When you view a Craigslist item, the city of listing is there. So, even though I don’t live right in Bumfuck, which is the listing city, my individual listing says Buttcrack.

… 🆒

You live in Buttcrack? That is toooo cool! Do you know Harvey Wong? He owns a bar in Bumfuck. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn]  
We were looking at ads for washers and dryers. Nine times out of ten, they didn’t state if the dryer was electric or gas in the ad. Fuckers.  
[/QUOTE]  
I apologize! I didn’t even know dryers came in gas or electric! It’s since been rectified.

Idiot in my town offers “gold and blue macaw”. For those not familair with these, they are large expensive birds who can live for 80 years. They are a MAJOR investment in time and expense and are not a pet to just get on a whim.

Here is the ENTIRE text of his ad:

“for more in get back”

:rolleyes:
