Craigslist Ad Of The Day: Mow Our Lawn For A Date!

They might be speaking in code. Then again, they might not be. This is why I'm glad I don't have to date anymore.

We have a lot of readers in Sea-Tac... Kate, Noreen, Carly. But I don't think this came from any of them. Anyone want to fess up?

Mow our lawn for a date!


Date: 2009-05-20, 10:45PM PDT


Hey boys… ‘tis the season for lawn mowing and new love. These are the only two things missing in my life.

First order of the business: the lawn. Our small front lawn, and largish back lawn have grown out of control after all the rain we have had as of late. It’s about 1.5 feet tall, and growing taller by the second. We are four lovely ladies lacking a lawn mower. This is where you come in.

Second order of business: you and me. I’m a sexy young 20 something lady offering a date (my treat) in exchange for a mowed lawn. We will also offer homemade baked goods to sweeten the deal.

However this lawn may be more than you can handle alone. For this reason, my sultry single roommate has graciously agreed to offer the same deal for your friend who helps you out with the task. Let’s go on a double date! You are also welcome to mow the lawn on your own, and pick a lucky friend to come on the date.

Who knows, maybe one date could turn into two (lawn mowing optional *wink wink*)

Serious inquiries only, we need this lawn mowed, BYOLawnMower!!!

No photos of your weedwhacker please.

I think this may be related to the Don't Shave Your Ass post but with a neighboring region and a positive instead of a negative required action...

Samsmama said...

I'm hoping this isn't code. The thought of a "largish back lawn" is pretty damn sick.

And, what chrocs said. Because that's way funnier.

best line in there. i almost had lemonaid come out my nose!

Lefty said...

I hope you were drinking lemonade at the time, because otherwise you might want to get that checked out.

Stuart said...

The follow-up to this ad will be in the form of a letter that begins with the words, "Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me ..."

marianne said...

i think i'd offer free pie if someone would mow my lawn.

that didn't sound too dirty, did it?

Cary said...

Lefty: For you.

Lefty said...

Don't you have a Ba-dup-bup to which I could say "Thank you, I'll be here all week"?

Cary said...

Yes.

Lefty said...

Thank you! I'll be here all week!

Samsmama said...

My gawd, I love me some sound effect zingers!

rkintn said...

OMG! Thanks, Cary! I've been needing my lawn mowed as well and I never thought about pimping myself out for free lawn care!

I wonder how many responses I'll get as a sexyish 40 year old woman?

Alas, I don't have any friends to double date with so I guess I would have to go out with both of them? at the same time?

I might have better luck with this than I have had on Plentoffish! LOL

Samsmama said...

RK, Lefty would like you to know you'd have better luck on PlentYoffish.

:)

hey! your blog reminds me of something that's always in my bag! It's a book, and it contains lists, called listography. You just fill in the lists that are in the book. Obviously it's more personal than your posts but still! I love your blog!

Carolyn said...

@rkintn - I think we are living parallel lives... I could have written your response.

rkintn said...

LOL @ Carolyn...I would hope you would remember the Y in plentYoffish. Thanks Samsmama:P

I noticed that as well, Carolyn. Maybe we were separated at birth? HA

I lived on the Eastside when I lived in the Seattle area. Trust me, you don't want to "mow their lawn", you can't afford those girls.

Cary said...

Thanks, Toothfairynotes. Welcome to the suck!

cam3709 said...

Here's hoping the ladies in the ad did a little trimming of their "lawns" pre-date.

Because otherwise that may be a bit of a deal breaker.

Dookie said...

I can't really think of any sexy innuendo for spraying herbicide on the weeds.

Hey, baby, wanna mulch?

Mukch much?

Got mulch?

Yeah, baby, I'm going to roundup your stray weeds!!(?)

Dookie said...

Yeah, baby, I'm gonna spray my herbicide all over your stray weeds poking through the pavement. Nothing's gonna grow there for 10 weeks. Then, I'm gonna go wash my hands.

Stacy Belford said...

Do you think that after they get done mowing the lawn, they'll go to the hot tub party on their date!

voronya said...

maybe i can pimp myself out to get my house cleaned!
