  • YSaC, Vol. 1752: Until The End of The World

    I bought a Soda and it had a promotion for an extra one for free but I am diabetic and can only drink one soda a day so I don’t need this extra one. I like game shows so it goes to the third response I get.

    Uh oh. The only possible explanation for this is that the poster here is psychic, and knows the world is going to end before tomorrow. *PANIC, YOU FOOLS!* And have a soda. *NOW PANIC SOME MORE!!*

    Oh, wait – this was posted in March. Never mind, false alarm.

    Thanks for the post, Kit!

    OLD ELECTRIC CLOTHES PRESSURE – $30

    VENTAGE ELECTRIC CLOTHES PRESSURE WOKS WELL 27″ wide 50 YRS OLD

    dun dun dun da da dun dun,
    da dun dun dun da da dun dun…

    Pressure,
    Pushing down on pants,
    Pushing down on shirts,
    no man has worn

    Under pressure,
    That gets your seams all flat
    takes your wrinkles out
    can leave scorch marks

    It’s the terror of knowing
    This machine has a mouth,
    The knobs look like eyes
    Screaming “Let Me Out!”

    Thanks for this scary appliance, Susan!

  • YSaC, Vol. 463: A different use of the “slimy” tag …

    1959 UNOPEND CRISCO – $25 (GILFORD)

    1959 UNOPEND CAN OF CRISCO VEG.SHORTINING WITH THE TWIST KEY STILL ATTCHED
    ASKING 25.00 OR BEST OFFER. EMAIL INQUIRIES TO CANTFLAMExxxxx@YAHOO.COM

    1959 was a very good year for Crisco. It had an excellent growing season, with not too much rain. This 1959 Crisco is drinking well now, and will continue to age well for the next forty to fifty years. The Shortening Enthusiast gives it a 94. Pairs well with cheese, particularly a 60-year Gouda. Good mouth feel, with a slight slime factor on the first taste that is taken over by the final taste of rancid.

    What is it with people on Craigslist and expired Crisco? At least those people weren’t trying to charge actual money for it.

    Thanks, Matt — I don’t think I’ll be eating anything for a while after seeing that.
