YSaC, Vol. 1724: WARSROBE! What is it good for?

FREE WORDEOBE MOVING BOXES
I have 4 LARGE WARSROBE BOXES . Come get them !
I was going to write some sort of lengthy entertaining snark for this one, but I just keep looking at WORDEOBE and giggling.
Thanks for the link, Peter!
I’m also looking for an armour, or maybe even an armwordeobe.
Did you look in the closet?
Ah, the mythical WARSROBE. I have quested lo these many years to find one with which to defeat the haunted sword of craigslist. Finally, my dreams have been answered and I will vanquish my enemies!
I think I’m going to have to have a wordeobe with you about your dreams.
You do realize that wordeobe is a vulpes-sutra position don’t you?
Wordeobe was a predecessor to Scrabble; it never caught on because it was too complicated. You could roll dice to move the other players’ boxes as well as your own letters, so nothing but two-letter words were likely to survive.
Warsrobe was an attempt to make the game more interesting; the boxes and letters came in three sizes. and they had to fit properly. I think there was something about a lion and a witch that could magically change the score, but I could be confusing it with another unlikely invention.
The modern version is played on a computer, of course; it’s called War of Wordcraft.
Sure that’s not Wor of Quinecraft?
I wonder if they belonged to someone famous? Then they’d be STAR WARSROBE boxes.
Ah, yes, that was one of my favorite books – “The Not-a-Lion, the Lacawates Valtrus-Suka, and the Wordeobe.”
That’s a book about my ex-wife
“The lying b!tch in her warsrobe.”
Ayyyyyye, Ayyyyye been watchinhew!
Ayyyyyyy thing kye wanna knowya (knowya)!
Wooorrrrrrrrrrr – DEEEE – OHHHHHHHHHH – EEEEEEE – OBE!!
Warsrobe large, warsrobe small,
Warsrobe in a box, four till sold;
Some like it large, some like it small,
Some like it in a box, four till sold
It’s a good box, love its cardboard
Love that detritus and its area, too
It’s a good box, crazy but free OBO
Love its largeness and its warsrobe, too
It’s a long box found in [location]
There’s a freeway runnin’ next its yard
It’s a bad Sparky ’cause he can’t even spell it
It’s a bad Sparky for not breaking it apart
And it’s free, free Wordeobe’, Wordeobe’
And it’s free, free Wordeobe’, Wordeobe’
But is it a D*ck in a box?
I see Sparky is getting better at the high-contact sport he created, combat Craigslist. You dress in camo and pads and carry paintball guns adjusted to very high velocity. You sneak around the house looking for something you no longer need. You then sneak to the computer and create an ad to get rid of the unnecessary item. Of course once your opponents hear the tell-take klikety-klak of the keyboard, they rush the room where the computer is kept and fire as many paintballs as they can. What makes the game extra challenging is the only light in the computer room is from the computer monitor. So people sometimes take the keyboard and hide anywhere the cord lets them.
Competitors have to type very fast while keeping their eye on the door, which means they usually end up with gibberish.
Points are awarded for how intelligible the post is and deducted for how seriously your opponents injure you. Some opponents forego the paintball guns and emulate NFL linebackers.
WORDEOBE-WAN-KENOBE was a WARSROBE boxer a long time ago, in an imagination far, far away from reality.
There is a furniture store in Idaho that has two signs on the building.
“Idaho’s WALLBED Store
Custom Furniture,
OFFICE
BEDROOM
TV CENTERS
ARMORIES”
I think it’s obvious a WARSROBE could be found here as well.
@ least they spelled armoire correctly on their website.
An armwar by any other name would smell as musty.
BUT!!!!! I used under-arm-war deodorant!!!!
Too bad this is posted in July. If it had been early May, it would’ve worked out nicely as a gift-giving opportunity.
Wars-robe–isn’t that what Brienne of Tarth wears?
We will say WORDEOBE to you untill you bring us a shrubbery.
WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE!
WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE!
WORDEOBE! WORDEOBE…
Make it a nice one with a lacawates in the center and Misjay around the edge.
