I'll add more as they come to me. Hopefully I won't need much more real life inspiration. Here's a copy of an ad I replied to. This one is clearly a joke, but it's not that different than real ads I've come across. I'm interested to see if the person actually replies to my reply:
I'm looking for an incredibly beautiful girl to share my house. Why does my next roommate have to be a gorgeous girl with fantastic funbags? Because I hate my job, that's why.
I spend everyday dealing with complete cockbites, only to come home and deal with one more cockbite fucktard, and I'm tired of it. For once, I want something to look forward to, and it's certaintly not going to be my job.
So if someone has suggested that you should be on America's Top Model, or could be (better yet, have been) in Playboy, than you may just have what it takes to be my next roommate.
In all fairness though, it will take more than just being a scorching hottie to be my roommate, it will also take $700 every month.

Wow it's really real when it comes to apartment hunting huh?
btw....i really love the word 'fucktard'. it's such a versatile word, no?
Laura, You're one of the few people who can meet those rommate requirements (well maybe not the $700/month).
Your Southernmost fan...
You forgot:
Studio apartment = industrial loft
My apartment was billed as "charming close to nature and private" which turned out to = renovated chicken coops. Yeah ya 'erd it right. Although I've learned that the single worst feature when apartment hunting is people; neighbors, real estate dorks, old tenants etc. In the end you can love the damndest places. I love my little chicken coop flat. Hmm - I can't work funbags into this but I tried. Hard. At least the mental effort has left me all anxious. And flushed. And panting. Thanks Swish.
By the way Laura, you were a bit unclear in your response to the ad. So do you want to share my house or not?
Double bogeys, 12 o'clock.
Spiritual = will try to get you to come to my church
Easy access = next to the freeway
I hate moving. Hate it. All parts of it. Yuck. I hope you find a new place that you like.
I laughed my ass off at that reply. Good to see you in top form.
God damn. Yeah I'm looking for an apartment in LA now as well. Thanks for the translations.
