desperately seeking susan...

I submitted this to you suck at craigslist dot com, but they haven't posted it and I don't know if they will. So... Here's a little gem I found:

what do you collect? This is the barter section, and we have a great space for display and selling of vintage, retro, collectible stuff in exchange for helping us out on a shift or two.
Fun easy place to work, and we sell your stuff everyday, open everyday, and special events like the ferndale art fair and the dream cruise and pridefest.
what do you collect? male anything retro? Looking for stable down to earth guys that are non smoker and drug free. addicted to garbage picking? garage sales? fine. No drugs.
well, coffee and plenty of it.

Location: ferndale
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Do you have a nicotine addiction? Go fuck yourself. Do you have an addiction to leafing through disgusting garbage? High five! Call me asap!!!

And "male anything retro"? What in the holy hell is that supposed to mean? At first, I thought: spelling error. However, "make anything retro?" is physically impossible. It has to exist for quite some time before it can be considered retro. You can make something retro-style or -esque perhaps. But to straight up make something retro is just ludicrous.

My head hurts.
