baby seat thingie – $7


not sure what its called

“Yes – I am looking to sell… how you say?… baby seat.”
“Um. Baby Seat.”
“Yes, baby seat. How do you say that?”
“Baby seat.”
“Yes. What is that called?”

…sigh.

Thanks for the link, Mackenzie!

    Seat thingies are cute when they’re young, but they get aggressive when they hit adolescence. Beware of a teenage seat thingie with roid rage, and remember the adults caused all kinds of problems for the Ottoman Empire.

      As babies, seat thingies may look as though they’ll make great pets, but as they get older, people find that they can no longer take care of them, so they release them into the Everglades.

    Poor sparkii, foiled by auto-correct, it is certainly cowled, it beaus the pall of doom, Doom! All of Thingie shall tremble ere the omens and portents of Babby are satisfied.

    Baby seat thingies are called diapers.

      Or what you find in the diapers. Maybe like dingleberries.

        Or maybe he meant a ding-a-ling.

    Here’s an example of punctuation making a difference:

    Baby seat-thingie

    or

    Baby, seat thingie

    or

    Baby-seat thingie

    They are, a diaper, an ass, and a car seat (or a Bumbo seat, or anything that holds a baby in a seated position) respectively.

    Two could, conceivably, be related or used together.

    Am I overthinking this?

    Yes?

    Okay, then I’m going to say that Sparkyette here is trying to sell her thongs.

      Is it a baby’s ass or a hole in the ground? I can’t tell.

    Ah, I can help. It’s called Ralphie, and it enjoys being scratched behind the carrying handle. Some day it hopes to grow up to be an aircraft carrier.

      I will take that bet, and raise you many-years-past-the-expiration-date Crisco.

      As an aside, I have found out firsthand that Crisco does indeed go bad.

    There are some days when YSAC is an amusing diversion, something I check during naptime when the six kids in my care are sleeping or having quiet time.

    And then there are days when I can’t even find it funny because Sparky / Sparkette’s Massive Case of Raging Stupids just make me clutch my poor head in rage.

    This is one of those days. Clearly I need more coffee slices.

    Oh! to buy it from Sparky – its only $7. It would be worth it to release the thingy into the wild and let it breed.

      It sounds like a lovely idea, but you have to remember that we keep them in captivity to control their numbers. If you let them have their freedom, we’ll be overrun with baby seat thingies in no time. Just imagine them roaming the streets in feral packs, knocking bins over, attacking helpless foxes. No natural predators, you see.
