Nerd-friendly accomodations for a Sheldon Cooper type (597)
Do you like this story?
Kijiji Calgary brings us this room rental ad inspired by the Big Bang Theory TV show. If I weren't married and living in the opposite end of the country in my own Cat6-wired house, I'd have a look! I'm putting this in the Kijiji Hall of Fame in a clear display of nerd bias.
Want to live in a place like Sheldon's from Big Bang Theory?
Price $550.00
Address Calgary, AB T3K 5P1, Canada
Furnished Yes
Looking for a liked-minded roommate, either male or female to come and share nerdvana with me up in the NW in Panorama Hills... must be as clean and germaphobic as Sheldon, as quiet as Raj when sober, and chaffeur me around like Leonard...j/k... I can drive... NO WOLOWITZS!
