YSaC, Vol. 1246: Trannys, by popular demand.
Don’t get excited – this isn’t what you think:
Need tranny work done!!! trade for small suv or car! – $1
Hi, I am in some desprate need of finding someone who works on transmissions. I have a 93 ford taurus and I just put a lot of money into to the car and now the tranny is going out. I only work as a part time bus driver so do not have much money up front for the work. I am looking to have it rebuilt or a used one put in and would be able to make payments to pay off the work. I have 2 young children and have to have a way to get to and from work, school and girl and boy scouts! I will consider trading in the car for a another of a newer year with minimal work needed or for a small suv. I love the car but have to fiugre something out and fast. PLEASE NO SCAMMERS, ONLY RESPOND IF YOU CAN TRULY HELP ME!!!! YOU MAY ALSO TEXT ###-###-### tHANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY
So, wait. Sparky here will generously consider trading in their car for a better one? He will make the supreme sacrifice of allowing someone to give him a good car, in exchange for that person hauling off his transmissionless deathtrap? How incredibly generous.
Somehow, I think some sort of picture involving Willy Wonka is appropriate here. However, actually MAKING the meme picture is so last week. Just sub referencing it is all the cool kids are doing these days.
And.. I’m sorry. I don’t think I can truly help you.
Thanks for the post, Katya.
My tranny goes out all the time. She’s too fabulous to stay at home.
Whew! For a second I thought Sparky was offering to trade his two kids and their scout troops for a tranny that wanted to step out.
I’ve really got to sleep more at night.
This is soooo right up the original Corey’s alley with a dollop of Matt, too <G>
Spark’ has some serious problems here with this ad.
Not just the pouring out of their life-story, either (it’s a bit more Maury than Car Talk).
See, there’s this ‘thing’ transmissions–like trannies–are not all the same. After all, parts for a Ford C-4 will be a poor fit on a Bentley; similarly one cannot expect to use M. Manson to repair RuPaul, either . . .
Unless Spark’ is wanting to trade a repairable “Some Like it Hot” for an early Eddie Izzard, perhaps.
I have a 2001 Pontial Sunfire 5 speed stick. There’s nothing wrong with it but I would gladly trade it for a newer, better model. Please let me know. No scammers please!
You shouldn’t be making fun of people like this. Obviously this person has a lot on their plate, with two kids in school and scouts and he has to work. I’m sure you don’t know what it’s like not to have reliable transportation, but in case you didn’t notice, the economy is not in very good shape right now and people just can’t go and buy a new BMW just because they feel like it. I’m sure it took a lot of courage for this person to ask for help like this in a public place like Craigslist, and you’re all just being negative about it. Maybe you should stop and realize that there might be people out there who actually have compassion for their fellow human beings and might help this person out. That’s just how I feel about it.

Good to see you here, D/DM/Matt!
Thanks, Windy. It’s good to be here. I’m glad to see everybody hasn’t forgotten about me since Hammy killed me near the end of last season.
Expect a really convoluted subplot that (almost) explains how I wasn’t really dead and how I got so good at kung-fu in such a short period of time.
I didn’t understand the thing with the polar bear, though.
It is killing me not to talk about that right now, but my contract says I can’t. What I can tell you is that, if you paid close attention to everything that was said, it is pretty obvious that Taco is not the father.
I knew it! I’ll bet I know who the father really was, but as for the mother…well, that’s anybody’s guess right there. It’s truly a mystery.
What I have to know is this: How did they hide a whole village from the rest of society for that long, and was it worth it?
It was all an elaborate dream sequence orchestrated by the man in the Members’ Only jacket.
Related: Way back when I was ten years old, my mother had a beat up old rambler that my oldest sister rolled down a hill and off a bridge. She had to wire the driver door shut. She asked someone she knew and got a newer, better car. So that does work.
That’s okay. I don’t even want to do the minimal work required to convince you to consider trading your worthless car for my better one. My loss, I’m sure.
I think “posting an ad on CraigsList” counts as minimal work.
I have this old $1 bill, it’s torn into three pieces; none of which are large enough to render it usable as legal tender. I’m willing to trade it for any working $100 bill. It’s quite possible that you could fix it with a little tape, but I don’t have that kind of time due to little Billy’s soccer practice.
:photocopies $1 one hundred times, runs copies through shredder, places in baggie with glue stick:
Here you go, Taco – $100 you have to work for.
Ghostie, that sounds like at least moderate work, not minimal work.
Hmmm, let’s see now… His car is broken down. He has kids he needs to get to places. And he works as a bus driver.
Professor, I’ve solved it!
Have ex-boyfriend who is possible tranny, I am willing to trade for newer, better model. Time Lords preferred.
Justin Bieber is a newer tranny. Not sure yet whether he’s better or a Time Lord, though.
I think he’s a clone of Ellen Page.
…
It’s freaky how close the resemblance is.

I don’t know any trannys, I don’t work on cars, and I don’t have anything to trade except a slightly used, not tame at all, love bird names Spaz. But he’s yours if you want him.
(kinda related, kinda not)
In a tiny town next to my even tinier home town here in TN, a Gay Pride parade was held for the first time ever Saturday. I tried to get to it to show my support and to see if the folks screaming against it on the community blogs were protesting it in person, couldn’t make it. Sigh. I would have loved to see maybe a tranny flaunting it in front of a bunch of small town stiff necked folks. Heh.
Any tranny with the balls* to be in a Gay Pride parade in a small Southern town is more woman than I’ll ever be.
*:snerk:
I have a small SUV available; Sparky won’t have to worry about the transgression. Maybe we can fiugre something out.
Never mind; I just stopped in to see what condition my transmission was in.
I’m totally late, but:
That’s not what she said.
The kids are in scouts… doesn’t that mean they hike all the time?
There’s 2/3 of your problem solved right there.
As somebody who used to hike a lot, I can tell you that Scouts do hike all the time… much to the chagrin of people trying to hike and enjoy themselves at the same time.
/Grumpy backpacker who thinks “respect for nature and others” should be among the lessons that Boy Scouts are taught before letting them tromp through the woods
My son’s first scout hike, the leaders had him convinced it was downhill both ways. 8) LOL
Brer Fox, if you see this, come closer. Closer! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, RuPaul!
