YSaC, Vol. 1538: I think I gotta make you my next ex.

36″ tall ex pen


I have two ex-pens for sale like new condition 40.00 each

It’s worth a try, I guess, but I just don’t think this will hold my ex. He was kind of wily. And taller than 36″. And usually required more grazing room than this will provide. And he had opposable thumbs, although he wasn’t really bright enough to know what to do with them …

On second thought, these would probably work just fine for him. Maybe I’ll give him one of those dangly toys to play with, too.

Thanks, OMV!

    Dunno, they seem a little ex-pensive.

    I have two exes for sale. They are not in like-new condition; they are more like fixer-uppers.

    This pen has passed on! It is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker! A stiff, bereft of cage! It rests in peace. If you hadn’t put this pen on Craigslist it’d be pushing up the daisies! It’s containing ability is now history! It’s off the twig! Kicked the bucket, shuffled off the capturing coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!

    This, is an ex pen.

    $2 OBO.

    I’ve been coffee-free (and it certainly doesn’t FEEL free darn it) since Sunday morning. Will someone have pity on me and explain what Sparky means by ex pen?

    That second pic looks suspiciously like a coffin. Well, I won’t fall for that again!

    I was a bit pensive about submitting the ex pens ad, but now that I see that it made the cut, I’m ex pensive.

    Sparky no longer needs these, so they are expendable.

        Instead of replying to that, I’ll just go to the corner.

          Huh, I put a term in the first list I thought was more corner worthy. I guess I need to stay on the clock.

    C””J, I was hoping the box stint would cheer you up. Cause you deserve happiness! You don’t deserve this, but it’s tradition. Punchity Punch Punch!

    Good Morning, Ex Penn Jillette!
