This Craig’s List Post is either a hoax or the most amazing thing I’ve ever read: Tell me what you think!
Looking for a wife for my son
Reply to: anon-xxxxxxxx@craigslist.org
Date: 2005-05-23, 5:08PMMy son Potato needs a wife. I wanted to get him a little brother but my husband says NO, that Potato doesnt need a little brother, he needs a wife.
So i am looking for a small chihuahua female who can become a wife for my son Potato. He is not looking for a quick bang or anything. he is genuinly looking for commitment. so if you can help us out, that would be great.
Could be he has a male chihuahua that he thinks of as his “son”. There are way too many people like that…
The lady just calls her dog her son.
But, yes, a little dingy.
“–”
ps-why don’t you submit this as a reality series idea? I could see something like this on TV. Or is that the natural path of evolution for blogs? From observation, to commentary, to sitcom or reality show?
A Hoax?
Hardly.
I happened to meet Potato a few years ago at a freedom fry eating contest.
That’s how he got the name ‘Potato’ – he wins a lot of these wacky things.
He actually goes on the circuit and makes a fair living at it.
During the off season, he does Mr. Potato impressions at Bar Mitzvahs and drives co-pilot on the WeinerMobile.
But the life does have it’s drawbacks.
He smells like a 3 day old vat of fry oil and he weighs in at 325.
He has a little trouble with the ladies and so is a lonely guy.
His Ma wanted to get him a little brother to keep him company on the fry circuit but his
Pa felt it was time he had a wife and always wanted a grandkid he could call ‘Spud’.
So you can see this is no hoax.
