YSaC, Vol. 255: Exactly how many choirs are there?

2009 March 30
by drmk

$1 Feamle roomy needed.


I’m a Male in my 30’s, in need of a Female room mate, 19 to 27, Free rent and a car, keep the house clean and do the choirs. Plus a few things more ( Personal.)
No Drugs, No Drama. U must send a Picture or a Myspace link.
I just don’t have the time to do anything. Just work too much.
Tell me a bit about you, to insure it’s not spam mail.

You mean, more personal than doing the choirs? How many people are in each choir? I mean, if it’s the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to keep the house clean.

I think this one needs a translation. Here’s how I’m reading it — anyone got a better translation?

I’m a male in my 30s who is incapable of forming or maintaining a meaningful relationship. I’m looking for a female with low self-esteem who will act like my mother during the day and a sperm receptacle in the evenings. I will maintain that this is a business relationship so that when I get bored of you I can toss you away like garbage. Oh, but I’m shallow, so you should be hot.

    I’m intrigued by the cutoff age. Why 27? What happens on a woman’s 28th birthday that makes her ineligible for a few things more (personal)?

      Um…she’s 2 years shy of Thirty, not 3?

      Sometimes, I get the feeling that life is really, REALLY screwed for a female on the up side of thirty (I am 44). Young dudes want young women. Older dudes want young women. Whereas a lot of younger women actually want an older man, especially if said older man is “financially solvent”. Is this all because women have that “menopause” thing, and guys don’t?

      Or have I just been reading too many Craigslist ads and dating site profiles lately, and am somehow getting a skewed view of reality? Is this auto-filing of middle-aged females into the mental circular file something only asshats do, or is this universal?

        Of course, older women also go for younger men, and often younger men look for older women. There’s someone out there for everyone. Just… don’t look on Craigslist….

    I agree that the translation is spot on. Which means it should also get the “unrealistic expectations” tag.

    “Low self-esteem,” “sperm receptacle” and the implication of being tossed away at any time automatically comes with lots and lots of drama prior to the garbage phase.

    Oh, this sounds so much like a Harlequin Romance! Single, busy successful guy is advertising for a housekeeper who will also do his, uh, personal correspondence, maybe. He doesn’t want to be saddled with anyone who uses drugs, and those drama majors from City University are really too unreliable.

    Nah. Your scenario is better. And more accurate.

    your translation sounds just about perfect.

    I suggest you build a CL filter for others that are not so fluent in CL-speak. You would make a fortune!

    That Jerod is a genius! There should def. be a sperm receptacle tag. And if someone on CL would readily admit to looking for a sperm receptacle? I would think we could muster enough support for a booby prize.

      That’s, um, not really where the sperm are supposed to go. That would get the “UR doin it wrong” tag.

    i’m late to the party, but i believe that what this gentleman is interested in is called a “wife” in many parts of the world and was in fact considered a perfectly good definition of “wife” in this country as well until say, the 70s. guess this guy just missed out on the last 40 years or so. which for your average craigslist denizen isn’t too bad considering how often “no black people,” etc shows up on this site…

    And I put a “no drugs” tag on my ad, because I don’t want my girlfriend^H^H^H^H^Hoops, I mean “roommate” getting high on anything but me. Or she might get too stoned, and only get as far in her choir-doings as the altos…leaving the sopranos still in need of being done.

    Now I wish I were a roomy feamle, 19-27, so I could get in on such a great deal. After all, anyone who would run an ad like that must be a total prince of a man who also looks like Sean Connery, right?

    Obviously, this ad was placed by a leprechaun who is 30″ tall. Since there are no female leprechauns, he is searching for a lady elf no taller than 27″ in height. (Even short short men have size issues, it seems.)

    A leprechaun’s work is exhausting what with guarding his riches, constantly searching for the end of the rainbow and, on occasion, making a pair of shoes. They are very thrifty and also hard workers, so he is looking to offer a fair trade to his potential forest-mate. She can live in the base of the tree with him rent-free as long as she keeps the fairy dust to a minimum, keeps the sugar plum choir tuned up and polishes his gold frequently.

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    “sperm receptacle”

    Sparky: If you move in with me, you get sperm, free rent, a car and sperm.

    Female: But I don’t want any sperm.

    Sparky: Ok, You can have free rent, a car, a men’s choir, and sperm, that hasn’t got much sperm.

    Female: That’s got even more sperm.

    Sparky: That’s not as much sperm as sperm, free rent, a men’s choir, a car, a football team and sperm now is it?

    Choir: Sperm, sperm, sperm, sperm, wonderful sperm!

    Female: Shut up! I don’t like sperm!

    Sparky: Do you have a friend that does?

    Like there are any 19-27 y/o still on myspace even three years ago.

    Sparky is watching all too much hentai is my guess, and assumes all wimmins is 16-19 and eager to don portions of skimpy French-maid attire and do (personal.) stuff willingly, eagerly, and in wholesale lot batches.

    Hikikomori Sparky needs to stay in more.

    I know this just might sound shady,
    but I want a live in lady.
    One that’s young and hot and not to tame.
    I am looking for some fun,
    so I hope that you’re the one.
    To do the choir and for me do the same.

    I’ve been working hard at my career.
    I haven’t time for drama here,
    or drug addicts, for that you couldn’t blame.
    I can offer you a car.
    And free rent here thus far.
    Just guarantee that you will not be lame.

    You may be right
    you like me maybe.
    Because it just might be a playboy that you’re looking for.
    Check out my house,
    and live here baby.
    You may be wrong for all I know
    but you may be right.

    You found me in a Craigslist ad.
    So you must really want me bad.
    You probably been looking for awhile.
    You were lonely for a man.
    You should get me while you can.
    Not many girls can resist all this style.

    Now think of all the freebies you get.
    It won’t cost you anything yet.
    You can even dress like a french maid.
    So why not take the chance,
    I would like to see you dance.
    If you do real good you might even get paid.

    You may be right
    to live here baby.
    It just might be a sugar daddy you’re looking for.
    We could be tight,
    come on and join me.
    You may be wrong for all I know
    but you may be right.

    Because the Llamanun’s wish is my command, I hereby present my translation of Sparky’s ad:

    I have so little experience of women that I cannot even spell female. So I am posting an ad on Craigslist in the pathetic belief that my completely lame ploy has any possible chance of the result I imagined when I was touching myself in the bathtub.
    I’m a complete loser in my very late 30′s, in need of losing my virginity, and have so little self-awareness that I believe I can be picky here and specify an age range. You can live with me in my dank basement studio apartment and use my 1973 Toyota Celica if you keep the apartment clean and do all the rest of the stuff my Mom did when I lived at her house until 2 months ago. Plus of course, you have to let me see your boobs. Heh-heh. Heh-heh. Boobs.
    No Drugs, No Drama. Because I have never even smoked a cigarette and wouldn’t have the first clue how to deal with someone who is more sophisticated or experienced than that, plus loud noises scare me and make me need to use my inhaler. U must send a Picture or a Myspace link. Because I expect to have my mailbox stuffed with pictures of pretty ladies, and hopefully some will send pictures where I can see their boobs. Heh-heh. Heh-heh. Boobs.
    I just don’t have the time to do anything. Just work too much. Now that I got my own “pad”, I realize that Mom must have been cleaning and shopping and doing my laundry and setting out my jammies at night and my clothes in the morning, and cutting the crusts off my PB&J sammitches and stuff. But I have to work 38 shifts a month at Taco Bell to afford this basement studio, plus I have no idea how to do any of that stuff (hell, I didn’t even know someone had to DO it, I thought it just happened).
    Tell me a bit about you, to insure it’s not spam mail. Because I expect that now my mailbox is going to be filled with dirty emails like those letters in the back of Uncle Fred’s nudie magazine that I saw once.
