YSaC, Vol. 571: Science!

Science Fair Project – M&M Math – $20


I have my daughter’s 3rd grade science fair project that won third place in our small school. Could be used for any elementary grade. It comes complete with board and notebook. The board is covered in Brown fabric and is decorated with M&M packages and paper to look like M&M’s. The notebook folder is yellow with M&M (paper) on the front and includes everything that is on the board. Purpose, Hypothesis, Materials List, Procedure, graph and Conclusion. It does not have my daughters name on it anywhere. It comes with everything except the box of M&M’s that is in the picture. Please let me know if you have any questions.

571

I’m not quite sure of the direction to go here, but I’m pretty sure it involves righteous indignation. I just can’t figure out what I’m feeling more righteously indignant about. Help me, won’t you?

What should I be feeling most righteously indignant about?

Seriously. If you’re going to try to sell your kid’s science fair project, it should have at least won first place. And it should involve lasers. Or robots. Or hamsters. Or robot hamsters with lasers. Some third graders are busily inventing the internet, and your kid is graphing the total number of M&Ms in a package? You must be very proud. And by proud, I mean slimy, since you’re selling your own child’s science fair project. But that’s okay, because you probably did it for them, and you probably ARE proud that it won third place. Although, you’re thinking that it would have placed higher if it hadn’t been for that Jenkins kid, whose father is an engineer and built that robot hamster with lasers that took second place.

This travesty of parenting brought to you by pointyjess!

YSaC, Vol. 570: We’d take him to a doctor, but…

2010 February 7

Quick!

It’s an emergency!

Need eggs delivered right away


We need eggs BUT IT’S FREEZING OUT.

Yes, you would certainly seem to be faced with a conundrum. But where do I come in?

That’s where you come in.

Oh. Right there, then.

Bring us a dozen eggs immediately so we can make breakfast foods. If we
deem you nice and a non-crazy we will make you food too. Else, you must
accept our thank yous to keep you warm on your walk home.

This reads a little like a ransom note. “Bring us a dozen eggs immediately, or you will never see little Timmy again!” Of course, that’s just silly. These are nice and non-crazy people, and they are hoping that their oviparous benefactor will also be nice and non-crazy. Nothing at all crazy here.

NO FUNNY BUSINESS or else you will get tasered.

Er… riiight. Nothing at all crazy here. I think I’ll just be keeping my eggs, thank you very much.

Regards

Wait. Never mind, they send their regards. Here come the eggs!

Thanks for the link, Daniel!

YSaC, Vol 569: I want to be that girl in the mirror, THERE!

2010 February 6

Some time back, we had a post from a serious actress, who just needed a little bit of help. It’s short, so I’m reposting the ad in its entirety. You can click on the title to take you back to the original snark and associated commenting.

Actress Seeking Agent And Exposure


I have Experience In Movies, Theater And print Work. All I Need IS: Legitimate Agent Who I Can Make Believe I’m A Talented actress.
I Also Have A Resume AM Still Building UP.
I am 5”2, 130 With A Curves, Off Cause Curves Is IN, Urban Completion,
Please No Responds From Adult Film Producers.

Well, it’s been a little while, but we haven’t forgotten you!

Hi GIRL do you have any interest in Modeling or Acting ? (*(*( [location] ___)


Hi GIRL do you have any interest in Modeling or Acting ?

I am a professional Talent Scout

If i like your profile you are going to the STARS.

Help me and yourself make a few MILLION DOLLARS LOL

If you don’t think you look good enough THINK AGAIN

Look at all the UGLY KNOWN ACTORS OUT THERE. LOL

It takes MARKETING AND WILLINGNESS to succeed Looks are a plus but not everything. TRUST ME

Modeling Agencies will charge you an ARM and a LEG for shooting your pics then after you paid them, they will file you away LOL

I am your ONLY CHANCE TO SUCCESS if you are serious LOL

Normally, we just comment out phone numbers, but I am going to substitute in a fake telephone number in this case, using the exact style in the original ad:

Five five five 555 five 5 five five

These two are clearly a match made in HEAVEN!

All we have to do is show the AGENT her original PROFILE and she is GOING TO THE STARS.

TRUST ME

Thanks for the link, Stephanie!
