YSaC, Vol. 228: Profound, or just stupid?

Black Volvo XC 70 – $4300


Engine is in Excellent Shape, does not smoke, does not leak, nice and quiet. email for more pics and details. Leather seats.

Against this choice walks each incorrect gang. A gutter lurks across every undone fiddle. The benefit resists the faced shorthand over an adviser. Should a terminology peer near a spiral skin?

OOOooooh, goody, it’s Mad Libs time! Here’s the format:

Has a/Is a/Did a/Will a (noun)  (verb) across/near/over/with/by/for each/every/a/an/the (adjective) (noun)?

Play at home. Report back. Here’s one of my results:

Is a penchant enrolling over every ashen trickle?

It’s also nice to see that the Volvo engine has kicked that nasty nicotine habit. I would get really tired of shoving the cigarettes into the radiator.

    Haha, that’s great! Here’s my phrase:
    “Is a lizard shaded near massive timber?”

    Aw, mine doesn’t sound deep. Just obvious. (Yes, the lizard would be shaded by a massive timber.)

    Will a rating define every diagonal psychologist? Well, regardless, the writer of this post should probably see one of the better rated diagonal psychologists, and fast.

    Here’s mine, which I did without benefit of software: Is a spammer found under every Internet rock?

    Seriously, that’s like the junk spammers put in their messages to make them look like real text. Something is not right here, whether it’s the poster’s legitimacy or just his grip on reality. I wouldn’t touch this ad with a ten-foot pole.

    Does a reflection escape from every suborbital collusion? This reminds me of one of those spam emails that pulls sentences out of literature to try to fool the spam filters. Sadly, I think this one is serious.

    I haven’t done my MadLib yet, because I’m still stuck on the “undone fiddle.” I think there’s a double meaning there. Are they talking a violin? Or a verb, like fidget – fiddle around with. Hmmm… If only I had their original MadLibs form, I’d know.

    “Excellent Shape, does not smoke, does not leak, nice and quiet.” There should be more personal ads like this one.

      Sadly, only one of those things applies to my cat. I’ll leave it to you to figure out which one.

    Well, I’ve never seen a cat smoke except very briefly once when a friend’s cat investigated a burning candle and got his whiskers singed. So if I had to guess…
    Also, using “uncommon” setting:
    Has an underpart bugled any glottal tactfulness?

    Setting aside the MadLibs aspect:

    Since when is “not smoking” and “not leaking” the mark of an engine in “excellent” shape? Personally, I consider those aspects to be the baselines of an adequate engine, not an excellent one.

      [boring corey from the future]
      As a matter of fact, a number of UK brands–Triumph, MG, Morris, come to mind–are only in correct ‘tune’ when a certain quantity of rocker-cover leaking oil drips upon the exhaust manifold.

      This, it is said, is why the English (or, per some wags, the Italians) have been unable to build a competitive main-frame computer.

      To the precise point, a two-stroke internal combustion engine must needs both smoke and drip oil a bit, or it will not run well at all.

      “Sophisticated Spork” would be an awesome name for a band.

      No, the spork was not that sophisticated.

    Spiral skin is embarrassing and it takes a couple of months for it to go away. I’m just glad the body part with this condition was covered with clothing most of the time.

      Don’t worry, OMV. We will never peer over your spiral skin. Just control any leakage.

      He did do a few benefit concerts for incorrect gangs and lurking gutters in the early ’90s I believe, before he got all into the diminishing rainforest and Amnesty International.
