Maybe that's why we didn't find a roommate yet: our ad was too short.
Nilly (hi!!!), you needed to include all sorts of information about, for example, Firefly (and maybe some reviews of episodes), and how much you enjoy numbers (and that the ideal roommate would have a birth date that, when added together, would equal 17).
They just took a whole bunch of words to say it.
Yeah, it didn't seem freakish, like "Here is the Kool-Aid....drink the Kool-Aid....," but I was just amused by how much they went on and on and on.
There were very specific and repeated the important points often. Anyone who moves in with them can't say that they were misinformed.
Timelies,
The 70 degree temperatures today would excite me more if I didn't have to work. Still, it's nice it's finally starting to be spring-ish.
When is this Robot Chicken everyone is talking about on?

For all they sound like nice people, I'd be dreading the prospect of having to go through that level of discussion and repetition any time any issue at all came up. Which I guess also constitutes fair warning.
Hey, Teppy!
And no, no, no mention of science-fiction or anything math-related when looking for a roommate, for me. It scares them. My current two roommates like me despite "that show with the monsters and the people hitting each other and the gross", let alone the numbers. The one who just got married fell in love with "Firefly" by accident, when I was watching ("Out of Gas". And it wasn't deliberate!). Also, you didn't like the show yourself, IIRC, right?
Um, also, I think people have problems in reading comprehension of ads. For example, we asked for a girl-roommate on the ad (in Hebrew a noun is either male or female. For example, a male-roommate is "shootaf" and a female-roommate is "shootafa"). Also, we specified that she has to be religious (keeping kosher and shabbat with a non-observant roommate is really hard). And yet we got calls from non-religious boys, not understanding why we keep telling them that there's no point in them coming to see the apartment.

And it's also been re-run on Thursday nights at midnight.

Kind of like subscribing to Bureaucracy?
