fun with sublet listings...

i've been obsessively checking the craigslist philly sublet listings lately in search of a suitable dwelling for milo, kenobi, and me for the summer. some of the places seem good. others not so good. here are some quotes from some of the ads:

"You would have to be vacant by September 1st at the latest."

"Multiple rooms are available in this apartment, but each room is $600 each and prices are extremely FLEXIBLE."

"BE VERY CAREFUL OF THIS LADY CALLED LINDA. SHE WANTS TO RENT HER ROOM OUT BUT SHE IS A MANIAC AND HYSTERICAL AND SHE IS CRAZY. SHE IS DESPISED BY EVERYBODY IN HER LOCALITY AND SHE IS A HOOKER TOO AS PER THE LATEST INFORMATION. I JUST WANT TO CAUTION EVERYBODY. IN CASE U HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY HER, I WOULD ADVISE NOT TO RENT ANY ROOM IN HER HOUSE OTHERWISE U WILL FEEL "SORRY" FOR YOURSELF. STAY AWAY FROM HER AS FAR AS POSSIBLE OTHERWISE U MIGHT PUT YOURSELF IN A VERY BIG TROUBLE."

"Across the street is a shopping center with everything you would ever need!"

"Its large, fully furnished and has a very welcoming and homely feel to it.Ideal for anybody."

"I share my room with a roomate of mine and we live in the larger room with an attached bath. The other room is occupied by a single girl . Also there is another occupant in the living room."

"The room is extremely large (of all the room's I have seen in this area, this is the largest one)."

"seeking an open-minded female to share my room,bed in exchange for free rent in a beautiful apt-fully furnished, food, drink, pool, cable, internet "

perhaps needless to say, i didn't respond to any of these posts.
