1999 Oldsmobile. cutlas – $750



1999 oldsmobile cutlass odometer: 140000 automatic transmission title : clean
The car is forking. Good the boby is little. Missing. 140 000 miles I’m. Asking. 750 OBO for any info.call show contact info

What can we learn about this car?

  • It has an automatic transmission title.
  • It’s clean
  • It’s forking. Which is fine, I don’t mind an open source car, as long as all the forks are properly committed to GitHub.
  • Good the Boby is little. “Good the Boby” is clearly an appellation of respect, like “Robert the Bruce” or “Nicky the Fish.”
  • The car is missing. Oh dear. This one is probably a deal breaker.
  • The owner is offering 750 Obos for information as to the whereabouts of their car.
  • The owner is apparently hosting a call-in show for people to send their contact info.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for people to call the show to tell Sparky where his car is?

Thanks, SD!

    At least the car isn’t spooning. That would be… awkward.

      I agree- it’s good the baby is little….otherwise it would be a teenager…..and we all know that teenagers and cars don’t mix…..even if they’re missing.

    *looks suspiciously at the recurring names in the box*

    meeshybee, you’re excused with a simple Punchity Punch Punch. Dave, tribe of Ferrets, M2N2, stand over here by the Punch-o-matic. You must watch this tape of 20 hours of actual 1970s Prime Time tv, complete with commercials, before the machine will punch you free. Maybe that will teach you! Stop having all your relatives vote for you! Of course, you have to go back in the box after that. But don’t do it again!

    Good Morning, Blueberry Pie Lovers!

    Since the engine appears to be missing, it is mostly gutless — truth in advertising.

    However, $750 for an odometer and a transmission title is overpriced, even if the car is for a king. Or for a future king; I don’t think we get to see the coronation of Good the Boby until next season, and it’s likely to be bloody. I’m having trouble keeping track of all the kings in the series as is.

    If I call the show they would just try to sell me more fake midevil stuff. Sorry Sparky, but I need a 4 wheel drive vehicle; winter is coming.

      By mixing chramosomes from porent A with chramosomes from porent B. All patential porents with X-X chramosomes came with a mixing kit and just need to introduce chramosomes donated from the X-Y porent and let the two sets of chramosomes simmer for 9 manths.

    “1999 oldsmobile cutlass odometer:”

    That’s good, because it’s supposed to be in a 1999 Oldsmobile cutlass. You can get into trouble for messing with the odometer.

    “140000 automatic transmission title :”

    That’s bad, because the 1999 Oldsmobile cutlass didn’t come with a 140 ooo automatic transmission. It came with a 4T40E automatic transmission. You also don’t need a title for a transmission.

    “clean”

    Is that a description of the car or a description of you? Do you want us to clean it for you?

    “The car is forking.”

    Maybe it is just tining or a Ford.

    “Good the boby is little.”

    It might be a better selling point if you said, “Good the boby is fun sized.”

    “Missing.”

    [This line is intentionally left blank]

    “140 000 miles I’m.”

    [This will be covered in a different comment]

    “Asking.”

    Answering.

    “750 OBO for any info.”

    Last Saturday, I met Perry. Perry is not a platypus. Perry is a game warden. He slapped me on my hand.* Now gimme my OBOs.

    “call show contact info”

    Hello, show? Here is the info you want on contact.

    con·tact noun ˈkän-ˌtakt

    : the state or condition that exists when two people or things physically touch each other : a state of touching

    : the state or condition that exists when people see and communicate with each other

    : an occurrence in which people communicate with each other

    *This is true.

      “140 000 miles I’m.”

      A hunnert n forty thousand miles I am.
      A hunnert n forty thousand I am, I am
      I got caught. I was forked by a car.
      Along with seven others outside of a bar.
      And everybody had a boby.
      Mine was the bobiest by far.
      So whenever a car is forking you.
      Have the bobiest by far, by far.
      Have the bobiest by far!

    Come away with me, Lucille
    In my forking Oldsmobile
    Down the road of strife we’ll lie
    Boby missing, who knows why
    If an engine we swiftly steal
    Then our tires will really peal
    You can go as far as you like with me
    In my forking Oldsmobile.

    Story time!

    During he first year I drove school bus, I walked around to the side of the shop. All of the mechanics were standing around the engine compartment of a car (hood up, no engine), staring. I walked up, looked at the engine compartment, looked at the mechanics, then said, “What’s the matter, won’t it start?”
    The looks were priceless. Did he just ask us a stupid question?
