We here at Get Off The Internet thank you for your patience during our overly long exile. Some of us have been up to other things on the internet, including Agreeable Comics and the Fake AP Stylebook and since we’re flush with success, we figured it was time to find a good butler to buttle around GOTI Towers.
I say, he looks qualifi…oh.
As regurgitated on the internet everywhere, “Armored truck robber uses Craigslist to make getaway“. But has anybody made fun of the comments for that article yet? No. Of course not. That’s why you need Get Off the Internet. We bring the good shit.
Let’s get things started with one of the countless internet denizens who has no idea what an ellipsis is actually used for.
yeah yeah.. stealing is wrong…
But… no one was killed… or harmed very badly…
and the guy got away…very creatively by the way.
For all I care… if this guy is going to go across the country robbing banks in this manner… have at it, as long as no one is maimed or killed in the proccess…
Man that makes for a good news story. HAHA!
Yes, anarchy is always welcomed as long as it makes for hilarious fluff news. By the way, did you hear about the man exposing himself to children? No one was maimed or killed, and the news report used a cartoon duck to cover his genitalia! Hilarious!
It would seem that local police have a regular Keyser Souce on their hand.
Look, you’re already on the internet. Could you not spend 2 seconds to check if you spelled Keyser Söze correctly? Also, Keyser Söze murdered his own family before butchering the majority of the Hungarian mob, so, no, the police DON’T have a regular Keyser Söze on their hands. Jesus. Why didn’t you just jump straight to Godwin and say the police had a regular “Hitler” on their hands?
I wonder if he is a relative of D.B. Coopers?
Again, you have access to the whole damn internet, could you not have maybe done a little research? I mean, props for knowing one of the great unsolved capers in US history, but negative props for associating it with a guy who will probably be caught the next time he logs back into Craigslist.
this thing is so funny, now someone need to make a movie
What the hell?! You just read the whole damn story! Are you really admitting to the internet that your imagination is completely incapable of recreating this story that you’re DEMANDING someone charge you ten bucks for the privilege of watching what you just now read? Sweet pie-baking gorillas, you’re an idiot!
haha clever
at least NOW he’ll have some good pillow-talk to tell his new boyfriend in prison.
I was beginning to wonder if I was actually still on the internet, what with the lack of research and palpable homophobia.
people are crazy these days.
Well gosh, I sure am glad you decided to chime in on this delightful little anecdote. Just couldn’t let this story go by without tossing in your two cents, huh? I guess “ha ha” seemed to pedestrian and “omg wtf” was just outside of your grasp?
Too bad the idiot American voting public could not and cannot elect a President who can think ahead and plan like this.
Because what would the internet be without a self-righteous, thread-jacking asshole with a political chip on his shoulder?
Is it just me, or does this seem like it’s written in LOLCat?
Seriously.
Um, dude.
I don’t know quite how to frame this.
But. I’m going to try.
You’re doing it wrong. This is “Missed Connections,” not “I’m Going To Cut You.” Craigslist doesn’t offer the latter.
Sure, we all liked the Hitchcock riff that was Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder in Silver Streak.
We may have even sat through the entirety of James Cameron’s bloated Titanic.
But I think we can all agree that $50 for a pair of VHS cassettes you could get at Goodwill for $2.00 is a bit stupid.
(Also, wouldn’t you have to go back in time to 1987 to buy a VCR anymore?)
I have no idea what this post from the New York City “Wanted” board is really about, but from a glance, it looks like somebody’s attempt to start a specialty brothel. Or maybe a plants, chemicals, and backgrounds store. I mean, haven’t we all needed a background or air line at some point?
You know, I’m not a naturally suspicious fellow, but:
Maybe this will be a new feature, maybe not, but please feel free to send in the “best” Craigslist posts you can find to kevin(at)getofftheinternet(dot)org. Today, we feature what I can only suspect is a young man’s sincere hope that he can pay for his pre-order of Grand Theft Auto 4 by recycling a gift he got from his Nana. Poor old woman doesn’t know anything about your Kintendos or Space Stations…
