YSaC, Vol. 1026: This makes me sad, sadder than sad.

Bassonett – $25


This is in very good condition. my babby boy only used it a few times its white, it comes with two storage baskets that fit below the bassonett, it has wheels but doesnt roll to easly so you dont have to worry about you baby moving around when not in the room. from a smoke free home
please call or text me at ###-###-#### i dont check my email

I don’t have to worry about my baby moving around when he’s not in the room? Or when I’m not in the room? Or when neither of us is in the room? Or when we’re both in the room, but the bassonett isn’t in the room? I’m so confused. I think I’ll just sit here and play “Tears of a Clown” on this bassonett, while listening to my bassonett hound howl.

Thanks for the awful, Nelson!

    I am glad it “doesn’t roll to easly.” Easly is a terrible place, far worse than [location] or Ish.

      Yeah, Easly is a pretty rough neighbourhood. They’ll steal the hubcaps off your babby before it even stops rolling.

    How is babby sleeped? How bassonett get rolled?

    Also: Happy 4th to you ‘murikans! Our national day was last Friday (hence my disappearance) so now it’s your turn for some sparkly explody things.

        So dry here that all the far’wurks is canceled, including the professional shows.

        The various first responders are also very tired of grass fire calls, whether 1 or a thousand acres.

        The message going out for the last two weeks is to call-in any heard fireworks. Pretty much illegal in a 5 county area, and it’s been declared to be a “no leniency” weekend for enforcement. My fave quote being the constable who quipped “The house you might save could be your own.”

          In Tucson, it is legal to sell fireworks, but illegal to use them. Seriously.

          That makes perfect sense.

          Adores: 1
        • 2011 July 4

          Well, then you can buy a bunch of fireworks, go out to an open field with friends and family, and imagine a display of pyrotechnics far better than the ones you bought are capable of making.

        Hey, man, don’t Bogart that bassonett. You know the rules, rock, rock, pass!

    Not only is this from a smoke-free home, it is also from a grammar and punctuation-free home.

      Hey, now let’s have a bit of sensitivity here. My grammar died from punctuation wounds after she was mugged in Easly.

      Grammar took one look at her offspring’s get, and bolted for the witness protection program . . .

        Considering Gram would be related to Spark by blood or marriage, the Witless Protection Program seems the more logical place.

    doesnt roll to easly so you dont have to worry about you baby moving around when not in the room. from a smoke free home

    Don’t you just hate it when the babby drives the bassonett over to the end table and steals your cigarettes?

    What would Sparkette do if the wheels did roll? Construct a kickstand? Chain the bassonett to the wall? Chain the child to the wall and insist it recant it’s religious views?

      I love the Omen movies. Well, the first two, anyway. But whenever that dark operatic music started playing I always thought it sounded like they were singing “God save Damie-poo!”

      Adores: 3
    • 2011 July 4

      If Sparkette was a male Sparky, she wouldn’t need to construct a kickstand. Men are born with them. Can I watch the fireworks from the corner?

    Is this babby from The Omen? That is the only way a babby could move enough to create enough momentum to move its bassonett.

    Clearly Sparkette does not grasp the point of an email account.

    • 2011 July 4

      email? How is email? Is like femail?

      Adores: 3
      • 2011 July 4

        I think it might be like shemail.

        Adores: 1
        • 2011 July 4

          Shemail – n. A type of chainmail the covers approximately ten percent of a female character, leaving most of her vital areas exposed to lethal attacks. Provides slightly more protection than total nudity while keeping a PG type rating.

          You forgot: Is so tight that it probably damages the sensitive areas beneath every time the female character moves. Ow.

    “This is in very good condition.” If Sparkletina had only added to call for more info, and stopped there, the ad wouldn’t be here today. On YSaC. Being ridiculed. By llama-durps, smiling pups, and African gray bounty hunters.

    I’m picturing a chubby Far Side-esque”babby squished into a musical instrument case. Perhaps two cups of tea isn’t enough this morning.

      Dunno, Bass-O-Net sounds like a fishing accessory which would not roll so very well, and into which babby could only fit a few times . . .
