posted a personal ad yesterday. i've been working on it for quite a while and no it's starting to get results, 4 answers. I live in Finland and never got this many responses so fast. what i'm saying is that this is a good amount here, dunno about states or other countries.

For background information i reframed the whole ad to fit a sports show on tv. included some famous dudes: Sakari Pietilä is a legendary finnish ice-hockey commentator who draws crazy pictures onto a board of team's strategies and such. Ari Koivunen is a well-known finnish heavy metal singer, known for his shitty atitude towards other people. Here's my profile, translated from finnish to english:

Definately the best topic there is

First a little warning for all. This ad will be funny, if the topic of your reply is going to be either ":D" or "lol haha!" do me a favor and think of a better one. Ready? Ok.

Heelloo and welcome to Helsinki to hear a story about a 27-year-old man! in the studio we have with us 2 special guests, a legend in ice-hockey Sakari "Flipchart" Pietilä and Mr. heavy metal Ari Koivunen.

Sakari, how would you comment on our star this evening? - "he's the best! what if I draw a sketch of him onto this flipchart?"

The hell you will, Sakari! Ari, what are your comments? "haven't met him, propably a jackass. Would kick his ass if i had any muscles."

Ok, let's move forward. The star of the evening is ready. Tonights commentator is ready, what's the situation there?

"a warm welcome from my part as well! And yes our handsome guy is already up to speed here. What would you do on a first date?"

- I would ask you to wear something pretty, the restaurant is chosen of course. At the doorstep of the restaurant i suddenly decide that a smoking hot tango dance is more fun. But you keep stepping on my best shoes! As the night progresses you notice that you can't resist my charming personality and we end up in your place... to order me a pair of new shoes! My toes hurt as well

Sakari, who would you comment on this? - "what if, i draw something..." While Sakari is drawing cubistic paintings of ice hockey, let's move on.

"We just had an amazingly exciting moment. Our star just asked all the interested readers to send out their replies! What drama, what beauty! You can't experience this anywhere but in personal ads! I wish i had one too!"

This is mind-blowing! Ari, thoughts? - "i seem to have forgotten my pants..." - Ookaay... Sakari? - "If i wasn't drawing stuff all the time i would definately send a reply this insant!" - Sakari, you are a silly man. - "Yes I am"

- The end -

Here are a couple of responses i've gotten so far:

"you're text was funny you didn't talk much about yourself. would be nice to chat some more!"

"Points for the imagination"

"well well you're profile stood out! and it made me laugh, excellent!"

Nothing much to grab on to there. Suggestions on answering those? I was thinking about keeping it interesting. To the first reply there above i thought to make her guess what i'm doing, and bust her balls about something in her profile.

all ideas are welcome, thx in advance!
