Katana update

There have been some negotiations with the seller of the Sword / Katana Rack (Black). Their emails are labeled SKRB, ours FOCL.

SKRB

Haha, epic fail, you couldn't touch my Katana. The Katana's were obviously just to show how its meant to be used. And I train in Tsuruoka Shotokan, and would destroy you.

FOCL

Fail??? Do you mean fail as in "I have failed by letting an eighth level Shoa Lynn master see my inferior katana"?

SKRB

Wow, you really are obsessed with yourself. I hope one day you'll learn that its not about being bettter, but growing up may be a bit too much to ask from you.

FOCL

Fear is a natural response.

SKRB

More like pity in your case

Please send a video demonstrating your abilities.

Sword / Katana Rack (Black) - $10

Sword / Katana Rack (Black)

En garde!

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the sword/katana rack http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/fuo/1086874632.html . You made the mistake of putting up a photo of it with your katana on it. You may as well just put up a sign saying "Come take my sword/katana stand because my katana is of such low quality that I can't defend it". If I were to show up with my katana (or even just my tachi!) I could cut your katana into a million pieces. But that may be because I have an 8th level black belt in Shoa Lynn.

If you need to hire my security services just let me know.

Tired of going to strangers' basements for CORALS - $3

Tired of going to strangers' basements for CORALS

Hi,

I saw your ad on Craigslist "Tired of going to strangers' basements for CORALS" http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/hsh/1085203140.html . FREAKING TELL ME ABOUT IT MAN!

Sometimes all I want is a simple Pink Staghorn or Sea Whip and I wind up traipsing around some basement with some 45 year old dude named Snakebite who lives with his mom and brags that he doesn't have a bedtime so it is still pretty "boss". Then he makes you look at how many hit points his mage has acquired since he found that new book of spells before you are even allowed to see the coral. But then he does bring out the coral... and OH WHAT A CORAL it is. The darkest Pink Staghorn you ever saw man, polyps so big the basal plate bows under their weight. Sea Whips so long the hydrozoa which are known to live among its branches look as small as bryozoa. Where does Snakebite get these specimens?? Then when you get home with your coral you wonder if it was all just a dream...

Later,

***MEDIEVIL WEAPONS***

Hi,

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the Medievil Weapons http://calgary.en.craigslist.ca/for/1074550371.html . You say that you are selling "a 'smaller' size ordament crossbow, a sword( well over 4ft), a turtle and a pihranna." All of these sound great!

I was just wondering if the picture on the bottom is the smaller' size ordament crossbow, the sword( well over 4ft), the turtle or the pihranna.

Cheers,

PS: Not everyone knows that turtles and pihranna where used as weapons in medievil times.

apartment needed in exgange for french conversation

Bonjour,

I saw your ad on craigslist for the apartment needed in exgange for french conversation http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bar/1071501179.html . This sounds like a great deal, all I have to do is pay your rent and you will talk to me???? I feel like I would be taking advantage of you. Maybe you should drive my car too, just to make it fair.

Avec mes meilleurs salutations,

Nautical Theme Key Holder - $5

FOCL
Ahoy!
I was your ad on Criagslist for the Nautical theme key holder http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mss/hsh/1076107000.html. I am in the market for a new key holder and this looks like it could be the one. I especially like how wonderfully nautical it is. I assume you have been storing boat keys in it (what else would you put in it? It is SO nautical). Anyway just wondering if you could send me a few pics of it with some boat keys in it so I can get a feel for how it works.

Thanks.

Response
Would you like to pick up the item this evening?

FOCL
Would you like to send me a photo of it with some boat keys in it?

Response
As mentioned I no longer have a boat therefore no keys.

FOCL
Actually, I don't think I would recognize boat keys anyway. So just use any keys and I will "assume" that they are boat keys WINK !

PS: DO NOT use bicycle lock keys, I know what those look like.

Response
Sorry I do not have any keys.

FOCL
NO KEYS???
I guess that explains why you are selling the key holder.Do you know anyone that has keys you could borrow for a few minutes?

Do you live in futuristic house in which everything is voice activated including the locks and car? If so, are you worried that your exact-voice-double is walking through the streets yelling "Unlock front door!" and "Start car!", and that one day he/she will walk by your house and you will lose all of the futuristic beeping items that you have worked so hard to acquire?

Sorry to make you worry but I think that these are things you should consider.Anyway let me know about the photo with borrowed keys -- hopefully of the boat variety :)

Response
Friends do not have keys either, we are all minimalists

Do you want it or not?

FOCL
While I do not doubt that you and your friends do not have keys, I don't think that I would call a group of people with voice activated cars and front doors "minimalists".

OK, how about just a reasonable drawing of a boat key taped to it?
Then I will buy it FOR SURE!!
