YSaC, Vol. 1235: The Bangos were a great band.

Drum,bangos,and tampering – $20


Dont no much about them if interested call or text ###-###-####

Now, it’s easy to laugh here, but tampering isn’t something you just start off being good at. It takes practice. You’ve got to start small – go into your medicine cabinet and just chip a few small cuts in the plastic wrap around a bottle of Flinstones chewables. Then work your way up to stealing the occasional TJ Maxx circular out of your neighbor’s mailbox.

After a lot of dedication and hard work, you might be ready for something really challenging, like an airplane smoke detector. Or even the holy grail of tampering…

Mattress tags.

Thanks for the link, Jacob!

    I’m guessing here that “tampering” was the only correctly spelled word. Sparkdude probably had “drugs” that he didn’t no
    know too much about.

    Well, live and learn. Or not.

    P.S. Hey, where is everyone? Was there a Thursday night out I didn’t know about?

    My utility company charges $125 for each instance of tampering. It’s very obvious Sparky ‘don’t no much about them’.

    Drums and bangos are what you get after tampering.

    If Spark’ meant the paired percussion instrument, then “bango” (bang-go) is an evocative term to use.

    If Spark’ means a double-potted string instrument, well, that’s just sad. (Though, it might be a handy term-of-art for a “3 string” banjo (in the way that a 6-string is appelled “gitjo” in the musical trade).

    Luckily, no one has combined tambourine and banjo, as that would be tampering the bango that would get a person sentenced to Narfle the Gar’fok.

    And now, such mass consumption as will be, being complete, it is out among the bluntskulls in the humo-carb commuting behaviour.

    It is not the correct spelling

          Spagetti’s in my hair,

          Spagetti’s in my hair,
          and they’re heading for my mound.

          But my bangs look really awesome,
          Mama did a real good job.
          She should have cleaned out the bowl some.
          Now I am wearing a blob.

          Spagetti’s in my hair,
          and I’m running through the town.
          Spagetti’s in my hair,
          And the birds are bearing down.

          I don’t know why they peck me,
          Peck me on my head.
          All of my friends, they reject me.
          They’d rather laugh at me instead.

          Spagetti’s in my hair,
          I know my tale is wrong.
          Spagetti’s in my hair,
          so I’m not finishing this song.

          [Corey] “Being in the corner” is not a clause but a gerund phrase (to which one may be sentenced). Maybe we’d better put a grammar book in the corner. It will probably have a page of spelling demons like “privilege” for you, too.[/Corey]

          I really couldn’t figure out what Sparky was trying to sell along with those drums, but with a preschooler in the house, I’d pay $20 not to have percussion instruments around! The “weal beryl,” on the other hand, would be nice to have.

      The box tinder says, “I suppose you are here to see Jack.”
      The bear dog asks, “Do I know Jack?”
      The Gecko asks, “Is Jack insured?”
      The thong boy asks, ” Is Jack in jail for lifting a car?’

        Story time.

        Long ago, in a city not so far away,
        I went into a Joke in the Box for lunch.
        I ordered a burger and fries by the way,
        It was way past my time for a munch.

        I waited and waited for my meal to show.
        Others came in and did order.
        They got their meals and proceeded to go.
        Maybe I should have ran for the border.

        My patience grew thin as I waited some more,
        This place here is wasting my time.
        But patience is key, it’s part of my core,
        I would try to be more sublime.

        Ah, finally it came by manager, great.
        I could have composed a sonnet.
        I’m really sorry about the wait.
        Well, why don’t you put some more on it!

        (The manager looked at me funny, like, huh?)
