For Sale Several Boys Used Shoes – $3


I have several boys genitally used shoes for sale, asking $2.50 pair OBO:

1. 8.5w yellowish work boots
2. 8.5 green boots
3. 8.5w brown boots
4. 8.5 black cowboy boots

Contact at xxxxxxx@aol.com or call xxx-xxxx.

Denise

There were pictures, but sadly, they actually matched the description … although I didn’t see any traces of sexual abuse on them.

Is it wrong that I was really tempted to use the slimy tag here?

Thanks for the submission, Rachel!

    It took me the longest time to figure out what “genitally” was supposed to be. Being a biologist, my first thought was “genetically,” but while less gross, that didn’t make any more sense.

      Perhaps they were using them for gene splicing experiments. Isn’t that how you get waterproof boots, by crossing them with frogs? Or do you just get frogs that pile up in the back of your closet?

        The first time I read the title, I was uncaffeinated, and clearly have reached a point where I expect the jokes here to be off-color, because my brain read it as: “These boobs were made for … ew.” How it happened that my brain was briefly taken over by adolescent boys, I don’t quite know … I’m going to blame it on peripheral exposure to various types of splodiness.

        I made the mistake of teaching my son that song when he was three. It used to annoy me because he’d run around chanting it for hours (well, okay, quarter-hours. I have a short fuse.) And then he forgot that he knew it…and now I can trigger him by just humming the tune and HE DOESN’T KNOW WHY HE’S SINGING! Ahhh…kids are great entertainment.

    We are presuming “boy’s” due to the rest of the copy. But, what if there’s a comma omitted after “used” and that it should read “shoes’ ” after that.

(I do not want bars for ASK, or Bing, or Yahoo, or even Google – stop trying to install them for me!) I will uninstall them from any customer’s computer given half a chance. (“You see that there?

      *Drumroll*

      Coming in fourth, Spacebug! With 4 Solos, I group, and no honoraries!

      A three way tie for third was setteled using groups and honoraies, so Third Third is MandaB, with 3 Solos, 1 Group, and 3 honoraries!

      Second Third is the man who taught Manda everything she knows about snark, Grampdaddy! With 4 Solos and 1 Group.

      First Third is the grown-up in a teenager’s body, Astrognash! With 4 Solos and 3 Groups! Impressive.

      Second place goes to (check your score cards!) TacoMagic! With 6 Solos and 1 Group. The Magic is still alive!

      Finally, if you have been playing along at home, you know this narrows it down to our Champion of the Second Quarter, sarajean80! An impressive 3 Solo, 4 Group, and 2 Honorary, for a total of 9 YSaC points! Congratulations!

      All of our winners receive the home version of YSaC, and sarajean80 gets elebenty meat gerberts and all the interwebs she can eat. Nice!

        I had a feeling it would be SJ, we were seeing a lot of good snark from her this quarter and we were seeing her in the box a LOT. I think she tied my score from first quarter, but I can’t access the previous post.

        Anyway! As prior champion, I present sarajean80 with the coveted red table of snark! It’s yours for free, after 3 payments of $1.99 or 20 boxes of vintage cereal covered in 50’s era Crisco! (I don’t think I can cram any more memes into that sentence)

        Also, here’s a TacoThong free of charge. I’ll just leave it on the table. It’s only been used a few times.

          Taco, the stats are somewhere in the forums. If I remember correctly.

          Well done SJ! And, extremely well-deserved! I am honored to be included in such an esteemed group.

          Along with Manda’s ‘TacoThong Tongs’, I will be shipping you a truck full of bees in which you may safely store said thong after removing it from the table, and a package of super-concentrated dehydrated Brain Bleach – just add brain bleach to reconstitute it.

          Windy: Yes they used to be on the forums, but for some reason I can’t get posts to work if they aren’t on the first page.

          I’m pretty sure I was 4 solo 4 group and 1 honorable for the first quarter though.

          I’m having the same problem in the forums as Taco is. Just in case those of you in charge want to investigate.

          Same here. Since I got back to the fora a couple months ago, I haven’t been able to see any forum topics with not replies in the past 4 or 5 months.

        Bravo, SJ! Congratulations at not sucking the best! That is quite an honor. Well, except the Taco thong. If you’d like I’ll lend you some Taco thong tongs so that you can remove that from the table without having to touch it.

        I’d like to thank the Academy…Err, wrong speech.

        Thank you everyone! I hope to continue Not Sucking well into the future.

        Ummm…That doesn’t look right.

    I’m straying off topic because it seems easier than dealing with genitals today:
    Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a post a while back from someone in the Dallas area looking to offload a trebuchet? I’m totally not kidding, I think my neighbors bought it. That or they built their own.
    Life in a college town is interesting, living a block from the drive through margarita shack even more so.

      “Drive through margarita shack” scares me… especially with a trebuchet in the neighborhood.

        What’s wrong about drive through margaritas?

        *Thinks about it*

        Oh right, you’d spill.

        What’s wrong with the drive through margarita shack? Well for starters, due to the fact that liquor cannot be sold within the city limits, these are wine based margaritas. They also cost more than what a real margarita would run in a bar. Said shack also has one of those “drink until she looks right” cardboard cut outs that Taco referenced a few posts back. This place is calssay.

    Update:

    I was re-reading some of the old posts and was reminded why I do not consume beverages while reading on this blog.

    It should be noted that you CAN stop the frosted coffee drink from being sprayed all over your monitor with some willpower and clamping your jay shut. This does not, however, protect your keyboard from the jet of frappachino shooting out of your nose.

      Um…if clamping one’s “jay” shut can stop coffee from spewing on one’s monitor, one must wonder why one would be putting coffee down there in the first place.
      One might also wonder how Mini Taco was made, unless Mrs. Taco wears the boots in that family.

        It also makes one wonder what you would do with your misjay.

        See! Right next to each other.

    And as evening flees (or steals in, or is nowhere to be found, depending on where on the globe one is) a strange quiet settles over YSaC.

    Has the confusion wrought by “genitally used shoes for sale” derailed everyone’s thoughts?

    Have images of Tacos in Thongs and rods in boots sent everyone fleeing in terror?

    Has the generous use of bleach cleaned away all inclination to snark?

    Or perhaps, everyone is taking a moment to admire the beauty that is YSaC.

    Goodnight, all.
