, Sparks here went through the laborious task of editing AND successfully hit the elusive F5 key. Well played, sir, well played.

    We were trying to find a decent new otterman for our house today on Craiglist, but apparently everything there is already spoken for.

    Personally, I’d probably make some kind of note to dis-include all the missed connections ads before I made a sweeping declaration that I’m going to take everything.

      I love that new show on A&E, “Otter Wars.” It’s about all the trials and tribulations of ottermen on the open sea and the rocky shores. Although they often can’t find a decent otterman to follow around.

        If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my otter costume fighting for the cause.

    All Sparky has to offer is this small taken of his affection. And this other one.

    Is it “taken” or “Taken”? Sparky needs to clean up his capitalization or risk a citation from the Syntax Police.

      When I posted the above, a message said I have to wait while the post is being moderated.
      I’m so glad I wasn’t being too extreme.

    I don’t have money. I don’t have a red table. What I do have is a very particular set of skills, and typing Craigslist ads is not among them.
