Okay folks I know my spelling is atrocious, but what is up with this posting. Just reading the copy is causing me to choke on last night's Domino's pizza. If this has anything to do with real work then I think I should head down to South Florida, cause they must be hurtin for sure.

Any other thoughts on this. Of course if the poster weren't allowed to be anonymous, we might actually find out that it's from a 15 year old in Guam.

I'd like to live in 2 baths plus powder in the midst of the midst.

try sticking anything in for the phone number and see how long it takes you to read it. 30 seconds????

Wow.

That's one of the toniest, most expensive, most coveted areas of the South Bay section of Los Angeles (I grew up very close to there.) Enormously high average annual salaries. Within a reasonable commute to multiple world-class universities.

And yet...

... and I answered that lead. My take on it is on the Demo o de Day forum. I don't think the spelling or grammar is anywhere close to as bad as many others I've seen here.

"Toniest", eh, Amy? You ROW-day-OH drive wench, you!

I guess I had Florida on the brain. In any case I knew it was kinda ritzy and yet...

what is up with this post?

Can it be for real?

I think it's real.

And Scott? You sure have me pegged, my friend. Wink

So Scott, I listened to your audition for this and I know copywriters can write a little "fat", but it says 30: and you come in at 53:

Hey, maybe they'll change it to a 60 and pay you double for it. Howeve I would demand double and a powder.

Mr. Gilbert, You have once again managed to malign and distort another loyal Voice 123 contributor. I find your previous statement reprehensible, unforgivable and intolerable. My attorney will be in touch.

Deepest Regards,
Tonto
