Seldom used Volley balls
Free balls all for your sporting needs, Email me for more details. Thanks
“I got it! I got it! …wait… I don’t want it! You get it!”
“I got it last time!”
“It’s not my turn!”
*crunch*
“So, the score is still 0-0, and we’ve been playing for an hour.”
Thanks for the link, Mackenzie!
I think I’ll just head straight to the corner now ….. free balls for all my sporting needs? the answer to a maiden’s prayer!
Hey – what happened to my avatar?
It’s back now … guess it was a bit chilly and needed the quilt. 8)
It was lion down for a bit.
I cannot begin to imagine why.
For being seldom used they sure look scuffed up. Maybe Sparky should spend more time polishing his balls, or at least give them a good waxing so they look nice.
Mmm, nice smooth balls …
Wait, I typed that out loud?
*corner*
I’ve been looking for some balls to go with my
rooster…never mind.It seems we’ve all forgotten what a “volley” ball is actually for.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volley
These would be perfect.
“Origin:
1565–75; < Middle French volee flight, noun use of feminine past participle of voler to fly < Latin volāre" So what we have here are a bunch of flying balls. I had a nightmare like that once.
One person’s nightmare = another person’s daydream
Why so LARGE, Lola?
Holy crap! Now, I’m large, too!
Wouldn’t have anything to do with ball condition, would it?
Why are y’all screaming? Ahhhhh!
PS: I know what it is. All this ball talk is making our fonts swell.
I didn’t do it, whatever it was, CJ! Not my fault that all of this talk about balls is making things bigger.
I’m replying just so I can see my big font!
I like big fonts and I cannot lie
🙂
Edited: well, that didn’t work. I tried to make even bigger font but it didn’t happen. Instead I get a “stack overflow” dialogue box.
I’M TOO STACKED FOR THIS COMMENT!
*corner*
*Hide my face
infrom this comment*Bad puppy!
I don’t know about y’all, but my balls… or…. ummm… fonts are always big. Or at least that’s what I tell people.
I think someone forgot to close their brackets. What will the neighbors think?
She’s got huuuge… trackings of fonts.
“Close your brackets, man. There are women and children present.” 8)
You know what they say about girls with big fonts. Just sayin’.
They’re BOLD?
I cannot figure out why this is happening.
I have no idea what I did, aside from hit “reply.”
Hmmm, will this fix it?
Nope…
How about this?
No…hmmm
well that is just great — between the post topic and the large fonts I have AC/DC’s “Big Balls” stuck in my head
Looking at Windy’s post, it appears she tried to use inequalities as part of a copied text. I would look at her post and see if they accidentally triggered an HTML rule.
Whatever it is has also added grey little stars next to everyone’s avatar, so it may be something that was designed to highlight a response… but it’s gone rouge!
I like the little grey stars! And they’re grey, not rouge. 😉
I hate it when shit goes rouge. It makes everything look cheap and easy.
Watch out for Ajax today, people. I tried to put in a snarky comment to show that “rouge” was on porpoise, but my computer went to 100% CPU usage and then my browser crashed on both attempts. So I’ll put it here:
(Not just any HTML mistake can pull off that gaudy color, either).
And what about “porpoise”? Are we aquatic mammals now? I know they’re said to have big pecils, but what about balls? Or fonts??
Porpoise was also intentional, yes.
I’m thinking [Taco] tags may be necessary for when I do things on porpoise.
I dolphinitely think that none of it was on porpoise.
I have no fish to continue this stringer of thought. I’ve haddock enough of this; I’ve never bream so insulted.
Don’t think you can just skate away from providing answers by floundering in a sea of fishy tales. Carpe diem! Holy Mackeral! Spongebob Squarepants has risen!
It’s going to turn out to be all my fault, isn’t it? I’ll never copy and paste from that site again.
I like that blue ball in the middle.
If Sparkys play volleyball with bowling balls, do they play football with badminton birdies? Soccer with softballs?
If my crazy Siamese plays fetch with wadded up balls of paper, does that mean she’s a Sparky? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
That’s probably more of a cat thing than a Sparky thing. My cat Fearless eats cardboard. She doesn’t play with it, she just eats it.
My old Lucy cat eats flowers. If I bring any in the house I have to put them up high. She’s a nibbler. We think Sally the Siamese is just, well, “developmentally challenged”. She attacks the other two cats, they whip her ass, she shakes it off and comes back for more.
My Possum kitty eats my hair when it’s wet. She’s all sorts of special.
Firefly will lay on the back of Mom’s recliner and sniff or lick the top of her head. It’s kinda cute in a serial-killer sort of way.
River is a cardboard eater as well, and my boy Sherman used to be a crumpled up paper chaser. I could reliably distract him from what he was doing simply by crinkling a sticky note.
When Rani was a kitten, 18 years ago, and computer paper came with all the pages connected to each other, she loved to get in the paper box and shred away. Mike would always be surprised when he was printing something and only got a portion of the third page.
Rani also loved to chase cough drops or star mints around on top of the bed. She would pick up the item by one end of the wrapping, and throw it, then chase it, capture it, hold and kick, then start over. Hours of fun. But only if I was there to watch.
Mine adores plastic shopping bags. Even if they don’t smell of food, they must be padded on to create attractive crinkling noises.
Every cat I’ve ever owned loves chewing on plastic grocery bags. Drives me crazy. Zeus also especially likes the hard plastic that crinkles really loud (i.e the plastic over microwave popcorn packs). Must be a plastic deficiency in their diets. Should start feeding them one Billy Bass once a week.
Fearless can’t (or won’t) make the distiction between what is a toy and what is food. Simon loves to play with the pull rings off of milk jugs, but I can’t give him any because Fearless will steal them and eat them. She won’t play with them, she justs methodically knaws little pieces off and eats them.
For some reason the plastic rings from the milk jugs always end up under the fridge. They’re like salmon going home to spawn.
When we went to the fair a few weeks ago, we got a Hawaiian Tiki smoothy at one of the concession places. The lady put a blue tiki umbrella in it, one of those paper ones. Lyle Jr loved it to the point that we had to take it home with us. When it got here, it became the instant obsession of our other cat, George. She’d chase that stupid little umbrella all over the house. I eventually got a hold of it and threw it away after she had shredded the paper into little strips.
For all my “sporting” needs? Really, Sparky? I can’t really see myself playing horseshoes with these things.
Bowling Ball Horseshoes is the name of my Mannheim Steamroller cover band.
You sell my Nerf and I turn off my brain
Too many balls drives Sparky insane
They broke my grill, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious ALL BALLS ARE FREE!
I thought you were going to make that last line:
Goodness, gracious PUDDING ON FIRE!!!
The rest of the day will be a disappointment now. *sigh*
Happy Monday, Mudsy. 8)
I need a Hammy dog pic posting. And I need it NOW!!!
*Lifts leg on post*
Oh, you said pic…
But I like pie.
You know… the original line was ALL BALLS ON FIRE but I changed it last minute for some reason. I blame getting up after 3 hours of sleep to attend a 4-hour meeting that mostly did not pertain to my department.
Well, at least the ad wasn’t for a boweling ball.
What, you don’t like seeing ads for the GI department’s annual dinner and dance? What’s your problem with specialists?
Well, ever since I took second in the endoscope look-alike contest I’ve just been singling them out for abuse.
They always hold that event in the sub-basement of the conference center and I can never find it in that maze of hallways.
The emergency EXIT door has a tendency to stick.
Yeah, but when it finally does open everyone rushes out.
That’s down in Hallway D.
This post needs an enema!
no…a coffee slice colonic.
Special Today at House o’ Balls! All Volley Balls Are Free! That’s Right, Free! Take one, take them all! HOB Corporation is not responsible for any broken bones, sprains, or brain damage due to contact with balls.
If you’re getting those sorts of injuries from contact with balls, you’re doing it
rightwrong.Oh hell..why fight it?
Balls, balls, gitcher balls here!
Blue balls? Got ’em!
Seldom used? I believe there’s quite a few products on the market to help in that department.
“Volley” balls? So, that’s what the kids are calling it these days, eh?
I can’t help but feel sorry for Sparky and his ‘seldom used balls’.
:snerk:
Okay, I’m done feeling sorry. (Sorry is that yellow one right there)
QUILT!
I know… friggin’ fat-fingered my email… again. You’d think it would be more grateful.
Heh. “Fat fingered”. Heh heh.
Addicted Reader is in the box today. 8) I think Lyle left some fanfic in there for you to read.
Whoo hoo, I’m one of the cool kids now!!!
It’s an Lyle-Original, AR. Good luck.
Let’s see…A regulation volleyball weighs about 22 ounces.
If those are 11 pound bowling balls they would weigh about 23.5 ounces on Europa.
These are obviously for the 42nd interplanetary summer Olympics.
(-260 degree beach volleyball, nippley!)
Anything’s better than last year. Last year we showed up to play volleyball and they just gave us these loincloths, and…
*shudders*
Let’s just hope there are no monkeys on Europa. That’s all I’m sayin’.
There are only bulls on Europa.
*silly puppy*
MonkeyBinchRoosterBall pleaseYep. There it is again, and it’s just Monday. MORE MONKEY HATING!!!!
I love Monkey, especially with a nice curry sauce.
Hammy, did you say [coreysauce]?
No, no I did not.
*strolls into snark lounge, looks at post, laughs hysterically and walks straight to corner*
Happy Monday! I’ll just be over here humming AC/DC.
I’m a rolling thunder when sent at pins
I’m coming on like a shooting pain
My serve is flashing across the sky
You’re underneath you’re gonna die
It won’t take no digs won’t spare no sets
Nobody’s putting up a spike
I got my balls I’m gonna break you to hell
I’m gonna get you Kiraly get you
Hell’s balls
Yeah hell’s balls
You got me spikin’ hell’s balls
My high pitched cry, hell’s balls
I think that was more like BC/AD.
Before Craigslist/ After Dumbass?
Yes….I think the dividing timeline is when bejeebus was hung on a clothesline.
As a person living in a balls free environment, I, well that is, what I am trying to say is that in my opinion, actually I just wanted to say balls free.
Laundry day for you too, huh?
Every day is laundry day for me, if you know what I mean. *wink wink*
I do know what you mean, you damned dirty ape.
To the corner with both of you!
Oooh, lookit the pretty colors!
::crunch::
Ow.
You forgot your essential volleyball safety gear.
AAAArgh! I let a whole half a day go by before I realized that today’s the day we talk like a pirate.
Parlay and walk the plank deck swabbers!!!!
Avast! Me mess mates dropped the sail on that one! I’ve been pillagin’ all day without so much as a yo-ho-ho! Shiver me timbers, but I be in a foul mood now, as foul as the waves tha’ roll up from Davey Jones’ locker. Yar…
Want some candy little girl…?
Oh, you said pirate.
Yeah, silly.
You should have said, “Avast! Girly want some candy? Aaargh.”
Arrr Binch, get ye to my balls of volley.
Warez! Romz! DVD rips! MP3z!!!
What? What do you mean, “Not that kind of pirate?”
No, Torrentz…not that kind of pirate. 🙂
Arrrrrgh! Uh…
The Edmund Fitzgerald! Poop deck!
That’s all I got.
The Edmund Fitzgerald? I think that was more like talking like a Canadian….
8)
Wasn’t that the song that Gordon Lightfoot did? ‘Bout some shipwreck?
*Googles*
Yeah. It was. I’m old, that’s what popped in my head.
Um, yeah, arrrrrrgh!
Well, if you’re looking for some free pirate-themed music, look no further.
Truer than you thought it would be.
*File Not Found*
Do not pass go….do not collect $200.
Better now? WordPress was not as smart as I had thought it would be.
Ooh! It’s Paul and Storm. Much better.
🙂
Arrgh! Shiver me planks and swab the poop deck!
(o/t)
I have this week off from work, we’re painting the master bedroom. Two discoveries:
1: After moving furniture in prep for painting I’ve found at least 20 catnip mice. THAT’S where they’ve been disappearing: Behind bureaus and under the bed.
2: I took everything off the walls and propped them up in the hallway and other rooms, etc. I have propped a mirror up in the perfect spot so as to watch myself, um, “sit on the throne”. Loverly.
Oh noes! You disturbed the Holy Catnip Collection of Antioch! We will all perish for this catastrophy!
“cat-astrophy”
Yup.
:hangs the taxidermied posterior of a domestic feline on the Snark Lounge wall:
Now we have our very own Cat Ass Trophy!
If you had two you would need a cat-astrophy “S” on the end.
“Origin:
1565–75; < Middle French volee flight, noun use of feminine past participle of voler to fly < Latin volāre"
So what we have here are a bunch of flying balls. I had a nightmare like that once.
If I paste this down here is my font huge?
This is a test…
Hmmm.
*pitch pipe*
..this is ONLY a test…
(this refuses to embed up there ^. You broke the internet.)
YAY!
Job security 😀

Aargh and Avast!

Sure – 10 lbs is regulation for volleyball, right?
New avvie… I’m sure that was no accident… 8)
We’re
stalkersobservant here at YSaC!Pangaea? I hardly know ya!
Well, that was an odd place to add this comment…
AR, I must be going through a phase where I fall asleep before punching out. Anyway, Punchity Punch Punch! Thanks for being such a loyal YSaC commenter.
Good Morning, Bowling Green!
