    Juliet sends this one in, saying, “I do like the variety of underwear displayed. You have the leg-hugging shorts, lots of basic black (it’s always chic, a man’s version of the little black dress), and the  velour couch-print speedo-style; but my favourite for sure are the beigey-pinky briefs. It doesn’t get any sexier than those. And no skid marks? How awesome is that? Cuz, when I want free underwears, skid marks are a dealbreaker. So are big holes, although I don’t mind a few small ones. One has to have standards when it comes to free underwears. I can’t just take just any free underwears from just anyboody. And best of all, their loose is my gain! How can anyoone pass up such a great offer?”

    Yup, that about covers it. Unlike those leopard-print speedos.

    Is it really geeky of me to be amused that the phrase singulare tantum has a plural form? Yeah, I thought so.

  • YSaC, Vol. 261: I didn’t really need proof of that last part. Thanks, though.

    I didn’t think it would be possible to take a less-flattering picture of the dog you’re trying to abandon than this one, but these people have managed to do it.

  • YSaC, Vol. 258: It’s no Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich …

    This was posted in “general”. I suppose it’s because Craigslist doesn’t have a section for “miracles and revelations”.

    Um. I think we’ve found the seventh wonder of the stupid world.

    Actually, it’s probably the sixth wonder. The seventh wonder will be that someone will probably buy this from him.

  • YSaC, Vol. 253: Well, that’s a shock.

    Green Microfiber Sofa – $200

    Paid over $2400 new, but then my precious dog had an accident with the arm rest. Easy fix!
    $200 firm, no delivery

    Don’t you hate it when your dog accidentally shreds the armrest of your couch? I mean, there he goes about his doggy day, doing his doggy thing, and then all of a sudden, he trips and completely shreds the upholstery.

    Luckily it’s an easy fix that just involves reupholstering the entire couch.

    I hope the dog doesn’t “accidentally” shred the electrical cords that the owners have so thoughtfully left out and exposed right near the dog bed. I mean, it’s not like the dog has ever chewed on anything before, right?

    Nichole sends this one in, saying, “Okay, the fish makes whatever you charge totally worth it!”

    Be sure to read the fine print on the contract, though — some of those places will promise you a 20 pound fish and then have a tiny clause in the contract that says, “20 pound fish may not be available in all units.” Then you’re all moved in, and you ask about your fish, and they say, “Well, unfortunately, it’s only available in three-bedroom units.” Then you’re stuck.

    Kira sends this in, saying, “Yikes, because nothing says heartwarming like the KKK riding off into the sunset….”

    Is it just me, or does it look like they’re riding alpacas? Or maybe tauntauns?

    I’ve blurred the phone number and link to the artist’s home page, because after looking at the other works displayed there, I honestly don’t think that “Early Racist Art” was quite the genre s/he was going for — although I can’t figure out what it would be otherwise! Any ideas?
