Well, there’s only one form that the commentary sent by Chase could take:
There is an image but it electronics and an email address. I was just excited to see that electronics and an email address. There is an image but it is just a generic spam image with pictures of electronics and an email address. I was just excited to see that in addition to generic spam image with pictures of EVERYTHING listed, electronics and an email address. it has wheels and is trilingual. There is an image but it is just a generic spam image with pictures So sick of monolingual, stationary rear projections that purr down and warm back up to coal color. Also, the title it has wheels and is trilingual! I found it looking for a Kindle purr down and warm back up to coal color. Apparently generic spam image with pictures of electronics and an email address favorites are monolingual, stationary rear projections that even better than a generation kindle?*
Thanks, Chase! [This was, of course, posted under “cell phones”.]

It sounds good, but is it rear projection coal color?
I think the real question here is *pause* will it blend?
But seriously, ‘down’ with what? A cold? The flu? Chicken pox? I mean, I don’t want a diseased television, even if it is trilingual.
It’s down with OPP.

Nice rear projection, Kelli!
Moooom! Hammy is looking at my rear projection.
Just make sure he stays away from your input and output jacks.
Kelli’s mom: “I got a more substantial rear projection when I BECAME your mom, so don’t come crying to me!”*
*Note: I’m not calling kelli’s mom fat-arsed. I’m just saying that I noticed a certain migration after I gave birth, and I assume it’s mostly universal. Except for on Heidi Klum.
My mom actually had no rear end of which to speak, despite being 5′ and close to 300 lbs. She was however, quite fond of the phrase “kiss my a55.” When we were spreading her ashes and the wind changed and start blowing the ashes back at us, we joked that it was her way of telling us one last time to “kiss her a55.”
*Waves hands around*
These are not the rear projections I was groping for.

You’re so welcome, Smedley-puppy. I figured this was an Onion kind of crowd.
Thank you all, I’m snort-laughing. I may have had a bit more wine than usual this evening.
*I accidentally moved the cursor while typing and put the ed of the sentence in the middle. I should have left it that way to emphasize too much wine.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy of coal black color with purr, trilingual, and wheels.
I must know just what the heck this person* is thinking. Then, I can psychoanalyze** them.
*May not be a person, might be a badly programmed spam bot.
**Attempt to, anyways.
But … What color is it?
Purr.
Yes
Coal until it cools down, when it magically becomes charcoal. Mind you, that’s when it’s ‘in color’ – what it looks like when it’s black-and-white is anyone’s guess.
I dunno, $150 sounds like a bargain for something that purrs, is trilingual AND has wheels – it’s like a pet from the future!
Where I’m from, coal is black. There’s even a saying about that. Something like “black as coal.”
I thought everyone said that.
That’s not PC, it should be “mineral of color as coal.”
There’s a Mr. Sharpton on line 3 for you, Ed
You know, when I was in the Navy, we got this new black Chief. One weekend we were having our staff meeting and all of the instructors were reporting what we had accomplished over the weekend.
Our swimming instructor was telling us about this one guy who jumped into the pool and sank to the bottom like a rock. “He was a big black man!” she said.
Immediately, the new Chief jumped in with, “why’s he gotta be black?”
The swimming instructor’s face went white and she started, “I, um, uh, oh…”
Then one of the other instructors cut in with, “He was probably born that way, Chief.”
Everyone laughed including the new Chief and that was the end of it.
Oprah and Louis Farrakhan on lines #4 and #5 for Ed!
Correction: Chief Geronimo just rang in to line #6.
I thought the phrase was “Colder than a witches -“. Wait, I remember now, that has nothing to do with coal.
Never mind.
We had an expression that has stayed with me for a long time: “Gray paint drips show on us all.”
If the object of the parable was missed, scaling paint in the chain locker with a needlegun was often educational.
And dead it was.
christina, isn’t it your birthday today? Shouldn’t you be out, you know, celebrating and kicking ass and so on?
I should be, but I’m stuck at work getting my ass kicked instead. But I did get a batch of birthday muffins!
Hooray birthday muffins!
May your birthday yogurt bring you joy on this special day!!!!!
Happy Birthday, christina!
And Graham T., come back for your B-day wishes.
Happy Birthday Muffins, girl-crush christina!
Happy Birthday, christina!
Thank everyone! Don’t forget GrahamT, it’s his birthday too.
Happy Birthday Graham and christina! May you share many more.
Oh, and christina – I really, really love your muffins. May they never go stale. 😉
Her sweater-muffins? :-p
Happy
DuctapeBirthday, GrahamT!Apparently my catulator let me down! Graham says his birthday isn’t until December 6. How could I get it so wrong? 8/ Pack up half the birthday balloons and put half the cake in the fridge.
He said November 29th
**Has giant handfuls of cake, stuffing it into her mouth…
Huh? Iss noh raham urghayy??
christina, thanks! I have more faith in myself now. Sheesh, what is that guy trying to do? 8) Two parties, maybe.
EB – do you REALLY think I’d ever make a comment that even approached the line of proper behavior, especially concerning someone’s female parts?
Heavens! – I’m shocked! 😉
Exactly, Grampdaddy knows that muffins are not to be put in sweaters, you’ll get crumbs in your sweater. That’s why I only smuggle grapefruit in my sweater.
Smuggle Grapefruit is IF’s Agent Orange tribute band.
It was purr. WAS purr. Does that mean there’s a dead cat in it?
I was thinking pure. It’s a virgin T.V.*
*What’s that? It was a phone ad? I distinctly got a T.V. feeling.**
**I’m not saying “vibe” in this crowd.
But you’re comfortable with “virgin” and “feeling”?
Well, you can’t win them all.
Virgin TV is a wholly owned subsidiary of Virgin Records. It’s what MTV was when it first started. To quote my 20 year old daughter, “MTV played music?”
And Virgin Records brings up two additional questions:
1) What’s a record?
2) What’s a
Pecil
No thanks. I just ate.
I drive a Vibe, yeah, my friends already went there.
In Soviet Russia Vibe drives you!
@ Laurel: “Does that mean there’s a dead cat in it?”
I hope so! Now I can match the sofa that might have the (possibly dead) snake in it!
No, I think it means it’ll only display lesbian pron…
What?
Hammy – what thought process did you go through to get to that??
Yes.
Oh. OK then – makes sense.
I always wanted a dead charcoal-colored cat that was trilingual and had wheels. It would roll around the house translating from cat to English to Klingon.
*adds to Christmas wish list*
And you don’t even have to be good because the coal is built in!
*Adds to Beesmas wish list*
SJ, I thought the coal was its energy source.
Based on my observations most cats seem to be solar-powered, but also require large amounts of indirect heat absorbed directly through the body.
Let’s analyze:
1) It’s a model Ol’ Down. This right here is an Ol’ Down rear-projection TV, because it’s old and goes down a lot — a factory feature, which is why it was assigned that model number deliberately.
2) It is rear projection coal colour, which is a shade of coal made specifically for rear projection televisions. You won’t find this on any Pantone swatch. It’s an incredibly deep black — so much so that it actually absorbs light from surrounding objects. Fun Fact: Hotblack Desiato loved this colour so much he painted his entire space ship with it.
3) Was purr. Probably a typo and he meant to type “purring.” These Ol’ Down televisions did indeed purr. Most people though it was annoying, not least because it attracted cats who either wanted to fight it or mate with it. His no longer purrs, so this is probably to your benefit.
4) It was purchased 6 years ago and is charcoal in colour. That is not the actual age of the unit, just when it was purchased, likely used from the estate sale of a deceased elderly gentleman. Who liked deep black electronics.
5) It’s HD-ready with progressive scanning, , PIP, and digital convergence, which means it will automatically attempt to absorb your VCR, DVD player, cell phone, MP3 player, clock radio, computer, and any other electronics placed in its vicinity. Do not go near this if you have a pacemaker. Do not place near bed if you wear a breather for your sleep apnea. This is not how you want to make into television.
6) Lots of inputs, front and rear, trilingual. It’s important that you be able to insert plugs in 3 languages.
7) Occasionally picture will shut off and sound will still work, cool down, and then come right back on. This is the provenance of the model name Ol’ Down. It’s a feature that engages when it thinks you’ve been watching too much Survivor.
8 ) Did he mention it is rear projection coal colour?
9) It has wheels. These are also HD ready with progressive scan, PIP, digital convergence, lots of multilingual inputs, and also occasionally go down and come back up. No reason, they just do. They are also rear projection coal colour and speak 3 languages.
10) Comes with remote and user’s guide. Both also rear projection coal colour. Remote no longer purrs but will claw and try to wriggle out of your grasp when picked up. User’s guide will just go limp.
11) Will still work, but experience and past employers unspecified
It upgrades to a flatscreen, too.
Instead of the less-popular spherescreen.
Ventilation is not as good as a windowscreen.
MF, elebenty kabillion adores and one intarwebz for the Hotblack Desiato reference.
Thanks. I needed some gift ideas. Now if I just knew if it would match the decor.
This ad was clearly posted by Mojo Jojo.
I support Todd here. Sorry Steve-O, gotta support the lurkers.
Plus I think he’s right.
I read this more like DJ YouSuck at the local teeny drinkers club was reading it.

What, nothing on this from the perven? Must be Monday.
We’re still trying to figure out if Sparky is referring to the number or frequency.
We’re trying to figure out where the line starts…
My vote is “Yes”.
I love the fact that one common word can become a meme and take on a life of its own in less than a week here.
Oh yes, we can.
Yes?
ZT, drink this slice of coffee, it will cure zombie-ism. 8)
I get more input in front than rear.
What?
I get input only from the front and the rear is strickly output.
*Heading to my little corner.
I get more input from facial interaction.
What?
Lola, this week’s Grand Pooh-Bah of pervy lodge elebenty brazillion!
I love you guys. This kind of stuff is why I put up with my effing blackberry to enjoy YSaC at work.
(or is that “effing berry of color?)
I have no inputs. Well, south of the border, anyway. North, I’ve got the usual audio inputs on either side, optical inputs and air vents up front and speaker below that.
Huh – does that mean you want to talk about it?
I shouldn’t say this, and if I knew how to link to a seperate page to say it, I would, but…your “speaker” can be an input too.
Yeah, I’m already in the corner.
Wait, does this mean Mindfield only has eyes, ears, nose and mouth in Canada? I hope you’re in Canada, smiley-doggy, otherwise, how do you know what we’re saying?
I’m pretty sure the poster is trying to bulltame me, and I’m more than a little pissed off about it.
Stay away from my proximity!
But Bianchi, that phrase got you in the box today! It can’t be all bad. 8)
Oops. Consider me bulltamed.
For now…
Thanks, Windy. That is better. I had the strangest dream, I was looking for you, and then…
You’re welcome, Tank. I had to brew it special for a couple days. Yeah, I sort of missed a timely punch on Saturday, and Grampdaddy did not come back for his last night. I am thinking of hanging up the old brass knuckles. 8)
No! No, Windy! Never! I was there! I was on my way. I had a flat tire! I ran out of gas! I was held up by neo-nazis and the Illinois State Police! Four whole fried chickens! Honest Baby!, you gotta believe me!
LOL Okay, Grampdaddy, I’ll keep on keeping on. Thanks for the Blues Brothers references. Added a needed chuckle to my afternoon.
What’s with the sudden decrease in doors? I see alot of zeros and ones.
Today is binary door day.
Binary Door Day is IF’s 2 Live Crew cover band.
I thought it was Bi-Fold door day? My mistake….
I always imagined you were more of a tri-fold kind of guy, Gramps.
Cyber Monday. All our lurkers are off shopping for lacawates valtrus-sukas and truckloads of bees.
Don’t forget those red tables for sale that you can take for free!
Oh, cool! Starting Wednesday, I can sing I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas again.
I’m personally a fan of Dominick the Donkey.
And before I hear cries of “But I thought you were Jewish!”, I maintain that celebrating Christmas no longer holds any religious significance, unless you’ve decided that Capitalism is your religion.
Agreed! And if you did your research on Swan Sisters, Horned God, and return of the Light, you’d also know it has little or nothing to do with the birth of anyone. Come on, the shepherds slept in the fields during the lambing, usually in April and May, or in the bottom half of the world, October or November. So neener.
Gee, or the scarifice made on the aponox; the riddle of the ever-green tree lit with candles; the rebirth of the house of the sun after the solstice; or that it was cold and dreary out and all those other folk are singin’ an’ dancin’ an’ cavortin’ and the wine and brandy would be warm and tasty . . .
This reminds me of something my sister says that always cracks me up. You know that song that goes”a child, a child, shivers in the cold. Let us bring him silver and gold”? Well, wouldn’t it be better to bring him a BLANKET?
*ahem*
Kindly don’t jump to conclusions/decisions/generalizations for everyone, Astro. While I see your point, I must politely and respectfully demur. In fact, lately I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care very much about the presenty part, and just like the church and family bits. (This is not to say I don’t like to give and receive presents; I love shopping for people! I just prefer to do so not at the directive of things like the jewelry-industrial complex.)
/cultural-religio corey-matt
I stated that merely the act of celebrating Christmas is no longer a religious thing by itself. It can be made into something religiously significant, but for the majority of people, I believe it no longer truly is.
Point totally taken, as it’s a good one. Thanks for the clarity. So, are you coming over on the 25th, or what? 🙂
While a lot of people see Christmas as a spiritual/religious time, the more “consumerism” driven revelers are the louder, more noticeable ones. Critics have been crying about the commercialization of Christmas for decades, if not centuries. Even the Charlie Brown Christmas special has a character bemoan it, which is a bit hypocritical.
Unlike Beesmas. I think the reason we see so few Beesmas ads is that Beesmas is, for everyone, all about the Llamanun and Ostrimu (BBUT). Sure, we put presents for one another under the truck, and we enjoy the mead and singing traditional Beesmas chanties. But that is all symbolic and all keep the true meaning of Beesmas foremost.
Psssst, Tankerbell, what is the true meaning? It’s not that humanity is doomed, is it?
Ones of my dogs is running around carrying a stuffed Manatee.
I couldn’t resist yelling out, “OH the huge Manatee!”
This would be a good excuse to make a family film about the true meaning of Beesmas. We could call it “Yes, Lola, there is a Llamanun.”
Hammy, I think I have a
girlcrush on you for that comment.I used to be pretty bitter about the holiday season, not just Christmas, because I found there to be too much hypocrisy in regards to the rude behavior that seems to come out in people at the exact time that “peace on earth and goodwill to all” starts being plastered on every available shop window.
I had a strange epiphany in 2006 while grocery shopping at a Target on Black Friday. Well, not exactly while I was shopping, rather in the parking lot, where I was involved in 4 fender benders, none of which were serious, and none of which were my fault. I gave each jackass who hit me a pass. I told them I was fine, my car was fine, and to enjoy their holiday season, however they wished to celebrate. All four previously rude, hurried individuals smiled, wished me a Merry Christmas and probably drove a little more carefully.
Yes, it was a slightly cheesy lesson, but I realized that my attitude affects the attitude of those around me, and if I want to be happy, I need to project this to everyone, even the jackasses who don’t pay attention when backing out of parking spaces. I try to practice the same all year long, but I’m not a saint, I get angry, so I make an extra effort between November and January when everyone’s stress levels are running a little high.
By the way: This shirt makes me think of y’all.
Me want!
But I don’t drink coffee, from where does my sarcasm come?
I have other sources of caffeine, that’s where mine comes from :-p
Osmosis.
@kelli:
I believe the term is “from whence cometh mine snark chasm?”
EB, I just put that on FB and sent links to coworkers. That site should pay you for advertising!
Or they could send me a free shirt :-p
Just spent the last hour going through the archives. Love it!
I’ve got nothing.
Mr. Peabody’s train seems to have hauled it all away.
Nothing left but to don some cohl and enter the wicker pyramid.
Or you could don some kohl and bring out those pretty eyes of yours.
I think he should don some rickles and some knots.
or um…
don weenow our gay apparel….
Brings new meaning to “fa la la la la, la la la la!”
So I went to edit the pervious comment, and it came up with a red bar that said I don’t have permission to edit the comment… even though there’s still time left as I type this…
Anyways, this is what I was going to add:
Addendum: Maybe it should be “Tra la la la la, la la la la!”
Interesting…
Quite, at least one pervious comment above.
But, my eyes are not purty today, just plain brown, blood-shot, and not enjoying sinus pressure nor any of the rest of today’s anti-joy.
Yeah… I didn’t notice that “typo” until after the time had run out :-p
So it obviously isn’t an impervious comment. 8)

That’s prolly ‘cuz it’s coal color. Brings out the color in my cheeks.
Waol down, and then come right back on.
That was my experience with AOL too. Constantly being kicked off, then signing back on, then kicked off, then signing back on, then…

Congratulations!
Congratulations Bridgete! All of your family are very proud of you, especially those of us who might need legal representation due to what we post here.

Many, many doors sent in congratulations.
