Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

Wasup Craigslist

One aspect of Mark Twain’s genius was the keen ear by which he was able to duplicate the sounds and rhythms of a variety of dialects. Certainly this too was one of the remarkable charms of Kathryn Stockett’s The Help.

Since I might be interested in purchasing a good quality bike rack for our car, I receive notifications from Craigslist when one is listed. That led to the following. I’m not really sure what to make of it. It’s real (I couldn’t make this up). It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. It’s worth trying to read out loud. And if this is fiction, there is another master out there waiting for his break.

  1. For a minute, I thought it was one of Nathan’s students’ research papers.

  2. Haha so funny! Gives me ATL flashbacks.
    Most of it is just poor spelling and auto terms.
    bcuzbi is ‘because I need the money’ or I won’t phrase the other.
    hmu is ‘hit me up’ which means give me a call.

    I have teenaged sons. Let me help. It says: I have a very old car, in very poor condition, but I spent all my cash on silly extras so now I’m broke. Please take it off my hands. Price negotiable, but I’m seriouly broke.

  4. This is great! Some of the best exegesis I’ve seen in a long, long time! Which means, I think I’ll pass on the car. 🙂
