  • YSaC, Vol. 317: I’d go to see “The Droors”, wouldn’t you?

    Chest of Droors and a big fake Plant

    I put this out after the garbage man came by so it will be there for you. Out in the alley, a white chest of droors, but a couple droors are missing, otherwise, it’s made of real wood. There’s also one of those big fake Ficus Trees you see in almost any North Dallas apartment living room corner.
    [address] …. The street is a cul-de-sac and the house is on the circle.

    I’ll try to delete this as soon as it gets picked up, or if you’re on your way, send me an email and I’ll take the post down. It’s 2:32pm.

    This is my lucky day! A chest of droors with a couple droors missing and a generic fake ficus tree like everyone else in the world has! I’ve hit the suburban-classy decorating motherlode! (Well, okay, I’m still looking for that French Prudential chest of droors — that will be the pièce de résistance.)

    Sarah sent this one in saying, “I am shocked that someone could be so illiterate.” She obviously hasn’t spent a lot of time on this blog yet, so let’s help her feel better — at least it wasn’t chester droors. Nobody could ever make that mistake, right?

    Oh. Never mind. That didn’t exactly make things better, did it?

    I’ll be over in the corner weeping at the demise of the English language if you need me.

  • YSaC, Vol. 316: If she WAS an alien, I’d adopt her, but …

    Rare long haired black chiwawa

    Jackie-o is her name she is going on 6 months old. she is very friendly loving and potty trained. Also knows how it sit. i have been working with her to fetch which she will when not distracted and also been teaching her cry when somthing is wrong. she is not spayed for i did not know if i wanted to do that to her. i was figureing i would give her the choice after her first period.

    (which she has not had yet)

    I am looking for a family home for her. she loves kids and is even great with babies. for she has been around my god daughter who was born three days after jackie. i am asking a rehoming fee for her to know that she will be loved for ever. I wish i could take her with me but i am moving almost three thousand miles away and my house is unfortanly not pet friendly. 🙁 if you have any questions feel free to email me. a recent photo is below how ever i took it with my cell so her eyes look bright,(she is not alien) And like i said before jackie-0 is a rare long haired loving black chi-wa-wa.

    LeAna sends this one in, saying, “First of all, black longhaired chihuahuas are not rare. Second — she was going to let the dog decide whether to be spayed? Oh, and don’t you worry, she’s not an alien, it’s just my crappy cell camera …”
    And … really? Chiwawa? I mean, I realize that chihuahua is sort of difficult to spell, but I think I’m going to have to invoke my “if you can’t spell it, you don’t deserve to own the breed” rule.

  • YSaC, Vol. 315: Measure once, cut twice.

    ketchin and specality cabenits

    Thanks for looking!!! I don’t have a specific cabinet for sale. But I have over 12 years experience in custom cabinets, and would like to talk to you about your cabinet needs. I can offer exultant quality at a very affordable price. No mater how large or small a project you have in mind. Email me for a free estaminet Thank you Joey

    Anyone need a exultant specality cabenit for their ketchin? This guy would like to talk to you about your cabinet needs and provide an estaminet.

    Based on this ad, I think he’ll get the size of the cabinet right three out of four times. The other times, he’ll swap the length and the width measurements.

  • YSaC, Vol. 314: Her name is Rio, and she needs to have huge cans …

    Cover Band Seeks Hot Female Keyboardist w/ Giant Cans!!

    Yup…you read correctly. We are a killer 80’s cover band and if you think you fit…that would be sweet!

    So, maybe I’m crazy, but given that a lot of music from the 80s was primarily synth-based, wouldn’t you be more concerned with whether your keyboard player was competent instead of hot and stacked?

    I mean, the talentless girlfriend has her place in the band, but it’s usually playing tambourine and singing tuneless background vocals into a dead microphone.

    Thanks to Lisa for sending this in!

  • YSaC, Vol. 313: Then again, Fergie is probably a spawn of Satan as well.

    FREE FEMALE BLACK LAB

    WE HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD FEMALE BLACK LAB “FERGIE” THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO FIND A GREAT HOME. WE GOT HER BECAUSE FRIENDS HOUSE BURNT DOWN AND SHE WAS DISPLACED AND THEY NEEDED TO GET HER A HOME. SHE IS SUPER SWEET AND HATE TO GET RID OF HER BUT SHE HAS STARTED KILLING OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS OUR CHICKENS. WE HATE TO KEEP HER IN A PEN ALL THE TIME. SHE WEIGHS ABOUT 80 POUNDS AND LOVES TO SIT IN YOUR LAP, SHE IS GREAT WITH CHILDREN. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HER PLEASE CALL STEPHANIE AT 843-xxx-xxxx.

    This dog sounds a bit problematic. First she burnt down your friend’s house (I’m conjecturing there, but it seems like a reasonable conclusion to me), and now she’s killing your neighbors and your chickens? And yet, you say she’s good with children? (As long as the children don’t taste like chicken, I’m assuming.)

    I think I’d have to rename this dog Cerberus.

    Thanks for sending this in, Katie!

    This Is A Dinning Room Buffet – $350

    This Is A Beautiful Dinning Hutch….It Has Been In The Family 4 Along Time!!! But It Is Just “BIG” 2 Take With Us Or We Would!!!
    I Know If U Seen It U Would Fall In LOVE With It….It Is Just That “NICE”!!!! So If U Would Like 2 Take A Look, Just Give Me A Call.

    river.girl sends in this listing, saying,

    “I know you’ve discussed dinning room furniture on YSaC before, but I can’t recall if you actually determined what a dinning room is. So I was very excited to see this listing that would show me, if not what a dinning room was, at least what a dinning room buffet might look like. With odd capitalization. And texting abbreviations. And quotes around the word “nice” when describing the buffet. Or maybe its a dinning hutch?”

    Dinning table is actually one of the most popular search engine terms that results in people finding this site. I keep hoping that people who end up here after searching for that will learn something in the process, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
