Emily sends this one along, saying, “A tan what? This was not accompanied by a photograph or explanation. We figured it was a stocky toddler.”
Perhaps it doesn’t matter what it is. It’s sturdy and tan. What more need one know?
(This may belong with the other Zen posts.)
I’m sure whatever it is will go well in one of those apartments after I fix it up. Tan goes well with non-dark/black paint. Tan, sturdy things that cost $200, that is.
Haha! Stocky toddler. I love it.
Could it be instant tan lotion? After 3 years I suspect that stuff gets pretty solid and sturdy.
Maybe it’s a gallon of milk.
Iwow i have NEVER paid that much for a tan!
Sweet! I’ll take two.
This made me laugh.
My mind went for a very large dildo…
I could use an ASAP but I’m not sure one that is 3 years old will convey the urgency I want.
I too would hope “as soon as possible” doesn’t translate to 3 years from now
If I didn’t just break the bank paying for a surprisingly fragile brand new beige one, I might be tempted. I guess they just don’t make them like they did 3 years ago. I blame NAFTA.
2009 must have been a great vintage for maple syrup.
Maybe Sparky thinks there’s some dinosaur DNA in it, like Jurassic Park.
My mother was famous for mispronouncing words.
I went to see Jurassic Park and afterwards she asked me, “How was your ass in park?”.
Well when watching a movie, one usually doesn’t jump around too much. You stay in your seat.
😉
Sparky has had it for three years and still doesn’t know what it is. No wonder Sparky has to sell it ASAP.
As soon as possibilities come to mind I’ll let you know.
Sparky has nothing better to do than keep you on the phone guessing.
A horse,
A dog,
An armoire,
A dining room set.
The golden child.
An outdoor playset.
A tan outdoor mower.
Come on Sparky, give me a clue.
Aww, no indoor mowers?
It’s obviously a . Sparky is to embarrassed to say that is what it is.
He has already brought shame to his family name for bringing a into his home. ing is frowned upon in most cultures. s come in a variety of flesh tones ranging from very pale to black.
If you decide to purchase this , I would suggest you remain anonymous.
If you have children in the household, you should not even consider bringing a into your home.
Hmmmm, even the comment box wouldn’t let me type in what it is.
Apparently everything I type does not show up.

Because of the way WordPress fora “work” there are some peculiarities vice other forum strategies.
One thing that we have here is that all expressions contained between ASCII 60–open angle bracket, and ASCII 62–close angle bracket, are evaluated as html expressions. These are parsed against the (rather limited) stylebook Vigilance Jestro allows. If there is no such match, the entry is parsed.
So, ‘common’ IRC expressions, like <grin>, <wink>–and, I suspect your attempt to use <bleep> all fail the table comparison and are rendered as ASCII 0 (zero).
But wait, by what arcane chicanery or occult art did I get the mystic characters to appear? Well, I used the rather tiresome “ampersand” html character codes. Which follow a pattern of ampersand, code, and semicolon.
The Shift+comma is ampersand lt semicolon (& lt ;–e.g. <) with no spaces; the Shift+period is ampersand gt semicolon (& gt ;–e.g. >). {In this usage, lt= less-than, gt=greater-than}.
This is why we use square brackets (e.g. [ ]) on ‘corey’ ‘matt’ and similar “tags”–those express graphically without a great deal of manipulation and typesetting.
The style-sheet here supports the <blockqoute>; <em> (italic), <b> (bold); <del> (strikeout); and <url> tags.
The “short” link syntax is
Thus, endeth the lesson; Gentleman

Thankew!
Omniscience. Cap’n haz it.
To Right!

Ok, it’s obviously a (bleeep). Sparky is to embarrassed to say what it is.
Sparky has brought shame to his family name for bringing a (bleeep) into his home.
(bleeep)ing is frowned upon in most cultures. (bleeep)s come in a variety of flesh tones ranging from very pale to black.
If you decide to purchase this (bleeep), I would suggest you remain anonymous.
If you have children in the household, you should not even consider bringing a (bleeep) into your home.
I hope this clears things up for you.
Actually, One, I thought it was hilarious just the way it was.
Should I have used (blank) ing instead?
It’s magic! It’s whatever you want it to be, as long as you want it to be tan. I want a pony! No, wait, a maned wolf! No, no, a turaco! Oh, they don’t look so good in tan. Lederhosen! George Hamilton! A luxury Yacht! I can’t make up my mind!
We have a small, tight box today! Uh. . . . yeah, corner. Astro, when’s your birthday?
We’re sorry, sponsors! So very sorry!
No we’re not. We just need to go out and get lower-class sponsors.
That never happens when it’s my turn…*pout*
Dude! What the heck is their toddler doing with a tan?
And $200 seems kinda steep.
Says the guy who has a toddler.
But note that $200 is the reduced price. I wonder what Sparky was originally asking?
I don’t know why, but I’m getting that this is a toddler with superpowers. Mommy and Daddy have just had to admit that what is happening is not, in fact, just odd coincidences. It IS Junior that is making it happen. They tried to appease Junior with all his favorite treats, hence the stockiness, but still he would have tantrums and the… occurrences would happen. That’s why they need to get rid of him ASAP and have reduced the price. The $200 is for their bus ticket to deepest, darkest Saskatchewan, where they will start a new life under assumed names.
Unfortunately, they don’t realize that among Junior’s superpowers is omniscience. ( Just like CapnMac.) Junior WILL find them. Oh, yes. He will find them. And when he does…
I get this funny feeling that this is a hidden ad for a prostitute:
-“Very Tan” means she is a white woman who is, well, tanned.
-“Very sturdy” means she is game for all that hard core shit.
-“3 years old” would mean that she’s experienced, and been in the business for 3 years… I hope.
Astro, you may go and take this with you: Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, uh, er, well. . . yeah.
