2001 dale heart sir nascar
I have a Dale heart sir NASCAR for sell worth over 300 dollars taking offers don’t low ball me please call or text only at ########## thanks
Um. I wouldn’t even THINK of low-balling you on this item. Especially after you called me “sir.” But what, pray tell, is a “Dale heart?”
Probably this:
Incidentally, if you want to see people who OUGHT to know what the hell they’re doing with Photoshop making stuff that’s even worse than the crap I throw together, check out our current sponsor, “Photoshop Disasters.”
Thanks, Christen!
It will look good next to my lacawates valtrus-suka.
P.S. Has anyone here played Mad Gab? Some of these Craigslist posts are like that.
Is that like Mad Libs? I’ve played those lots of times!
Ostrimu(BBUY) – shouldn’t that be “pray tell” and not “prey tell”?
A prey tell is when your Chicken Kiev is giving away your bad hand.
Forgive them Ostrimu (BBUY), for they know not what they do.
WE SHOULD NOT QUESTION OUR LEADER! It’s blasphemy! We’ll be punished, I tell ya! All are punished!
For never was a story
That was so sad
Than this of a Sparky
That typed so bad
Aw, crap – am I gonna get struck by lightning again?
Your avatar pic is disturbing feMm. I keep hearing him screech, “you kids, get off my lawn! Is my oatmeal done?”
*squints at screen* Am I the only one who has it spelled correctly?
It’s bothering me too. I look like I need dentures. I need to change it.
(I think you meant to link to psdisasters.com…)
I tried to edit it, but I need a password, and password didn’t work. Maybe I should have tried swordfish!
Fixed. Oops. We suck at linking to our very generous sponsor.
Which is quite in character for the collective “us”. Nothin’ but love for ya PSD!
So Dale Sr.’s ashes are in a Care Bear? That doesn’t seem right. Unless the family is going to give the bear to a vicious attack dog and let the dog rip and shred and scatter the ashes all over a race track. That would work.
I like Dale Jer better than Dale Sir.
Well Dale Heart Sir Bear looks like he’s protecting any low balling he may have.
I don’t know that Sparky knows that low balling isn’t what he thinks it means.
Well, obviously, this Dale failed to earn his heart*!

Every time a Sparky misspells a word, a Careless Bear gets its heart!
OT-ish, if you haven’t discovered this web comic, here’s your chance!

For those in the YSaC audience who are not gearheads (i.e. motorsports fans, specifically, NASCAR fans), the following may be of assistance.
Dale Earnhardt Sr. (29 April 1951 – 18 February 2001) was a legendary figure in the history of NASCAR (National Association of Sports Car Automobile Racing). He had a no-nonsense style, and a reputation for aggressiveness on the track, which led to his monicker “The Intimidator.”
He was a driver that fans were unequivocal about–they either adored or loathed him. But, he had fans in legion, and this largely before all of the races in the season were televised, and when many were only available on regional AM radio.
He had an impressive 7 championship titles. He drove for Richard Childress Racing in the black-painted GM Goodwrench car bearing the number three for a number of years.
At the 2001 Daytona 500, with DEI (Dale Earnhardt Incorporated) teammates Mike Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. leading, Dale, Sr., (still driving for RCR) was involved in a wreck which sent his car into the wall, head-on, at around 160mph.
Dale Earnhardt, Sr., having died on the track and for his impressive racing record has garnered near-mythic status among some fans. Almost to the point where the memorabilia merchandise is near iconic. (One of the lesser versions of this being the winged-three decal seen on vehicles.)
As is the case with so many obsessively-collected items, a certain amount of “whack” is always just simmering below the surface, just awaiting the right trigger to erupt upon the unwary.
The astute observer will note how, even despite the clear auto-correct fail Sparky has in his ad, he has failed to even name the item for sale.
Hope that helps.
[/corey]
Failed? He made it perfectly obvious that he had a Sir for sale.
A “sir”?
Oops, just now occurs that Sparky’s auto-correct (or Voice-to-text) might have led astray.
Perhaps this is an Airedale (dog) sire (breeding male) for sale? Perhaps Sparky sneezed and AKC rendered as “NASCAR” (which I’ve heard rendered from NAY-skeer to Nuhs-Skuh to NAhs-kaHR).
Dat’s very deefern’t doncha kno? Woof! Woof!
Egads, I now have a self-inflicted earworm of imagined songs based around “c’ouere de chene” or “corazón del perro”–a result of one too many days listening to foreign radio stations, no doubt.
Yeah, I honestly have no idea what a “Dale heart sir NASCAR” was meant to be… Perhaps I don’t have the necessary context.
OT: Nearly typed NASACAR there. THAT would be something. “Aaand… the challenger: Challenger! At nearly Mach 21, does Buzz stand a chance? We’ll check back in 94 minutes when they pass overhead again. ”
I would actually love to see that. I bet they’d plaster sponsor stickers all over those insulating tiles.
Used to be a handy way to collect stuff for “Junior Nation” (how the legion of Dale Earnhardt, Jr. fans are known) was to use a logical OR search in ebay, thus:
(ernhart,urnhart,earnheart,earnheartd)
These auctions were under-subscribed for the atrocious spelling (and lazy searchers), letting a body fin 8 and/or 88 merchandize/collectibles on the cheap.
The Junebug fans were happy with the cool 1/24 diecast car, or the full-season collectables or the like. (I still think they missed a mark by not releasing a diecast of the ’09 Monster Mile car that finished in the top ten with 3 of 4 fenders ripped off.)
Because I like all of you here, I braved an eBay search for >$300 Dale, Sr., items.
It seems there is a great range of items selling in this price range.
From autographed press passes, and framed signed cards, and a number of precious-metal die-cast cars. Oh, and to include a used, signed pit crew uniform, too. So, it’s not as if there is only one thing going for three hundred in this market.
Ok, I had to do it, but a search for “dale heart NASCAR” does have results, mostly for costume jewelry, and nothing over $60.
Sparky fails again.
Well, that’s 23 minutes of your life that you’ll never get back again.
Hey, I’m an eBay pro from long back (’99)–the first search took about 2 minutes to set up (mostly waiting for Advanced Search to load). Then, it was scrolling the pages of results–not much time spent looking at any of the individual listings.
Did spend about three minutes at the “Dale Hart Sir NASCAR” search, if mostly in following “other possible matches” combinations.
So, it was more like seven minutes, total–and in a separate tab, so as to not be separated from my YSaC people <G>
Maybe this is their cute way of saying that Dale loves Mr. Nascar.
Or will love Mr. Nascar for $300.
Sir Nascar. It means Mr. Nascar was knighted.
Considering that the rightfully legendary Richard Petty has an honorary doctorate, finding a successful enough subject of the Crown to be honored is not that big a reach.
Although, now that Aussie Marcos Ambrose is driving the #9 for Richard Petty Motorsports, he might have a better shot at the championship.
Oh, and that Arpin fellow who is in the Truck Series, he’s from Canadia or some such.
The real question, Cap’n, is how many of those cool Dale heart sir toilet paper roll covers did you buy while doing this “research”?
I’m just curious, not bustin’ your chops. I bid on the 3-pack of Dale sir underoos myself. Keep your fingers crossed. Won’t go an obo over 300. If I get them, I’m hoping one of you guys will help me with the low balling. Because unless that means having a low number of said appendages, I’m out.
Well, I was sore tempted to bid on the pit crew uniform, but the currency calculator does not seem to accept cans of tuna or obo’s firm or soft <irritation, mock>
I thought guys liked being low balled or high balled or just plain balled.
They’d prefer $300 worth, anyway.
Y’all are a-mockin’ the greatest of the great legendaries. Them NASCAR gods will not be pleased. If’n I was you I’d jus’ take ma car and run it into the nearest tree snd git it over with afore them gods ‘zact their revenge on yer azz.
Thanks, CJ, now I’m fighting the nearly irresistible urge to drink warm beer and flash my sweater hams to a crowd of strangers.
Ed and Llama derp, Your 24 hours of fame (plus or minus for DST and stuff) is now over. Hope you enjoyed it. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Kannapolis!
