YSaC, Vol. 1683: Let It Snow

Saddle light dish


Saddle light dish, 10 foot diameter, super heavy duty custom made roof stand. Still mounted on garage roof. Make offer. Call Mike.

I don’t quite understand – am I expected to take your entire garage roof with me when I purchase your saddle light dish? Weird. OK, I guess I’ll need an appropriate TV to attach it to.

Move a 27″ Older TV from the house and take it with you


Analog TV from Best Buy has snow on screen now

Still works but no picture

Heavy and need help to remove it
no stairs

Yep. That seems about right.

Thanks, sd and Ted!

    I’ll trade you this iPod that I just bought from another Sparky.

    Were one a person inclined to apply one’s electronics repair skills to older technology, one of the questions of least importance is the where appliance was purchased.

    Tho- there is an intriguing notion that the poor picture could be due to connection to a saddled-heavy video source.

    Which makes the initial posting intriguing–except that the large tv dish size, back in the day, was 21 feet (or 7 meters). The ten foot dimension suggests that this is an exceptionally poor piece of tack (which could explain why it is no closer to the horses than the garage roof).

    Do they come with a tin foil hat to keep the aliens from reading my brain waves? And a follow up question – when did you realize your local Best Buy was built on an Indian burial ground, Sparky Anne?

    “Saddle light dish.” That is so perfect. In just three words it sums up everything that is wrong and hilarious about the ads that make it on this site.

      This is why English is so hard to learn when someone comes from elsewhere…..” saddle light, satellite, sat-on-light,….”. It’s (Its) just so damned confusing…..I’m going to the lounge early today with my copy of the Hitchhiker’s Guide. Can someone bring me a Jin’nin T’onique, please??? BYE! BY! BUY!

    With apologies to the Llamanun:

    Saddle light
    On my roof
    Heavy more than 10 feet high
    How I wonder
    Saddle light
    it’s custom built
    All you need is a tube
    To watch every mother station

    Got an old set from Best Buy
    Shows me snow, imagine your own picture
    Everything’s broke, needs replacing
    No stairs to go down, heavy, help, saddle light

    Of course the saddle light dish is mounted on the garage roof. I mean, if the saddle lights need a dish that is 10 ft across, the horse has got to be at least Godzilla sized.

    And if your tv works but has snow, I suggest bringing it back inside.

    Mike and the 27″ guy (yeah, riiiiiiiiight…where have I heard that one before?), never did get along.

    I think it all started when Mike tried to sell 27’s television, so 27 retaliated by placing an ad for Mike’s saddle light.

    This will not end well.

    The saddle light dish on the roof is full of snow. So the television only shows snow. Fix the hole in the roof. All will be well.

    You’re my saddle light
    You’re riding with me tonight
    Passenger side, lighting the sky
    Always the first dish that I find
    You’re my saddle light

    “Still works but no picture”? So, it’s a 27″ radio, right?

    Still works but no picture

    You know, for those who are still nostalgic about sitting the whole family around the vacuum-tube cabinet radio for the evening’s entertainment.

    Sadly, the number of those people is dwindling down as time goes on, and since a lot of them aren’t too adept at this new-fangled “computer” thing, I suspect Sparky’s target audience will go untapped.

    I’ve gotta wonder how long a 10′ satellite dish has been sitting in this guy’s roof considering the current state of dish tv technology and what prompted him to finally go about getting rid of it.

      So what you’re saying is that the saddle light dish is as outdated as the grandmaphone and the candle opera?

      Probably that neither Dish nor Direct tv can be tuned in with it (with or without the consent of those companies).

    I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,
    I see by my outfit that I am one too;
    We see by our outfits that we are both cowboys —
    If you get an outfit you can be a cowboy too.

      That’s beautiful. Do you feel anything?

      I have that on cassette tape somewhere.
