YSaC, Vol. 1234: It’s the weal thing.

2012 April 19

gardening thing – $25


both for 25 dollars

So which gardening thing am I offering $25 for both of? Because that’s a positive steal compared to this:

 

weal beryl – $45


call shawn at xxx)xxxxxxx make an offer

 

Just when I think I’ve seen it all, humanity continues to surprise me. And not in the “Oooh, look, a pony!” kind of way.

Thanks, Stephanie and HamCan!

    I was havin’ this out-of-doors experience,
    Saw these gardening beings.
    Everywhere I went up there, they were shakin’ their gardening things.
    Like someone gave ya a weal goose, or a beryl with
    A loose caboose.

          Well, that was originally a comment about how “Towing The Load” sounds like a p0rn, but I’m beating that horse to death. So I edited it.

          Heh. “Beating that horse”. Heh heh. Yeah. Beat it.

    Well, “weal” can mean wealth or riches, and beryl is a mineral. I would say if all your weal is in beryls, it’s time to diversify.

      [Corey] Depending on the color, gem-quality beryl is also called emerald, aquamarine, morganite, etc. It may not earn much interest or be the most liquid asset, but I wouldn’t mind having a large beryl weal. [/Corey]

    “weal beryl: Dumps out real good!” is how my brain is captioning the second picture.

    For the first one, I am less tempted to buy the possible gardening thing and more interested in offering $25 for the mystery boxes that are also pictured.

    Oh, the weal on the beryl goes round and round,
    round and round, round and round.
    The weal on the beryl goes round and round
    Over the ground.

    Oh, the gardening thing is twenty five bucks,
    twenty five bucks, twenty five bucks.
    The gardening thing is twenty five bucks.
    Both really sucks.

    Oh, the beryl on the weal hauls dirt dirt dirt,
    dirt dirt dirt, dirt dirt dirt.

      Saw one the other day for a “1 whee borrow”

      I’ve had some joyless days in my life, but I’ve never wanted temporary use of just a single glee or japery. (Perhaps it’s the thought of having to give it back after being done with it–like can I “borrow” that designer cupcake for a while; I’ll bring it back, promise! Ick, no, you keep it.)

        [corey]The term “bar ditch” comes from using a wheelbarrow to “borrow” soil from either side of a road way, to create the raised, crowned road bed.

        The term “barry ditch” is similar, borrow->borry/barry being the construction.

        Also, a two-wheeled “wheelbarrow” is called a “mason’s borrow” or “mason’s wheelbarrow.” The second wheel helps carry more weight, or wet product like mortar or concrete, with less side-to-side tipping. The two wheels are a bit less nimble than a single wheel, though.
        (Oddly, very few professional masons use mason’s borrows–probably because they are more expensive to buy, with twice the number of tires to maintain.)

    Sparky had to sell his
    Thing 1 and Thing 2
    Thing 1 was green
    The other, kind of blue.

    Mrs. Sparky said
    “Those Things gotta go!
    I don’t care if you burn them
    Or throw them out in the snow!”

    Sniffing and sobbing
    He placed a small ad
    On Craigslist, even tho
    It made him sadder than sad.

    With the dough he made selling
    Thing 1 and Thing 2
    He took Mrs. Sparky
    On a trip to the zoo.

    While she leaned over the fence
    Looking at not.a.lion
    He pushed her in the pen
    Without even tryin’.

    “I’m free!” he shouted
    “The old lady is done!”
    And he went straight to the store
    And bought a new Thing 2 and Thing 1.

    What’s not very hard
    to roll across yards
    and hauls your stuff all around?

    A thing, a thing, a gardening thing!
    Everyone knows a weal beryl!

    Weal beryl! Weal beryl!
    For some it’s a wonderful toy!
    Weal beryl! Weal beryl!
