Great. Now look what you’ve done.
Thanks for the post, Nathan!
You’ve heard of chainsaw sculpture, right? Sparky wants to take up chainsaw poetry.

P.S. also have slightly used table saw, band saw, lathe, and other sharp instruments, for sale. Need to move fast as I am
scheduled for limb reattachment surgeryretiring next week.Half horse new
Half horse old
Half horse you smoked pot 9 days in a row
All hail Tygod, ruler of the interwebs!
I read both ads and this is what got me.
I don’t think I’m rugged enough for a one and half horse shaver. I’m just glad it is electric instead of gas because of the vibration.
I’m picturing a tiny horse, and an even tinier horse, pulling razor blades across someone’s face like a normal sized horse would pull a plow across a field.
Will take obo
Tygod bless
Half a horse
Is such a mess

So, is One the length and Half the width? How long is a Horsepower? Distances on a horse is usually measured in furlongs. Am I going to need a spotter to help me lift it? Horses are also measured with hands. I think I could handle hands okay.
Oh tygod! Sparky is selling me along with a half horse powered by an electric chainsaw!
Disclaimer: I would like to say at this time that I have never owned or been affiliated with half a horse, an electric chainsaw, or an obo. I am also
unawarenot aware of me posting this ad or knowing any Sparky involved with this ad.There seems to be a discrepancy in the value Sparky puts on his chainsaw. It’s either $25 or thirty dollars. The $25 is bold and the thirty dollars
areis spelled out. Can you buy just as much stuff with $25 as you can with thirty dollars? Who has the conversion chart for this?Oh, dear, let me wake up the catulator. Halfhorse divided by chainsaw at thirty dollars a pound, plus $25 for delivery to mafia boss of your choice, equals a dozen sheep eyeballs.
Okay. I’ll try again later.
“…one half horse … obo….”
Is Sparky making an offer you can’t refuse?
I think he wants $25 or will take 30 oboes in trade…..he’s starting an oboe marching band.
…..The Plastic Oboe Band…..
What’s the other half of the obo made of?
Er. Uh. Sorry. Didn’t do the box yesterday. Busy week trying to not be homeless. Will get to it soon. Soooooooooon.
Lawrence Welk is selling his saw I see…

Smiles everyone, smiles.
You are not familiar with Tygod, He Who Is Worshipped By Chainsaw Users?
Is he related to Tyr?
More likely Ty Pennington.
Soon finally showed up! Ralph, Hammy, C””J, M2N2, line up over here by the half horse. Make your peace with Tygod. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Day, Texans!
Good day to you, Windy……(signed) TEXAS
Wow! That didn’t take as long as I thought it would for such a big state. 8)
I wonder how many horses this thing has cut in half. I won’t take anything less than three. The last chainsaw I bought that was less than six half-horses just couldn’t handle the job at hand.
