YSaC, Vol. 959: Otto man Bismarck?
2011 April 5
I’m not sure why this surprises me, exactly, but there are still people in the world who can’t figure out how to spell ottoman. (There’s three different links in there, folks. Go ahead and review. I’ll wait.)

Thanks, Tom, Sands, Marisa, EclecticBlue, MB, Erin, Rosa, rmreader, and Windrose!
Well, unless the “tan leather couch and chair w/Autumn” is referring to the fact that Sparky’s girlfriend is part of the deal, I suggest the following for all future postings which require the spelling of ottoman:
Couch/chair/camel/mango, in great/good/slightly used/auntie-stained/snake-hiding/three-legged condition for sale/steal/giveaway/come take it it’s yours. Comes with
automanaudimanautumnanautomanautimenthing for resting your feet on.You forgot abdomen….
🙂
Lest we forget!
Auntie stained-snake hiding Mango in great condition and available to a happy home?
…..with thing to rest your feet on, Lara! It’s a steal at any price.
What about the firm obo? I would have to assume it’s part of this deal.
It’s not the size of your firm obo that counts, it’s the style of your auto, man.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TACO!
THANKS WINDY!
In Taco’s case, it may be the SIZE OF HIS MASSIVE LINK that counts as well. Happie Birrthday, TackoMajik and your LINK! 8)
Hapday Birthpy, QuesoWicca! 🙂
¡Feliz cumpleaños! our little BurritoSurprise!
I thought Tron was a result of a BurritoSurprise?
Actually Tron was BurritoPlanned.
Ed Gein, is that you?
Now Sparky’s just bragging. I have an abdomen too, but you don’t see me posting about it on CraigsList.
I was relieved to know they had an abdomen. I don’t buy from torsoless people
I take mine everywhere, it’s where I keep many of my favorite organs. And also this squishy bit that’s either my appendix or all the gum I’ve ever swallowed.
I think i-
**thinks twice about what he is about to say**
Nevermind.

Groovy.
*Snaps fingers*
Do as you autumn, add acid to oddoman.
Yo, Taco!!! Happy Birfday!!!!!!!!
:sticks candle in decorated coffee slice:
Happy Birthday, Taco!
Way to survive another year of being you ♥
Happy Birthday, Taco!
Nobody’s you quite like you.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! I got you a cake from CL. It’s a diaper cake which will come in handy if you feel like wearing something different than your thong.
We know it is your birthday
We would have made you cake
But after much discussion
We don’t know how to bake
We went down to the bakery
To have them make parfait
They burnt it to a cinder
Sooooo…..
We got you lingerie.
Happy birthday, MagiMexiMelt.
Baking is science for hungry people.
Happy birthday Taco. You don’t look any older than you did yesterday.
Thanks Guys. You sure know how to make a Mystical Tortilla Entrée feel loved.
Also:
Mystical Entrée is IF’s Bowling for Soup knock-off band.
Bowling for Soup reference…… priceless!
or at least 10 firm obos
*points*
Look, an otter, man!
Oooh, I sound like a Sparky!
Happy Taco, Birthday!
Happy Birthday, TacoMagic! May you have many more, at least enough to be able to drive to the supermarket and forget what you were about to do before you even get out of the driveway!
Happy you-niversary Taco, from a place where it’s already not-you-day again. 🙂
It’s a chair, it’s a divan, it’s Oddoman!
I may be able to help the Sparky’s of the world. I find the best way to remember things like this is to put it in a song, perhaps something like this:
I am the very model of a comfortable ottoman
My frame is strong and make of oak, my leather is Corinthian
I’ve held aloft the feet and derrieres of self-made royalty
And all I have to offer could be yours now for a modest fee
I’m very well-acquainted, too, with matters podiatrical
From bromhidrosis, athlete’s foot and bunions most theatrical
From fallen arches, hammertoe, and other types of foot disease
I’ve given the afflicted aid and comfort with amazing ease
I’ve given the afflicted aid and comfort with amazing ease
I’ve given the afflicted aid and comfort with amazing ease
I’ve given the afflicted aid and comfort with amazimazing ease
My top is soft and pillowy, like resting on J-Lo’s behind
Coincidentally, the act of stuffing it will blow your mind
But if you cannot spell it right, I’ll brain you with a frying pan
It’s O-T-T-O-M-A-N, and that’s how you spell ottoman.
No, if you cannot spell it right, I’ll brain you with a frying pan
It’s O-T-T-O-M-A-N, and that’s how you spell ottoman.
way to earworm Gilbert and Sullivan on me
As a certified geek, I not only have the Gilbert and Sullivan earworm, I have it as performed by Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner.
Followed closely by Bradley Whitford, Rob Lowe, and Emily Procter.
But thou — from thy reluctant hand
The thunderbolt is wrung —
Too late thou leav’st the high command
To which thy weakness clung;
All Evil Spirit as thou art,
It is enough to grieve the heart
To see thine own unstrung;
To think that God’s fair world hath been
The footstool of a thing so mean;
Lord Byron from Ode to Napoleon Buonoparte
GAK!
All right — some class in the snark!
My all-time favorite is still “otterman”.
I still think that would be an awesome name for a superhero.
Isn’t Otterman the Ostrimu’s sidekick?
The New Adventures of Ostrimu and Otterman!
Tuesdays at 3:05 pm on TBS.
[hipster] “I used to watch Ostrimu and Otterman when you could only see them online, but not now that they have gone all corporate and are on TBS. Sell-outs.” [/hipster]
I get to be the Ostrimu’s sidekick? Awesome!
[me corey]I reference the fact of this avatar, and its origin in a Redwall-centric rp forum, where the screen-name Astrognash originated via my character there, who was an otter.[/corey]
*sniff, sniffle* I’m so proud! I finally submitted a listing worthy of posting on YSaC. I don’t know if I should have a cigarette or buy everyone bubblegum cigars.
Yeah, Windy!!
I’ll take some vintage cereal if you have any.
Sure, CJ. Rummage around in the box while you’re there today, and you should find some under the abdomen.
Edit: Ew.
Addendum: Also ew.
Ew et al.
Ew to the fourth power.
Oh, great…left in the bawks alone and all I got was this abdomen.
Ew to the nth degree.
Ewfinity!
Ew, ad infinitum et nauseum et cetera, et cetera.
Yay, me too! (Though, I did have that creepy one last summer about the man looking for used children’s clothes…. shudder…) I’m honored to be sharing today with you 😀
Most of the ones I send in are pretty tame compared to what actually makes it on the front page. Apparently there just aren’t enough people really, really sucking at Craigslist in Milwaukee/Chicago.
Granted I don’t look through the personals because… ew.
[matt] Don’t you people have JOBS??? Seriously, how do you find time to snark and cruise CL for suckage?? Damn…I’m either pissed or impressed, not sure which [/endmatt]
CJ: I was looking for a couch for realio on CL when I found this one. I even found my actual couch on CL later that day, and it didn’t have any snakes or dead auntie juices in it!
I’m totally ruined for CL and will never buy anything…ever.
It’s our benevolent overlord’s fault.
I occasionally look to see if someone’s selling a musical instrument I’d be interested in so I can bug my dad about it.
The thing about musical instruments is, there’s tons of blowing, fingering, tapping, and tonguing, but not much in the way of sucking. I do find something occasionally, but even then it’s usually not that bad.
So …
many …
inappropriate …
jokes …
I …
can’t …
make …
:twitch, twitch:
Damn you, Amazing Captain Jailbait.
I had to hide under my desk and hyperventilate into my lunch sack for a few minutes.
*Looks at what he typed*
Damn you unintended innuendo*, why do you stalk me?!
*IF’s US version of the Accidental Band.
😀
I was about to burst from unreleased snark buildup until I realized that Astro’s post is like those fridge magnets with words in them you can construct your own snark out of, so I didn’t really need to do anything. It writes itself.
Which is great, because my lunch sack* couldn’t take much more.
* By which I mean lunch sack. Y’all are filthy**.
** By which I mean someone really needs to sweep these corners.
How many tromboners does it take to change a lightbulb?
Six. One to grope for it, one to screw it in, and four to make lewd sexual comments about it.
Y’know, tv just has not been the same since they canceled Automen.
Capn…TV hasn’t been the same since Uncle Miltie left the soundstage.
Having just returned from a looong weekend in Florida involving entirely too many fermented beverages, sunburn, sand in my swimsuit, mutually purchased lapdances (don’t ask, there isn’t enough brain bleach to even begin to tell the story; there are photos on my camera that I am still afraid to look at yet), “enough glitter to choke a showgirl” (TM Meredith), and more cubanos calientes than you can shake a swizzle stick at, all my brain sees when it reads this line is ONE GIANT EUPHEMISM. If you’ll excuse me, I now need to go stick my head in a giant vat of brain bleach + coffee.

Bacon?? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!
Woo! Thanks for the heads up. I love ThinkGeek — but then I’m a geek. Filled out the form. Now we’ll see if I get picked, and if so, what they’ll send me.
Do let us know! I hope it’s bacon. 8)
I can’t say as I’m all that keen on mailed bacon. Unless it was bacon jerky. I would be very keen on bacon jerky.
Prussian Dictators FTW!
You know what? I just had a brilliant* idea. I’m going to make Otto Von Bismark ottomans and sell them to history grad students. And maybe some Pinochet Pinochle decks, and some Philip II phillips-head screwdrives.
*actual brilliancy will vary with use and contents may settle during shipping.
**fires up Civ4**
I can get you a postcard of Gandhi saying “I studied on killin’ you.”
This is just great! Autumn is my favourite season! And a couch to enjoy it to its fullest, to boot! I’ll have to take the first autumn, though. The second one is apparently “cumffy” and that fills my mind with disturbing pictures. Is this where I get shown to a corner?
Zia – I’m pretty sure you can find it yourself, just follow the worn path on the carpet to where every one is sitting. Welcome to the corner. 🙂
Would you like a leftover iron mango from yesterday? It’s just chock-full of ironic goodness!
No thank you. Ironed mangos are like flattened waffles… where are the little receptacles that hold the syrup?
… what do you mean those are called pancakes?
I think we should just rename the Snark Lounge “The Corner”.
Sounds like a punk bar actually.
Sounds like a pretentious bit of modern art to me.
But then, I rarely get modern art.
I’m in good company, it seems.
Even if we are bad company, you are welcome here!
Don’t you mean cumpany?
**Oh, look, the corner’s a bourgeoisie statement of man’s inhumanity towards man!**
No, no, pretentious beat poetry is in the other corner. This corner pipes in Tim Minchin over the PA.
I agree with Zia…. And we should keep HamCan and Mr Winky away from the cumffy couch!
Awww, nobody lets me do nuffin’ fun anymore *pout*
Wasn’t there a shirt for sale a while ago that was “cumffy”?
*on my way to the corner*
NEED MOAR CAFFEINE.
Carryon.
*passes giant vat of coffee*
Here, I’m just making a little* more. It’s one of those days here, too.
*a little = enough to sink the Bismarck
I still have that picture of baby red pandas that TM linked to last week… It’s helping with the mood, but it’s not doing much chemically :-p
P.S. The yawn! Squee!
Do De Do.
Ack! The goggles, they do nothing!
A Radioactive Man quote; nice.
Taco! *accusing glare* My work computer says you’re linking me to pr0nz…
Probably because it’s on Freeadscanada.com.
I’ve never seen the site before, but the name is less than reputable.
I just google image searched something (not hawt prawn) and posted the linky. Seeing as that particular image came up for about 30 different calassafied ad sites, it’s probably a stock image.
Here is a similar, yet different image from a more reputable site.
That’s not pronz, that’s a fennec!♥!
It’s a good thing I don’t work with animals*, because my “squee” was definitely ultrasonic.
*Excluding the programming team
Ooh, I love fennec foxes! Those ears! Those wonderful ears! I bet they could pick up shortwave.
Lola, my sympathies — a giant vat of coffee must be worse to pass than a kidney stone!
Innana, I am getting my exercise going back and forth to the facilities, that’s for certain! (Plus the physical activity is helping me stay awake.)
Ottomatic for the People is the name of my R.E.M cover band.
I love when they play “Losing My Religion” on Mango Irons and Axed Receivers.
Tonight, at the 40 Watt (if anything is, it’s that band).
Patio footstool = ottoman out.
She proped my feet up high last night.
Zero Comfort, legs up there.
And I’m gonna be cramped all over by then.
I miss the cowch so much I miss my ad.
It’s french Prudential you know!
My whole room is calassy now!
And I think it’s gonna be a long long cowch
Till Craigslist shows me better things online!
This is not the deal I’m looking for!
Oh no, no no I want an Ottoman
Ottoman! Speeling like a sparky all day, online!
It reads better if you read it to the Shatner version of the song.
Time to let the cat out of the box. Punchity Punch Punch, CJ!
G’Night, Wisconsin!
