Kirsten sends us this one, saying, “There was no picture with this ad. I guess this Craigslister was confident that her illustrative writing would give us a mental image of her junk pile.”
So here’s a contest: In one breath, read the above aloud as quickly as you can and see how far you get through it, and post your results.
They had me at “lots of crap oh”…
I got to “sit n spin.” I’m glad the horse hasn’t hurt her child. You’ve gotta look out for those creepy as hell toy horses.
Next up on the News at Six:
Moms addicted to speed, so they can stay up all night cleaning and posting ranting ads on craigslist!
Then we’ll hear from our expert about how this affects a Mom’s ability to use punctuation.
Jeebus. I think she was doing this on the sly to make sure her son didn’t find out she was getting rid of all of his stuff!
dafijkldkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
err…hi! i tried reading it in one breath but i must have passed out.
Geez! I only got to “would be good for a plant”, which, coincidentally is about where I stopped reading silently to myself as well.
(Without reading the comments below) I was already tired by the time I finished reading this. What is it about punctuation that tells your brain to pause and stop. Oh yeah, that’s the purpose. Carry on.
i got to “except to my 4-year old”. what is this horse that creeps the hell out of her, has damage but still works and has never hurt her son?!?! is this some demon toy horse?!
Good lord, I think the only period is in the email address! O.O
I think I had a stroke just reading it silently! Yeesh, hit the period once in a while, will ya? Oh, and I really want to see the horse!
I’m just amused that her child can’t get the concept of a Sit ‘n Spin.
Yeah, that nearly made my eyes bleed even just skimming it quickly.
I got to “becaust” before my brain did a double-take and I had to take a breath.
I think that her gynecologist told her, after she had her hysterectomy, that she would have no more periods. Perhaps she took him literally.
Is it a code?
I can only get to “the horse creeps the hell out of me” and I get tickled, so I have to take a breath.
My favorite phrase in this one has to be “the pig is a chair”! That sounds like some really deep phrase you’d have to decipher in a philosophy class or something.
LOL! that was awesome. i’m guessing the text was intended to be caption for pictures that didn’t come through? LOL I’d sure like to see that horse.
I almost made it! “The pig is a chair” is where I started gasping quietly to not burst out laughing and attract my boss’ attention.
I picture a harried mother, typing furtively in a dark room, glancing over her shoulder hoping her son’s possessed toys aren’t observing her attempt to pawn them off on some other innocent parent. The horse… it’s making noises…
I made it to Sponge Bob. I could probably do more if I hadn’t been chasing kids all day.
I could not complete at all.
In one breath? I am not trying even.
Maybe it’s just one BIG thing she’s selling….
If there are any ladies out there that DID complete the challenge, let me know.
Now, if that didn’t sound like a CL post, I don’t know what did.
I’m pretty sure my mum has the exact same creepy-as-hell rocking horse. Thing scared the shit out of me.
I got to “firewood the basket.” I also love this part: “the basketball hoop is ment for the pool but being as we dont have a pool where i live we just used it in doors inflates and folds up flat and twists up small some how no holes on ball and if it gets a hole it can easly be replaced by a beach ball just put it in the fabric cover the pirats of the carribean sleep over sleeping bag…”
… So… if my basketball gets a hole in it, I can just put a beach ball… IN a Pirates-themed sleeping bag… and it’ll be just like having another basketball? Think of all the money I could have saved!!
I’m months late, but I got to “exstendable handle” before my lungs gave out. I feel so accomplished!
I couldn’t get past “the horse creeps the hell out of me” without laughing.
“yes that IS a frog back pack”
Because it is so easy to confuse a frog back pack for other things…like, um….
So I got down to “Fire wood the basket” and my brain just exploded. My lungs were fine, but I could not physically comprehende it anymore.
And yeah, months late too. I don’t care.
I got to “they will love it no damage.” Apparently my speed-talking isn’t what it once was.
I’m wondering how she aquired like ten indoor out door not waer proof sponge bob tents. And how come she’s only getting rid of ONE of them? Are ten sponge bob tents too many, while nine are just enough?
No, that’s binary. They only have 2 tents.
I’m 2 tents after reading this. I’m not sure how she got through writing it if I just got a migraine trying to skim it.
I tried. I really did. I may be months behind, but I tried! I made it aaaaaaall the way to “the horse creeps the hell out of me” before collapsing from laughter. I could’ve gone farther; I still had breath, but it all came whooshing out in raucous giggles when I read that one line…
