YSaC, Vol. 1650: A God-Fairing Gentleman
lower fairings – $567
selling my lower fairings off my.
Um. What? At this point, we don’t even know what KIND of vehicle these fairings fit on, let alone the make and model. We don’t even know that these are FOR a vehicle – for all we know this person bought some fairings for their CAT. And the ad never returns to this issue.
And yet Sparky knows exactly how much they want for them, to an odd level of precision.
i like these vents better than the factory vents because they dont open and close on you while going down the road.
WHICH vents? The vents in the fairings you’re selling? In that case, why are you selling them? Or are you selling the factory vents? In which case why are you telling us why you don’t like them? Or is this comment completely unrelated to the fact that you are selling these mystery fairings?
will trade for a crossbow
Sparky, at this point I wouldn’t trust you with a dried pea and a straw. No, you may not haz a crossbow.
Thanks for this… whatever it is, K!
In context, I’ll wager these are motorcycle fairings (since they are oft vended in upper & lower combinations). Also, because such fairings often include venting of complexity from the sublime to the Rube Goldberg (all to be able to direct air upon the rider’s knees, to varying end-results).
Further, I strongly suspect that sparkiimath is much in evidence here, as Spark’ wants to trade a $150-200 used fairing set for a $500-750 crossbow.
Hmm, now I want to go see how much a replica Italianate arbalast goes for, just to see if such, and a shiny object, would hold Spark’s attention long enough to not notice that the string does not go “spoing!” But, then, I’d be saddled with a used set of Metric-only fairings for a 1979 Famaguchi 228cc that was discontinued by it’s North Korean factory for safety reasons.
I want a crossbow, but I have no fairings. I wonder if anyone would trade for some unfairings.
C’mon Kelli; that just wouldn’t be fair.
The lower the fairings
The worse my bearings
On the open road
They don’t open and close
To my redneck abode
A deer camp of tents
I desire some crossbows
And you’ll acquire these vents
The lower the fairings,
The better your bearings.
That’s what I said.
And everyone’s hopin’
The vents won’t come open.
Or so I have read.
I will trade them for a big ol’ crossbow
Or five-sixty-seven, just so you know.
Craigslist ad, Craigslist ad,
Talk about sales skills; mine are so bad.
Craigslist ad drives me out of my mind.
Let’s leave this whole post behind.
Darryl Dixon learns how to use craigslist.
Sparky is an orc who swapped out the subset of fairies that come standard on steeds with ones from the Mordor’s (Black) Market in hopes of attracting a female. Didn’t work so he’s switching to Plan B in his quest for getting a mate. Hence the wanting to trade for a crossbow.
My friend and I go fairing all the time. We dress up in pseudo-medieval clothing and walk around and look at all the different tents. One time we even got to fire a crossbow.
NO! Sparky…you may NOT trade for a crossbow!!!!!….you’ll put your eye out!
Step 1: Come bearing crossbow, convince Sparky to lick a flagpole in this weather.
Step 2: Leave with crossbow, fairings, and a sense that you’ve done something meaningful for society that day.
Step 3: Profit.
Hemmm! Hemmm! By tunn sss suck oo a faaapool!
It’s always fun ’til somebody loses an eye.
zoe and annonymous, you are heereby requested and required to vacate the box pronto. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Wayfairings!
TC, I’d like to point out that making a horrible pun has landed you in the box. Let that be a lesson to everyone. The worse the pun, the more we like it!
There’s always the possibility (remote, I’ll admit) that these are Cornish fairings, a type of ginger biscuit, or even the more traditional meaning of fairing – any edible treat sold at a fair. But if Sparky wants to swap them for a crossbow, it’s going to cost a lot of biscuits.
I can see that, once I mentally erase the image of Lower Fairings being some sort of bed-sit community in Shropshire just on the other side of the A13e2.1 from Wainscoting.
Is that Upper Wainscoting, Nether Wainscoting, Wainscoting St Michael or Wainscoting All Saints?
*checks map* Yes.
Wainscoting wi’ nae sheep ‘oles in the skirting-board, please.
And certainly not that Scotswane in Cymru, either.
Maybe sparky’s really freezing his lower fairings off? Polar vortex and all.
The problem with fairings that open and close on you while going down the road is that your hovercraft gets full of eels.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
Hey Sparks,
I got your crossbow right here.*

Now go stand in that field and hold this 🙂 on your chest whilst I demonstrate its use.
*still can’t embed links, I haz a stupid.
There once was a Sparky with fairings,
Off of what, he has not been sharing.
For a crossbow he’ll trade,
What the factory hath made.
But the cat wants to trade them for herrings.
