The greatest craigslist post ever

My personal favorite line: "Go have an ironic mustache growing contest in front of American Apparel, so that I can continue selling $300 bikes to fatties, which is what keeps the lights on."

I think I'll take my tandem recumbent that I built out of two old Peugeots in and see if he can figure out why it's not shifting right.
That is if we can't figure it out over the phone Saturday morning.

Recumbent people scare him. Good. We like it that way. Fear us.

That's pretty good. Here is another good one that went around a while ago. Dredging it up for those who have not seen it yet.

I appreciate the part about feeding your kids to sharks and understand that whenever someone has to deal with stupid questions all day they will have to vent some where.
I wouldn't ever be in his/her shop but don't think less of him for feeling this way.
