YSaC, Vol. 836: At least he spelled “disk” right.
2010 October 31
Penisonic 5 disk cd changer – $40
This thing is pretty nice for the price it works great eccept you have to hit it when the disk goes in. Really easy but works every time. 160 watts load and sounds good bass booster all that stuff plays cds and mp3s lost the controler but it did have one radio and tape decks all work. pretty good shape all and all just dont have room for it intrested numbers ###-###-####
I could make fun of the CD changer that works great except for the minor fact that it requires violence every time you use it.
I could speculate as to what “all that stuff” may actually include. (An “on/off” switch? A power cord? Real cheddar cheese?)
But instead I’ll just point out that with the addition of just one hyphen, this person is selling a Penis-onic.
That is all.
(Edited to restore the pictures I left out. They don’t actually add much, though. – Dan)
Thanks Mike!
Penisonic – works great eccept you have to hit it when the disk goes in. My problem too until I got Viagra……..
Penis-onic … I think that those are customarily sold in the type of shops you’re supposed to be 18 to enter.
Ah, yes – Fairvilla the Costco of adult gift shops……..
I…uhh…keep thinking “sonic penis,” which sounds like either horror porn, or regular horror. I’m trying not to dwell on it too much.
I’m trying not to either, and failing miserably. Thanks, NMN! 8)
The Penisonic’s, also known as Free Penisory, has roots back to ancient times, perhaps as far back as the building of the brothels that surrounded King Solomon’s temple.
The Penisonic’s meet in buildings they call Shirley Temples or Pervert Lodges. There they hold ritualistic disk hittings to initiate new “members” into the fraternal oragsmnation.
It is generally considered really easy to join the Penisonic oragsmnation, a 160 watt load is usually sufficient. If you wish to join the Penisonic’s please contact your local Pervert Lodge and talk with his Eminence the Good bASS Booster for instructions on where to drop your load.
Please remember that anything you see, hear or do after you enter a Shirley Temple is strictly confidential unless, after review by The Grand Pervert, it can be sold on the internet for a profit (Please go to http://www.penisonicsplayhouse.org for more information)
Hammy, I would say I bow before your perverse imagination, but … I’m afraid to. 8)
Ditto! Well done Mr Hamlet…….
I just got a call from some guy named Tom Hanks, he wants to know where Shirley Temple is buried…
Grants’ Tomb.
Hughs tomb?
Yes, hopefully.
But disc isn’t spelled correctly, or rather, disk is the wrong disc to use when describing compact discs.
“It did have one radio”
What did? The appliance? The “controler”? Is it referred to in the past tense because it’s been lost, as well – albeit while in working condition?
I need a big slice of coffee before I can deal with this more in any way …
Maybe he meant BBC Radio 1, and he can’t pick up the signal anymore? I’d have wanted that back in the eighties.
“It works great eccept (sic) you have to hit it” … somehow this reminds me of my ex-husband…. and yes we can cross the line too!
Becki……..is that you? I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve missed you, but my aim is improving.
Hi CoffDrop – its Anne not Becki. Nice to know I’ve been missed. Thanks both!
I really think Sparky meant that the ‘Pen is on it’. I used to have a vhs player that wouldn’t work unless a hard cover book was sitting on top of it. Guess it just liked the pressure.
Or this would make a great gift for Kālī.
I just realized. How do you misspell Panasonic? It’s on the freaking VHS player you’re selling!
Yeah, I’m slow.
Or, CD disc changer. Whatever. Same principle.
That’s never helped the Sparkies before, so I don’t think having the name right in front of them on the item of interest is going to start helping now!
Alla dem dere EE-lec-tronicals are made over in dem Chinese countries and have dem furrin spellins on em. How’m I spose t’ know what dem letters are?
Damn furriners takin’ ma job!
ow.
Every time “furriners” is mentioned here, all I can think of is a factory run by small furry creatures, like squirrels.
How nuts would that be?
I prefer using my pecil.
What?
“Really easy but works every time”
There were girls like that at my school.
And nobody complained of the shape they were in?
Does that mean they were easily available providing they were compensated? (Ugh.)
Phone numbers please
Hotdog down a hallway, anyone?
It’s perfect! Now all he needs are some movies. Unless someone wants to contact Black Cock Down guy?
Why, yes, I’m still going through the archives, why do you ask?
Happy Halloween to all!
Happy Halloween! Phantom of the Opera, you?
An Owl. 8) Will post photo to facebook.
Hmm, this place isn’t looking festive enough yet.
*Sets the Not.a.Lionel cheese head on the souls escaping from hell table, adds a couple of cheddar fangs to Lionel for effect. Smashes a few pumpkins, tp’s the Snark Lounge, soaps all the windows.
There, much better. Um, don’t tell Windrose who did this, okay?
*puts christina on the roster to clean up on Monday*
Glad I didn’t egg the place!
I guess this proves that Panasonic is a hard on to spell correctly.
Or writing with the hard…. eww… never mind.
Perhaps the fact that Sparky doesn’t have room for this unit because of its size explains the Freudian slip in the speeling?
I don’t think it’s the size of his unit that’s the problem.
Teaching 11th grade English has, sadly, made reading things of this nature (i. e., with atrocious spelling and punctuation) easier– I’ve had so much practice lately. I am, however, holding a red pen and attempting to stop myself from writing on my Macbook screen. Sparky, I give you a 43% on your ad; I understand what you’re selling, but you suck at selling it. If you wish to discuss your grade, you may come see me before school.
*has a girl crush on nonsensicalcat for “I am, however, holding a red pen and attempting to stop myself from writing on my Macbook screen” statement*
*throws doors*
red pen = authority
With a little editing for rhythym, this becomes a Salt N Peppa-esq dirtygirl rap:
This thing is pretty nice!
For the price!
It works great eccept you have to hit it!
When the disk goes in, really easy but works every time
160 watts
Load and sounds good bass booster
All that stuff
It’s Penisonic!
Plays cds!
And mp3s!
Lost the controler, but it did have one
Radio and tape decks all work
It’s Penisonic!
Pretty good shape
All and all
Just dont have room for it
intrested?
It’s Penisonic!
I have posted the Round-up for yesterday in the forum . Please read it. Please. Somebody read it. 8) Thanks to LimeLolly for reading it in the comments.
Will that count as extra credit?
I read it! Hilarious, as always. And I do know who Patti LaBelle is, but I admit some confusion between her and Aretha Franklin in respect to their mid-eighties comeback hits.
Aren’t they the same people? Ooops… um, I mean…pbbbttt.
Who keeps calling and hanging up???
Is your refrigerator running?
“Do you have Sir Walter Raleigh in a can?”*
*This joke may be older than anyone here.
My father taught us “Prince Albert in a can.” Yes, older than all of us, excet Grampdaddy, who invented the prank phone call just to get a rise out of his friend, Alex.
Grampdaddy’s the kind of forward-looking fellow who I suspect had to wait for Alex to invent the phone just so he could make that joke in the first place!
Aw nuts, I misspelled the misspelling of except, which is ecceptshunally unaxceptabull.
I was thinking maybe you meant Exocet, but then why would you want to fire a missile at Gramp…
*calls the local bowling alley* “Pardon me, do you have 16 lb balls? …. yes? Wow! You must walk funny!”
[bad kid story] When I was in sixth grade my best friend and I would prank call some poor unfortunate soul named Mr. Mumble on an almost weekly basis. We would ask clearly to speak to Mr. Mumble, then when he got on the phone we would, well, mumble until he hung up.
I’m told that a common April Fool’s Day joke in New York is to call someone and leave a message that they should call Mr. Fish – and leave the phone number of the New York Aquarium.
Another of my favourites was to call the same number a few times a day and ask for “Mike”. And a few times a day I would be informed that no Mike lived there. After about a week, I’d call again and say “This is Mike. Has anyone called for me?”
New Commentator –Tanz Sixfingers is in the Golden Lotus! That’s very nice!
Is anyone else suspicious of Tanz Sixfingers? I’m thinking alter-ego of a commentator we know and love. It’s Halloween. I’m leery of masks and disguises. Correct, please, if wrong. If so, I’ll don the Captain Oblivious outfit.
It’s all speeled correckly, Archie, so I think we might know who it is not … 8)
I was wondering about that too, but aside from what Lola pointed out above, I’m pretty sure TypoMagic’s sock puppets all have avatars. Unless, of course, he typo’d his email address.
I’m feeling particularly slow today because I just saw what you all are talking about! I will put myself in the other corner.
That thought did cross my mind, although the mistyped email is a possibility. Hmmm. Perhaps more sleuthing is needed. *plunks Sherlock Holmes hat on head and settles pipe in mouth* I love costume time!
OT: Lola, I was pleased (but somehow not surprised) to learn that your favorite royal was Eleanor of Aquitaine. She has always been mine. Power and intelligence used in such a masterful way and in a day and age when women were usually nothing more than pawns. I have visited her story more than once during my history educational quest.
Archie, I am constantly in awe of her. Discovered her pretty much on my own in jr. high, at the library (surprise! or not) and have enjoyed learning new things about her ever since.
I discovered her in junior high, too. Went through all the sections on any kind of ancient history I could find. I was the library student assistant and got in early before class so I could choose the music for the day. Simon & Garfunkel was a favorite. Really putting it on the line there, aren’t I?
Not that line. This line over here.
I read it! nice job!
$40 for something you have to hit to get it to work? When I can buy a cd player new for less? No thanks.
P.S. anyone else sad that they are going to stop making Sony Walkmans this year? I like to go on long walks and listen to NPR (because I’m a nerd). After the one I had broke this year I went looking for a new one… very hard to find a portable radio of any brand. iPods have taken over the world.
I can’t vouch for the quality, but I’ve seen portable fm stereos at Dollar Tree.
I did eventually find one at Walmart, a Sony at that. (For me, Walmart is a last-ditch only place to shop)
Another option is the fact that quite a few of the MP3 players have FM radios as well.
Whoa, scary!
Not feeling so great today, and all the good penis jokes have been made. Oh well, maybe I’ll have a chance to snark next weekend.
Just make stuff up. It’s Halloween for criminy’s sake.
Ok, in the spirit of yesterday’s ad, here goes:
a penis would not ,do a good job playing a disk,,unless pencils fit in the. hole i want drinks food shed out back ,i like, bread digging in the ,yard
Ok, that’s all I got. I had to physically restrain myself from using the shift key. It was not easy.
*sending sugar, chocolate and doors your way*
No really, my kiddo got too much candy and I need to get rid of it. Here!
I love Halloween. I wonder if….hopefully…
Dang avatar.
Yay! It’s Isaac!
When you said Isaac, I was expecting the guy with a monk-like avatar who corrects Taco’s spelling…
Me too Silva. I was confused. In fact, I’m still confused.
Errr this is Isaac Clarke, from Dead Space. It’s my Halloween avatar because it’s a survival horror game, and was released on Halloween night two years ago.
I’m confused too, but I do know a video game character named Isaac.
Matsushita-san went to a gret deal of effort that the products his electronic company made for English speakers had sensible, non-vague namess, like Technics adn Panasonic.
He also insisted on having the instruction manuals be in sensible, fluent English, too.
An apochryphal story exists that the translations into French, for Canadian sales, have some hilarious fauxes pas that were allowed to stand.
After Konosuke’s death, the corporation realigned under the Panasonic Corporation banner. Sanyo was added to the line-up last year, the professional electronics line is now Ramsa (which is who makes those cameras your tv station uses, and in beta).
Matsushita triva: When Schwinn production ceased being economical in north Amercia, the company that could make bikes to Schwinn quality standards was the National/Panasonic Bicycle company. Which built some of the best bicycles.
But, then again, Konosuke refused to turn out a substandard product, ever. He was a firm believer in Dr Denning’s assertion that “no one goes to work saying ‘Today, I’m doing a bad day’s work’,” too.
As to Sparky, who cannot spell either Panasonic nor disc, even when emobssed on the item he wants us to buy off him–well, I got nothing. But, it’s been a bad day. It has not getten better with age, and I don’t expect much improvement as it expires into November either.
Egads, my spellink is as bad as my days bben.
I hope your days get better from here!
I sure hope everyone had a fun Halloween! We had a grand total of three trick-or-treaters come to the door. I’m glad I chose to pass out Goldfish and Toblerones as we have enough left to last several weeks.
Goldfish and Toblerones??? No wonder you only had 3 trick-or-treaters. Those were the advance scouts. T-r-T’ers all use them now. They find the houses and/or neighborhoods that have “The Good Stuff” and word get’s around. Anyone with apples or any semi-healthy non-sugar-laden “food stuffs” gets geotagged* and the hordes avoid them. Word gets around sistah… You’re lucky you didn’t get egged or TP’d.
Of course… the night’s not over yet is it… 😉
*This may or may not be true.
Hey! Goldfish and Toblerones are the good stuff! I always try to have a decent sugar-free option and I knew there wouldn’t be a lot of kids, there aren’t many in my neighborhood to begin with and we have a Six Flags and about elebenty malls and parks that do events. Not to mention the rich neighborhoods on the other side of town that were probably giving out ponies and caviar.
Don’t get me wrong, I think they are the good stuff too, but we’re not between the ages of 7 and 16 anymore…
So what your saying is, it’s a good thing I didn’t opt for the 86% cocoa Giradellhi squares?
You know, I tried some expensive really high percentage dark chocolate once, just to see what the hullaballoo was about. Not to my taste. that’s for sure. Might as well buy baker’s chocolate.
But yeah, if you had bought expensive yummy stuff (or ponies and caviar), you might be looking at the empty candy (or pony) bowl…
Hmmm…What kind of bowl would you put your ponies in anyway?
I had 4 Trick or treaters this year, all of which I had to wave over. We gave out assorted “Tootsie” products and small bags of Snyders pretzels. Needless to say, I have a redonkulous amount of both left.
*walks off mumbling something about dang scouts…*
A keg.
No more kids at the door to stuff with sugar.
So, Tanz Sixfingers, if that’s your real name, Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Morningside Heights!
There’s a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There’s a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.
It’s over for another year. Night all………
Good morning, all. Here in the mid-Atlantic, the weather has finally changed, and I’m not happy about it. I had to sit in my car running the defroster for 5 minutes before I could see out of it to drive. The only thing I’m looking forward to with the time change is not getting out of bed before dawn, at least for a few weeks.
Have a nice, and warm, day.
I’m sure posting to such an old thread isn’t proper but here goes anyways.
According to the CL poster ” it works great eccept you have to hit it when the disk goes in” and if you buy it I can tell you where to hit it. Please note the bottom left picture. It says MASH. I assume you mash it there to make the disc go in. Unless it mashes potatoes for you, in which case I’m buying it.
