Now, far be it from me to point out the obvious – but is it really necessary to specify that you no longer want the thing you are selling? If you wanted it, isn’t it fair to assume that you wouldn’t be selling it? Conversely, doesn’t the fact that you are selling it necessarily mean that you don’t want it?
Also… dirt pepsi?
Thanks for the scary, that girl!
This guy’s English is terrible!
But, his German isn’t half bad.
I feel that this could be the first line of a pretty decent song.
I thought it was count@coaccola.com
Counting Cloacas? The edgier version of Counting Crows?
Cloaca-Cola, the drink of sexy birds.
Ah dowent unnerstain whach teh prolbem is wif dis add? Mebbe iz jess meh.
Yup, totally just “meh”.
Little known fact: The Mear is the first Moose/Bear hybrid ever found in the wild. Captive breeding programs have thus proven fruitless, though.
Although not for the bears. They rather enjoy it. The moose, not so much.
Well, no wonder the the captive breeding program was fruitless. The bees couldn’t get in to pollinate them.
Mear, mear, on the wall, which one of us is the most spelling-challenged of all?
Go easy on him, his spell-checker exploded last week.
He typed “suppossably” and the damn thing just went off in his face.
Well, the last ten words make sense.
I don’t think anyone has used it since reentry, and it’s likely not very safe to be around it, what with all the radiation. Oh, who am I kidding? I’ll take it!
Ooh, that could be cool, if he has a chunk of the Mir space station and he’s just spelling it wrong (what are the chances?). I could live in it and pretend I’m Peter Stormare in Armageddon! Actually, maybe that’s what Sparky is doing. That would explain the spelling; he’s trying to type with a Russian accent.
Or the radiation fried too many brain cells!
“i habe a huge mear mesures 5’4” in hight by 3′ acrost ”
She could be talking about Casey Mears. Them Nascar drivers are kind of short, but I don’t think Casey is quite 3′ acrost.
He kinda let himself go these last few months…
Or maybe Indy car legend Rick Mears. I’d deal with this Sparky for Rick Mears. No matter what his current dimensions.
“and we will figure it out from there”
Can I please have his contact info? I desperately need to figure this out.
I’m pretty sure Dirt Pepsi was introduced as a direct competitor against New Coke. It wasn’t as infamous though, because the name pretty much admitted what it tasted like, whereas New Coke took everybody by surprise.
Also, “mear” sounds like a noise my cat makes.
Dirt Pepsi – still more successful than Crystal Pepsi.
Ah, they should have gone directly to Cristal Pepsi
I hear Crystal Meth Pepsi does very well.
The shaking isn’t from the caffeine, though.
Enjoy Crystal Meth Pepsi, the crisp, clear way to keep the spiders away.
What’s wrong with spiders? Specieist!
Don’t make us get a Kleenex!
Dirt Pepsi: Still more entertaining than Joe Dirt*.
*Not true. Loved that movie. “Is this where you wanna be when Jesus comes back?!”
I was thinking Dirt Pepsi was a ‘Joe Dirt’ promotional can of Pepsi.
Buckwheat lives!
And I bet he’s still wookin’ pa nub.
I keep reading “mear” as “smear”, which makes it all the more disturbing.
Last time I tried to email a day, the Time Lords got angry. Can I use a pickup truck to come get it instead?
I think an entire day would exceed the limit of what I can e-mail. Maybe I could fit a half-an-hour, if I put it in a .zip file
“other mis stuff”
Dang, I’m a missus, so I can’t get involved. Good thing there’s nothing here I want.
Windy, I think you can still buy it if you have really bad aim.
Im Jess A. Sole hose in ten sins argued
Olod, police doughn’t lech me Bea Miss Undie Stud.
Miss Undie Stud is IF’s cover band for David Bowie.
Not to defend Sparky, but just because you are selling something doesn’t mean you don’t want the thing you are selling. There are a myriad of reasons you could be selling something including the ever popular need to pay bills.
That said, I think dirt Pepsi was an attempt to compete with the Italian soda that Coke produces. The name escapes me, but it definitely tastes like dirt.
I’ve been to the World of Coke in Atlanta, and the Italian drink called “Beverly” in their hall of international flavors was unabashedly horrid. Imagine mint Listerine mixed with Cherry Coke, and severely watered down.
Beverly was the one I was talking about! I had it at the Coke World in Vegas in September. We all agreed it was dirt flavored and we began questioning Italian taste buds.
Luigi, I have had too much good food, how will I ever enjoy your pasta risotto with veal and truffle sauce as it deserves?
Giuseppi, take some of this horrible American drink. After that, even a plate of ashes will make your mouth sing with delight!
San Pel Chinotto is pretty dirty.
In the case of rabbits, sometimes you have to sell some you would rather keep just to free up cage space for new arrivals. I sometimes regret selling favorites so much I go and pay extra just to buy them back.
Dave and Ferret, you have a difficult task ahead of you today. You must keep the peace in the box, armed only with this piece of chalk and your ready wit. Good luck.
Daaaaaaaave, Lyle is on my side again!
Lady on Tradio: Hello, I have seven pap smears I’d like to sell.
DJ;What? You have what?
LoT:Pap smears, My husband has been storing them in the garage. He passed away last year and I don’t want them anymore.
DJ: Pap smears, you’re selling pap smears on the radio. Is this for real? Why would anyone try to sell pap smears?
LoT: What do you mean?
DJ: They’re PAP SMEARS lady. That’s pretty wierd.
LoT: Not really, one has ducks on it, another has a moose, and another has geese, and elk.
DJ: Oh, (laughs) I missunderstood. Well that makes sense then. Sorry folks.
That’s Pabst Mirrors for those of you who didn’t get this.
OHH! Mirrors!
I got it, but it took me a while.
5′-4″ and 3′ across guy: Psst, mear. yeah you, k’mear. I got these 6 packs of pepsi and coke products I want to sell you. I drank them all but the bottles are collector’s items.
Selling empty bottles huh? You could maybe get a nickel apiece in some states, a dime in California.
Just the other day I drank a beer from the early 90’s. I think it was called SkünkenBräu.
It wasn’t so good.
Good to see Boomhauer finally clearing out the garage.
IF, I don’t care what cover band you’re touring with, I will be your groupie forever for that comment.
But first you have to find a pair of sequined lederhosen that will fit a tank.
To quote the Cap’n: Words fail me…
No. Words failed Sparky. You, on the other hand, are just expecting too much of them.
I mean Sparky could have grabbed a third grader off the street to help him with this ad and come out with something cleaner and more legible than this. Granted, he’d probably also be arrested by Chris Hansen*…but at least his ad would have made more sense.
Mear, Mear is the big movie opening today, isn’t it?
*anybody in the mood for some sweet tea?*
That was as far as my brain read before wandering off… then everything came to a screeching halt with a, “Wait, what?!”
What the he** is a mear? Since when did 5 year olds who can’t spell get to post on Criag’s list?
Who are you to tell us who can and can’t port on the Crag’s lisp?
OT Just want to let everyone know, in case you aren’t already my friend on Facebook, you can actually friend me! No, really! Look for Demi Hungerford, and tell me who you are on here. I won’t stalk you, I will get to know you. No, really. 8) *parks the windowless van around the back of the lounge.
She’s got awesome candy, though it makes me kinda sleep… zzzzzzzzzzzzz
She posts pictures of nekkid birdies!
Hi Windrose – if you get a facebook friend request from Corralejo its me!
Friend request sent, I am the black hat on the lattice.
I’m the One with the nekkid scalp.
Hooray, new friends! 8)
Although I find poor spelling /grammar intolerable, when I read this, I see someone with a learning disability. My daughter is 3 years behind in reading and spelling and would probably write something such as this. I don’t find it funny. I find it sad. This person may not have someone in their lives to help them. Also, sorry, I don’t mean to get up on my high horse and scold. I just think there is always two sides to everything.
Dear Concerned Momn, we get it. We totally get it. We would never do this if there was a chance the person involved would know about it. Or be hurt by it. In real life, we are a secret band of super heroes who help the less fortunate. We come here to chill out and get some relief from our daily worries.
As long as your daughter knows how to use spell check, everything should be fine. 8)
Thanks for your reply. Obviously, the fact I’m on your site, indicates I see the humour in it too. But every once in a while I worry it’s gonna be my kid on one of these sites. You can appreciate how that would make you feel. She will learn how to use spell check – or I will help her. Thank you.
Concerned Momn, I totally get your concern … and in fact, we frequently don’t post things that feel to us like someone has a disability of some kind, or is just a result of someone being a second language speaker, because we don’t feel like making fun of that is funny at all. If I tried to write in Spanish, for example, it would be (mostly) the right words in the wrong order with the wrong verb conjugations — so that kind of thing isn’t snarkworthy for me.
Similarly, I won’t claim to be an expert on learning disabilities, or their effect on spelling/writing (although I do encounter both of these things fairly regularly in my day job), but this ad didn’t (and still doesn’t) seem to me to be the result of a disability.
Also, we try very hard not to resort to commentary that just consists of “HA HA you’re stupid because you spelled mirror wrong!”. We try to ensure that we’re making fun of the ad, not the person. We don’t always succeed in that, and I’ll be the first to admit it — but it really is part of the intent of the site.
I do appreciate you reading, and commenting.
Sister Lyle, please give Dave and Taco these for me: Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Atlanta!
