And now, the Living Room Aria, by Giuseppe Tortellini:
“My dear Sparkies, this is a list
Of the features my camper possesses,
A list which I have compiled,
Follow along with me.
Of compartments, it has 3,
Of bathrooms, it has 2,
Of spell-check, it has 0.
Among these features are a coffee maker,
A microwave, and a whit pump,
for pumping all of your whits.
Features of every type,
Every shape, and every age.
(As long as that age is 18 years.)
In the summer, the AC works good.
In the winter, the furn-as works good.
I call one propane tank full,
I call one propane tank em tie.
If you want to buy it,
You know what to do.”
(With apologies to Mr. Leporello.)
Thanks for the link, Greg!
I enjoy classical music, but it always puts me to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
dan, you da man
:packs up her snark-filled box and heads off the playground:
With the possible exception of furn-as (which could be Sparky’s k.d. lang tribute band, hence the lack of capitalization), I couldn’t find a single misspelled word. Misused words? Oh, there’s plenty. But I think Sparky’s spell-check works just fine.
*quietly points to em tie*
[corey] em and tie are both actual words[/corey]
*Considers deleting penguin’s post. Thinks better of it*
I was going to point that out. The spell check works, it is Sparky’s brain that does not.
Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
3 compartments
And the A/C works good
Your propane’s doable
And your owning’s good lookin’
So hush little furn-as
Don’t you fry
One of these mornings
You’re going 2 bathroom
Then you’ll pump your whit
And you’ll take to the road
But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With a new spare tire in your load.
I want to know about the “owning”. Does that mean it’s haunted by Rebecca?
Sparky didn’t write an aria; Sparky wrote a Beat poem. Then again, there could have been an opera version, possibly starring Klaus Nomi.
I hear 1993 was a good year for bumper pulls. A 28-footer no less.
Yeah, there was a bumper crop that year.
Ooh, pretty gay fish!
How can you tell that fish is gay just by looking at it? 8)
Well, it’s purple, and purple = gay. I thought we settled that like 15 years ago.
I thought that pooped-on rock color and humans of same gender naked-attraction were the clues. I’m so confused.
I’m just showing my support for gay fish everywhere. Hey, I’ve found a cause & I will stick with it. Poor Mike….*sniff*
Fish sticks? Kanye?
oops, just read yesterday’s post, NOW I get the refrence.
“doable tanks of propane up front”
In my head, this is a conversation between two drunk dudes, leaned up against a bar, 30 minutes before closing time, checking out the females that are left in the club. But then, I’m a perv and my brain just naturally bends that direction.
Oh lordy…yes, 2 propane tanks right up front. Very do-able. And my vintage bumper pull makes it a complete package.
Hey, baby – has anyone ever told you that you are as hot as a pair of metal tanks filled with highly flammable gases?
Well, the explosive gas is true. That does not qualify me as hot, however.
They just need a little Cozy Fan Toot.
penguin would have made it into the box today if not for my just made up rule about not allowing it two days in a row. Monica and Lola, keep the curtains drawn in there if you don’t want it to show up on YouTube. I’m looking at you, D! 8)
You just got your feathers ruffled because I went all Corey on you. jk
ETA: I appreciate being considered but definitely think Monica and Lola should have the box all to themselves.
8) Nothing personal, pengie. If we can’t corey each other, who can we corey?
Hmmm, I’ll just snark every other day from now on. 😀
No, you can only take off the days after you are in the box. Now sit!
*wags*

Included in this performance, along with the living room aria are the shower solo, the rest stop recitatives, and, the audience favorite, the fold-out bed overture.
You forgot the Motorzart carcerto for Snarksichord in em minor.
You all so forgot the doable ex machina.
Cindy – I throw many doors at you. I cannot like this enough.
Doors? I guess I don’t hang out in this cantina enough to know if this is good or bad (though Doable Ex Machina would be a great Doors cover band). But thanks! 🙂
Like = Adores = Doors
You’re okay until they start flinging them with a trebuchet.
Rest Stop Recitative is the name of my Lyle Lovett and His Large Band cover band.
I only have one cat. Where am I supposed to find two more masters?
CL. But they’re not calling it “adult services” these days. You’ll have to get more creative.
Camper of unusual size? I don’t think it exists.
Does it yell, EVERYBODY MOVE! when you press the horn?
OT/ In a funny twist of life imitating YSaC, I saw a Geico commercial last night where the gecko was…. Line Dancing. I thought it was hilarious. /OT.
But did he do the Dougie? (I saw that one too… Don’t like Geico, love their commercials)
On Craigslist did Sparky
A camper twenty-eight feet decree:
Where an aria, in the living room, sung
Three compartments, a 1993 bumper pull hung
Over a doable tank that was em tie.
So twice baths and three rooms for sleep
A coffee maker, microwave and stove you can keep
And there were tires two with one spare;
In addition was a water holding tank whit pump,
A furn as works good and cool air.
Call ###-###-#### if you want this dump.
Penguin, I am glad you are back. Please comment more whenever possible.
Thanks. I had no choice but to come back here. The liquor store wouldn’t trade for my vintage cereal boxes and actually called the police when I tried to earn some whiskey money by putting up a sign offering mine hors rides.
> 28 ft camper bumper pull year 1993
So many possibilities with a little punctuation. i choose to start with a bumper that is 28 feet. Now, is that long or wide or both? Next, when i pull year 1993 i get: Bill Clinton became president, the World Trade Center is bombed, Branch Davidian is raided by the ATF, we hear about Lorena Bobbitt for the first time, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” starts, Taylor Momsen is born, and, Andre the Giant dies. um, why am i doing this?
> 3 compartments, 1 living room aria
> 2 bathroom in the middle and last
> 3 master bedroom in rear
my counting skills need updating
> furn-as works good
Typo – missing an “s”. i should know – one of my fetishes.
> doable tanks of propane up front
Yep, another fetish.
> it all so has an owning
Y’all aren’t ready to hear about that fetish.
Subbie, please feel welcome to trade your quilt square for a Gravatar and continue commenting.
Keep commenting like that and we’ll make sure you get sent to the corner, just like the rest of us.
Thanks!
That sparky has one furn-ass! yep
Oh yeah baby! Those tanks (of propane) up front are so doable!
I think I saw something about that in the King of the Hill slash fiction I
went looking forwas tied to a chair by Mike Judge’s evil twin and forced to read aloud.Is that the one where he goes around town pimpin’ out Sweet Lady Propane?
I think that one is on my list, right under the Snoopy/Woodstock slashfic.
Every so often some of my online friends like to torture me by brining up a “sexy” picture of Hank Hill lounging on a couch nude *shudder* Oh Rule 34, I often loathe you…
[corey]It being after four here in CST, and thus, will only be read by our international corespondents and people from the future, a “translation” of the presumed product Spark’ wants to flog:
28 foot long camping trailer made by Sunnybrook in 1993.
It is a “bumper pull” (this differentiates from goose-neck and fifth-wheel trailers)
This trailer has three compartments, the first is a living area; the second having a bathroom, and the last is a dedicated bedroom area (the living area probably has fold-down or adjustable seating for additional bedding).
The a/c unit is in good repair, the (fixed to the trailer) furniture is in “as is” condition (charitably, we could infer no undue user modifications); and operates as designed.
The fresh water tank has a pump (presumably electric, which is less work than hand-pumped)
The sale includes the coffee maker, microwave, and stove.
All tires are new, including the spare.
Mounts double propane tanks (size not noted) on the front of the trailer. Two propane tanks are included in the sale, one filled, the other not.
The trailer has a swing-out awning as well.
All of which are important data for a prospective trailer purchaser.
Omitted are important items like whether an electrical generator is included. Also omitted is the size of the propane tanks (real important).
Further, there is no mention of refrigeration (another important item).
Lastly, not one word spared for whether this accommodation has a current State Inspection (this can be very important).
Now, another worry I’d have is that a 28′ trailer ought to be a two-axle trailer, which means we only know that two of the putative four tires are new.
As a former (boat) trailer operator, I’d have some pointy questions about when was the last time the trailer wheel hubs were last pulled and greased. And, of how many miles were on the current set of bearings in those wheel hubs. I’d ask some pointy questions about the trailer braking system, too–since trailer of that size generally must have some sort of brakes (even if–shudder–only inertial ones). There is no mention of what class hitch the towing vehicle needs, either.
And, that’s my aria upon that.
[/corey]
Master bedroom in the rear? Or master your rear in the bedroom?
The YSaC convention will also have to include a sing-along session.
I’m so excited!
Well, I’m glad to see the stove has two new tires. I hate it when I have to get spares.
Monica and Lola, I can’t wait for your memoirs regarding your day together in the box, talking about gay purple fish and campers of unusual size. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Sunnybrook!
