Mr. Language Person notices interesting craigslist ads

The resistance has been broken. Wasn't going to post unless absolutely necessary, but a couple of these craigslist ads have got the Mr. Language Person part of me in a tizzy.

First of all, check this one out. Seems the subdominant culture has come up with a brand new vehicle nomenclature system:

That one is an all-time classic.

Then, a new name has been invented for a Honda product. Check it out here:

$1 car, might as well advertise it FREE.

I was thinking it was a combination of Presley and Qualuude...probably an appropriate name for a car in Elvis Presley’s day...it’s just that someone didn’t think if it in time.

Dang, I wish I could remember that one ad. You would love it, it explains who shouldn’t respond to the job ad. It was a hoot.

MeneMeneTekelUpharsin runs the Craig’s List ad
MeneMeneTekelUpharsin writes the “article”
MeneMeneTekelUpharsin posts the vanity
MeneMeneTekelUpharsin writes the first comment laughing at his own ad

Yawn.

From the second link:

Honda preslude 92, Clean Title, 4 cylinder, 142 miles, manual Tranmision, can runs really good.

Twenty years old with only 142 miles - what a deal.

can runs really good - It's all well and good that it can, the question remains - Does it?

Not going to get into an argument with a troll. One has a phone number. Why would I do that? Illogical. I guess every humorous thing posted here is now considered to have orginated with the poster.

That’s just the sugested price. You have some rom to gotiate. FWIW I’ve got a friend who buys a lot of stuf in Craigslist and you don’t have to acept the sellers price or so he tells me. You don’t want to low-bal him, though. I think if you started at sixty cents you could get it for around eighty sense. I’ve listened to some tapes on gotiating and that sounds about rite. Does that make cents to u?

At least you’re known for a sense of humor. I’ve seen trolls accuse posters of all sorts of things. This one seem pretty innocuous. You funny guy, you!

I always wondered, Prelude to what?

...and does Honda have a Postlude?

Having dealt with the Spanish language for 30+ years, I know exactly WHY these phonetic glitches are occurring, but it is still funny to me.

Sorry, guys. It was meant to be a play on the other accusers floating around and the blatant exploitation of FR that goes on. Guess I needed the “/s” tag.

It was so over the top to suggest that Mene actually placed the ad that I thought you’d get it. Mea culpa.

Actually Forerunner and Prelude have similar meanings. I suppose Afterthought or Also-ran would correspond to Postlude.
