YSaC, Vol. 320: Ice cream does fix everything.
Elle, who was also responsible for the “Free blowdry and style” submission, sent this one in. It got flagged almost immediately, but luckily she’d taken a screenshot:
Click here for a larger version, and be confused for a while. The two pictures themselves are like those puzzles in Highlights magazines where you were supposed to spot the differences between the two pictures: The hair comb! The green thing! The white/grey square blob to the right of the pink thing just above his head! Find and collect them all!
Elle says, “I have so many questions. What/where is GUATSUSNAKE? Who is “HE”? Are they offering up an unemployed/retired person? A snake? Why did they include two almost-identical Photoshopped photos? Is that a mannequin? A dead body? Is there anything that ice cream doesn’t fix?
This may have put me off Craigslist forever.”
Here, I’ll save you the trouble — here’s a link to a Google search for “guatsusnake“. You’ll notice that nothing comes up. (I’m hoping the search engines will catch the word quickly enough that it will link back here by the time this post goes up!)
In other words: Nope, I’ve got nothing.

I’m disappointed that clicking on the picture doesn’t actually bring anything up. You tricked me! *shakes fist*
Sorry — it’s fixed now.
Agree with Sarah, I want to see the bigger version of the picture. (my eyesight sucks)
I wish more things were ice-cream powered. Besides GUATSUSNAKE and my girlfriend.
I like that the google search says “Did you mean: goatsnake”
Of course. I always mean goatsnake.
The best part is that there are not one, but TWO hits for goatsnake! Google has caught up with YSaC, though. It’s the first (and only) hit after the suggested alternate spellings.
Yay! That was my hope. I wanted to be a Googlewhack for Guatsusnake. (Okay, technically a Googlewhack has to have two words, but … )
I can’t see the larger image either. Damnit! I need to find out what a GUATSUSNAKE is!

I think that picture is going to give me nightmares now…. It does kind of look like a dead body being swallowed up in a pile of garbage in someone’s shed. Great tip Nick, I just wish I hadn’t clicked on the link.
Seems pretty clear to me. His wife has had enough. Just come pick him up and you can have this beautiful… um… fascinating… um… unique… um… ice cream-powered livingroom lounger for your very own.
At least they didn’t say “fried chicken” instead of ice cream.
When I read GUATSUSNAKE I tried figuring it out like you’d figure out random license plate combos. I came up with some misspelling of “Gonna gets yous nake” – maybe implying this fabulous offering is for a man to get you naked?
i am so confused!
So grateful you have a “WTF?!” tag for these occasions
they are referencing the fact that he is black, they’re racist.
What?
I didn’t hear any snark in that whatsoever. Foolish, pugnacious and downright rude. The only racists I know are people who always cry, ‘Racist’ at everyone.
Racist! OH SHI-
Did you mean: goatsnake
a Googlewhack has been born
all are still confused
This is still confusing.
Also, it’s weird to see a post with only 19 (now 20, I guess) comments. I’ve gotten so used to 200+ comments as a usual occurrence.
