YSaC, Vol. 1668: He’s training to jump the channel

2014 February 21

strong people needed


seeking strong person to carry athlete up 3 flights of stairs for the next 2 weeks. will need to meet me at apartment once a day to carry me up stairs to keep me from exhaustion while training. small compensation will be given. but you will feel really good about yourself.

Presumably this is some new definition of “athlete,” with which I was previously unacquainted. While I’m sure dragging Sparky here up and down the stairs is probably pretty good exercise, I SERIOUSLY doubt enabling them will make me feel good about myself.

Thanks for sending this, Buff!

    This seems oddly specific. I am not even sure what to think. Maybe more coffee will help my brain.

      STRONG PEOPLE NEEDED
      _____________________________

      I’m in training for the Boston Marathon, and I need some strong people to push me around town in a wheelbarrow so I can become familiar with the route and to keep me from exhaustion while training. It may be small compensation, but you WILL feel really good about yourself. (trust me, you will)

          I think he already did his time for pushing, and has reformed. Or did I dream it?

          you know, Windy, that definition of “pushing” never occurred to me until you mentioned it…
          Maybe I need to quit hangin’ with this rough crowd.

    I think I went to school with one of Sparky’s relatives, a gifted science student who routinely wanted me to help him with his physics homework.

    Let me guess… This is actually Justin Bieber, and this is a repeat of his Great Wall of China incident.

    (P.S. I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed that I know anything about Justin Bieber.)

      TC, as your previous letter-C counterpart, I am sympathetic to your pain.

      Have some coffee slices, they’ll make you feel better.

        Daleks are just cheaters, man. Just once, I’d like to find a way to stop the thing from following me that won’t make me look like an idiot when it doesn’t work!

    But Sparky! You already have a pair of strong helpers to carry you up the stairs!

    They’re called YOUR LEGS.

      A great way to train, build muscle, and lose weight is… to run up stairs. If sparkster is so worried about becoming exhausted, maybe he should cut down his time at the gym (or time running, or whatever it is he does) and use that energy to get home.

      Adores: 6
      • 2014 February 21

        I mean, clearly, he lives a few floors up, so it’d be good for him to get a headstart now.

    Ooh, I know! We need to get a giant slingshot for the asked strong helpers to fire Sparky up the stairs with!

    What? Collateral damage? Pfft! You act like he’s gonna bash his skull through the ceiling!

      The aye’s have it, we’re building a trebuchet.

      Now, I need a pair of strong helpers to help me carry the materials to the build site so that I won’t get so exhausted in the process.

    Also needed: brow mopper, shoe tier, sweat band adjuster, and wedgie picker. And if you could give me a lift to the gym as well, that would be great.
