YSaC, Vol. 1705: I Shotsed the Sheriff

2014 May 19

Anyone who has ever read this blog (or Craigslist) should know by now that no one in the world has any idea how to spell “chihuahua.” It even took ME two tries, and we’ve been mocking poor spelling of the word since 2008. It almost seems redundant to point out our “if you can’t spell it, you shouldn’t own it” rule of dog breeds.

So what else can Sparky bring to the table besides two DIFFERENT bad spellings of chihuahua?

Chuauah/min pin mix


Small male Chiuahuah/min pin mix for sale.
-1 year 1/2 old
-Very playful and active dog.
-Great with children and other dogs.
-Great with car rides
-not neutered
-do not have shots

Adorable loving dog! Looking for a loving family to care for him. I am moving and can not take him with me. I am selling him for a fee

Awww… darn it. Not only does this ad drive me to drink, I’m not allowed to have shots.

Thanks for the post, Jen!

    Seeing as how I’m a bit more than 1/2 old, I’m going to wave my Walker at the punk kids who have had a dog for a tear and not bothered to bring the canine to county legal with the bare minimum of shots.

    Look! Up in the box! It’s a beard! It’s a cane! It’s Hammy, C””J, TC, Dave, and assorted Ferrets! Punchity Punch Punch!

    (Made you look!)

    (Actually, they were in the box last week and now there’s a new crew of Commentaters)

    Good Morning, All the chips at tea!

    Sparky, I don’t care if your chalupa has a min pin or a big pecil. It still creates problems with whore moans if you don’t have it neutered, so take it for a car ride and get it shot at the same time.

    I cannot spell “chihuahua” or figure out how to take care of one.

    I just call them “rat dogs” because that’s way easier to spell.

    I’ve always remembered the spelling by using my Dad’s mispronunciation of the word. He pronounces it like “chee-hoo-ah-hoo-ah”.

    Keeping with my atypical serious tone, this post should be reported — it’s one thing to charge an adoption fee for a pet, but you’re not supposed to sell them directly. Pet sales are against the TOU.

      Lone, let me ‘splain the Facts of Life here at the Snark Lounge. First, you submit an ad. Then months, or possibly years go by. Finally, if the ostrimu and the llamanun (MBBUT) love it very much, it shows up here. By now this minced chehaha has been shot, neutered, and fed to a coyote. So while I agree with you in principle, don’t waste the dime or the time flagging this ad.

      I always remember the correct spelling because Les Nessman on “WKRP in Cincinnati” pronounced it on the air as “chee-hoo-ah-hoo-ah” too!

      While writing this comment, I found I cannot remember how to spell Cincinnati.

        That’s the other word I can’t spell….luckily I rarely use both words in the same sentence…like, “kc’s chiuawawa sneezed and I said geisuethite!”…..

    Sure glad they specified they’re selling Fang for a fee. I sure ended up with egg on my face when I showed up to a person’s home when they listed hens for sale and I was hoping I could convince them to sell me one for a song. They wouldn’t even take a song and a dance. At first I thought the problem was ’cause I can’t really sing or dance, but then I realized they were just jerks who didn’t specify what they expected in exchange for the birds.
