YSaC, Vol. 230: Let my Cameron goooooo ….

need to barrow a ferrari for date


dont have too much to barter. i can fix things around your house or make a kick ass meatloaf. just need the ferrai for one night. promise i will try not to get oral sex in it.

thanks

Heather sends this in, saying, “They post it in “barter,” yet they admit they have nothing to barter. Oh, and how exactly does one “barrow” a Ferrari? It seems that “barrowing” carries a high chance of oral sex. Hm…”

The wording of the “promise” is amusing, also. Notice that it’s not, “Promise I will not try to get oral sex in it,” it’s “promise I will try NOT to get oral sex in it.”

In other words, there’s going to be so many people offering him oral sex that he will have to try really hard to avoid them all.

This just has “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” written all over it. (Minus Cameron, which is too bad. Cameron is the heart of that movie. Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s about Ferris, but Cameron is the only one who grows as a person and learns anything about himself over the course of the day. Plus it’s Alan Ruck, and he’s just cool.)

Anyway, for those of you with Ferraris, this young man with nothing to offer you but breaded meat would like to barrow your car, probably take it for a joyride, and try not to get oral sex in it. What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

    Actually, I think the *cost* for “barrowing” a Ferrari when you have nothing to barter is…..
    Ok, ok, I’ll keep it clean. Seriously, a few months ago I asked in the wanted section if anyone had an extra Dryel bag lying around and got zero replies. You know someone who read that did and just didn’t feel like replying. Who on Earth, if the world is not kind enough to recycle a Dryel bag, would say “Here ya go buddy, try not to grind the gears! Have a great time and I’ll see you in the morning – wait, what was your name again?”

    Does he actually have a date? Or is he going to get one when he “barrows” the car?

    And ” i will try not to get oral sex in it” sounds so filthy already, as if he’s going to try not to get spooge all over it. Remember to bring the Clorox wipes!

    “Hey like my ferrari? I traded it for meatloaf” And..you know what…that might work better than the jobless guy…although ….might even be the same person I don’t know.

    Isn’t getting oral sex the whole point of driving a Ferrari?

    Personally I got stuck on “or make a kick ass meatloaf”. The absence of a hyphen allows my imagination to do all sorts of scary things. Such as inserting one myself… “or make a kick ass-meat loaf”. A loaf of ass-meat that he kicked around. Nice.

      Burro is largely (if never by first-hand account) held to be tough and stringy meat. So, kicking it could be a form of tenderizing.

      Mules are known for their kicking ability, hence the old saying.

      But, what if Sparkie is in fact female, and is therefore advertizing that she has the correct equipment for producing a now-knighted rock star?

    “Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s about Ferris, but Cameron is the only one who grows as a person and learns anything about himself over the course of the day.”

    In fact, the movie IS about Cameron; Ferris is just the distracting focus. He’s almost the antagonist that brings out the best in Cameron, although the presence of Principal Rooney complicates things.

    If you have a barrow, you don’t really need a Ferrari to get around. Sure, a barrow might not be as sexy as a Ferrari, but it sure is practical.

    So he’s been trying to pick up chicks by bragging about his kickass car (which they can’t see, because it’s too kickass to drive every day), and now that some fool has taken him up on his promise of a ride in his hidden Ferrari, he needs to… borrow a complete stranger’s Ferrari so that he doesn’t look like a tool.

    Except I think it’s a bit late for that last bit.

        Yes, back when their batting average pretty much echoed their BAC at gametime.

      I like the time travel. It’s like the Llamanun and Ostrimu (*BBUT) took a look at all the scifi fans amongst their own fan base and gave us a Tardis for Beesmas. It does seem to be about as reliable as floo powder, though; a lot of commentators seem to have ended up lost in a YSAC alley somewhere.

          Read it again!

          Seriously, I have to stop myself from reading through the series more than once a year. After seeing the latest movie, I immediately picked up the book to see what had been left out, intending to only read to the point where the movie stopped. I’m sure you can guess how well that went. Then I went and read the 1st one, because I didn’t have anything new around to read. I’ve since gone to the library, but CoS is calling me. I feel that I should resist, though, because I just read through the whole series in June. Again, it was because I was overdue to go to the library for new books.

          I WAS going back to the HP books frequently but I now have a leeeetle too much new & “new” stuff on the Kindle and it’s keeping me distracted. BTW, Dr. Frankenstien was a complete tool… and chickenshit to boot. 20,000 Leagues under the Seas was better but the catalogues of marine life did get tiresome before the end. Now, I am mixing it up with a little Kim Harrison. The Dresden Files are too damned expensive on the Kindle – I refuse to buy them.

    The wording of the promise is really too weird. Like this guy is confident that whether or not he gets oral sex will be *his* choice.

    Interesting thought though, I wonder how many doors will break the counter? We would need to find a classic that already has a high number of doors and a lot of volunteers with the same capabilities.

          DOORS by Tristram J. Garong

          To close and open at your will,
          I shut to keep your secrets still
          Come and know me, I implore,
          I, sir, am your humble door.

          Through day and night I stand on guard
          against all those with evil hearts.
          To you I bring security,
          that in the night, you might sleep tightly.

          A warning master, hear me out,
          that when you leave or wal about,
          never forget to lock me,
          and always keep my heart, the key.
          This way I can do my best,
          against all dreaded threats and tests.
          for carelessness is like a leech.
          Do this master, I beseech.

          You may not see it well, master,
          but I am a thing of wonder.
          I may just be a humble door,
          yet I serve with great ardor.
          Master look around and see,
          on how grateful you should be
          and imagine all the horrors,
          of a world without doors
