The Greatest (Non-Disturbing) Craigslist Ad of All Time

Time Out Chicago’s blog posted this a week ago, so I know I’m late, but I just had to save it until Friday, when it could serve as a beacon of hope and love for the entire weekend. Basically, it’s a Craigslist ad, which I am reprinting its entirety:

dearest gamestop girl,when i walked into your store that lethal tuesday, i expected only to think a smattering of half-decent titles tucked deny hard pressed there amongst the used 360 games. instead i found you, surrounded by a beam of uncover, halfway between assassin’s tenet and identify of duty 3. your gorgeous unfathomable hair was radiant in contrast with the rainbow of colors on the deluxe bioshock behind you. the game of the year held no draw for me when i saw you look up and smile, even though both could remain me in joyfulness.you commanded the read when it was my arrive to hindrance out with the orange box. yes, i was finally getting to depict portal. convenient me, you said with the cutest smile. advantageous me, i thought, and then knew you had the portal to my heart. i could care less if the cake is a misrepresent, i’d still want to share it with you.oh gamestop girl, how you make my heart meter miss a surpass. if you were being held captive in a mountain fortress by a ruthless mutant mafia gangboss and i had to fight my way by virtue of 16 levels of fire-breathing undead ninjas with swords the size of small ponies, i would find a way, even if, after every storey, a Lilliputian man continued to taunt me by saying that you were in another castle. measured if.so, yes, gamestop girl, i want to obliterate robotic zombie terrorists with you. you can even have the deluxe shotgun with explosive scattershot. i’ll just use this knife over here. i’ll do anything for you, precisely for the modest, slightest conceivably that someday – someday – you and me could be a wii.

This Craigslist ad is, to me, the quintessence of what is great about nerds: their creativity, their emotion; their habit of making references to nerdy things in any conversation, thinking people will be impressed; and their ability to fall in love with any girl who exhibits a slightly nerdy characteristic, whether it be working at a Gamestop or just wearing glasses.
