YSaC, Vol. 1212: Time to get your crayons and your.. *thump*

2012 March 20

Cheap photographer


IM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE MY FAMILY PICTURE. SO I CAN PASS OUT TO MY FAMILY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

Let’s see. What can Sparky here say? We need something inspirational, yet plain-spoken, heartfelt, but majestic, simple, yet deep. Something along the lines of, “Hey there family! I got you these…” *thump*

Thanks for the post, Mike!

    And, tonite, on the Halmark channel for Zomb
    the tragic story of how Lennnnuugh was finally able to overcome his speech impediment and express to his family his need for “Brraaaiii-<kaBoom!!”> before passing out to the thereafter.

    Maybe he can use the same guy that photographed the Narcoleptics Anonymous annual BBQ and Burn Treatment gathering.

    If she wants to pass out laughing, I can show her my family photo album free of charge. Why oh why the plaid pants, Mom?

          Get a room you two! Preferably one with a corner!

          AFTERTHOUGHT: A room without a corner would be pretty silly. Unless it was a round room. You know, one of those rooms where you put a blonde and tell her there’s a penny in the corner?

          *walks off, mumbling and rambling to self*

          “blonde rooms, pennies with corners, do I need to get my script filled again?”

          Round rooms do have corners, an upper one around the ceiling and one around the floor.
          So, do I hang around the upper corner or lay around the lower?

          Yeah, hold on and let me get another video camera too. We should get a shot from the bottom of the stairs while we’re at it.

    You have to watch out for those cheap photographers since they’ll photograph pretty much anything.

    Remember, when you hire a photographer you aren’t just just getting your own photographs, but those of ever person he’s photographed before you.

        They sell them where I bought my catulator: Uncle Bubba’s Catulator Sparky Conversion Chart Check Cashing and Pawn Shop. And Bubba’s wife, LouReen, makes a mean sloppy joe. If you ask her all sweet like.

    I don’t know what to say either. Why pass out to your family, when you can pass out to a picture of your family. Then you don’t have to put up with “hey, you fainted” yes, I told you I was going to, or “are you all right?” no, I’m only half right, the other half is what’s left. Also, “you should lie down.” Is passing out good? “no, not really” Well, passing out caused me to lie down, let me stand up, that would be good.

      Cardboard cutouts of a family are a good compromise. Life-size with no dirty socks/underwear to pick up after.

        And real family members rarely let you draw mustaches and eye-patches on their faces.

    As a thought are we sure that Sparky is from this century? He could be from 16th Century when the stays were so tight you kept on passing out all over the place and with the added mystery of capturing peoples’ images without the use of paper and paint and brushes – the shock, forsooth, would make any gentleman pass out.
    On second thoughts, he’s a dork.

      Sparky’s just one of those people who thinks taking a picture will steal one’s soul… he’s preparing properly for the aftermath of the One True Family Photo.

    NO MORE PICTURES!
    If a picture is worth a kiloword,
    then pictures are the end of prose.
    Ever wonder why there are so many cons nowadays?

    Obviously Sparky is the rare Shouting Fainting Goat. He somehow got a hold of a computer, and instead of eating it, decided to put out the call to preserve the image and memory of the extremely endangered creatures. The fact that he doesn’t know what to say emphasises the sad, sad plight of the Shouting Fainting Goat; he doesn’t know what else is left to say about his dwindling species. Poetic, really.

    On the other hand, he’s probably endangered ’cause he’s such a cheapskate.
