YSaC, Vol. 1121: 15 Gallon Lizard is the name of my Billy Ray Cyrus cover band.

pet acarium – $25
i have and 15 gallin sqaure tank, i used for my lizerd i had but it can be used for fish or what ever you want to put in it i have sand and other lizerd stuff to go with it if intrsted call xxx xxx xxxx name is trent thank you
It’s a choose your own snark day:
(a) I’ve always wanted a pet aquarium! I promise I’ll take it for walks, and feed it, and clean up after it! Please, mom? Pleeeeaaase?
(b) Finally! I can use this square tank to house my pet footballs and mini basketballs! It’s okay that it doesn’t have a lid — the mini basketballs can’t jump very high.
I had no ideas that lizards were so athletic. Sure, I knew they played some football, but who knew they played basketball? Is it considered traveling if they climb up the pole to the basket?
As long as they take no more than three steps I’m sure it’s all good. And the bigger ones could probably do that, so we have a certain possibility here.
For myself, I wanted to buy it for the neighbors child, as it clearly states “hat ever you want to put in it”, but my daughter is telling me he won’t fit. Clearly this is false advertising. Or possibly caveat emptor.
Either way seems I’ll be passing on this jewel.
I have an acarinarium, i used for my mites i had but it can be used for extremely small fish or what ever you want to put in it
Poor, poor Sparky. It must be difficult going through life knowing your pets spell better than you do.
Don’t tell old Spark
I’m gonna start my snark
Cause he just don’t seem to understand
That if you just can’t spell
You won’t sell stuff that well
And you’ll have to keep your lizerd stuff and sand.
Wooooooo Hooooo!!
*and finish it off with a good ol’ rebel yell*
The devil you say………
PS: And I’ll join you, FM, in a shot of Rebel Yell.
Dear Trent Thank You, mind if I call you Sparky? I wish to know what happened to your lizard? Did it get too big for the tank? Did it climb out, run away, and start impersonating a famous TV star lizard? Or did the NBA or NFL call with a lucrative contract, and while the lizard hated to leave you behind, they promised him all the flies he could eat? Please respond A.S.A.P.
But I don’t want to call the “acarium” Trent – could I call it Sweet Mama Sassafras instead?
Lizerd, Liza Minnelli and Bill Gates love child.
Acarium is a size that comes after medium and before XXXXXXXXXXL.
Acarium? Isn’t that where Scorpio is from, before hiding in Crieghton’s brain in Farscape?
When the lizerd is in Sparky’s house
And basketballs align with sand
Then Trent will post a Craigslist ad
That no one can understand.
This is the dawning of the Ad for Acariums
The Ad for Acariums
Acariums! Acariums!
Aww, I was thinking of something like that.
I’m sure yours would have been funnier. I really just wanted to get to the “Acariums! Acariums!” part.
Acariums are portable habitats for small animals. Ah Carry Ums. 8) Patent pending. All rights reserved. Hey, you, get off of my cloud!
I don’t know, I’m not so good at these. I had only gotten as far as “Age of Acarium” when I saw yours, which is great.
Y’all don’t understand, this is a fine example of two little-known species of “lizerd”.
The pigskinacarius and the rubberbladderichthyanomous.
Rarely seen outside their native habitats – sports bars and the occasional carny, and not known to be compatible, these fine examples are a steal at $25; especially given the fact that you also get an “acarium” to house them in.
I don’t know about you, but I’m calling Sparky right now!
I’m disappointed. That is NOT a SQAURE tank! It’s a RECTUMTINGLE tank!!!
*wags*
*derp*
😀
Wow. If I just change my avatar back, I could have a new home.
:licks eyeballs:
Squee! Although your current avvie is cute, I do miss the wee gecko.
I almost changed it back yesterday. That would have been very deja vuey if I had.
Is that pork or chicken deja vuey, and does it come with eggrolls or Crab Rangoon?
Trent – you are in need of a more effective sales pitch. Let Florrie help:
You can sit in your armchair, by day or by night,
And feast your eyes on A wondrous sight,
The beauty of nature, in A world of it’s own,
Best thing to relax you, that I’ve ever known,
A collection of fish in an aquarium I see,
All colors, all kinds, swimming silent and free,
Your own living picture, A sight to behold,
Something that fascinates both young and old,
In crystal clear water, they swim all around,
A moving picture, that makes no sound,
A background of rocks, green plants, and bright light,
I do think the aquarium is A wonderful sight.

Why does Florrie insist on capitalizing “A” in the middle of sentences?
An interesting point, camille. She seems to have a problem with her apostrophe usage too. Here Florrie:
An apostrophe is the difference between a business that knows its shit and a business that knows it’s shit.
But I do like her poetry………
15 towns in Germany for $25 is a damn good deal. Can I have that phone #?
Trent has other “lizerd stuff”? We don’t want “lizerd stuff”. Cats, dogs and birds have left me plenty of their “stuff”.
On the other hand, I could go for some stuffed lizerd. My idea of a Thanksgiving treat extraordinaire!
It’s really quiet in here today! Everyone must be out hunting lizerds instead of commenting here.
Speaking of “lizerds” I wonder what happened to the previous occupant of the “acarium.” Not that I’m blaming Sparky, of course. I once made the mistake of leaving my pet iguanas in the care of someone I thought was a friend while I was out of town for a couple of weeks. She sold the big one to the pet shop the same day I left so she could buy cigarettes, and the little hatchling was a sad, dried out twig hanging from the screen top when I got back.
That’s so sad!!!
“I wish I was caught in a blizzard,
Eating Sparky-cued sand lizerd…”
I would think that would be kind of gritty.
I’d see requests on the Craigs list
They’re in a language far from English.
In a small, rural town near here where I often spend Saturday middays looking at fountain pens, there’s a business called Sparky’s Transmissions. I keep thinking that’s another name for Craigslist. 8)
Reptile dysfunction.
Hammy! Here, Hammy! There’s a good puppy. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good morning, Kelsey Grammer, Dave Kelly, and Jake Wood!
Why yes, Mr. You! I am intrsted.
I would very much like to buy your acarium. You see, I have a 15 gallin square lizerd that has been stuffed in an old 10 gallin dodecagon tank. While your tank does not appear to be strictly square, but rather rectangular or cuboid, I’m sure my lizerd will enjoy the additional dimension, having for so long been confined to just the two.
I have to say I’m excited to find a decent acarium at this price. Usually, two dimensional pet habitats are much more expensive, but I’ve kept lizerds, paraketz, and other 2D animals enough to know their value.
