  • YSaC, Vol. 1785: Owner of a Lonely Seal

    $$===FREE HEART EGG/PANCAKE RINGS


    * 2 Piece set
    * Stay cool knock down handle
    * FDA approved
    * Heat resistant to 500F/260C
    * Makes perfect heart shaped pancakes and eggs

    Just to be clear – this is a heart:

    To be fair, it is not shaped like this:

    However, it also not shaped like a seal, an armadillo, or the state of Michigan. In addition, of the two things in the set, there appear to be three of them.

    Thanks for the post, Stephanie!

    eight lap tops cheap – $1


    i have five lap top computers for sale they are Dual cores and work great they just need hard drives and power cords asking $ 20.00 each or $ 15.00 each if you buy two or more $ 100.00 for all eight these are great to put Linux or windows on

    Time to fire up the catulator! (Which, don’t forget, you can get on a mousepad!)

    Eight laptops times five laptops times two cores minus no hard drives plus power cords modulo $20 each to the power $15 each in base eight is…

    Thanks for the post, Lace!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1729: Send me an Angle.

    Beany Baby, Princess Diane – $80


    Princess Diane Beany Baby, Valued at $1`49.00, Selling for $80.00.

    Princess, Like an angle she came from heaven above. She shared her compassion, her pain, her love. She only stayed with us long enough to teach the worlf to share, to give, to reach.

    Intrigued, I went and looked into what Princess Diane Beanie Babies are actually selling for. Turns out there are people actually asking hundreds of thousands of dollars for these things on eBay. Sadly, they’re only worth about ten bucks. There goes THAT retirement plan. I guess I’ll have to go back to trying to teach the worlf to share, and keep it company.

    Thanks for the post, Maggie!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1646: “Me fail business? That’s unpossible!”

    Happy New Year, everyone! New Years Day is about self-reflection, and carefully considering how you will make yourself a better person in 2014. It’s about making a fresh start, and about being optimistic about the year ahead. It’s about the joy and wonder we can each find in our fellow man. It’s …

    who can tell that what’s my GPA score?


    I do not know my GPA ? who can tell me ? need apply for school

    Oh, never mind. It’s all about the Sparkys, just like every year.

    Happy New Year! Thanks, Buff!

    * To be fair, there is no GPA listed here, and this appears to be a transcript from a British university where they don’t calculate GPAs. But since Sparky here had 100% attendance in his Business program, one might assume that he would (a) know that and (b) be able to conjugate English verbs. Also, if Sparky has completed a Masters degree, and is applying for school, that means … no, it’s just too horrible to think about.

  • YSaC, Vol. 606: It’s the most remarkable word I’ve ever seen!

    A lurning tool for your child – $12


    You are buying a tool to lurn by. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx or e-mail me. I will mail to you. It’s ok to contact me about similar items.

    399

    You know, I’m glad to see this. Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children lurning? This proves that our children is lurning! Or, at least, they can if you buy them this tool to lurn by. Look, everyone, it lurns you cat math! 3+5 = 13!

    I keep trying to read the letters on the bottom and make them into a word. I vote for “APQXRYSFN” as the band name of the day.

    Just as long as she’s not teaching punctuation, capitalization, homonyms, and pluralization.

    Here’s how you know I’m a gigantic geek (other than the myriad other ways you know I’m a gigantic geek if you read this blog on a regular basis): I spent way too long trying to decide what she thinks the rules for pluralization with an apostrophe are. For example, why do spot’s, opening’s, year’s, thing’s, name’s, color’s, craft’s, and thank’s get apostrophes to make them plural, while references, kinds, shapes, numbers, and the second occurrence of things not get subjected to her wanton use of apostrophes to create plurals? After careful consideration, I’ve come to the conclusion that SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE’S DOING. She’s been huffing the finger paints.

    Thanks for the submissions, ochoco and backlitleo!

  • YSaC, Vol. 469: In which drmk spends too much time researching guitars.

    Small pervy guitar amp


    I have a small pervy guitar amp that I dont use anymore and I need money so I want to sell it.
    It would come in handy if you dont want to carry around a large amp all the time.
    I would like at least twenty bucks for it lol
    If your interested call or text xxxxxxxxxx

    Andy sends this one in, saying, “A Pervy amp doesn’t sound like a good deal to me. I wouldn’t let it in my house. It’s also not allowed within 100 yards of a school, and it has to check in with its probation officer once a week. Now if it was a Peavey (http://www.peavey.com/) amp, that’d be different.”

    We’ve established before, though, that guitarists aren’t the sharpest lightbulb in the crayon shed. And as if we needed more evidence, here’s an ad sent in by Joel:
