<< STATES RATED ~ MAIN ~ BLOOD FOR NO OIL >>

ADS PLACED

Extracts from They Call Me Naughty Lola: Personal Ads from the London Review of Books:

• I enjoy vodka, canasta, evenings in, and cold, cold, revenge.

• Either I’m desperately unattractive, or you are all lesbians. Bald, pasty man (61) with nervous tic and unclassifiable skin complaint believes it to be the latter but holds out hope.

• Tired of feeling patronised by the ads in this column? Then I’m not the woman for you, little man.

• When you do that voodoo that you do so well, I invoke 16th-century witchcraft laws and have you burned at the stake. No shenanigans with Quaker M, 39.

• My favourite Ben & Jerry’s is Acid-Boiled Bones of Divorce Lawyer. They don’t make it yet, but, damn, I can taste its sweet, sweet ice-creamy goodness already. M, 54.

• Slut in the kitchen, chef in the bedroom. Woman with mixed priorities (37) seeks man who can toss a good salad.

• I am not an accountant.

Recommended.

  10. "Beautiful, both on the outside and the inside” always had me wondering if she was looking for a gynaecologist to date. I’ve been told I take things too literally, sometimes…

  11. #9 Age is of no concern. Mostly, only people? of these appearances may apply.

  12. #11 May not apply!!! Damn Preview!!!

  13. Ash, you had me for a moment with that mouldy crowd. Are they descendants of transported criminals? Banished imbeciles?

    Even at 116, I am more man than all those fellows put together—and their wives as well.

    Posted by Harry Bergeron on 2007 10 22 at 11:12 AM • permalink

  14. #13 You did not deserve such treatment. Accept my most humble apologies, a cheesecake, three bowls of pasta, and two PACO products.

    Oh, banished imbiciles? More than likely.

    But again, I apologise, and give you a Labor bumper sticker, a Carlton jumper, three dog biscuits, and a used bowling shoe.

  15. Saw one in London Timeout magazine a few years back.  Simply read:

    "Fat slag needs man."

  16. Tired of feeling patronised by the ads in this column? Then I’m not the woman for you, little man.

    I think that one was posted by Maureen Dowd.

    Quite intuitive you are, Ash, as I have but one foot.
    But it’s size 16!

  18. Beware of personal ads that mention salad tossing. Unless your toilet paper is too scratchy, anyway.

  19. Believe I read this post at LGF (coulda’ been here)..."Hey baby, remember my name cause you’re gonna’ be screamin’ it all night”.

    I mean talk about a warm up, huh?

  21. Personal Ad: Woman Seeking Man

    If you want a bitch that you
    Can’t possibly embarrass,
    And a rash that can’t be cured,
    You always will have Paris.

  23. Personal Ad: Man Seeking Woman

    If you love a man who laughs,
    I’m guaranteed outrageous. 
    Pathologists have proved in court
    My laughter is contagious.

  24. Personal Ad: Man with Excess
    Self-Esteem Seeks Woman Without

    This Bubba needs a bimbo,
    A cheery, big-haired slut
    Who, unlike Mrs Bubba,
    Can keep her pie-hole shut.

  25. Personal Ad: Former Altar Boy Seeks
    Orderly Woman with Good Clean Habits.

    That lewdness charge was nothing but
    A baseless, false invention.
    Nuns will, you know, say anything;
    They’re gluttons for attention.

  30. Single male seeks sweet single female between 1.617 and 1.619. I have several good qualities. For example, I once got a fortune cookie that said “You possess a rare beauty. Use it to your advantage.” If an inanimate object like a predictionless fortune cookie thinks I’m hot then you’ll probably find me irresistible.

    ❤sigh❤

  31. #28 That’s not the dowry, that’s the standard apology package.
