Too funny. I like this:

"Deadbeat bidders will be tracked down and dealt with to the full extent of the law – preferably 1600’s European Feudal System where hanging of criminals and chopping off of body parts was acceptable – or whatever State & Federal Laws are applicable and P.C. at this time.

Remember that I have friends in low places . . . . "


Oh, what kills me if he kicks her and her Fat A$$ son out she'll probably end up winning a palimony suit.

(Assuming the story is true)

What kind of moron buys a car for a g/f?

What kind of moron lets a g/f and slacker kid > 18 move into his house?

Finally, what special celestial event transpired such that one particular MegaMoron does both of these things?

And what made such a moron finally realize that he'd been screwed (or in this case, not screwed), and he should do something about it?

If I promised him sex everyday, do you think he'd buy me a car too?

Just a little P.S., what man that has even the slightest knowledge of women would believe the claim, "I'll give it to you whenever you want"? Does that woman exist? Certainly not within the bounds of marriage, I know that for sure.

That ad's a bunch of bull. He sounds like he's in his 20's but has a finicky g/f that won't "give it up" and has a 19 yr old, 300 lb son? He's just telling a long, drawn out fable to get people to forward his listing all over the internet.


And it's working too.

I thought something similar. However, as of this minute...
.
Time left: 2 days 2 hours
7-day listing, Ends Mar-27-05 12:00:00 PST
Start time: Mar-20-05 12:00:00 PST
History: 0 bids
.
...doesn't seem to be working. Entertaining though.

The ad says it's in Hartselle, AL. That's about 25 minutes from me. He's probably telling the truth. Pretty normal for around here...

Pretty funny stuff. He is getting some publicity which will help sell the car.
