Feb 19 2010That's How You Rent A Room On Craigslist!!
Want to rent a room on Craigslist? This is how you do it. Of course, it's not as successful as the last ad I placed looking for a roommate. Granted, I mentioned I was the Geekologie Writer, but I had over 4,000 replies. At least two of which I'm convinced weren't guys that wanted to collect my hair out of the shower drain.
How To Rent Your Extra Room [buzzfeed]
Thanks to Fadilah, Martin and cheesewhizzer, who are all welcome to crash on my couch for pizza money.

I'm a little weirded out right now because as I was reading this, a Dave Chappelle comedy special was playing on my TV, and the intro music to that is "Up In Here" by DMX, and I read the "You can put your bed and furniture UP IN HERE!!!" exactly as DMX said it...it was fucking perfect
23. Camel Joe - February 20, 2010 1:18 AM
Camel Joe reminds you, keep smoking. It keeps our crops growing, keeps our people out of out-of-work lines. I see a black dude smoking cigarettes and wearing cotton - thank god GW... Carver... or Carter.
Fuck Perrier... they racist. Where's the dignity? Slaves grew tobacco, wonder if they smoked it? BLACK LIBERATION (that's that thing against the whites, right???)
SMOKEY... the... grrrr....
24. Nikki - February 20, 2010 2:20 AM
Yay Houston Texas! I'd so move in with this dude.
25. steph - February 20, 2010 3:04 AM

why, WHY? Are we going to have to start screening these fail posters on the comments section? Like make a Geekologie.com membership card or something and have different levels on it like Super Mario Bros. and you can have two houses: Robots and Dinosaurs.
@16 STFU go away, there is like 2 girls to 30 guys on this website and I highly doubt they want a Piece of S517 fake handbag, they have lego purses so go pan on the street corner where you belong.
@ all the haters to the CL roomie post: You are still living at home like the GW used to, don't hate, masterbate; you're good at it already.
@ Howard: THAT'S MY XBOX 360 AND MY ROOM?! Did you kick me out while I was at work or something and why are you calling yourself cougarclaws? Because of that one time we went to that place and you paid that girl that looked like a guy 200 bucks for the lap dances?
29. Marcus - February 20, 2010 8:53 AM
I hope he's got permission from his mum.
30. Chinny - February 20, 2010 8:55 AM
I feel that he should give Aziz Ansari like 10% of the rent each month.
31. Marcus - February 20, 2010 9:12 AM
@31 fcuk that let him move in for free,, that'll tie up two assh0les in one place
32. Name (required): - February 20, 2010 9:47 AM
LAST!
33. cabbo - February 20, 2010 10:56 AM
@33 Nope.
@29 Yay, someone new who's funny.
Personally I'd buy the room. I don't care what the guy's like (although he'd probably be an alright guy), that's a pretty good place. Swimming pools and Tennis courts? Go for it.
34. Name (required): - February 20, 2010 1:41 PM
