You Suck at Craigslist

YSaC, Vol. 1778: For sooth

let an angel sing to you

let me express my dedication to my two home countries.
call me and i will sing either the American national anthem or Canadian national anthem to you.
i love my countries and would like to let you hear the voice of an angel sooth you on this beautiful labor day.

Oh hey – a national anthem post. I should totally use this for volume 1776.

Oh crap.

True fact – drmk and I go to a lot of amateur sporting events. At these events, amateur persons often sing the American and/or Canadian national anthems. 99 times out of 100 they are not even a LITTLE bit soothing. In fact, our friends have determined that far more entertaining than the actual performer is watching us twitch at each random modulation and botched intonation.

So I think, Sparky, you will NOT be hearing from us on the dial-an-anthem line any time soon. Unless you want to perform the honors for Johncageistan.

Thanks for the post, Greg!

    No one on earth could sound so bad.
    I hear and know that I’ve been had.
    There must be a devil
    Posting Craigslist ads.
    I read the ad and make the call.
    I hear, but I’m not soothed at all.
    It’s a hellish choir of devils,
    And they’re posting Craigslist ads.

          But it may have to be ratified at the bi-weekly meeting.

      Oh say can you seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
      That this thong is not mine.
      For my man parts is tight.
      and I’m constantly screaming.
      and the pocket down there
      is too small for my pair
      They’re schmooshed so they fight
      just to get some more air.

      I apologize to everyone. I should not have gone so far with the TMI.

      Also, C”You shouldn’t be behind me right now”J, I borrowed your “seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” in that first line.

      …and now the Capn knows why there is an angle down there.

      I don’t know that one Capn, but if you hum in a few bars, I might join you in one.

        *more voice clearing noises*
        An angel went down to Georgia, he was looking for a voice to steal.
        He was in a bind, he was way behind, on a major recording deal.

        I forgot the rest.

      I think Sparky’s state just voted to approve the recreational use of marinara.

      Oh, say Canada
      By the dawn’s glowing hearts,
      Whose true patriot bombs
      Burst in all thy sons’ ramparts…

    Oh, say can you hear! When that number you dial,
    What so proudly the ad calls the voice of an angel
    With botched notes and flubbed words! through the perilous highs,
    O’er the land line we groaned but could not end the concert.

    OK Sparky, I want to hear the Star Spangled Banner sung from memory and on key — all four verses. And Oh Canada in Franglais. That should be a requirement for Congress and Parliament as well.

    Music hath alarms to sooth a savage request.

      Speaking of hair, in the town where I live, there is a Brazilian Tai Kwon Do Dojo.

        Speaking of hair:
        A man came up to me and said, “One, your hair is getting thin.” I said, “Well, who wants fat hair?”

        My bad. It wasn’t Brazilian Tai Kwon Do, it was Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

    Justin, is that you? How many times do we have to tell you – we don’t want you back, don’t even mention that you came from up here and forget the words to the Oh, Canada.
