13 March 2008

I've decided to move to Manhattan, and this is where I'm going to live [More:]Text of the ad, in case it gets flagged down:

I am an elderly lady, in my 70's. I am looking for someone lovely to live in the second bedroom(lovely people only). I am not thrilled about living with someone but I could use the extra cash. I have only one rule. You must wear a belt I designed that has bells all over it. I do this so I know when you are in the appartment and where in the appartment you are.

If you have friends over, they must wear the device as well. I only have 2, so no more than 1 friend over.
That would be fun... for about a week.

Hilarious. Show up wearing a cat collar.

I once shared a house with a couple people I SHOULD have done that to.

Hmm. Do you have to wear the belt at ALL times? Like, even outside the apartment? Because that would interesting (as pie said, for about a week.)

You wouldn't rather live in the apartment described as $2250 2 BRs in 3BRs apartment with emotionally unstable female roommate (Upper West Side)?

Is it scary and wrong that the first thing I thought about the bell-belt was "Really? For a guest, too? What sound would that make during sex?"

I know, I know, I keep saying I'm going to sleep, and then I post.

"What sound would that make during sex?" on the dinning room table?
posted by arse_hat 13 March | 23:51
I'd be less worried about the noise than what would happen when the bells get tangled together. How would you explain that in the ER?

Someone should mine these ads for short stories/short films. Someone probably has.

Ahh bell-belt sex stuck in my mind!

Invite a troup of Morris Dancers round and freak her out.

Let's hope you don't mean "freak" in the R'n'B sense.

Am I the only one who felt sorry for an elderly lady letting all sorts of crazies live in her house? She might be chopped up and served as chop suey in a week.

I know, right? For $700 a month. Good grief.

Wait, do we think she's in earnest? I'm amused and horrified at the same time.
