Naomi sends in this ad, with the following commentary:
“Now, there are a couple of things you should notice about these chairs. First, of course, is that they are recling. So if you have ever wanted to recle in a chair, now is your chance. You might not know about recling, but it is what you are doing when you are not being reckless, of course.
“Second, there are two chairs, but they look like three, and they all take up the exact same space in the seller’s living room. Don’t ask how — they are trained professionals; don’t try this at home.
“Then, of course, there is the lovely kacki color. If you’re not familiar, this is the color you turn on a bumpy plane ride, as in ‘Are you OK?’ ‘No, I’m feeling a little kacki.’
“Apparently, the sale of these magical kacki recling chairs has something to do with the seller’s frustration over graduate school, because s/he wants theses gone as soon as possible.”
Recling. Surely that’s just someone making a one-off typo in the title, right? I mean, they got it right in the ad itself, so surely nobody else would make that mistake, right?
I have recling and other chair and 5 bucks for you
hurry wont last at this price
Oh. So, wait … I’ll get a recling, and a chair, AND $5? Is there any chance the recling is kacki?

Ah, for the lack of a single proof reading…
If the chair in the second ad isn’t kacki, I’m going to need $10 with it.
Dang. If only they were French Prudential!
5 bucks for me?!! score!
I think they missed a comma, and it’s meant to read “I have recling and other chair and 5, bucks for you”.
Just for me? Hot!
Don’t you mean “Hot Christ”?? 🙂
That too! 🙂 Hot Christ!
Well, at least we won’t get disqualified if we ask questions.
two chairs and 5 bucks for me? wow that won’t last…but do I really have to take the chairs?
I kind of enjoyed the breathless pace of this one:
Want them gone! Make an offer!! No time for spell check!!! Recle!!! Recle!!! – for pity’s sake!!!!
Recling, recling… hazard a guess there just may be a few vowels and consonants lacking.
They’re “recling” chairs, as in “cling again.” Sparky has an on-again, off-again emotional attachment to the chairs and will feel seller’s remorse as soon as you drive off with them.
Investigator: Where were you on August 8, 2009?
Me: I was snarking on YSaC.
Investigator: *pause* Snarking? About what?
Me: About Sparky and the Recling Chairs.
Investigator: I loved their first album, but then they sold out to the Man.
Me: That’s not the right line!
Investigator: Oh, bugger!
So are you…resnarkling?
Love this! No redoors for you, christina. All like new!
[corey] REC is a movie.
Recling chair must be infected with the virus.
Or maybe a recling is a fan of the movie, and is selling his chair to get his horror fix.[/corey]
STAND BACK, everyone! I’m letting the monkey out of the box! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Floral City!
