"Room 418" missing craigslist ad?

Hey all. Not really sure which is the best forum to post this in, but. . .

In the "News" for today's comic, Tycho linked to the original craigslist ad that inspired the comic, then a second followup ad. Except the link to the second ad returns a 404 page.

Anyone know what the 2nd ad said before it was deleted by craigslist?

    it was a parody of the swinger's craigslist ad that was based on mario kart

    IIRC they had too many yoshi players and were holding out for a luigi or peach

    It's still up. The link in the news is missing the L.

    Who would think a missing L could destroy the internet? Hopefully they edit the story to fix it. Not insulting anyones intelligence but a vast majority of people have no clue how the internet works and they would never notice. Hell im pretty savy and i tried pulling it up with google cache before i actually looked at the url. The comic and ad is alot funnier when both parts of it are read.

    the .htm/.html distinction can be really annoying.

    Given the normal state of Tycho's sexuality in the comics, this is downright pedestrian for him. There is nary an ostrich in sight!

    You can't tell because the rest of her body is off-panel, but she's a Padaung woman.

    The first ad was deleted by the creator.

    I came here looking for the text, but I found it on GAF... makes the second one make way more sense... here it is:

    Okay, I thought it might be fun for a bunch of us like minded adults to get together in a hotel room and have a friendly adult party. This will be Friday night, with a possibility of a Saturday encore. Any who are interested please email me so we can get this set up. All sizes and shapes welcome! Please respond with either geek or nerd in the subject line. MW4MW MW4W

    Update: Getting too many responses from single males, so will not be accepting any more for now. If you are a single male and you already replied, I need to see what we have for couples and single females before you get an invite. No single males have an actual invite yet.
