  • YSaC, Vol. 1759: ALT!

    text

    Just to be clear – I haven’t redacted anything here. The text of the ad is, in fact, the word “text.” If brevity is the soul of wit, then this guy is clearly Stephen Hawking and Oscar Wilde’s illegitimate love child.

    Thanks for the post, SD.

  • YSaC, Vol. 1745: I’ll take two!

    Now, normally we try to conceal where a post was made, in order to protect the stupid. However in this case, that would seem to involve removing half of the post:

    free (vancouver)


    Seriously. That’s the entire post. And there’s an obvious joke to be made: This person is giving away free Vancouvers! Wakka Wakka Wakka!

    Well, actually, it seems they ARE giving away free Vancouvers – since this wasn’t posted in Vancouver at all.

    Really. It was posted in an entirely different, non-Vancouver city. So… there you are. Vancouvers for everyone!

    Thanks for the post, Stephanie!

    Um, it’s a potato. In a pot. I’m pretty sure you’ve given away your trade secret here, Nita.

    Although you do get a message from the universe with each one. Too bad the message from the universe is probably something like, “Hey jackass, you just bought a potato in a pot.”

    Thanks to MsMarvel for the submission!

    There isn’t even any good reflectoporn in the listing. I’m terribly disappointed.

    Lamp, meet table.

    Edited to add: Ah-ha, it’s an Anchorman reference. Still, not the best way to sell your grandmother’s ugly lamp, is it?
