YSaC, Vol. 1769: Federal Burrow of Investigation

Free burrow pick up only

Free burrow all wood it’s in good condition nothing is broken as far as drawers or anything just needs cosmetic work just sanding, painted and new drawer handles. First person to respond gets it only serious people please respond.

Hello. I am a very serious person. I would like to pick up your all wood burrow. However, I am confused. A “burrow” is a hole, is it not? It is difficult to pick up an absence of thing. For that matter, how do you know the hole is an absence of wood? It could be an absence of molybdenum, or cheddar cheese. This is important to me, because I am a serious person.

Of course, you could have just misspelled “burro.” Are you selling a donkey? Because I don’t think I want to try sanding a donkey. That would be insufficiently serious.

Thank you for this serious post, Christine!

    I see I will need to burrow my burro into the bureau and inform the appropriate bureaus. Good morning, homonyms!

    It’s a Trap!
    A real Ishian burro would have draws, not illustrators.

    I might have fallen for that Greek horse.

    Or that Welsh rarebit.

    But Not Again!

    I can’t believe the Weasleys didn’t keep this. Did it get infested with gnomes again?

    And as a historical landmark I expect there is all kinds of paperwork required from the Ministry of Magic. Does Chester still work there?

    i need to confirm that your definition of ‘cosmetic work’ doesn’t overlap with mine of ‘needs complete rebuild’. Please post picture. Also, is made of sapient pear wood? It’s the pickup only aspect I’m worried about, most of the rest of my furniture is static. Sounds a bit like The Luggage to me. Have you ever seen it with feet? Many feet? Moving? Just asking ….

    I’d get this, but I believe it’d clash with my frainch prudential chester draws.

    Serious or not, NASA keeps getting its Mars Rovers stuck. They forgot the old advice: Neither a lander nor a burrower be.

    And even if they bring it back, the price of the replacement drawer handles is out of this world.

    Is it big enough to set my record player on? Because I really like listening to burrowq music.

    (Okay I think we’re now officially scraping the bottom of the barrel for “burrow” jokes.)

    I can’t keep it, but I might borrow the burrow with a burro from the borough bureau for a burrowq bachanalia.

    Brother, can you paradigm?

    If you can pick up a burrow that means it’s portable. I really, really want a portable hole.

      I have a portable hole. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

    If Sparky means burro maybe we should hook him up with the budding Norman Bates from Monday. I’m sure all the pups out there would be grateful if he tried a different species.
    Okay, I’m still suffering some PTSD from that post, I’m going back under the bed now.

    Free! Burrow all wood!

    All the termites in the house just perked up. But they want to know what percentage of the pickup is actually wood. Sounds like a trap to drive them out of town.

    Okay…… so I’ve been schooled by the Llamanun to grudgingly accept that “needs painted” is considered acceptable usage in some parts of the US, but when you throw “sanding” into the same sentence, you’re just taunting my inner grammar Nazi.

    You can’t have it both ways, Sparky!

      Interestingly*, “needs painted” would also be perfectly acceptable in Scotland.

      *Interest not guaranteed.

    I used to have a pick up only just like you, then I took a burrow to the knee.

    It’s obviously a pick-up you can drive into the ground. Rust abounds. That is why it needs cosmetic help. But who needs drawer handles when you don’t wear drawers?

    *blink, blink*

    No, seriously. Who?

    Free ass it’s in good condition nothing is broken as far as drawers or anything just needs cosmetic work and new love handles. First person to respond gets it.

    Just a few minor tweaks and it’s a personals ad. I’m thankful my ass has never broken my drawers. My work here is done.

    Is the burrow sold ‘ass-is’?

      Honest Injun….another teacher just sent out an email asking if someone had an Iphone 4 charger that he could burrow.
