The Occupy Movement has given us reporters plenty of fodder for good stories -- some informative and others entertaining. And while it appears Occupy SF has ceased to exist as a camp since police raided the encampment on Wednesday, there are still plenty of amusing stories to tell.
For instance, this San Francisco guy is desperate to reoccupy the Financial District, which is why he is looking for someone to help him set up his tent -- and occupy it with him. So he did what any normal searching San Franciscan would do: He posted an ad on Craigslist.
Although it's far from your average "looking for a housemate" ad.
Here's his sales pitch:
"I want a roommate to help set up a new camp and watch my back in case the NAzis with the GERMAN dog come back to kick me out. I also have a video camera we can share in case they harrass us.
Aside from sounding paranoid, here's a little more about him: "I am clean and keep a neat tent. I shave and shower every other week, we can alternate so some one is always in the tent. My girlfriend will bring food so we don't have to leave."
And if that isn't enticing enough, the rent is cheaper than a cardboard box. "$1.00 rent is due upon our agreement and is due on the first of every month. It is not refundable as your dollar symbolizes your dedication to the tent and our cause," according to the ad.
Any takers?
How does a guy, who shaves and showers every two weeks, get a girlfriend?
By finding a girl who shaves and showers every two weeks. ;-)
Sounds like he has a girlfriend but she brings him food once a week.
The rest of the time she probably dates a man.
Is he sharing his girlfriend?
Where do they find such stupid girlfriends??
Um,.... no reason
Reckon what gender his girlfriend is?
She’s happy to bring him things as long as he promises to stay at the tent.
I’m sure it’s an open relationship.
That sounds more like a protection racket than being a heartfelt provider.
“It is not refundable as your dollar symbolizes your dedication to the tent and our cause,” according to the ad. “
He should be charging $99.00 to identify with the 99%.
These folks are truly pathetic.
Charging rent? Shouldn’t it be FREE, like everything else?
Those tents are pretty nice. I’ve seen them used for wedding receptions and banquets.
Why didn’t this guy think of this when he was living in his mother’s basement? At least there would be access to running water, a toilet and a shower.
“Would you like to come in my teepee and rest on soft furs?”
Well, if he really wants a tentmate, he should canvas the neighborhood.
