YSaC, Vol. 231: Would that be a jedusa? Or a Mester?

**beautiful gester protiat – $95
beautiful gester protait, new!! $95 obo
I prefer the amateur tiats myself. The professional ones charge too much.
This looks more like a cross between a jester and Medusa. The gold things on the left are definitely jester tassels, but the things on the right sure look like snakes to me.
And it’s tough to tell, since they don’t include important things like dimensions in their post, but it looks pretty big. I’m not sure I’d want something that creepy hanging in my house.
Submitted by Dee — thanks!
It must take some kind of genius to misspell the same word two different ways only a few words away from each other.
How would you even say that? Some of these spellings are at least phoenetic, but really. protiat???? WTH would that even be?
“Beautiful”? Seriously?
That thing is frightening! The eyes!
I think it’s “portrait.”
Or some word they just made up.
Y’know, this kinda looks like something that you would find in a crappy hotel room in the eighties.
This misspelling actually hurt my brain.
With that one, it’s like – what was the first thing they taught you in first grade? Sound the word out. Where in “portrait” is a “pr” sound? Hmmm?
Hooked on phonics obviously did NOT work for them.
Huh. “Beautiful” a word whose spelling is not intuitively derived from its pronunciation. So how the heck does someone get “beautiful” right, and yet be so, so wrong on “portrait”?

Saw a sign today:
WER CASUAL
DINNING
NOT FAST FOOD
(just above the “Drive-Thru” sign)
All I’ll say is, if they run low on tables, they should definitely check Craigslist.
See you in your nightmares!
It’s not a portrait of anyone. It’s a cheesy stupid early-nineties Harlequinade mask.
It’s a Mardi Gras mask. I’m pretty sure the quality of the pic taking makes it look horrible.
They generally look like this:

I don’t think it’s the camera work that’s making that thing look like a tacky piece of crap.
They generally look like a web page that says “Not Found”?
Sparky was trying to type “Beautiful Jester Proletariat.” This is therefore the cover art for IF’s Brit-punk tribute album.
If I was given this “beautiful” thing as a present, I would have to put it under the cushions on the couch, to appease the Couch Snakes.
Which Tait is Sparky for, the engineering firm or the Christian band ? Either way, I’m pretty tait-neutral.
I’ve examined this protait and it don’t look good. It don’t look like a gester either. A gester is a hot water thingy like Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Beautiful.
I’ve given away nicer pictures than this. $95.00 huh? Tell you what Sparky, You give me the $95.00, and I’ll haul it to the nearest shooting range for you.
psst, Windrose, anyone? I’m stuck in moderation purgatory. Can you help me please? 🙂
Done and done.
Thanks for the beautiful gester!
First I gester age and she slapped me.
Then I gester weight, she slapped me again.
So you can just forget about her protait.
I’m keeping my mouth shut.
christina, your box day is over. Punchity Punch Punch.
Good Morning, Danny Kaye!
