Actually, the posting has been flagged and removed. I guess craigslist doesn't have a sense of humor anymore. I did receive a few good comments though, which are copied after the posting.

"Dear Craigslisters,

I am looking for a responsible and loving person to adopt my sweet little babies. Well, they are not quite babies anymore, they are actually quite large (and fast!!), but it’s hard to believe that they have grown up so quickly!

I would absolutely keep them, but my live-in boyfriend is making me give them up. It was a hard choice.

I am really going to miss their shiny date colored peek-a-boo! appearances in the bathroom, waving their long spindly antennas and flexing their shellacked legs. I’m going to miss our rousing games of Chase the Cockroach through the kitchen, under the trash, into the bathroom, underneath the tub. Our apartment is going to feel mighty empty.

But, true love must prevail, and so the roaches must go.

Here are the details:
• 3 to 100 healthy one inch long beasties
• hard-wood floor colored (glistening reddish brown coats)
• nocturnal
• not picky about food (we find that they like pasta encrusted pans soaking in the sink the best, but it’s up to you)
• favorite housing structures include smelly shoes, holes around pipes, and dark cracks near sources of water (you must have at least one of these habitats in order to be considered)
• quiet, very friendly, but will get out of the way when you want them to

Really, they are the ideal pets, and I am not really sure why my boyfriend objects to them, his arguments make no sense to me (aren’t men silly?).

If you are interested, please reply by answering the following questions (I really want to find them the best home possible):
1) Do you regularly wash your dishes?
2) Do you have leaky plumbing?
3) Is your building old and full of nooks and crannies?
4) Do you like eating green beans from the can and then leaving the rest of the can on the counter?
5) Do you live alone and rarely have visitors?
6) Are you lonely?/
7) Do you need some persistent, unconquerable, loyal new friends with lustrous shells and a long, fascinating history?

Thanks!"
