Exactly what it says on the tin.
Not.A.Lion!
Want a Not.A.Lion t-shirt AND a Llama-nun's Prayer mug? How about a Cat Math mousepad? Of course you do!
All are now available as t-shirts and other things! (The llamanun mugs contain the YSaC group prayer on the back.)

I thought this joke smelt, but this guy really knew how to drop the bass. And it flopped around everywhere…
Sparkums?
Spekers.
Fish.
Spekers….have not mastered ‘get-to-the-pointillism’.
Man, I was gonna read YSaC today, but my spekers broke last night and I can’t see anything without them. Wonder if I could find a new pair for less than $200 anywhere?
Spekers?
Spackle?
Sneakers?
Peckers?

Close your tags! This is a family website!*
*May no longer be true.
Oh dear! *tries to tie the tag shut*
Windy…. *offers birdseed* Pwease?
Izzat how you wanted it, Lyle? I can do more. I can correct posts all day long. Okay, not while at work, and not while sleeping. *checks bird seed* Mmm, the premium stuff!
*was never true…
Okay, that was supposed to go up there under Taco’s comment.
Sigh…
Would you like to buy an O? It’ll cost you a nickel.
LL, it’s illegal to sell those here.
Shhhhh!!!! Don’t spread it around, everyone will want one!
Os are hard ons to come by.
Was it red? Hester somebody put up an ad for one.

Given the rising price of advertising on Craigslist these days, I think we can expect to see a lot more of these cost-effective posts. I mean, did you see how much they wanted for that “a”?
I hear uncut vowels go for big bucks on the streets, but just try to unload a q or a z. You can’t give those things away.
The Q and Z are worth 10 points each, are you kidding me? Get that on a triple word score and you are golden!
Okay, my addiction to WWF is showing.
Just moved into the 21st Century with an upgraded cell phone and have discovered WWF. Love it!
Someone keeps thoroughly decimating me, but I love the bloody game.
If Sparky was concerned about the price of a’s, he could have bought two e’s and spelled it “speeker”, which would have been better. And made sense. But that would have required thinking. Yeah, um, nevermind.
Sounded better in your head, did it?
I bet Sparky is a real
whizwiz at Hangman.A guy tries to sell some Speckers and you jump all over him. Jeeze.
Just because
Ihe had a hard time figuring out how to use the keyboard, that’s no reason to make fun ofmehim.Clearly, Sparky owns a cave, where he traps random explorers and sells them into slavery. In case anyone was wondering, too, he’s helpful enough to point out that this is a “new” batch, not the same ones he sold last time.
I just can’t figure out how a) CL allowed a human-trafficking post, and b) Sparky dropped the “lunk.”
Meej, that makes sense because these spe(lunk)ers are new, inexperienced explorers, and easily fall into his pit covered in vines.
You’ve got to fly below the radar. And you’ve got to keep up with the evolution of euphemisms, blow for blow.
Slash, based on your comment yesterday about YSaC fanfic, I’m guessing you didn’t meet Captain Destructo. I don’t remember which post was his first appearance, but you can read his complete story on my blog. My name is linked to a short fiction blog where I have some YSaC- inspired stories and some other stories. Captain Destructo is here. Mindfield, who seems to have taken a walkabout, and a couple others sometimes post YSaC-inspired stories, too.
No, Yancy, I did not meet Captain Destructo. I went out for cigarettes and it took me a few months to find my way back here. I’ll check that out shortly, though. 🙂
Yancy…I had forgotten you were a technical writer. What an *exciting* job, right?
My day job consists of a good deal of procedural writing.
Blech.
I also freelance for Demand Media. It pays okay, but it’s very confining.
If I didn’t come here or write on my blog I’d essplody…every.day.
Procedural writing – as in user manuals? That’s what most of my job describes. Writing user manuals that most users won’t read for software that only a small subset of the military needs. When I tell people what I do, mostly they look at me with an expression of interest. Then I say “it sounds more interesting than it is.” Their expression always turns to empathy or disinterest. I’d love to be a copy editor for a publishing house. Any time I read a novel and come across the slightest typo, my skin crawls just a little.
Well, Demand Media is always looking for good CEs…you should give it a try.
Procedures as in how to run a power plant without destroying someone/thing.
There’s operations procedures and chemistry procedures and there’s even a procedure on writing procedures.
It’s hell, with fluorescent lighting, some days. Other days it’s really quiet…like today.
C…, thanks for the tip. I currently keep very busy with responsibilities for my job, family and church responsibilities, and friends. If my schedule opens up soon I’ll definitely pursue something with them.
ME TOO!!!!!!!! I’m so glad I’m not alone.
Does Sparky need a Big A? Cause I’ve got one he can have.
But not the Big O?
Gimme a D! Gimme a U! Gimme an M, B, A, S, S!
What does that spell?!
Sparky? Hello? What does that spell?
Dayum, son! You ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, are ye?
Sparky’s definitely missing a few sprinkles on his cupcake.
The lights are on, but no one’s home.
Sparky is a few fries short of a happy meal.
Sharper than a bowling ball!
Sparky’s a few peppers short of a kebab.
A couple posies short of a nosegay.
The elevator doesn’t go to the top floor.
But it does go to the corner.
His screen door’s not latched, bless his heart.
I believe this ad included fine print which read, “This listing brought to you by Shatner.”
This will go awesome with my peaskers set!
Brevity is the soul of wit. Extreme brevity is not.
Xtreme brevty is too
Prove it.
Lola, I think you meant; Xtrem brev is 2.
@D/DM:
1. Brevity=Soul of Wit, Extreme Brevity≠Soul of Wit; Given.
2. Equals=Does Not Equal; CatMath Inequivalency BS Theorem
3. ∴ Xtreme Brevty=Too; Herpaderpaluffacus

Moooom, Lola’s doing X agaiiin
Damn it. I thought I was helping by hiding the flask from her, but this is much, much worse.
*takes a swig*
Oh, that’s nice. What’s in here, Lola?
Whatever you need it to be, Slash. 8)
Well, I sure thought it tasted like Cognac and Mountain Dew, but I couldn’t figure out why my drink of choice would be in your flask.
kelli, you’re looking very ainebegonia today. 8)
It’s the only way I could post.
 
The box has gone to the dogs this week, but I think we all agree that camille earned this. I had the work crew put in a sky light and a new sound system.
Oh, camille gets the new and improved box.
*Grumbles.*
Congrats, camille.
With new spekers?
As my first act in the renovated box, I think I’m gonna let Hammy out. Poor boy needs a walk.
Why did you do that, camille?
You don’t understand.
He never sleeps.
*wags*
Oh. Hey… Hammy.
Nice to… have you back…
*shivers*
Maybe Sparky needs to watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adZg1kbcTIQ

[matte]I’m outraged that CL allows such flagrant trafficking in that most precious of dog breeds, the spaniel-pekinese!
They are so precious they defy photography more than min-pins, and collect stray A’s off the street.
The horror the horror!
[/matte]
I wonder if a spaniel-pekinese cross could be called a “speakeasy.”
As a Tibetan spaniel who (according to the dog book) has some relation to the Pekinese, my avatar resembles these remarks. (She is, however, happy that you’ve noticed that she’s precious.)
This was obviously posted by Calvin Coolidge or a Spartan.
Just testing.
EDIT – okay, I can be kelli on the netbook but not on the phone.
Hooray!
Edit: Oh, lamesicle.
Testing again

And it is mysteriously fixed
Sometimes, Craigslist really makes you think. Like… what would the world be like if famous authors had taken Sparky’s approach?
Roemo?
Is that the 4th, somewhat fishy, stooge?
Less fishy, more eggy, but yeah, basically.

I have lots of spekers, but I could use a better subwofer.
