We here at Show and Tell receive tips from a lot of strange and surprising places — including, recently, a laundromat near the Ninth and Corona King Soopers. That’s where one eagle-eyed tipster discovered the most oddly specific (and generally glorious) roommate ad we’ve ever seen. We’ll give you a hint: For this roommate, no shoes and no shirt are definitely no problem. Continue reading for details on the clothing-optional living situation — and the burning questions the ad inspired in us.

The positives in this ad are vast: $525/month in Capitol Hill is almost unheard of these days, and you wouldn’t even have to pay extra for utilities. The place already has a Comcast hookup. Plus, your future roommate, despite his strange preference, has a solid grasp on English grammar and mentions absolutely nothing about “putting the lotion on its skin.” These are all good signs.

But we’ve still got questions: 1. Why would a renter seeking someone who doesn’t wear clothes advertise in a laundromat? 2. Won’t that move be cold in December? 3. What kind of house parties will the two of you throw?
