!!!!!!!Refringerator!!!!!!!!!! – $50


very nice call xxx-xxx-xxxx ask for cory

 

 

I am SO glad this popped up on Craigslist! I’ve been looking for a refringer for a long time now. I have so many things that desperately need refringing. I’ve been trying to do it by hand, but it’s so hard to get the weasel to sit still and wear the little hat for that long.

Thanks, SD!

    Ah, the heady days of the ’60s & ’70s, when everything was fringed. Normally, all one needs is the channel TVLand, and there will be Sonny & Cher, Captain & Tennile, and so on.
    The magic, glowy boxes to do that, are all encompassing–so, that is not the function here, perhaps.

    If you consider the photo, it’s in some sort of basement or dark place. The apparatus depicted has no visible flight controls nor viewscreens. It does not see to be either iOS or ‘Droid compatible.

    If we extend this a bit further, then this is a very serious equipment, indeed. It is the polygonal accelerator responsible for the resurgence of the series Fringe.

    Truly, Sparky knows not what dicing with the Fate Of The universe s/he is about (generally true of sparkii). And for a mere $50 (another sparkii trait). Could this be the lair of the Tri-Lateral commision? Is the cromogulator of ChemTrails just around the corner (three for $200 or $60 each, but U hav 2 pick up)?

    [drinks coffee]

    Oh, spark’ is an idiot.
    [moves along, as there is nothing to see here]

      I haven’t yet had enough coffee to compute the upper 3/4ths, Capn, but doors for the last comment. That will be my earworm all day, spoken in Mr. Eyebrows’ Irish cop brogue. 😀 Thanks!

    These smaller ones are often beyond the fringe of usefulness with insufficient freezer sections — many are cold, but few are frozen.

    Why is that pole there? Is the refringer working her way through HVAC school?

      Just wait until the pole dance is over and the doors open. Hubba hubba!
      Ice cream!

      (Is it my imagination, or is that one stout little appliance?)

      The pole is there to show that this is a parallel appliance. If you are small enough to fit through the door, you can enter the fringe and retrieve all of your lost socks. I can’t fit through mine anymore. The twisting I have to do to get my shoulders through really hurts my back. I’ve been thinking of selling mine too. Mine is brown.

    As a newbie here, I hate to be the one to correct my elders and betters, but I think you are misreading this ad. It’s not a REfringer. It’s a REFringer. Since the end of the NFL referee strike Sparky is no longer in need of it so he’s letting it go for cheap.

        I meant elders in terms of more experienced posters on this blog lol. I doubt most of you are elder than I am in years lived.

    Sparky doesn’t mention it, but this particular “refringerator” also doubles as a pole dancer.

    Dammit! I could really have used this thing when I was crocheting my ugly hat. I could never get the fringe right on it, I kept having to frog it out and refringe by hand, and that never seems to work quite right.

    I guess the opening in front is where the roll of fringe goes in, and then the fringed garment comes out the back? I was never good at applied appliances.

    Hell no. I am not calling anyone named “Cory” or any variation of “Cory” regarding Craigslist postings. I’ll be on the phone with him forever enduring his indignant rage. My cowgirl skirt doesn’t need refringing that badly.

    The last !!!!!!!Refringement!!!!!!!!!! I went through was horrible. Bound in brackets, being trotted out in front of all those people, with my punctuation exposed. I felt so dirty. I spent weeks trying to lick myself clean.
