YSaC, Vol. 1371: The time to hesitate is.. well, now.
2012 October 29
First off, I didn’t even know Craigslist HAD a section for “Activity Partners.” But it does. And this was posted in it:
lets light up fire
pleae e-mail with steel……
ages 18-29
i love to watch movies online, kick my brother’s butts in video games.( To be able to kick their butts is me being extremely optimistic any particular one day I actually might.) and geek it with reading books whenever we have the time.
I’m sorry – are you actually looking for a playmate to come commit arson with you? Are you looking for steel because you just happen to have a big piece of flint lying around and need someone, chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter fashion, to compliment your pyromaniacal urges? Truly, the mind boggles.
Thanks, Jodi!
pleae e-mail with steel……
I have a plea, learn what an ellipsis is.
ages 18-29
And odd demographic spanning 11 years; college & graduate students.
i love to watch movies online,
Would that be hulu, netflix, and the like, or pirated videos ?
Barring a very large monitor set-up, that’s not excatly a “sharing” activity.
kick my brother’s butts in video games.( To be able to kick their butts is me being extremely optimistic any particular one day I actually might.)
Note the plural.
Butts? Going around kicking over your brothers’ cooperage larger than a keg and smaller than a barrel is probably why they will not play with you any more.
So, what you are shopping for is a video-game bully you can trump your brothers with? Still back to not much of a sharing activity.
and geek it with reading books whenever we have the time.
Y’know, Spark’ one of the things I like best about reading a good book is that I get to do that alone, so I can focus on the characters, the action, the facts presented.
It’s not the sort of thing where I place my finger on every word and sound it out.
And, some of my geekier tomes are not audio-friendly;
(defun FG_subr (a b / fre fra frt)
(if (and (listb a)(atom b))
(foreach k a (FH_subr b))
(princ “\nEither a is not a list or B, your brothers have kicked your butts–Sparkii = FAIL”)
);end if
);end defun
Pretty gripping for me; not so good for dramatic reading.
Maybe Sparky wants to start a book club.
Ah, the common Lisp.
Quite, “Lost In Stupid Parentheses”
(if really more AutoLISP than CLisp)
But Capn, I think one of the brothers may have the advantage in the couch potato realm, which might help with the video games. Before he says ‘their butts’ he says ‘brother’s butts’. That would indicate multiple butts on the same brother, right? Maybe he shifts from butt to butt for comfort during his playing.
Btw, I got a gravatar but it’s not showing up. I made it PG rated. Should it have been otherwise?
I’m not seeing it either. Maybe try switching it to a G rating?
There we go. Changed it to G, cleared the caches and restarted the browser. Don’t know what fixed it, but it works anyway. ETA: And thanks for the advice Ghostcat.
Well, sadly, we must factor ins sparkii propensity to pluralize via appending apostrophe s to words.
We can anagram for weeks attempting to plumb the negative depth which is sparkii intelligence. And, we will only suffer for it.
Yes, sadly I will have to agree that he is more likely to have an overage of punctuation than butts.
My thoughts are that he must be a butt-head, ergo two butts, one to hold him to the couch, the other to hold his brains…
Drmk pointed out to me that this person is likely interested in finding someone with whom to ingest some sort of controlled substance.
And then the books REALLY come alive.
And has probably already started.
Duuuude, you’ve got like, 12 butts there, bro.
*Ding*
You’ve got ferrous metal!
Meh, I bet it’s just more pig-iron spam.
I don’t wanna grow up,
I’m a Geeks R Us kid
There’s a million games and videos
That I want to kick some butt at.
If you like losing, I’m very optimistic
That we could have soo much fun with
Halo or Minecraft, maybe Sims 3.
Oh boy! Let’s read!
Well LL if he’s playng Sims 3 at least he won’t be getting his butt kicked.
And if Sims III, only for all the nekkid . . .
Such a confusion.
Something about
A lime-nom sleeping in the jungle tonight
[brothers chorus: A-Wheem-a-wack A wheem-a-whack [yur buttz)]
But the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle
Disssolves into the Outback, where the Philosophy Department of the University of Wallamaloo takes up the chorus
And sings about drinking from steel cans
And reading amazing pizzants
O Renee Descartes, we’re kicking y’r butts, y’w*nker (Crack Two!)
In the jungle, the naked jungle, something sleeps tonight . . .
So that’s what the kids are calling it this week, eh?
CJ, I was just getting used to putting the hat on the badger! I will never be hip at this rate.
Just don’t break one… that badger can get frisky.
if he keeps that up, he’ll have his library card revoked
“Kicking my brother’s butts at video games” is Super Secret Code for “Still living with the parental units.”
I really wish e. e. cummings would quit using my interwebs like that. Now he’ll be all hyper and impossible to put to bed. (sigh)
Better get the Nyquil. Heeeerrreee, e. e. C’mon now, boy. I have treats!
Did you leave a trail of punctuation to lure him in?
Huh, look what I got in my email this morning.
Do you like gladiator movies?
In the same way that I liked the Trancers movies.
Perhaps that was meant for your sister? {feigns innocence}
Steel crazy after all these years.
Pleae help me light up fire,
Brother’s butts keep burning
But they’re slowly learning
That I didn’t start the fire,
No I didn’t seek it
But I tried to geek it
Long ago, in a carnival far, far away, a geek would bite the head off of a live chicken.
Now Sparky thinks that chewing on a digest is the same thing.
How times have changed.
Maybe he had problems digesting the live chicken head.
Well, we know what happens when, while reading all things Walpolian, one becomes essurient for cheesy commestible…
There once was the ghost of a cat,
All day in the Snark box she sat.
She said with a grin
You must all come on in!
For I long for your company, stat!
Punchity Punch Punch, ghostie!
Good morning, Firefox!
