Hugh Podmore wants to live with you. Not in a weird way, though. And only if you live in Toronto's west end, and can handle sharing a pad with a kite-surfing would-be Master of Space. Non-smokers only, please.

The recent McGill grad is starting a master's degree program at York University in the fall, but doesn't know many people in Toronto. So, like many students looks for a place to live, he posted an ad on Craigslist.

But Podmore decided his request needed a bit more punch, so he posted a series of 37 photos of himself and his whiteboard messages to Imgur.com.

A link to it was posted to the Toronto section of Reddit yesterday, where it appears Podmore may have found the Janet and Chrissy to his Jack.

Hey, I believe we still have a room in the place I'm moving out of right now, it's beautiful (only leaving b/c I'm moving in with my partner), $620 for the room, everything included, including internet and cable. Christie and Bloor area (5 minute walk to subway). Message me if you're interested! We're looking for a July 15th or Aug 1st move in. We wanted to go with someone we know but...you seem amazing. collocake
D'aww, shucks, you're too kind! As for the offer, yes! I'm totally interested! I'd also be down with an August 1st move in, especially for that price and location. I'll actually be in Toronto this weekend to visit friends and look for apartments / roommates, maybe we could meet up and I could see the place?mrpodmore

The link made it to the front page of Reddit yesterday after it was cross-posted to /r/funny, where the reaction was a little different.

The link to the Imgur gallery has been passed around Twitter and Facebook, too, with many praising Podmore's originality and a few offering to shack up with the red-headed Quidditch player.

(And, yes, the McGill Quidditch team is a real thing. They play a real-life version of the broom-flying sport from the Harry Potter novels.)

So we did.
Here's his current profile picture, a drawing of him as a Canadian Space Agency astronaut from what he calls the "best greeting card of all time."

As well, Podmore publicly posted photos of himself in the activities he mentioned among his interests in his presentation, kite surfing and rock climbing...

...as well as something called "volcano boarding," which sounds made-up and looks incredibly radical.
