YSaC, Vol. 1751: Please phrase that in the form of not stupid

2014 September 3

And now, it’s time to play the exciting new game show, “Boat or Grill?”

boat or….. grill NEW in box – $25 (ne metro)


Um. That’s a grill.

Not really all that exciting a game show, now that you mention it.

And if you think that’s bad, wait till you try the home game.

Thanks for playing, sd!

    Something tells me that “Kegyayque” was a regular keg not too long before Sparky posted this.

    When I was shopping on Craigslist,
    I asked ol’ Sparky
    Which will it be?
    Is it it a boat, or
    Is it a grill?
    Here’s what he said to me.

    Que será, será.
    Whatever will be, will be
    The plain fact’s not ours to see.
    Que será, será.
    $25, please.

    Row, row, row your grill
    Gently through the park,
    Merrily merrily merrily merrily
    Life is but a spark

    I’M ON A BOAT!

    No, no you’re not Sparky.

    YES I AM, THIS IS MY REALITY AND IF I SAY I’M ON A BOAT, THEN DAMMIT, I’M ON A BOAT!

    Okay, if you say so, you may want to consider going ashore in a minute.

    *tosses match onto boat grill*

    OUCH. OUCH. OUCH!!

    Told you.

    Replay value is disappointingly low on that home version.

    I think “KegyayQue” might be a foreign translation for Kayak. Also on he box, it says “Propane Grill”. According to the box, it is a model. You need to put it together. If you follow the directions for the KegyayQue, you get a boat. If you follow the directions for Propane Grill, you get a Grill. Sparky just wanted the glue. So if you get this, you’ll have to go down to your local hobby store and get a new tube.

      If it’s a he box, does that make it a hermaphrodite? Hope LL saves me a seat in that hand basket.

        Bummer, I missed the “t” on my proofread. I usually have problems with my “o” key.

    Yes, folks. You can build your own ark, and barbecue the animals you save!

    Gotta go, the handbasket has a reserved seat for me.

    Peter Griffin: Ooh, we’ll take the box. The box could be anything. It could even be a boat. You know how much we wanted one of those.

    The last time I tried to grill, it was supposed to be on a three hour tour.

    We had an office pool on whether it would be a boat or a grill. I won that part, but I was a week off on the delivery date.

    On seventeen hundred and fifty one
    I bought a grill ’cause I had none.
    I invited the neighbors to have some fun.
    They boated me off the island.

    On seventeen hundred and forty nine.
    I got a motor that worked just fine.
    The motor and grill they did combine.
    Then boated me off the island.

    On seventeen hundred and forty six
    My motor home I could not fix.
    My neighbors laughed, that bunch of hicks.
    They boated me off the island.
