Safer Than A Toyota Recall

Guaranteed way to save money! Do all of your shopping on Craigslist, but only buy from entries that use proper grammar.


You will starve, go homeless, and run out of clothes within a week.


This, of course, is the downside of my plan...but you will definitely save money.

Use of proper language is a lost art, helped along by various media outlets telling us to "Live Adventurous," watch "Less Commercials," and tell us "Here's today's winning numbers." These are all examples from actual advertisements, and if you don't see anything wrong with those, I hate you.


Craigslist is even worse, though.


Exactly. Craigslist sucks. Craigslist is like the Wikipedia of advertisement. Anybody who feels like it can write their own, and silly things like spelling and grammar are tossed to the wolves. Have a little fun. Go to craigslist and search for a car. Any car. You will invariably find one that "runs good." Other items "need sold today," are being sold for a "cheep" price, or have such a rambling wreck of a run-on sentence in the ad, you forget if you're buying or selling. It's obnoxious.


So I believe we have some wrapping up to do.


Indeed. Friday marked the end of the "US Olympian or Foreign Head of State" Theme Fortnight, and it introduced us to Jinelle Zaugg-Siergiej. Jinelle plays women's Ice Hockey and is representing the US in Vancouver, having already played in the team's 12-1 win over China on Sunday.


That brings the final stats to an Un-Jeremy-Like 6 Olympians and 4 Foreign Heads of State. Way to beat the OCD and leave an unbalanced result, Jeremy.


Thank you. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the participants from the last two weeks and hope everyone had fun playing.

At this time, all of us here at Miracle Posting, Inc are proud to announce the winner of this week's contest. In an unprecedented achievement, we have Co-Winners! Loyal Readers Willie and Steve both chalked up 5 correct answers, beating out a 6-player logjam at 4 to claim the title. You'll both receive the coveted Jeremy Is In The Office Home Game; Volume VI - Olympic Medals. Enjoy!

I would like to thank all the people here at "Jeremy's Sametime Status" for this award. I also want to thank all the little people, who did nothing to help me win this special prize. Thanks again.
