Boy, I really hope I get this apartment. It comes with layered prunes! Most apartments, you have to layer your own prunes, and then when you move out your landlord charges you extra to have them removed.

I can’t wait to hear Monica or EclecticBlue sing/narrate this one. Especially the word 2zzMKffUjJn. I hear it as “twozzmikfujjn”, which I’m pretty sure is Norwegian for “I’m sorry, I just sat on your tarsier.”
Thanks, Katey and SisterLyle, or whatever she’s going by these days.
That’s where the lacawates vultrus-suka is from! It’s hard to get a place there. I’ve got to have that apartment! (Prunes and all.)
For the second one … I’m curious to know what search they think people are going to do to turn that up. Maybe: “I hear people who speak Gibberish have a lot of money. Let’s post the ad in that! We’ll make dozens of dollars.”
You can call me whatever you want, but some names will cost you more than others. *waggles owl-brows*
Corner? Damn.
1. Mmmm …. cherry veal!
2. Oh, yeah? Well, you can just 7beEHqX SEiF99G with an aepiSE09tesWO. So there.
but just one cherry and you have to teaspoon it into egg milk.
But first you have to milk the eggs – a good chef milks their own.
No thanks, Sparky McTuPzf zVaT.
I hear you can score a brand-new QKd1fHwu nnRCoPlxbD for $500 at the tiny English village May-Prunes-On-Layer.
It’s kinda hard to get to, but totally worth it.
First, get on the Place-Cook-Instead Expressway and go south. Take the One-Cherry-The-The-Veal exit (not to be confused with the One-Cherry-The-Veal exit, totally different) and drive through the village of Mix-Of-Fat. Now, right outside the village start looking for Hiemc-Uschm Road. Turn left and that’ll take you right into the village. See Mr. MKffUjJN at the Crust Little Milk Pub.
Oh, and while you are at the pub be sure to try their Oaw4GJ3A. I hear it’s delish!
But don’t go near the Oaw4GJ3A if you are lacawates intolerant.
Good safety tip, Smedley.
Thanks, Egon.
1. Nut sugar in the opening line can only bode ill.
2. Tarsier(s). The second “f” pluralizes.
I’m pretty sure Nut Sugar is IF’s Squirrel Nut Zippers cover band.
I dunno, it kinda made me think of Nutella. Mmmm… =)
Now I’m thinking of Nutella and cherries. Yum.
Have you ever had a pb&n sandwich? It’s like a CANDY BAR in a SANDWICH! =P
Tiny, I’ve had that on Saturday morning toast … there’s a reason I need to lose more weight!
*gets ingredients, follows recipe to the letter*
Oh God!
It brought Bin Laden back to life as a zomb-
I substituted raspberries for the cherry and got Amy Winehouse.
I used malted milk balls, spinach toothpaste, and diced onions and it made a kitty!
Our cat was made from Monster Energy Drink, ghosts, and a handful of gravel.
Sounds like one of mine, but I think some bits of glass got mixed in with the gravel. Firefly has lots of sharp pointy bits and isn’t shy about using them.
Serious question; what do those types of postings mean? What do they result from?
[corey] People write programs designed to automatically post craigslist ads to try to lure people to use their services (often through duplicity, much like email spam). These ads are the result of these “bots” not working quite as desired.
If you forget to close your corey tag, does that mean you have to be serious for the rest of the day?
As serious as one could be with jingly bits and a squirrel costume.
Close the tag! Close it! For the love of Jebus! Think of the children!
*spinkles birdseed around the missing tag*
Now, we wait and stew in our seriousness.
If you’re gonna be spinkling in the Lounge, put a tarp down first.
Mmmmm…serious stew. Delicious!
Serious stew flavored with just a hint of desperation and insouciance.
Taters with mine, please.
Serious stew, now with all-meat gerberts.
Now with jingly Taco bits…
It’s like a Happy Meal made of squirrel fur and nightmares.

Lets just pump that first one through the bad translator here:
It all makes perfect sense now.
That Candy sounds like a kinky gal.
Hey, look I got here in the morning! And off to the corner I go… *sings* the best part of waking up is coffee slices on a plate
Yay! Early morning Silva!
The coffee slices are still warm and crunchy this time of the morning.
And crusty little milk celeris?
Hi, Silva! Did you get up, or are you still up from before?
Still up from last night (not sure if an hour & a half nap inbetween really counts). I’m sure I’ll crash by the middle of the afternoon.
So what does a successful spambot posting look like?
[corey] A successful spambot posting looks like an actual Craigslist posting offering something people might actually want, with words that make sense. For instance, the first one has a title that makes sense; if the text actually made sense too, people might email the poster to find out about the (non-existent) townhouse, and then the poster would have a collection of email addresses to spam. [/corey]
A ‘successful’ spambot message will have a link embedded in it, the better to get people to link through.
Sometimes, all that is wanted is the traffic count from the link-through.
Other times, getting the target/mark to link to some site to then engage in malware or nefarious activity.
[/corey]
Oh, thank goodness, the Cap’n has closed Taco’s Corey tag. The universe is back in balance and Taco is silly again.
*Pours jm into his pants*
Hey, everyone! Let’s party!

Why do they put the insert key so close to the delete key anyway? By all rights, if key placement were related to usefulness of the key, the insert key should be located on the back of the computer under a plastic cover with a combination lock on it.
Bad Translator is IF’s Guided by Voices cover band.
My brain keeps trying to make the random letters in the second ad make sense and failing horribly.
:sniff-sniff:
Does anyone else smell smoke?
To me it sounds more like their cat rolled all over their keyboard
The cat rolled over the keyboard,
The cat rolled over the key board,
The cat rolled over the keeeey-BOARD!
And posted it on Craigslist.
Or should it be, And so say all of us?
So Say We All!
LRC
Listen…do you smell something?
I love this post and will be using it to learn more in my daily life. What web engin are you using? Would you please me know?*
*is that going to get me smacked by the Llamanun?
People, people! We’re playing with fire here! Taco didn’t close his Corey tag, Limelolly is tempting the spambots! We’re going to open a hole in the internets!
Ah! Pop-up ads are flying at my face!
I’m getting emails from Rush Limbaugh!
My screen is just one big ad for Groupon!
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!
There’s an a-hole in the internets! Oh, no, say it isn’t so!
The second one is a code. Let’s dig out the decoder ring and see what we’ve got here.
“Please help. Trying to cook up premium, pet-friendly apartment. Have veal. Please send egg milk.”
In Soviet Russia egg milks you!
I think the computers are communicating via Craigslist using secret code to discuss their plans for taking over the world.
Edit: Jinx, MandaB! Great minds think (in code!) alike.
Makes sense to me!
*readjusts tinfoil beanie*
Yes, yes, this is certainly something that brings to the surface my longings. In American it is not considered to be mentally ill when a woman advances on her prey in a discotheque setting with hardy cocktails present. And there is a more normal attitude toward leather play-toys that also makes my day.
Um, that sounds like a veiled put down. 🙂
*hides sexy monkey panties and banana toys*
Banana Daiquiris in the lounge – I’m buying……….

Sorry, Bianchi, but your post is a hard on to understand.
Try using smaller mugs to type with.

Theory: Bot #2 is attempting to mimic lolcat-speak.
Or TypoTaco has been mug-typing and sleep-posting on CraigsList again.

OT:
This is just a friendly PSA reminder. We do not need to repeatedly post or argue our point of view on PAN or other blog sites. If you can contribute to the comments as per their culture, feel free to do so.
We don’t like it when others come to our boards and try to argue with us, so please, let us extend the same courtesy to other boards.
It wasn’t me! It was the one-armed man!
I was dead at the time! I was on the moon. With Steve.
I confess… it was me.
I had to slap myself around a few times and threaten to break my fingers. (which in retrospect, probably would help me type better)
Ah, I’m sorry for starting it. I take full responsibility. I went over and apologized for how out of hand it got.
But, it doesn’t change my opinion that they used to have really well-timed comedy and snark in their comments, and now they are mostly whiny, too literal and boring.
Oh well, I guess I don’t have to read their comments any more. Such a shame though, and a waste of potential greatness.
How out of hand did it get? Do I need to apologize to Kerry? Do I have to get someone to watch you guys?
In my opinion, was not out of hand. Nothing ugly was said, but the potential for harshness was there.
Sorry, I seem to have stepped on your authority, drmk. I can stitch-witch that stuff back in…
What’s PAN? I actually have no idea what we’re talking about. I just wanted to throw in an Eddie Izzard reference.
Edit: Ooooh Passive Aggressive Notes? I never read the comment section anywhere but here at YSaC.
No, Ms. Llamanun, ma’am.
I was nowhere near there at the time and I have no idea how to make a stink bomb! The witnesses are lying! It was my evil twin!
Wait … what are we talking about?
I have cracked the Da Vinci code. Here is what the second ad says:
“46-inch LG LCD HDTV. Supports output up to 1080p. Works great, as you can see from the picture. Includes remote control and all cords, and the instruction manual if I can find it. Paid over $1200 new, asking $870. This is a great deal. Note, Wii and PlayStation 3 game consoles not included.”
Please do not ask me to explain how I deciphered this, or I will be forced to admit I made it up based on the picture.
Dang… you’re good.
My decoder ring was eaten by my catulator, and I only get one letter every 16 hours.
Accident and Monica, it figures you wouldn’t come around to see you were in the box today. Nonetheless, here are your Punchity Punch Punches!
G’Night, and domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
I totally expected all the comments to be:
ToV\wm”M alIE aOdw fEiesdkO WdhOwe,D
Y’know, that is way harder to type than one might expect!
