R U UNDER 30 AND HAVE A REAR DISEASE?
Im the Host of the popular internet podcast “[Title]” Im currently starting my 2cnd season and am looking to educated and make our generation aware of diseases they may not know of. Please contact me if your interested. Lets help educate the youth.
Wow, a whole podcast devoted to rear diseases! Please, educated me!
Thanks, Diana!
[Edit by drmk: Okay, folks: We reached 500 comments yesterday. (Side note: holy cow!) Here’s today’s comment-related mission: If you’re a regular reader, but don’t normally comment, please comment — even if it’s just to say hi!
And if you decide you’d like to have a swanky avatar to go along with your comment, head over to Gravatar and set up an image to use with the email address you’re going to use to comment with!]
Could I start by educating the poster? Something that does not happen often is rare, rear refers normally to the back of something. Rare can also refer to the doneness of meat. It is rare that someone is born without a rear. It is not rare that someone likes his meat rare.
Sorry about slipping into tutor mode, but homophone confusion annoys me.
I think someone is angling for Corey Creds!
If I get enough Corey Creds, can I turn them in for a prize?
Yes, but I warn you, the giant stuffed Purple Tweety Bird is over 9000 credits. Might want to start small, like those Chinese fingercuffs or the sticky spider.
OVER 9000 FTW
Tutor mode is fine. So is Tudor mode, as long as you don’t try to get the rest of us to wear those lace neck ruffs along with you.
I prefer Turtle mode,but maybe I need to get out of my shell.
Oh Lola, I’d so be wearing the ruffed neck and big meringue – my only geekiness is English-Royalty-geekiness.
Is sarajean’s shell….minty?
One half is minty, the other half is butter pecan.
There’s also of course the rare “Tooter” mode, but I’d avoid the rear there…
Although, that pruning the heads of exes gets a tad messy; as does the squabbling over horses and kingdoms and horseshoes, when in Tudor mode.
Although, the redheads do ok in the end.
Wait, where in the English-speaking world do people pronounce “rare” and “rear” the same way? They sound clearly different to me the way I pronounce them.
jackie,
Lots of places. I’m Indian, and with all the heavy regional accents we have, English words often are nowhere near recognizable. And the pronunciations get adapted to whatever the normal cadences of the accent are, so it almost never has anything to do with the spelling.
…except “rear” and “rare” aren’t even homophones, unless he thinks that “rear” rhymes with “bear,” or “pear,” or “wear,” or “swear…”
Or doesn’t know those words, or the rhyming conventions of English, or disregards them and just takes a wild stab at what he thinks it might sound like. And then an entire generation learns it that way, and the next, and the next. I’m not making this up, I swear. Tamil, Malayali, Hindi, Bengali and Kannada sound radically different than any of the Romance languages and you have people with those backgrounds speaking English, the results are rarely, if ever, even intuitive mispronunciations. I know it sounds like I’m being pedantic (/corey) but it’s unfair to bag on people who mispronounce English in certain parts of the world that are, yes, still ‘English-speaking,’ but not primarily English-speaking.
Anyone with young children who read understands this phenomenon. 🙂
I live near a gourmet deli that has a predominantly if not entirely ESL staff and ownership. The spelling on the signs and packaging, while you can tell they are making an effort, is often amusingly incorrect (I can’t get snarky, as I know they likely don’t know better; besides, it makes me giggle most of the time). Between the original speaker’s accent and the local accent here and varying levels of education and/or literacy, they produce some highly creative spelling.
If you eat your meat too rare, you could get a disease.
One that affects your rear.
In response to drmk’s title, poker? I hardly know ‘er!
That’s what she said!
Yes it is.
Woo-hoo! My new catchphrase is being put to good use! Now…if only I could get royalties…
I used to work near Bangor, PA and I would ask one of my coworkers who did live in Bangor where he lived just so he could say,” Bangor? But I don’t even know her! Not that it would stop me.”
Sometimes, you have to pitch the grapefruits…
Same with Bangor, Maine. I was living there when I met my (now) husband online. Sadly, that supplied him with the joke “I went to Bangor, and I did!”
Oh, honey, I feel your pain. I work at Bangor Sub-base in Washington. If I hear another ‘taking her to Bangor’ joke, everyone on the bus will die.
But Victoria, Bangor Maine is pronounced “Ban-gor”, not “banger”. Accent on the second syllable.
Deer Host, I haf a rear disease. I gets it frum the terlet seats at da bus terminal. Kin u hep me?
eye can sertanlie halp ju. Jus take a picutire of ur rear an cend it too me. eyell diagnos teh disease and putted it in da showe.
Ps. if yuj hava nice rear i put it on da shoew anywai =)))!!
Deer Peeples:
I alsos haf a reer diseses. kan u put me on der shows to. i gots mine frm bein outside and hafin to wait to use da toilets at the bus place. i goes to teh doc fer mine and he say’s i has to take pills fer this. are it still gud fer me to send pic fer teh shoew?
other peepls has told me the interwebs is no thing butt scamers, but i knows you wud not lie cause you are on thes sites.
thanks you
“…butt scamers…”
That gave me the giggles.
me too sj 🙂
And it’s so appropriate to today’s post…
B–butt scamers?
*spews water all over the keyboard*
I almost kind of like “2cnd” as an abbreviation for “second.” Why not do it that way, really? Except that it’s harder to type.
1rst
2cnd
3hrd
4rth
5fth
6xth…
Hmm. My brain is processing these as if pronounced firstrst, secondcnd, etc.
ECHO! Echo! echo!
I was reading it as two-cnd.
Hi Miss Nomer! Hope I didn’t get your name wrong. Welcome!
Hmmm … “two-canned” *does* sound like a rear disease …
Hi Kireina, welcome to the Comfy Comments section of YSaC!
‘Firstrst’ or ‘1rst’- which of these is going to become the new chant of those who get to forums early enough to get top post?
Don’t forget 3ve.
Yeah…I can’t read 3hrd as third. My mine won’t let me see anything other than 3 hard.
Of course, there actually IS a use for 8va, if you are a musician.
Dear Educated Sir,
I know someone who got a disease from doing something in the rear seat of the car. Does that count, or do they have to have the disease actually in their rear? Please advise.
As an aside, since he’s (I don’t know why I assume this poster is male, as we’ve certainly had enough demonstration of female stupidity on CL; any way …) describing himself as the Host and is talking about diseases, I can’t help thinking that he may have a rear disease as well. And that after it is finished incubating, it will … exit … probably graphically … and then wreak havoc of the sort that usually requires Mulder, Scully, and a stand-alone “X-Files” episode.
As long as the Smoking Man is involved, I’ll get my camera….
Patient 0reo?
Oh, Isaac. You DO know what happens to members of our little community who start to actually *like* the ads, don’t you?
(Oops, Imagine this up there ^^^, under Isaac’s post.)
It used to be that 2 CND was worth about 1.5 USD, but with the bozos we’ve had in Washington for the last 50 years or so the roles have reversed.
Those were the days. I always got my exchange rates based off of the prices on the comic book covers.
I don’t have a rear disease per se, but I did eat a lot of extremely spicy Thai food last night that isn’t agreeing with me so well. If you catch my drift.
*sniff, sniff* Yeah, catching quite a lot of drift there, buddy!
*Ba-dum Ching*
Is he kin to Bo-Dai Ching from Pusan?
I would offer to light a scented candle but I don’t want to blow everyone up.
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire…
We don’t need no water…
tacomagic: I don’t have a rear disease per se….
You’re one space away from making an inadvertent pun in Finnish: “perse” means “ass”.
Wow, I’m wittier in Finland than I thought I was. 🙂
Tacomagic: Big in Finland!
+100 for the Alphaville reference.
<corey>The language spoken in Finland is Suomi. Well, actually most of them speak Swedish as well. But calling it “Finnish” makes perfect sense to me because it means “the language spoken by people in Finland.” </corey>
Incidentally, people in Finland love saunas–often building a sauna before building an actual house. Saunas, of course, are breeding grounds for rear diseases.
Big opportunities for talcum powder sales in Finland, I hear.
In Soviet Russia, big opportunity sells Finland.
More often, in Soviet Russia, big opportunity invades Finland.
[corey]Suomi may be called Suomi and not Finnish, but it is part of the Finno-Ugric family of languages, which includes Hungarian (spoken originally by Magyars) and languages from the Ural Mountains as well as Suomi.[/corey]
[corey]Interestingly, the languages on the Finno-Ugric family are amongst the rare European languages (Basque is the only other example that comes to mind) that don’t come from the Indoeuropean tree.[/corey]
Nah, saunas are one of the few places in the house that can be relied on to be (more or less) sterile, since they regularly get heated to close to the boiling point of water and blasted with steam. And just to be extra safe from rear diseases, people usually sit on what my family refers to as ass rags.
Also, Finland came damn close to becoming Soviet Finland.
Ed — trust me on this one, you do NOT want to get into a [corey] battle with jackie31337 about the language spoken in Finland. I met her this past summer while I was in Finland. ‘Nuff said.
Oh, except for the part about how awesome she is, and what a good time we had. NOW there’s ’nuff said.
I wasn’t really arguing. Didn’t know she was from Finland. That’s totally awesome. I’ve been there a couple times when I used to work for Konecranes and it was a great experience.
Ed: I’m not technically *from* Finland, but I have lived here for the past 12 years. I like it here a lot, even when we’re having a winter like the one we got this year.
drmk I met her this past summer while I was in Finland.
I wish I would have gotten the chance to meet you, but I think we literally crossed paths in the air with you arriving in Finland on the same day I left on my vacation. If you met someone claiming to be me, it was an impostor. Sounds like whoever it was is a blast, though.
Oh, crap, that’s right! My bad. I mixed up memories in my head. We had emailed so much about meeting, jackie, that I though we actually HAD!
We actually met Alex, who is another YSaC fan currently living in Helsinki — and you wouldn’t want to argue about language with her, either.
D’oh! My memories get all mushed up sometimes. Sorry!
I am immediately reminded of those short commercials they run during a certain kind of daytime programming.
You know the ones;
“Are you a promiscuous woman who is unsure who your child’s father is and need to give the entire football team paternity tests?”
“Is a loved one deeply disturbed or possibly mentally ill and you would like them to find out on national television?”
“Are you a man who no longer wants to pay child support and needs a paternity test for the courts?”
“Do you have a shocking and possibly criminal secret you wish to share with the entire world, potentially ruining all future relationships with people you profess to love dearly, rather than handling it quietly like normal people?”
“Are you married or have children with a close family member? Call the Maury show at ***-***-****”
(That last one is sadly real. Oh Maury, what happened? You used to be a real journalist.)
There’s not nearly as much money in real journalism.
But you’re not nearly as likely to be caught between a pair of jealous skanks in tube tops fighting over some worthless loser.
@sj: you say that like it’s a *good* thing.
The worthless loser part or getting caught between dueling skanks? ‘Cause the other day someone was watching Jerry Springer in the break room during lunch and there were these two “ladies” wrestling in an unnamed gelatin product. That could cause all manner of problems, the least of which would be how to explain the stains on your clothes. It’s not like you could say “I pulled apart two women fighting in an unnamed gelatin product.” because what man would want to admit to doing that?
Hey, don’t involve me and Graham in this!
I look horrible in a tube top, anyway.
I thought the pink sequined one was rather fetching on you, but you do need a new pair of jorts.
‘Real journalist’- this centuries’ oxymoron?
Don’t forget that the flavor of the month for daytime TV is to get the Cold Readers on the show to do “Psychic Readings”.
I throw up in my mouth a little bit each time I see these tools.
I loathe those leeches.
What surprises me is despite vast amounts of evidence to the contrary (including showing people exactly how it’s done), people still flock to those sorts of programs.
Never underestimate the combination of wishful thinking and mind crushing stupidity.
Simply paying attention to details of a person’s appearance can give anyone enough information to do a cold reading to me, you, etc. It’s not magic.
Harry Houdini did shows where he debunked psychic charlatans and people who went to them also wanted him to do those things “for real.” (He himself wanted to believe in life after death because he wanted to communicate with his mother or something; I don’t remember clearly. He started doing the shows because he was disgusted with all of the frauds he discovered whilst trying to locate a “real” medium or psychic.) Simply put, no matter how often or clearly you tell people that something isn’t real, if they want to believe it, they will.
I’ll angle for some Corey credits by adding something to the bit about Houdini and mediums. He publicly announced that he would give a reward (I don’t remember how much, but was a lot of money at the time) to anyone who could conclusively prove to be able to communicate with the dead. Seemingly, he always had hope to find a way to speak one last time with his late mother, but mostly he used the reward as bait to debunk frauds.
He even made his wife promise that she would keep on trying after he died, giving her a “password” to make sure if it was really him who was communicating with her from the afterlife.
After earning those Corey credits, I’m off to work (and on my way there I’ll be listening a song about Houdini, his wife and the mediums that Kate Bush did on her crazier phase).
Traveler,
Marry me. I’ve never met anyone else who knew that Houdini stuff. I got into reading him when I was about 10 and am still kind of interested. I was going to add in the bit about his wife but had to leave and feign work for a while.
Visit my inlaws in Appleton; the Houdini museum is there. It’s actually really cool.
I think they have an entire room dedicated to the years he spent debunking psychics.
I’ll start preparing the wedding, Lola.
I can’t say that I am an expert on Houdini. I think that I heard the bit about his wife and the password on an interview with Kate Bush about that song.
But I like escape artists in general. A few years ago, I saw Jim Steranko (who was a escape artist -and hailed by some as Houdini’s heir- before becoming a comic-book artist; both Jack Kirby’s Mr. Miracle and Michael Chabon’s The Escapist -from ” The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay”- are based on him) on my hometown. He was there because of an exhibition of his comic-book works, but during a conference he still did the trick of escaping from a pair of handcuffs while he was answering questions from the audience.
Speaking of comics and scape artists, did you read “King of Handcuffs”, a comic about Houdini by Jason Lutes and Nick Bertozzi? Not Lutes’ best, but quite entertaining anyway.
*makes note of GNs* Thanks, Traveler!
Speaking of comics and escape artists, let me put in a plug for a little doodle I drew a while back.
It’s got three of the escapists mentioned above.
Nice one, Isaac.
I got more of a sleazy prosecutor commercial vibe. You know, like
“Have you or someone you know recently suffered from a condition such as rear disease? If so, you may be entitled to thousands of dollars.”
[corey]Not prosecutor – litigator or pesonal injury lawyer. Prosecutors work for the state or federal government on criminal cases, and have no need to advertise for clients.[/corey]
I actually saw one of those commercials that asked the following question: “Have you suffered, or died from the effects of _____ (insert whatever here)? If so, you may be entitled…blah, blah..”
So, I’m thinking if I’ve died from somebody’s royal eff up, I sure as hell don’t have any use for money now do I?
Not ever lawyer gradu-ma-tated tops in their class.
(Am now pondering what TV channel one would advertise on to reach the greatest number of dead viewers.)
Probably the Hallmark channel.
After-Lifetime?
Why does CJ’s comment make me think of muffins?
Welcome to the Comfy Comment section, Lawninja!
Great, now I can’t drink *or* eat anything while reading YSaC.
*excuses herself to be ill elsewhere*
Geez, I guess some people really don’t like Thai food.
Food Racism IS on the rise.
Al Sharpton on line two for … uhm, anyone who doesn’t like any kind of foreign food.
Food racism: my gorge rises at it.
That said, I was prone to lactose intolerance in my earlier days. But I’ve taken a sensitivity seminar since then.
I used to think Peanuts were nuts, but unfortunately that was just me perpetuating a racial stereotype.
I realize now that they have always been legumes, and my ignorance was hurting those peanuts near me.
(particularly Linus and Rerun.)
My pinky Struck again. Someday I’ll teach It when I Actually need Capitalization.
…Damnit.
Isaac beat me to it. I still think Charlie Brown was the nuttiest Peanut. I’m convinced all the other characters were simply manifestations of his inner turmoil.
Does being a vegetarin make me a food racist? In my defense I do enjoy bacon as art.
*Passes christina a Bacon Martini* Here you go, on the house.
Yay, bacontinis for everyone!
Oooh “Bacontini”, I like the new name. It sounds sexier somehow.
Yup, that’s right. I’m sexy and here for the ladies. And don’t worry ladies, there’s plenty of me to go around.
Now I know for sure who Bacontini is.
That bacontini looks kinda rancid…
Alcoholic beverages and processed pork products – two forbidden items deliciously combined into the Bacontini.
It’s like liquid kryptonite.
I Googled Bacontini (and I’m serious here):
Here is how you make the Bacontini:
1. Lightly mist martini glass with vermouth, and rim the edge with a bacon grease.
2. In a cocktail shaker, mix 3oz bacon-infused vodka, one dash tobasco, and one dash olive juice.
3. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. 4. Skim excess bacon grease from surface of coctail.
For more bacon in your alcohol: Bacon Booze
Oh la la! Bacontini likes it when you talk sexy to him.
Got to love a cocktail recipe that instructs you to skim off the excess bacon grease.
Yeah, I’d totally strain mine through a coffee filter instead. Skimming just doesn’t work so well.
RANCID!!!
And yes, we all know who you are. Don’t try to fool us with your heart-clogging desirability.
That really does sounds thoroughly disgusting Taco.
A Bacontini, please. Skimmed, not stirred.
See? Even da men like Bacontini. Yes, Bacontini is here for you! Enjoy me.
Story of my life.
Disregard last.
Mmmmmm, Bacon Bloody Mary – yummy and saves washing those pesky breakfast plates.
side note: love that this is invented by a guy on house-arrest.
The Justice System IS making the world a better place!
I guess they can’t all be making wine in the toilet tank. Those house arrest folk are more classy than that.
Lareina, I’ll buy you one of those paper masks to keep things from flying everywhere. Of course, you’ll be covered in your own chewed food, but it’s a small price to pay to not look foolish.
Dude, if there were a device that could make me not look foolish, I would sell you my actual arm and leg for it.
And I would steal it from you, because it would be easy to outrun someone with one leg.
Clearly, you reckoned without my rocket-powered wheelchair of awesomeness. And the spare wooden leg with which I would beat FILTHY ROTTEN THIEVES.
Lareina, I predict that in your retirement you’ll be waving your cane at all the teenagers walking down the sidewalk telling them to get off your land.
Hell, taco, I do that now, and I’m 23. Not so much a cane as a tripod, usually, but still.
I use an airsoft gun, it makes more of an impression (actually a big bruise if you do it right) and I don’t have to get off the porch.
Sara, right now I have bruises on my face an back from an airsoft fight. I look like a meth addict. Next time I see some little kid in my yard, I’ma shoot him right in his tukhus.
It’s an airsoft fight now? I thought you “fell down the stairs.”
I…I tripped over the mop and hit my face on the doorknob, okay? When my husband came home drunk.
HHNF – My nephew got me in the arm with his sniper rifle and raised a welt that looks like someone put a cigarette out on my arm. I waited until later when I saw that he had to reload and then snuck up behind him and nailed him in the rump before running like hell for cover. I didn’t make it but it was so worth it.
When I hear “airsoft,” I can only think of these guys…

Bwahaha, Sarajean!
Graham, just because I unwittingly gave you access to my photobucket doesn’t mean you should post my personal pics like that.
Just wait until I release the pictures of your DA chassis Integra…
Please, don’t sic the Coreys on me! I’ll do anything! Just not the coreys!
Poster’s got a podcast,
It says on Craigslist,
He wants your disease,
If you get my gist
Cause he’s trolling for creds,
So show him your meds,
Poster’s got a podcast,
2cnd season’s coming up fast.
*He goes rear and front and rear and front…*
Who did that song?
Yes they did!
I’m hearing it to the tune of “Girlfriend in a Coma,” which, per Sarajean’s post, now sounds like a topic for Maury. (Maurissey?)
I’m afraid it’s to “Mama’s Got a Squeezebox.” Earworm successfully launched, Princess L. Your clever “Yes they did” riposte is all that’s saving you from my not-inconsiderable wrath.
There are a couple of words missing from the last two sentences, I think:
Please contact me if your interested [pet moray eel] lets [you] help [the purple carnivore Barney] educate the youth.
Did I get that right?
Wait, exactly why do u need to b under 30?? R the Uth of the world developing new rear diseases that the geezers don’t need 2 worry about?
I guess 30 is just that magical age when you stop having carnal relations because you start worrying about breaking a hip.
Yes, when you turn 30 they give you a booklet with everything you can’t do anymore.
*Flips through pages.*
Yep, here’s the section on breaking a hip during…”business time”.
*Reads.*
Dang it, apparently pages 14-283 of the Kama Sutra are now off-limits.
I better hurry up and complete my Kama Sutra then, not much time.
They’re regulations, not laws. Break them and you don’t get arrested, you just look foolish if caught. 😉
I’ve got one month to finish it up then.
Hmmmm, okay, only three pages left, so I think I can handle it.
If you haven’t done page 119, you might want to invest in a safety harness and see if you can find someone to act as a spotter during the dismount.
Traction is no fun.
and there goes my daily screen splattering. Thanks sarajean.
I’m surprised and honored you made it this far before splattering. You did see the Bacontini recipe, right?
the recipe hadn’t appeared when I read this.
After reading the recipe though I’m not really not in the mood for that bacon sammich I was planning for later.
I do recall Steve-O mentioning something about business time and looking foolish.
http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/?p=3907#comment-23841
Steve-O, I still want to hear the stories about emergency medical services that were needed during business time.
Steve-O: you could start a forum thread
*points to upper right of screen top*
“Bad Business” or something.
10-4. I’ll get it going in a bit.
My guess is that the “rear” diseases are only infectious to those under 30. Since we all know that people over 30 only get “front” diseases. Although I don’t want to know what constitutes as a “front” disease.
You see when daddy gets very lonely sometimes he has to pay a person to be the mommy for a day. And sometimes these temporary mommies have been doing that kind of work for a long time…
*Picturing the infamous “birds and the bees” talk at tm’s house*
shudder
I am really hoping you haven’t prepared a PowerPoint presentation to go along with this.
You’ve obviously met a few people like me. And no, I haven’t prepared a PowerPoint for this. I decided to go with a flow chart.
Woo, just pulled a meredith.
Smooth one.
*shakes glass*
Can I get a refill, extra crispy with vodka this time?
*Pours Sarajean another and garnishes with crispy bacon*
You know, you’ve been coming into my bar for a while now and you always order the same thing. *Cleans a glass absently with a cloth* Did you ever consider trying something else? Maybe the Bourbon and Brisket? Or the Hamburger Hot Toddy?
I think I’ll have a Lamb with Mint-jelly Julep next.
I can’t recommend the Slim Jim Beam.
What about the Monterey Jack Daniels? Have you ever tried that one?
Shrimp scampitini?
Oh wait! I know, I know:
Lobster cocktail.
*crickets*
What do you mean, someone already invented that?
Is sarajean’s mint jelly….nevermind.
Might I suggest the Barbeque Beefeaters with a side of Irish Creamed Potatoes?
*OT: I am having a bit of trouble keeping up today so I’m not sure if a goal has been set yet… but I’m thinking that breaking 1000 is not unattainable today.
Pull up a chair and stay awhile, Tasha!
Emesis Wait, exactly why do u need to b under 30?? R the Uth of the world developing new rear diseases that the geezers don’t need 2 worry about?
Haven’t you heard? There’s this new rear disease, and all the Uth in Asia have it.
Oh, damn. I’m pretty sure I’m about 1/8th Uth. May be time to schedule a checkup…
Especially as you are, I believe, in Asia.
No, it’s not that over 30’s don’t get the diseases, it’s just that no one under 30 would ever want to hear the opinion of a geezer over 30. (At least that’s my guess as to the “logic”.)
Oh, and “Hi!”. Have read the entire blog, never commented before.
P.S. This is the only place I know where the comments are funnier than the actual post!
welcome Savannah, glad you’ve decided to join in with the lunacy.
Savannah, we are pleased to have you here!
“P.S. This is the only place I know where the comments are funnier than the actual post!”
Hey, wait a minute … ! 😉
But we couldn’t do it without you drmk – you provide the source and help the community assemble.
Without you, none of us would be here. Thank you.
xx
Your parts are funny. It’s just that the stupid in the ads makes my head hurt!
Windrose, have you been responding to all the people who have been commenting because drmk asked them to? ‘Cause if so, you’re awesome!
Windrose is awesome.
I was just kidding.
But yes, Windrose is awesome.
*wiping tears of joy* Aw, shucks, folks! Just doing my doodie. D’Oh!
Windrose is awesome because she makes the comments section a welcoming place. If it were all only snark, puns, and inside jokes, it’d be awfully difficult to delurk. But in fact we’ve all got our different roles here in the comment community (or commentity?), from greeter to sniper to raving loon, and it turns out to be a well-balanced sauce of hilarity.
And of course the chef or stage manager (I’ve lost track of my metaphor), the best host, our dear llamanun, makes that mix possible in the first place. Drmk sets the tone, and can say a thousand words with one affirmative snort.
Here’s to Windrose! Here’s to drmk! Here’s to YSaC!
Hip hip
Hooray!
Hip hip
“we’ve all got our different roles here in the comment community (or commentity?), from greeter to sniper to raving loon”
I’d love to know who you think fits each of these roles. I think the ‘raving loon’ one may be hotly contested some days.
Oh, I knew you were kidding (that’s what smilies are for 🙂 ).
I finally figured out why people call you the llama; for some reason that halter always looked like trim on a robe to me. I kept seeing some sort of weird sith warrior in a facemask and hooded robe. Boy do I feel stupid! (But not stupid enough not to admit it, obviously.)
Dear Host-
I thought it a bit cheeky of you to assume that those of us over 30 with rear diseases can not be of benefit to those under 30. Many of us have had these since we were much younger. My good friend Heinie Keister was diagnosed in his late teens and would be perfect for giving younger viewers a posterior view of his life. I think it very presumptuous of you to derriere put us “older” folks in the rear seat when it comes to offering advice and information. We have years of stories of being the butt of jokes, being told to take a seat at the rear end of rooms because no one wanted to be near us whilst enjoying their mid-morning coffee and buns. We have experienced the backside to living like this. Don’t be a bum, set down your can of soda and get to know us. I am positive that, on the tail end of the conversation, you will be glad you did.
Sincerely,
Fanny Tush
I hereby grant the title of Assistant Cheif Innuendo Officer (ACIO) to the Penguin.
This elevates him from his old position of Assistant Snark Servicer (ASS).
Thank you for the promotion but I am a she or at least that is what I told my husband.
(I think I am up to three chocolate bars now. Where is that fairy?)
Uh.. I was using “him” in the most effeminate way possible?
Damn. Who here can perform an emergency pedal extraction from an oral cavity?
Heck Tacomagic, we’ve all been there. I say make lemonade out of lemons (and add vodka while you’re at it). Look how well Bianchi wears his Goddess label.
An oral cavity search? this sounds like more fun than should be allowed.

I used to go to Dr. Butz, but he is such a tighta…and I don’t think I’ll finish that thought.
*Looks around furtively* Uhhh….
HEMORRHOIDS!
*Runs*
There are few things worse than hemofrhoids and runs at the same time.
Oops, that was either a typo or a hemo-freudian slip.
my dad always used to ask people if they had hemorrhoids and when they said no he would say “oh great, another perfect as*hole”
Hi.
Not right now, but maybe later.
And possibly as an explanation for late-night meme vomit.
I am still hungover from last night’s episode. I blame Graham and HHNF, they are both bad influences on me.
Your mother and I are worried about you Steve. Some of those kids you have been hanging out with are nothing but trouble. Why don’t you go play with Phillip from the math club? He seems a nice boy.
Get a room.
Evryone knows I am not to be held responsible for my actions when Graham is around.
Sometimes I peer pressure myself into doing bad things.
Pay no attention to those folks. Welcome aboard!
Hi, wahnula! Gosh, that’s a great handle. Can you, uh, explain it? You don’t have to, of course, I’m just nosy, er, I mean curious. 8)
Hi!
(read you all the time; rarely, if ever, comment. Love you guys, though–and the commenters!)
Hey, Lexi! Glad you could type a few notes! We love fan mail. Come by any time.
Hi! This site always makes me laugh. So much stupid in the world. 🙂 Thanks for all the work that goes into maintaining a site like this. It’s amazing. 🙂
Uh, Katherine, are you saying we make you laugh with our stupid? LOL Cause that could be true!
*Waves to new people*
Hi, new people!
I see new people.
They are the eyes I’ve been seeing, gleaming red on the outskirts of the camp at night, afraid to approach the campfire.
The pinecones and peanut butter worked!!! Quick, get a net!!!
HHNF lost her giant butterfly net to her bookie, unfortunately.
It’s cool. I have a box propped on a stick with figs underneath.
HHNF: These is something more than vaguely sexual about that sentence.
TM, I must be tired if, only after you mentioned it, can I see the bright flashing neon smut in my comment.
I can feel their eyes on me, watching, always watching me.
glances nervously around the room
Always watching…

Commenting (for the second time ever), just because you told me to. This is me having poor impulse control (or perhaps no mind of my own…). 🙂
Don’t worry, Ren, the YSaC vortex gets us all in the end.
Or the rear.
So… YSaC is actually a rear disease then?
Well, it distracts me from work, keeps me up at night, makes me lose my appetite and sometimes cry….
Sounds about right.
@ Tacomagic – no YSaC is not the rear end disease, CL is … or rather it’s for people with rear end diseases that then circulate into their nervous system and ends up distoring their brains.
Hey drmk glad to add to the comments !!
Posert – I think educated is a great thing to do to others, as in the UK saying “he learnt us Geography”
Didn’t even have to loose the hypno-dogs.
Hiya, Ren! That wouldn’t be short for “Ren-WA”, would it???
Ren, don’t be a stranger! Come back and stay awhile!
You people are gonna get me fired. It’s not my fault for being undisciplined at work, it’s your fault for such clever snark and amusing discussions of stupidity on the internets! At least my bosses didn’t notice me reading through all of the hundreds of archived YSaC postings when I first discovered this community.
Seconded.
I read your name as lawnninja at first, and I imagined someone lurking in the bushes all in black.
Lawninja is slightly scarier, though.
Hehe, lawnninja. That made me picture one of those garden gnomes in a ninja getup. =D
“Lawnninja” for some reason makes me think of the oh-so-politically-incorrect “lawnjockey” at my oblivious in-laws house. It’s just so wrong but probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
but you know you love it, and you’ll sneakily be back again tomorrow, and the next day….
Welcome to all the new folks by the way, nice to see you all joining in 🙂
I can see the new banner now;
YSaC – It’s the new heroin!
Hmm, Yancy, that give me an idea for a new service. The YSaC unemployment service. Hate your job? Want to leave but can’t find the courage? Read the comments, and you will get yourself fired! A small fee will be deducted from your final paycheck.
Does it count that I only started commenting after I quit my job?
Sorry, YSaC unemployment services are not available retroactively. Maybe radioactively…
Hi!
I’m not much for commenting, but since you asked so nicely I’ll do it just this once. 🙂
I’ve been a daily reader here for about two months- great stuff, keep it coming!
Blue, bet you can’t comment just once! I mean, what fun would that be? Come on, I know you have something to say about the way HHNF and Graham T have been carrying on.
If I’m going too far, please let me know. I don’t want to be hated *too much*
Hi
Emily! What a great comment! I mean, it says it all, doesn’t it? Hi!
3th day as a reader of this here interwebs site. just showin some love and saying ‘hi’ per the llama request.
Aw, we feel the love, hammbone. We’d love to get to know you better!
Congrats, windrose! You had every comment in the Talk Among Yourselves box.
*applause*
Thanks Archie, but that happens frequently. On those rare days when everyone is off being busy and stuff, and I am here amusing myself.
Well, I sure don’t comment often, but I read this blog every day. And the comment threads are often hilarious.
“…often hilarious…”?
I guess we should try harder.
A man walks into a bar and says “OUCH!”
Emergency Joke!
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants.
The bartender asks, “What’s with the wheel?”
The pirate says, “Arr, she drives me nuts.”
A skeleton walks into a bar. He orders a beer and a mop.
Yay! finally I have an excuse for these jokes!
A priest, a minister, and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, “What is this, some kind of joke?”
A ham sandwich walks into a bar.
The bartender looks at him and says, “Sorry, we don’t serve food here.”
A horse walks into a bar.
The bartender says, “Why the long face?”
The horse says, “My wife just divorced me.”
The bartender says, “Holy Crap! A talking horse!”
Better and better! Sexyfingers’ horse reminds me of this:
Two blueberry muffins were baking inside an oven.
The first muffin looks around and says, “Holy crap, it’s hot in here!”
The second muffin looks at the first muffin and says, “Holy shit, a talking muffin!”
That reminded me of an old classic (I’ve changed it to be far less offensive):
Q: Why can’t Blackbeard the pirate eat brownies?
A: Because he’s dead.
Okay, just one more, I swear.
Where does the king hide his army?
In his sleevy.
Definition for you:
Irony: Made of iron.
And the opposite of irony is wrinkly!
A grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender says, “Hey, you know we serve a drink named after you?”
The grasshopper says, “You have a drink called Stan?”
What is the most important thing to learn in chemistry?
Never lick the spoon.
(ok, it’s not great, but I’m a bit short on “walked into a bar” jokes)
Did you hear about the dyslexic guy? He walked into a bra.
That reminds me of the insomniac dyslexic agnostic. He stayed up all night pondering the existence of Dog.
Warning: Long Joke.
Ok so there was a science expidition to the rainforests of South America. They were searching for the legendary FooBird. Before going out in search of the bird, they met with their native guides to go over the details of the expidition.
During the meeting one of the guides mentioned a safety concern to the scientists. He told them that if the FooBird were to ever poop on them not to wipe it off. If they did wipe off the poop, they would die instantly.
So eventually the expidition was launched and they headed into the secluded rainforests, lead by their guides. After several days without seeing anything, one of the guides suddenly pointed to the sky and announced, “FooBird!” Excitedly the scientists looked up to see the bird, but at that moment the FooBird took an enourmous dump right on one of the researcher’s face. Disgusted, he wiped the poop off his face and promplty dropped dead.
The moral of the story? If the Foo shits, wear it.
Hey! I had a friend that was dyslexic. He tried to commit suicide. Jumped behind a bus…
What a coincidence; I also had a suicidal dyslexic friend. We found him just as he was putting the gnu to his head. Luckily, he wasn’t too badly trampled in the end…
Two Irishmen walk out of a bar. Hey! It could happen!
A giraffe walks into a bar and says, “The highballs are on me.”
a panda walks into a bar, orders a salad, pulls out a gun and kills the guy next to him, then walks out.
A witness asked, ‘what was that about?’
The bartender says, ‘He’s a panda. He eats shoots and leaves.’
Bwahahah! Okay, I’ll leave.
How do you make a tissue dance?
You put a little boogie in it.
First thing this morning, there was a tap on my door.
Funny sense of humour my plumber has
Two ropes walk into a bar. The first rope orders a drink; the bartender says “Are you a rope? We don’t serve your kind ’round here.” The first rope leaves.
The second rope forms himself into a couple of half hitches, makes his ends all raggedy, and orders a drink. The bartender says “You look a lot like a rope. Are you a rope?” The second rope replies “I’m afraid not.” . . . . . . . . . (“I’m a frayed knot”)
First time posting. Love the horror of the CL posts but it’s the fancy and the common-taters that keep me coming back for more.
Ok, if y’all are going to go there with the long jokes:
One day, Little Snake was hissing in the pit. His mother came over and told him, “Little Snake, you can’t hiss in the pit today. I have to clean the pit because we’re having company later. Go over to Mrs. Pott’s pit and hiss.”
So Little Snake slithers on over to Mrs. Pott’s pit and starts hissing around. After a while Mrs. Pott comes out and tells Little Snake, “You can’t hiss in my pit. You need to go back to your own pit and hiss.”
So Little Snake slithers back to his own pit and starts hissing around. His mother spots him and comes over to yell at him; “I thought I told you to go to Mrs. Pott’s pit to hiss?”
“But Mom,” he replies, “Mrs. Pott says that I can’t hiss in her pit. She said I have to go to my own pit and hiss.”
“Well of all the nerve,” the mother replies. “I knew Mrs. Pott when she didn’t have a pit to hiss in!”
(try saying the whole thing out loud. I dare ya!)
Nik, now see what you started. Can’t you tell SaraJean she’s always funny? You can lie to her, she won’t mind!
I like being lied to, it gives me a warm fuzzy inside.
That could be heartburn though…
Graham has some ‘Alka-Seltzer’ for that.
Drink up!
Thanks for being kind of awesome!
Leni, thanks for being kind of sincere!
That made me literally LoL, Windrose, thanks for being kind of funny.
Hello, I am responding to your ad on Craigslist. I think I would be perfect for your podcast. I do in fact have a rear disease.
For several years now, beginning in my mid twenties, my rear seems to expand at an exponential rate. As other parts of my body do expand and gain mass, my rear seems to have broadened far more rapidly. This is a result of serious medical issue, Rearadose-Expandotia-Rapidose, or “Ba-donk-a-donk-itis”, which, as you know, is both embarrassing and dibilitating. It’s catagorized by an immense hind end, extremely full hips, and a generally expansive buttocks.
Symptoms of Ba-donk-a-donk-itis include: overwhelming cravings for sweet and salty foods, low mobility, slothfullness, and a draw toward hours of daytime television. Other symptoms can include pants that seem to shrink weekly, seats that are made for “little scrawny stick people”, and a severely decreased self-awareness.
I have only recently been diagnosed, and have just begun to receive treatment. It is very painful, consisting of agonizing walks to and from the car, which must be parked at least 3 spaces from the front of stores and my home. I must also not buy clothing from the “Juniors” section, which has been a blow to my self-esteem (who DOESN’T want a pink jean mini-skirt with matching tube top???). I must not have fast food more than twice a day, and the doctor has decided that my normal intake of 16 sodas a day is “excessive” and “likely to turn my into a sugar-addicted psychopath” (whatever!).
I would like to come on your show to raise awareness of this sad condition, and the people who stuggle daily to overcome the obstacles associated with it. I want to bring a face to Ba-Donk-A-Donk-itis, and show that those afflicted are proud and live with dignity.
We ask not for a cure, we simply ask for acceptance.
In other parts of the world this is also known as Junkus inda Trunkus.
Laughing.To.Tears…OMG…
Erm…have you tried the new pill for your condition?
It’s called Noassatoll.
It didn’t work for me. Maybe because I washed it down with ex-large milkshakes…three times a day…maybe…
I know what you mean CJ, and I’d just decided it was safe to continue drinking that coffee too.
*grabs another screen wipe*
Well At Least they have Made a chAin of safehouses foR you To be among your own.
are you suffering from that rare pinky disease that Taco seems to have, RandomCapititus?

Aren’t there more pressing topics to educate teens about than “sphincter restenosis?” Like “Hey kids, here’s how you don’t get pregnant” or “Here is how you prepare yourself for life, you aren’t ‘entitled’ to anything.”
I’m pretty sure that the lesson on “Hey kids, here’s how you don’t get pregnant” would later necessitate a lesson on rear diseases.
Hi.
Erm… Is that me? Am I a balding Cubs fan? Hello, other Dan person!
Hey, Ostrimu Dan, off-topic question: have you ever been to Vancouver? Because I think I may have a picture of you from UBC:
http://picasaweb.google.com/sabah.i86/WildThings#5107147891259573874
That’s fantastic. No, never been to Vancouver, just eastern Canuckistan.
another possible dan sighting:
http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/reference/services/tutorials/Tutorial–Final%20Version.swf
To be clear, this is NOT the school at which I teach, but it is linked to on our library’s site under our “English composition resources” page. My immediate reaction when reviewing these during library training over winter break: exclaiming loudly (in the library, mind you) “LOOK, IT’S AN EMU!”
Dan the Man, as opposed to the Ostrimu, welcome. Your post is so pithy, yet precise. So potent, and at the same time, so clearly minimalist.
Another comment by a (mostly) lurker. I can’t think of a thing to say about Mr. Rear Disease except that if he’s that big a shot, why didn’t his Craigslist posting go by an administrative assistant or some other kind of underling before it was submitted? Also, why would he post a two-bit ad on CL anyhow instead of announcing this need on his “popular internet podcast”?
Tex, I recognize your handle, so you don’t qualify any more as a lurker. Sorry. Next!
*puts on glittery wings* The comment fairy has arrived! For every comment you make, I will grant you one bar of chocolate. If you don’t like chocolate, then I will give you nothing for being a poor sport.
Free chocolate for each comment?
Do I actually have to make an attempt of being coherent with my comments or can they just contain drool?
If we are trying to beat a record, drool is not only acceptable, but recquired.
It wasn’t in my plan to break a record — I just wanted to see if people would delurk just to say hi. I’m grateful that they have, and hope that some of them will consider commenting on a more regular basis!
For an example: See GrahamT and HHNF comments sprinkled (pun intended) throughout yesterday’s comments.
Ferret!♥!
Now, which button do I push on this computer thing to make it give me my damned chocolate?
What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do with a lifetime supply of chocolate.
I was just wondering the same thing, I must be owed 4 or 5 by now. Come one, gimme my chocolate!

I used to comment more often, but then school started again (in August). Now i’m commenting again because drmk told me to. So there.
Keep up the good work, frequent comment club.
– That lady who made YSaC posts part of the English 101 curriculum.
Notably, I have a big stack of grading to do right here. Big-stack-o-grading, I blame you for my lack of presence in YSaC comments / forum lately.
Too bad “grading freshman composition papers” can’t be classified as a “rear disease” – then I could join that exciting study and be educated-ed.
Well, it’s a pain in the rear. Is that close enough?
As someone who also often has to grade mind-numbing stacks of freshman compositions, I do appreciate that after reading most YSaC posts, the papers start to look a little better by comparison. On the other hand, it would definitely be easy to keep a “You Suck at Freshman Comp” blog in business. That is, if one’s mind wasn’t so numb.
okay,
1) Hiya, welcome back!
2) “That lady who made YSaC posts part of the English 101 curriculum”
—-That is AWESOME!!!
Please comment in addition to saying hi! We’re only truly mean here if you’re a bot or spammer or had your sense of humor surgically removed at birth. Dorky and obscure references welcome (you may be surprised by how many people get them). Let your geek flag fly. Be a pedant, drink Dr. Pedant … (OK, I’m showing my age here). You get the idea.
I’m glad you said it. I was just thinking it.
Also, no trolls unless you’re actually from Discworld.
I’ll be taking my leave, then…
what? You’re not from Discworld Graham?
Why, do I look like I am?
maybe not with that avatar, no. I just always assumed most of the regulars here were from “elsewhere” if you know what I mean. After all, Earth is boring.
No, Earth is harmless, “mostly harmless”–just ask Ford.
I just want to say good luck, we’re all counting on you.
That’s my line.
Can we call you Shirley?
Yes you can call me, but don’t call me surely.
Can I call you Al?
Only if I can call you Betty
Nice beaver!
Lurker, thanks! I just had it stuffed!
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
I just want to say good luck, we’re all counting on you.
(and add this to get around the stupid WordPress duplicate comment detection.)
Grats on all the comments there drmk! tl/dr though 🙁 You’ve exceeded my blog comment section time limit! Argh! What shall I ever do?
Ignore all the flirting. That’ll cut it down by 2/3irds.
Hi! Longtime reader, seldom commenter here.
voodoo, you bring a certain magic with you. Hope to see you more often.
Just saying hi and helping with your plight. Also, the lion/tiger debate never gets old.
What’s a tiger?
*waits for you to say something totally crazy about gigantic orange cats with black stripes*
Surely this is one? Isn’t it?

Rachel, what plight? Are we having a plight? Why didn’t anyone tell me!
Like the movie, Plight of the Not. A. Gator.
That gave me chills.
One of my flavorite movies!
I always got freaked out when he came back and his brother was older than him.
YSaC is my regular dose of morning laughter…
Hey, Brit, didn’t you comment here recently? Just checking.
Nothing to add, but I read every post. Keep it up!
Jason, that’s a dangerous comment with this crowd. Keeping up a post. Hur hur hur.
Hi! That is all.
Rose, there has to be more! What about the wind? (get it? Wind. Rose. Windrose!) LOL
The answer, my friend is blowing in the windrose…
i made it worse.
All we are is dust in the windrose.
Hey, I actually had fun playing counselor and nag with you.
I typed that quietly so no one else would hear.
*quietly* Oh okay, I’m glad. My forearms were numb the whole time and I slept like crap last night.
I’m sorry!
No, I’m sorry.
*shakes fist*
you’d better be
I love you guys! Don’t ever change. Unless, you know, you want to.
I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain around the proper pronunciation of “2cnd.” Sad that that’s what’s hanging me up here, and not the more disturbing prospect of a podcast about “rear diseases.”
very long time reader saying hi. feels kinda weird cause from my perspective, we’ve all been friends for months :-). i see 2cnd as
two-canned, which is most definitely a rear disease.
Lauren, that puts an interesting twist to the song Paul Williams wrote for the first Muppet movie, the line goes “There’s not a word yet For old friends who’ve just met!”
Ahh, my favoritest song in the whole wide world!
*goes home humming*
Personally, I hear it in my head as “two-cund,” but that might just be me.
Kogarashi, we all have our hang-ups. Mine are about laundry.
Mine are about curtains.
*opens door to YsaC* *blinks*
Wow! Lookit all these peoples! Boy, when drmk issues a “please comment” request, she is obeyed. The llama-nun has powers!
*waves at new people*
Howdy! And welcome!
Now if only she could harness that power for good…
But wouldn’t harnessing it for snarky eeevvviiilll be so much better?
You’re right; screw good, let’s get some more snark!
I thought I had a rear disease, but it was just a freckle.
I was once stung by a wasp on my rear. Does that count?
Only if I can count this unfortunate side effect of the first time I got drunk. I’m told it’s a butterfly, but it could be a flaming skull for all I know.
Karmyn, that does it. You have to comment more often.
Oh, excuse me, I was just lurking…
Anne, sorry, your lurking license has expired. You no longer have the right to remain silent. 8)
Hi dmrk. Can I go back to lurking now?
madKathy, don’t go! Stay and chat. It’s fun!
Just following instructions 🙂 I read everyday, but never comment. Love this blog, thanks for making my workday bearable….
Wait, Amy S, you get to be bear at work? What kind of job is that, and where do I sign up?
My guess is Amy works at Yellowstone stealing picnic baskets from unsuspecting tourists. To apply call and ask to speak with Booboo.
I’m getting the guts to finally comment after reading YSaC for over a year.
I really want to contact the Host about my interested, but I’m still waiting to find out what my interested should be doing. It seems like he cut that second-to-last sentence short and it’s driving me crazy! My interested does what?
It accidentally X
Jimmyboy, you NEED to be a regular commenter! Join us! One of us! One of us!
Just saying ‘Hi’ as ordered (and b/c I’d rather not be doing my actual work). Also, all this rear disease awareness is so touching. YSaC Commenters = educating the under 30 of america, one day at a time.
Anne, there will be no touching of rears here! You need to get a room for that. Humph.
Hi, I’m a regular reader who doesn’t comment often!
Maybe after the dude podcasts about rear diseases, he can educated the youth about how babby is formed.
Hi Larry, I think I remember you commenting before because I keep wondering where your two brothers, Darryl and Darryl, have gone.
*chokes on mouthful of water*
Since you asked nicely…Hi!
strista, welcome, pull up a virtual chair and we’ll have tea!
Lurker here! Regular reader, never commenter!
Love to lurk though… so, I, um… will go back to that 🙂
Dang! Jojo, what will it take to make you stay out in the open? We rarely bit people around here. Unless they are named Corey. And then it’s all fun and games. Really!
I’m pretty sure I’ve commented before, but I didn’t feel like checking. I’ll ask THX SANDRA if she remembers.
Kyle, Kyle, you have to keep track of these things! Get a pencil and paper, we’ll wait.
As a student, it’s basically my job to scour the Internet in search of the funny. There’s the tolerable-but-not-that-funny, the sort-of-funny, the decently-funny, and the made-people-nearby-ask-what’s-so-funny-funny. YSaC is one of the few, the proud, and the brave in that last category. Keep on truckin’.
Well said, V.
drmk and dan: Break out the bubbly and give each other a hug.
*wipes tear from corner of eye*
Everyone else: Let’s give them a big internet high five!
I couldn’t have said it better. YSAC is one of the few good refuges for the bored office workers and students of the world, what with Adnoxious being indefinitely out of order.
V, loved your tv show, back in the day. Stay real, man.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicole, I’m just guessing here, have you posted ads on Craigslist?
just saying “hi”
mb so good to see you here! Just saying.
Well, since you asked… I guess it is a little creepy that I read EVERY SINGLE POST without so much as a comment. It’s like TV to me, view from the outside. But hilarious. Oh people.
Oh no, not creepy at all.
* orders new deadbolts and measures windows for bars*
Where exactly outside did you say you were viewing from?
*Surreptitiously dials police*
Sara, get out! The posts are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!
Pvt. Disease, here! Bringing up the rear! (as usual…sheesh…don’t you people have JOBS??)
Hi, YSaC, from one who reads the RSS but rarely clicks thru. I’m at work and can think of nothing pithy to say.
We’re not only pithy, we’re thnarky.
kat, it’s really dangerous to be pithy at work, unless your boss is out for the day. 8)
*looks at all the similar avatars, and thinks about pouting since hers is no longer distinct…decides that’s just childish*
So, y’all come back now, ya hear?
I have a rear disease that I’m willing to show to kids today for education purposes. But I’m over 30. Drat!
Guess I’ll just have to go on Jerry Springer instead, during his wildly popular but little known, “U R OVER 30 AND HAVE A REAR DISEASE” educational segments. Usually appearing between commercial breaks, Jerry’s, “URO3AHARD” clips offer exciting and educational glimpses into those, “HARD” individuals so tragically afflicted. Excitingly, the rate of, “HARD” individuals among Jerry’s viewership has dropped significantly!
Pidder Bear, welcome. Thanks for the educational comment. What sort of treatment are you using for your HARD?
*slinks in* Hey all. I read every day, ‘course, but I don’t comment much anymore, because the posts go up while I’m in class (yay college starting too early) and by the time I get back, everyone else is already gone, or engaged in discussions with each other 🙁 Boo.
Another semi-lurker who always gets here after everyone has gone home. Still love to read it all.
Re: the ad: I slipped on the icy un-salted stairs in front of my apartment on saturday. The bruise on my rear looked like I sat in dark purple paint until yesterday, when it started to fade in the center. Now it looks like an outline of Germany. Not even kidding. I want to call up my landlord and kvetch about the groundskeepers that suck so much, but I’m too shy. Even after walking around for 2 days with a limp because of their excess suckage.
Does that count as a rear disease? It involves lots of blood and ugly!
I know I’ll get my humor-fix at YSaC!
Thanks.
Julie, how did your humor get broken? Glad we could fix it for you!
Hi, everyone!
*is bad at coming up with something more creative to say*
*hands Mel-san-chan a book of knock,knock jokes* I am sure all you need is inspiration!
So are you going to reply to each of these new commenters? That’s quite a feat.
Windrose: our industrious one-bird welcoming committee.
AR, I’m not going to make it, but I got pretty close! 8)
I absolutely love this site and check it every day. Don’t think I’ve ever commented, though (I can’t keep up with the awesome amount of snark here). I couldn’t let drmk down, though, so … Hi everyone!
Well, I delurked last night, but I’ll do my bit for the cause (hush, Windrose).
*can’t resist commenting any longer!* Honey, you’ll do your bit for less of an excuse than that! *oh, I don’t think that came out right*
As expected, you don’t follow instructions worth a damn. 🙂
I’m calling it:
Get a room! (because you can ♥)
Aww, the cute married people!
Aren’t they adorable at that age?
popping out of the woodwork to say hi.
hi! love the blog!
Tracy, glad to meet you. Do you know a good carpenter?
Regular reader prevented from commenting due to rear disease.
But I don’t like to talk about it.
Fiendish, can you type about it? 8) I think you are smart to not be taking out your rear disease.
I’m impressed that there are so many permutations of the geometric quilt patterns, and each one is unique! Like snowflakes!
Maybe I should get my mom to email me some recent pictures of the family cats so I can fit in a little better.
Hi!
Welcome, Jon! How are Garfield and Odie doing these days?
:unlurk:
hi
:relurk:
Kapuhi, this is like those magic eye pictures, where you have to stare at it and unfocus your eyes to see the Not.A.Lion, right?
Hi! I don’t post often, and now I’m wondering if my geometric pattern is going to be the same every time I post. I’m going to find my last comment to check.
Bogcat, you should find it identical except for the tiny little numbers in the bottom left corner. That goes up by one every time you post. *whistles noncholantly*
Uh, hi! I’m a regular reader, but nary once have I commented.
Josh, Until now! You forgot that part. Welcome!
Just a question – what happens if this post gets loads of comments? Does it win something? Will the llama-nun and ostrimu become interweb moguls and go to heady heights and burn $500 for warmth?? Whatever – go for it!!
I don’t get out much *am not allowed out much into sane society * and as well over 30 am of course totally ignorant of technical things.
None of the above — it just gives me the satisfaction of meeting readers, and hopefully convinces them to comment occasionally.
There’s no danger of us being internet moguls. We actually turned down an acquisition offer.
Honestly, drmk, you are so good about being welcoming when people first comment, it makes it really easy to comment more. Thanks! You really put people at ease.
I rather like that you didn’t sell the site. All power to those who can and do, but I like the fact you did not.
Hey tig!! You are Not.A.Lion!! Seriously!
Ooh, I love your lion Gravatar!
If that lion pciture was posted on Cregslist, I’d bye it.
I love this site, but I don’t think I’ve ever commented.
My husband always gives me strange looks when I crack up while reading the posts here, hehe.
Hi Clodia,
My husband stopped the strange looks lone ago, now he just says “oh you’re visiting that one again are you?”
Mine was saying, “Let me guess. Craigslist?” Now, he are one!
I agree. We cannot overcome the Greatest Generation® without proper rear education. The youth need you.
i gots dis rear disease cause i’s a back door man!
(in soviet russia back door man gets you!)
Strange, that didn’t look so dirty the first time, so back to lurking.
lol wut
I’m commenting just to comment, because you asked me to comment. So here’s my comment. Comment on it.
I’m commenting on your comment on being asked to comment.
We have no comment on the comment commenting on the comment that was posted to comment on the request for commentary.
My eyes! My eyes!
My brain!
I think part of it just dribbled out of my ear
Vos commentaires sont l’accueil ici. Le commentaire de nouveau, s’il vous plaît.
*impressed* Ohhhhhhh.
Purdy furrin talk.
Thank you, sarajean, but I can’t take complete credit. I remembered everything but what the word was for welcome. Had to look that one up. Everything else came squeaking out of the rusty back of my brain.
[corey]Bienvenues (f. plural)[/corey]
Now I’ll be Lili Von Shtupping all afternoon, “Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome, c’mon in!”
“coming and going and going and coming, and always too soon…”
Love me some Blazing Saddles.
*place comment here*
I’m a regular reader, but don’t think I’ve ever commented before. Hi!
If you’re regular, you probably don’t have a rear disease.
Well, I can follow directions.
Hi!
Meej, now type the same thing while standing on one leg. Doesn’t matter whose leg. Just stand on it.
After much searching I found a unique swanky avatar just for me. Let me know what you all think…..
In Soviet Russia avatar swanks you!
I didn’t even recognize you…it’s so dynamic!
Nice avatar. Good to have an answer to the question “Who ya gonna call?” if the problem is, say, a surplus of pedants.
Why does the response “Pedantbusters” sound … vaguely dirty? Or is that just me?
Hi. I have a question. If someone makes a corey comment, but it’s not really a corey comment, and then someone makes a corey comment about that, is the corey about the non-corey a corey?
We have a case in front of the Supreme Court right now, Multnomah County v. corey, which I think will set some important precedents in this area. I can’t comment any further until an opinion is reached.
Ah yes, the Dickensianly convoluted Corey vs. Corey, which is like the famous Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, except no one wants to claim Corey.
Yo dawg, I heard you like corey, so I put a corey in your corey so you can be a douchebag while you’re a douchebag!
Just kidding. Two coreys would be the devil.
Multi-memelicious.
They’re much more nutritious than the regular memes.
Smells like meme spirit.
And they come in chewable babby shapes.
And they’re minty!
Thankfully, I do not have a rear disease. That I know of. Dear god, I hope I don’t have a rear disease that I don’t know about!
Turn around, Becky, we’ll tell you if you have a rear disease. Don’t be afraid, we’re professionals.
*waves* Daily lurker, occasional commenter. This website does NOT suck!
Officially a very cute avatar.
Dawwwwwww, wookit teh kitteh!!!! So kyoooooot!
Okay, done now.
Ladycrim, you made drmk do baby talk in comments. Awesome!
Longtime lurker here, commenting by invitation. Also to see if the Gravatar thing works. Not commenting on post, because I was reared not to speak of . . . you know . . . in polite company. Or this sort of company either.
huh huh huh … you said “reared” … huh huh heh heh
</Beavis>
Hi! Regular reader, but not much of a “typist” or even a “social internet butterfly.” I also like using “quotation” marks far too “often.”
I love the site. 🙂
“Thanks!”
I’m a regular reader. I don’t comment because by the time I get here, everything I would have said, has been said 🙂
Not true — nobody had said that yet!
[Title] is nice, although my favorite internet podcast is [This is not a title].

Hi!
Regular reader – first time commenter. *ding* What do I win?
You win a cheese!
I have a forward disease.
That’s what happens when you’re too forward.
Oh, sharts.
Hi!
Howdy do.
First!
Oh…..
Anyway, I am interested in subscribing to this podcast.
Snort.
Ron, I think that’s properly spelled 1rst.
Hi.
Saying ‘Hi’! Love the site!
This is amazing! So many lurkers out there, who knew?
Welcome all of you, hope you’ll join in again some time.
Wow, we’re already up to 300 posts and HHNF hasn’t even shown up yet. Which is disappointing because she still has my squirrel costume.
Squirrel costu………….no, I don’t want to know.
No, dev, no, you don’t!
But if you see Silva’s drawing, you’ll get the picture. Oh, sorry!
I want to say something about a “nut hunt”, but that just feels wrong (and HHNF will probably pelt me with figs)
*throws figs* I have had plenty of cavity searches in my day, and none have found me with nuts. Legumes I can’t comment on. Plus, I floss.
Hi. I’ve been off getting demoted at werk, and pretending to be a responsible adult.
I’ll have your squirrel costume back soon. It’s at the cleaners. Don’t ask. There are things that should not be disgust after too many bacontinis.
Um, Hi?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k8Ig0hfguU
My First comment woohoo! So why under thirty? Anyone older couldn’t possibly understand complicated stuff like a podcast? I doubt it’s a pervy excuse to see some rear because if they are diseased…. Ummm…. let’s not go there…
Thanks for all the great work collection the world’s craigslist catastrophies. Reading this make my work day go by so much more quickly!
just saying hi!
Thanks for my daily fix of humour and superiority. I love this site!
I just realized that I have a Bengal Tiger plushie that sits on my bookshelf. I totally need to sew him a little lion costume and take pictures.
For the YSaC trivia game: He is named Xentaff after my first D&D Character.
Let me guess…male half-elf.
Yup, Bard too.
Taco, I think you Meredithed again, you delicious little cocktail, you.
This one time? at Bard camp….
I’m always down for a good mission!
Can I be Rear Admiral?
Just commenting to say “hi”. Long time reader, first time commenter.
I’m a regular reader, but have never commented before. I love your site and enjoy reading it every day.
I’ve commented a few times. I tend to only break my silence for the weird people, the bad spellers just make me sad. I am delighted that the commenting directive appeared on a day with a weird person.
A show about rear diseases has a much larger potential audience than a show about rare diseases, don’t you think? I know way more people who eat Activia than I do with elephantitis.
I’m a regular reader and never comment. Hi!
Read the site every day, never commented. Until now, of course. Hello, world!
Welcome to our strange world! we always love new meat *ahem* friends!
Programmer?
My first program echo’d: “Goodbye cold, cruel world!” then terminated itself.
My professor was not amused.
That is full of win. Why do programming people get so uncomfortable with breaking convention?
Anyways…
10 GOTO HELL
//This seems perfectly harmless.
I have a feeling that the poster of this ad got a flood of buttocks in their email. Would hemorrhoids, warts, anal leakage, or/and fissures really make a good podcast? I think it would beat any morning talk show I have to listen to during rush hour.
Rectal Problems = new band name.
Next on the YSaC Winter Concert Series;
Rectal Problems, with opening act Flood of Buttocks!
Don’t forget the cover band: Butt Scammers
Lurking too! But standing up to be counted.
*raises hand*
“Here!”
(*relurks*)
Wait, I lost count. Sorry, you’ll have to comment again.
I read and giggle, but never comment. I constantly find examples of things to submit.
Please do submit them, if you do not already do so.
I always hope to find something awesome to submit, but it never seems quite worthy.
None of us are quite worthy. Only Lllamanun is worthy. Only Lllamanun can judge us, and bestow mercy upon our comments.
Bees be upon her.
Hallowed be thy avatar.
Thy Craigslist come,
thy submissions be done
Give us this day our daily snark.
Taco! You buggered it up by replying to sarajean!
So, in summary, so far it’s:
[something something Llamanun]
Hallowed be thy avatar
thy Craigslist come,
thy submissions be done,
online as it is in grammar hell.
Give us this day our daily snark
and forgive us our submissions,
as we forgive those fools that submit against us
online as it is in grammar hell
and forgive us our submissions,
as we forgive those fools that submit against us
And lead us not into French Prudential.
But deliver us from Corey.

I am not seeing an official opening. Just (something something Llamanun)
Our blog creator, Llamanun
who art in cyberspace
( already ate my chocolate bars from yesterday and am trying for more)
This is just . . . awesome.
Steve-O really came through there, I was stumped for an ending, but his stuff was brilliant.
Can we vote for Don’t Sucks? Or can Windrose at least give out punches? Cause that was AMAZING. I want THAT on a mug! Ya’ll get +eleventy-billion.
ETA: Am I allowed to say ya’ll on here, as long as I include the apostrophe?
As long as you put the apostrophe in the right place.
It’s a contraction of you all, so you want the a to go to the right of the apostrophe: y’all.
I use it all the time, grammar snob or no, because I spent the first twenty-odd years of my life (and some of those years were pretty odd) in the Lone Star State.
Thank you. It just came to me all of a sudden.
Another lurker who’s paying attention. =)
Also, the idea of this character “educating” anyone is pretty frightening, and possibly explains a lot about our schools’ current performance testing scores…
hi! i’m just saying hi, so, hi!
Hi!
Hi!
Off topic for everyone else, but always a hot topic for GrahamT:

Urkel better keeps his nerdy little hands off my woman.
This is just to say hi!
another lurker checking in. Thanks for the daily dose of lunacy.
Another daily lurker. Love your site. Thanks for the laughs.
Hi!
Good news everyone! I’ve decided to comment!
I am the man with no name, Crump, and I am a long time reader. I think this is only the second or third time I’ve ever made a comment though.
I can’t really think of anything to say about the ad as I don’t have a rear disease. However, I noticed that many of the regular commenters do have a rear disease of some sort. There must be a direct relationship between the two! My guess is that rear diseases cause commenting.
I wish all of those that have these diseases a speedy recovery, unless that means they’ll stop posting funny comments.
Edit: After posting this I realized that I’d really like to see the code generating these snazzy geometry avatar things. Anyone know what they are called so I can look into it and satisfy my curiosity?
Can we just call you Crump-Pinnet?
If you really want to.
For the sake of accuracy, if you do call me that I should meet a lady with the last name of Pinnet, marry her, and hyphenate our names together.
…actually I may do that anyways. Crump-Pinnet would make a pretty awesome name.
Torza has this link!

oh god, not again. Torza could resist
Another daily lurker and RSS feed reader reporting for duty!
Okay, just FYI in case anyone is going grocery shopping today, Campbell’s canned spaghetti is not fit for consumption.
That is all.
Seriously Graham? That’s like eating canned bread. Or canned whole chicken. Just not right.
It was a serious miscalculation on my part, I admit.
um, as a former speciality food broker, I can testify that there’s such thing as bread in a can.
Because nothing says lovin’ like bread from a can.
lol, I know there is. there’s also whole chicken in a can! they’re just horrible ideas *vomit*
eww. I also carried pickled pigs’ feet in jars. I’m glad to have left that behind me.
Wait, is having pickled pigs’ feet behind you a rear disease? Crud. I’m over 30, too.
Where I ilve (the American South) you can find opened jars of pickled pig’s feet in bars, right next to the jars of pickled eggs, and both are set out for the customers’ enjoyment.
They smell like salty death.
Canned brown bread is actually pretty tasty.
Think of it sort of more like a dense rum-cake (without the rum). It’s not really bread. But it is pretty good.

I can’t get there through my proxy, can you post it to your photobucket? 😛
Oh that is so gross HHNF
Omnomnom *dies*
Do they have Minestrone Menthols?
And I thought the cup o’ noodles I had for lunch today was bad.
Campbell’s canned spaghetti: now the 2cnd most common cause of rear disease.
Aw, crap.
Regular lurker. Hi!
I have an RSS feed of this blog – loves it!
Hi!
I would not be shocked if we have 700 by tonight.
I’ll bet my new net and squirrel costume.
We’d probably hit 1,000 if you promised a picture of you hitting Graham with the net while wearing the squirrel costume.
SILVA, I need you!!!!
No, photos only or it didn’t happen.
*is summoned*
Wait…. so a bunny in a squirrel costume catching Deadpool in a net?
That sounds wacky… I’ll see if I can make a quick sketch 🙂
DUDE!!! EFFFIN LOOOOOOOOKK!!!

I think that counts.
Dang.
Hang on, I think there’s one in her Photobucket…
Oh, nevermind. Only one with her hitting me with a badminton racquet while wearing a raccoon costume. Sorry.
Oh Lord. A little pelo de perro from yesterdays meme vomit?
comment #424?
Hi! Avid lurker + scorer here sending greetings from the US left coast.
…which way is left?
*remembers she’s right-handed and so holds up the hand she writes with*
*now surveys the other hand*
Ooooh. Right, okay. I got it now. Hi!
Regular reader, irregular commenter….
Hi?
I have some fiber that could help you with that.
They make it in berry flavor now.
Been reading for awhile now, saying hi!
I don’t comment as often as I used to – when there’s this many comments, I don’t even have time to read them all (though I know many are clever and hilarious)! Congrats on breaking 500, lets see how high this one will go!
Daily stalker, first time commenter.
Hi.
(Btw, I am Not. A. Lion.)
I visit (and read) here daily – first time commenting. HI!
Saying “hi” as ordered. I love YSaC.
SLizzy, is that a –FLAMINGO??? OMJ! That’s sooooo pretty!
Longtime reader, first time commenter. My brain is drained of funny at this point in the day, but I just wanted to say that this site makes me laugh every freeking day and cures all my rear diseases.
Keep rockin’ in the free world!
Popping in to say hello, and that I’m glad I have no rear diseases. XD
. . . and now I have an avatar! wow first comment. first vote. first avatar. so much newness today. . . I think i need a nap!
I read your comments every morning before school…now I have to get up MUCH earlier to read them all.
Chaos Theory: A sarcastic a-hole posts 100 messages in Phoenix, and a student gets up real early in Virginia.
No need to call me names in front of the new posters.
Whatever you say, Sexyfingers.
Does he mind if I speak about him in third person while he is right here?
Man, that name stuck like I stapled it to myself.
No, I don’t think he does. He’s off stapling things to himself, or something. I wasn’t paying attention.
How on earth do you know I’m in Virginia?
I am a 133t ha><0rz.
And a sarcastic a-hole. And many other things we won’t say in front of the chillins.
He thanks you for your discretion.
@Graham, you mean one of these kind?….”We are here on Earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don’t know”
I don’t do good, I just do no/little harm.
Just clarification before the llamanun and/or dan get nervous about me secretly ha><ing their comments, I totally guessed Libbysgirl's location. There was no hacking involved, other than some apparently good logic on my part.
That’s weird, my last comment didn’t show up.
Anyway, I was just clarifying for the sake of the Llama-nun and/or Dan that there was no hacking involved in my correctly naming Libbysgirl’s location, just (apparently) good logic. I just don’t want them thinking that I’m doing anything nefarious with their site.
*closes blinds, changes email address, lurks away*
Well it’s been fun helping things get to, where are we? Almost 500 comments so far, woohoo!
I will be off in a minute to watch Numb3ers, feed that cats, then I’m heading for an early night with David Tennant.
*wonders if she should clarify that final line*
Nah, leave em wondering.
David Tennant! *fangirl squee* I love David Tennant. Probably more than my husband would like. 😀 I’m guessing Doctor Who?
Doctor Who audio books, there’s 4 that are only available in that format so I spent the last on my Christmas money on them.
He reads 2 of them himself, so I had David read me a bedtime story. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to clear the drool away before hubby sees it.
Dev, I was first introduced to David Tennant when I was in England on a study abroad in 2008. We made a special trip to Stratford-on-Avon and got to see David Tennant and Patrick Stewart in Hamlet. Holy moly, it was probably one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. DT was really able to do the anguished bookish guy who talks and analyzes stuff instead of just DOING SOMETHING. It was wonderful, and totally worth spending the night freezing outside the theatre so we could get tickets first thing in the morning. 😀
They actually taped it, and will be showing it on PBS in April. (They aren’t paying me or anything, but when there is something that spectacular, it MUST be shared!)
I know what you mean. I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews of that performance, and from what I hear the tickets sold out in under 3 hours, it’s just a shame I was too far away to go myself.
I also managed to miss it when it was televised over here too, but I’m hoping for a DVD release at a later date *crosses fingers*
That’s right, you are in England, right? Well, my fangirl stalking is your gain! From the David Tennant fan site:
“A repeat of Hamlet will air in the UK on BBC Four at 19:00pm on 30th January 2010.”
Also, you can order the DVD here:
http://www.david-tennant.com/2009/id117.html
Stupid Region 2 DVDs. Now I just need my husband to do the whole up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-a-b-a-b to our DVD player so it can play anything!
that’s great, thanks,
I’ll go add it to the Sky planner so I don’t forget it and miss it again. Hubby will likely pull a face, but he could stand to have a little more culture in his life.
“…make our generation aware of diseases they may not know of.”
Do other generations automatically know about rare rear diseases?
Some of us are born that way. 8/
You asked, so here’s my regular reader comment. Hi!
