YSaC, Vol. 1626: A Jagged Gorgeous Sparky
2013 November 13
::: GORGEOUS ::: GORGEOUS ::: GORGEOUS ::: ………..
Beautiful & in mint condition ……… Asking ….. $70/obo
Every word in this ad is spelled correctly. And there’s no shortage of punctuation. (quite the opposite, actually) I really can’t think of a thing wrong with this. I’m not even sure why I’m posting it. There is absolutely no way this ad could be improved in any way.
Oh well. Thanks anyway, sd!
Wait.
Shouldn’t we mention what we’re actually selling here, Sparky?
Naah.
Who cares what’s being sold when it’s so damn beautiful that it can’t be described outside of a single adjective?
Well, context is everything. This ad scans differently if it is Rants & Raves versus, say, For Trade, or even Jobs.
There are no other words in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of man fit to describe its wonder.
……*****…..@@@@@!!!!!!!(:::::::::) & ¥¥¥¥ + % —- ++++ {wtf!!} ~~~$~~~
Well said M2N2…….well said!!!!!
Has Craigslist become so hipster that it no longer accepts bad English, no punctuation, and mismatched photos? Too bad the list doesn’t scan for content. Or we’d really be grasping at something or other.
The last GORGEOUS ::: I bought cost me £125 and now Sparky is offering three for $70/obo I feel cheated.
George is for sale?
George’s gorges are for sale. George’s gorges are gorgeous. George should open a store: George’s Gorgeous Gorges Galore!
You know, there is a gorge in George, Washington. The state, not the dead president. It is used as an amphitheatre for concerts. As any Washingtoninian can tell you.
This ad makes perfect sense to me. Sparky is selling gorgeous punctuation, beautiful and in mint condition. Personally, I prefer my punctuation to show restrained elegance and to be new in box with papers, but whatever works for you.
That’s okay, I’ll take mine proper, if you don’t mind.
mmmm….mint.
Silly me, I’ve got a whole box of extra punctuation just sitting around gathering dust. I could be making tens of dollars!
He can keep his colons. I prefer my parentheses.

Sold to…
We few, we sapient few,
May have made an error here.
In assuming that correctly spelt
Connotates correctly meant.
For, such is not the sparkii lot
By nor Large.
Try as I might, I cannot brain
Just what $70/3 with partially labiated
Leading consonant might obtain.
Like the besieged rodents in Harfleur
Doth my thoughts and speculations turn
Like a scrabble set in a hurricane.
(Truth be told, I’m presently torn between this being an ad for “juggaloes”; or junipers; or for the Three Gorges dam.)
This add makes perfect sense when posted under the catagory
W4M
…just sayin’
Sadly, it was in “household.”
Which makes today’s earworm “I will buy you a new life” by Everclear. Awesome.
Sparky needs to brush up on his Morse Code. It may be Gorgeous, but it makes no sense.
ratty and kelli, in honor of the current post, here’s your GORGEOUS Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Place Noun Here.
Good morning, :::::::::::.
