YSaC, Vol. 1179: A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat!
country stuff
hi i sale country belts blink blink perses jewelry walets pictures sandlas and more my number is ## ### ## ## and the adress is #######.
“Hi!”
“Er, hello.”
“I sale country belts! Blink, blink, know what I mean, know what I mean?”
“Er, no.
“Country belts! You know… sandlas! Say no more, say no more!”
“I’m sorry, are you selling something?”
“Selling! Very good! Selling! Your wife – does she like perses?”
“Purses?”
“No. Perses! You know… WAAAAAGGHH!!”
“I’m sorry, you’re a very silly person, and I’m not going to talk to you any more.”
(If you’re not getting the reference, you can (and should!) immediately watch it here.)
I should also point out that the #s above are the exact order and spacing of the phone number given in the ad. There’s either too many, or not quite enough of them. Thanks for the post, Ross!
Ok, I puzzled out the rest of what he was trying to spell, but my best guess on the “blink blink” is “bling bling.” I know sale, sell and sail all sound the same, but I do wish people would try to remember which one they are supposed to use. Not much hope for that, though. No one on the internet can remember the difference between your and you’re, there and they’re, and a host of others. And how did Sparky manage to spell jewelry and pictures right when he got almost all the others wrong?
My peeve is when they can’t get too, to, and two rite. Yew no what I mean?
And do, due and dew
and you, yew and U
and know, no and noah
And ?, ! And &?

Homonyms R Wii.
Cell, they’re supposed to use cell. They should be charged with a blissdemeanor and put in a cell.
Ok, blissdemeanors only rate a fine, but still…..
/English corey/ who says Sparky got jewellery correct? /End of English corey?
Sparky seems to be selling various items commemorating the time that Perseus avoided Medusa’s gaze with his shiny shield, but the sun caused him to blink blink.
The sunlight reflected off of the bling bling and the buckles on those country belts is making me blink blink. Come to think of it, so is Sparky’s spelling.
There are not all that many firsts anymore but this marks the first time a Craigslist ad has batted its eyelashes at me.
You’re sexy and you know it. 8)
…Clap your hands…
How do I love thee, let me blink it to you in morse code. (Translated into Kilngon of course)
I’m assuming that the Kilngons are the pacifist cousins of the Klingons who walk around in sandlas and make pottery all day long.
No blinking for you!
Today is a good day to knit!
How about “Wuthering Heights” in semaphore code? Or “Julius Caesar” on an Aldis lamp?
Hey, this ad knows what it likes. wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Say no more!
I don’t think I could possibly add anything snarky after Dan’s Montey Python reference.
hi i sale dickshunairees, pecil pecil, pleeze purroose the paiges at ur leezure.
Do not rub the dickshunairees’ tummies.
And do not read that snark too quickly, pre-coffee.
hi spark i bie pursus 4 my wfie i give manys cash i has no jewlry what i give her she not wief yet but country belt mabeys?
Hmm…Any of you country gents want a “bling”-ed wallet? “Hey, Hank, that sure is a purdy wallet. And you sure have a purdy persed mouth too”
As long as the bling was shaped like the John Deere logo, I bet my brother-in-law would buy it.
Then do I have a necklace for him!
I’ve always wanted to buy a country! How much for a shiny, new Australia?
You can probably get a wonderful deal on a sunny Mediterranean country.
I’m tired of bailing out Greece. And that reminds me of the time the garbage disposal backed up.
[currency corey]
There is a thriving ‘market’ right now, if an exceedingly sketchy one, in bundles of Drachmas. The worry/speculation being that, if Greece defaults on its debts in euro, it will still have to have some sort of national currency. And, too many assume the Hellenic government warehoused the old currency in bulk quantity.
This, despite the open-source information clearly showing that the drachma notes were sent off for shredding and recycling. Or, that national currencies, when “revitalized” are always changed in appearance.
There are also tales of bundles of Lira being sold, largely in SE Asia against a possible failure by Italy (all the worse for some of those Lira being Turkish).
Apparently, there are Sparkii everywhere.

Psst *whisper* Dan, it’s ad not add
Taco, izzat you?
In some fairness, for Dan (BBuH) it is an additional Volume for YSaC.
Further, we must, in all fairness, allow for some amount of contact-sparkii to “rub off.” A condition for which “Big Pharm” has yet failed to produce a creme, salve, pill, tablet, or capsule to ameliorate (side effects may occur, see product documentation for details).
Fixed, thanks!
What do you get if you put a HamCan in the box?
I give up. What?
A misfit toy? Nobody wants to play with a Hammy in the box.
Little Hammies in about 9 months?
Belly rubs?
If you fertilize and water properly, you’ll get purty little sprouts in 6-8 weeks.
Good thing there’s no shortage of fertilizer here.
Anyone that does not get that reference would likely buy a dead parrot.
Or perchance work as an intestinal model. Though you can only do that once.
But then, you could get a long-running gig as Yorick.
Is it as runny as the fommage a la belle français Camembert?
Deer Bubba-Sparky,
We hear at the Winken, Blinken and Nod Corporation take acception to you’re use of “blink blink” to describe your magnifisunt blets, perses and other items.
Please let this ladder serve as notice to you to seize and desist such practices immediately.
Continuing to use “blink blink” violins our intellecshual property rites, and we will peruse all available legal opshins as a matter of redress.
Conversationally, if you wish to retrain our servers for the porpoise of riding ad copy for you’re business, we wood be most agreeable to discussing terminations.
If you have any questions, I can bee reached at the number blow.
With Deepest Sympathy,

AR’s red pen just ran out of ink.
Ouch.
*snort* “Blow”.
*smoke* “Pot”.
*sniff* “glue”.
*quit* “Amphetamines”
*huff* “aerosols”
I used to have that very picture as my pc wallpaper.
Dinsdale?
He nailed my head to a coffee table.
“…I was going to, until I noticed the lad with the thermonuclear warhead was, in fact, the local Chief Police Constable…”
He was a harsh man, but fair.
SHUT THE BLEEDING DOOR! Mother.
Gratuitous reference to Bike touring North Cornwall with Cloda Rogers and peril-adverse tomatoes.
That’s a very silly line.
Sit down.
Complaints? You got complaints? Well, let me tell you . . .
Arguments? Oh, that’s next door, in 12A.
I just had a moment of unintentional hilarity. The “OTHER SUCKING YOU MIGHT LIKE” box popped up with Taco’s avatar and a link to Vol. 1131: “Watch it wiggle!”
I keep forgetting that “sell” and “sale” sound about the same in some dialects of English. (Much like “cot” and “caught” do around here.)
And thanks for the reference link, too. I imagine that many of us who did get it, followed the link anyway. 🙂
Does she sell anything that isn’t misspelled?
Oh, pictures. Yes, those don’t require words.
The answer to the question is, “There is no spoon.” Thanks for playing, Hammy. Here’s your Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Country Belts!
