YSaC, Vol. 1460: Apteri? Apteryxsses? Apteryxiae?

2013 March 1

Well, it’s time to wrap up “posts mostly not about recliners” week here at YSaC. I hope you enjoyed the not-recliner-containingness of most but not all of the posts this week. Next week – posts not about apteryxes!

will take your unwanted fish turles etc


hello i will take your unwanted fish turles frogs etc for free and if your getting rid of the tank too looking for guppies patty cilids frogs red slider turles etc please call me at ########## thanks and have a wonderful day

Well, I’ll just point out that if anyone here has a brand new set of water skis that they don’t want, I’ll be happy to take them. Also the boat, if you’re getting rid of that as well. However, if you have any unwanted apteryxes, Sparky here probably wants them.

Thanks for the post, JW!

    No, I’m not getting rid of the tank. How else am I going to invade Poland?

      Invading Poland is so last century.

          I think they use baguettes over there.

          I think the preferred method of invading France is to just threaten them with a bar of soap.

    One Sparky wants to take your stuff for free. Another wants you to be his maid (and provide certain other services) and won’t charge you for the honor. Is this a great time to be alive, or what?

    Sparky, have you ever seen the show, Hoarders? Do you have dead turtles in your freezer? When was the last time you took the trash out of the house?

      It’s also a failed spinoff of a kids’ show that was extremely popular in the nineties.

    I got rid of a guppy once. His name was Roger and he was evil. He killed the other guppies in the tank one by one, by nibbling on their fins until they couldn’t swim anymore. So I took him back to the pet store and they fed him to the red shark.

    Absolutely true story. Sorry there’s no punch line.

        No, I thought Roger the Killer Guppy was a pretty good name on its own. And this was many years pre-Jeffrey Dahmer.

    *typing Craigslist ad*

    Oh, man, this is the best idea I’ve ever had. I’ll have loads of free seafood in no time.

    …Unless they catch on and want to charge me for their delicious pets. Hmm, let’s see. “and if your getting rid of the tank too.”

    They’ll never suspect a thing!

    Needed – unwanted national budget.

    Certain country seems to have hired governing body with lack of 4th-grade math skills. If your country has an extra national budget it no longer needs, please consider giving away.*

    Also, if you happen to have buckets full of unwanted common sense, we sure could use some.

    If you can’t part with these things for free, said hired governing body will soon be out of a job – be aware though, if you take them, your country’s average ego will at least double while average IQ may be reduced to half its level. We recommend limiting them to test subjects for medical research.

    (*Unfortunately, as country in need is now starting budget cuts that prevent most government employees from traveling for work, we’ll need you to come deliver – paying your own travel expenses, of course.)
