    Craigslist is probably the sewer of the Internet.

      What makes it funny though is that I got an email from this same person about a week ago asking about the TV.

      Thanks,

              Kumar: Do you know what the hell we had to go through after you took the car?
              Neil Patrick Harris: Yeah, it was a dick move on my part. That's why I'm paying for your meal. Prick.
              Neil Patrick Harris: [looks down to count money] Here's 50 for the meal, and 200 for the car.
              Harold: What did you do to my car?
              Neil Patrick Harris: I made some love stains in the back. You'll see...
