pool table and some ass – included


full size 8 foot slate table and two ques and balls and rack included

Oh great. Let’s see where Dan goes with this…

All I can say is – you folks got off easy. I’m sure it’ll only get worse in the comments. Just remember – we used “nice rack” yesterday. Thanks, sd!

    Some ass included.
    Does this mean the guy selling comes with it?

      [pool table corey]
      You really need 5′-0″ clear all the way around a pool table. So, you need to ad 10′-0″ to the length & width for the space needed.

      Which means, a “full size” pool table–5×10–needs a 15′-0″ x 20′-0″ space, which can be difficult to fit in a 11-12′ x 22′ (former) garage.

      This table is probably 4′ x 8′–a size often referred to as a “quarter” table, for the number of quarter (coin) operated tables of that size found in places selling adult beverages.

      For our UK/Commonwealth compatriots, “pool” is similar to “snooker” except for using a smaller table, and only 15 object balls. Those balls are enumerated, and have seven unique colors–7 solid; 7 white with a stripe of color; and the #8 in solid black. The tables are often fitted with a coin-operation box, that, for a couple of shillings, releases those orbs for aligning in a triangluar rack to setup for play. As each ball is “sunk” (or “potted”/”pocketed”), a series of tracks in the table collects the balls into the coin-operated queue.

      This is a source of a great deal of drinking, angst, boastfulness, avarice, lust, and gluttony–one thing to have down to the public house; quite another to have within one’s home.

      Maybe Sparky was trying to sound edjumacated and was trying to spell queue(s). You know, one for balls and one for racks.

        I have found that the queue for the balls is shorter than the queue for the racks.

      Given that real/serious/knowledgeable players are rather picky about the length and weight of the pool cue [sticks] they use, Spark’s lack of specificity embraces the the Latinate sense of que, qui, ques, et al rather sublimely–if, almost certainly, inadvertently.

      (My two-piece stick is a 42″ 20oz; I used to have a 44″ 23½oz “breaker”, but, well, there was this woman . . . )

        Was minding my own business–like I always do–was some beer, some pool shootin’, an ordinary sort of night. Then, there was this woman, and things happened, directions were confused . . . only concrete thing afterwards was that the custom hickory cue-stick was not to be found.

      I love the weasel. My mother has a few strange taxidermy animals hanging around her place that would fit right in with that blog. Her friend gave her a raccoon with part of the fingers chewed off so it looks like it is flipping people the bird, and she recently acquired a very large, very OLD stuffed grizzly bear that my brother likes to get into mock fights with. Sometimes Grandfather Bear fights back though. Mom stood up too quickly beside him the one day, and got claw marks down the side of her face. She still loves the old guy, though.

    I think it’s some sort of code. Sparky is either selling sex or seeking sex. Possibly with a hermaphrodite donkey considering both balls and rack are included.

    Frankly, I haven’t got a cue.

    Maybe ass isn’t really ass.
    Maybe ass is short for something.
    Assorted things
    Association (home owners’)
    Assembly required
    Assassins (we did have some ninja furniture in a previous ad)
    American Sparky snarkers
    Maybe we just don’t understand this person.

      Possibly matt. I thought Sparky was trying to abbreviate “accessories” and failing, but I could be wrong.

        So Sparkaphrodite just went with “ass”. Cuz why embarrass yourself in being spell-check challenged and at least try, when you can just use the all-encompassing “ass” abbreviation.

          So “ass” is an all-encompassing abbreviation?

          “Hi, my name is Ass. Johnson.”

          “We bought balls, cues, ass. you know, the works!”

          “Signed, Hugh Ja, Ass.”

          I like it! Simple, easy to remember.

          I’ve seen it used for “associates” way too often in my line of work. I had ass-umed he meant ass-embly. But that’s what you get when you assume.

        You are probably right. I tried to spell accessories starting with ass and my brain retracted out of reach and I couldn’t use it anymore.

        (I had to put a bucket over my head and sing frog kissin to coax it back out)

          No, I don’t know why I’m reminded of that line.

          I often don’t know why I do most of the things I do.

          It scares me more than a little that I, also, just assumed Sparky used “ass” to be a short form of “accessories”, not considering the spelling.

        [ebay speeling corey]
        Sadly, in my long long tour on eBay, far far too many people are convinced that the word is speelt “assessories” even when that misspelling either hides the auction from Search or gets the listing yanked by the listing nannies.

        Much in the same way that anyone searching for flags needs must also search under “falg,” or fishing tackle requires the Boolean “(reel,real,reele)” and/or “(tackle,tackel,takel,takkel,tackl,takkle)”

        Pretty much any search term with an “ie” or “ei” or “el” or “le” spelling needs that Boolean “or” search. <sigh>

      [corey]I think it’s “assorted” in some sparkified form. And while it could have been a matt, OMV you’d have needed to sound a bit more self-righteous and affronted. It came off as more of a corey to me.[/corey]

    Many years ago when I first started at my present job, I was responsible for compiling a company phone directory. It was a tedious job that required me to abbreviate names, titles, etc to fit on the half sheets. Usually the thing was out of date as soon as it was distributed and I’d start all over again – 3 times a year. Now it’s all online. Anywhoooo…At some point one of our staff was given the glowing title “Manager of Quality Assurance” I was unaware of the change in her title and when the directory came out, she was identified as Manager of Quality Ass. Fortunately the woman had a fabulous sense of humor. She had fake business cards, certificates to hand out, and assorted fun stuff. And of course, everyone would joke about how they wanted her job. I miss her.

      It is my understanding that many of the distaff set have that job title, you will pardon the expression, thrust upon them, and universally by legions of the unqualified.

      Or, to paraphrase an outspoken Dame, “It’d be a lot easier if “minutemen” just all wore tricorn hats.”
