YSaC, Vol. 1430: It’s for lion down with.
2013 January 18
One of the most important things in writing a good Craigslist ad is being specific. Make sure that your potential buyer knows the details of your item.
TAC blanket – Lion – $50
This blanket is like new 77″ X55″ TAC blanket with lion motif. Machine washable 75% acrylic 25% Olefin. xxx-xxxx
Yep, it’s all in the details. Your buyer now knows exactly what size the blanket is, knows exactly what it’s made of and its care requirements, and knows that you spend your spare time watching Honey Boo Boo and eating paste.
Thanks, vassagox!
Not.a.lion and not.cotton and not.quite.new, oh my!
It is time now, Oh my Not.A.Lion friends, for us to gird up our loins (lions?) and hunt out those masquerading as members of our hallowed tribe, and slaughter them. We start by searching CraigsList. Happy eating, my lovelies.
Here’s another Not.A.Lion that, while not on CL, needs to go…
Dear Bombdude,
I hate you. When I am suffering night terrors tonight and for the next 3 years, I will be calling you to complain.
Sincerely,
Tankerbell
If it helps at all, Tank Girl, I knew Cat. Mike and I and the kids saw him at many local sci fi conventions. He was a really nice person. He passed away recently, and it’s kind of good to see this picture of him. Rest in peace, I hope he has come to terms with his physical form at last.
I’m not sure what a “TAC” blanket is, but I can’t help thinking the “TA” stands for “Tits Aside”.
“Tits Aside Covering”?
It’s CAT backwards.
Does that mean the blanket is wrong-side up?
Exactly. The lion side is on the bottom.
CAT = “Cast Tits Aside”?
If Grumpy cat were here he would say, “No!”
Cast Tits Aside = CTA
My confusion no doubt stems from wanting them to be together not cast aside willy-nilly (or even willy nelson).
The things dudes could accomplish if they’d stop thinking about boobs…
Someone say boobs?!?!
What?
Totally Awesome Cat Blanket.
Tea-Absorbent Clothing
Terrified Anderson Cooper
Telescope Allocation Committee
Two Angry Concertinas
This Ain’t Correct
Termite Anchovy Clumps
The Ancient Cthulhu
Taxi and Car
Textile-Acrylic Composite
A tactical blanket for confusing the anemone?
TActical butter Cannon?
PAM!
More likely: SCAT
Shorthand or misspelling for “attack” blanket? It does have a lion on it, after all.
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a good not.a.lion. Since I’m super bored at work and not.a.lion is one of my favs, this will be muchly appreciated! Thank the LlamaNun!!!
*curtseys*
No thanks, I already have enough TACky things.
This Not.a.Lion blanket would look very with my Fingerhut catalog paintings and my terra cotta cheese head.
Just don’t get it too close to the nacho fountain. Even though it’s machine-washable, cheese stains can be a beast to get out.
I sea what you did there and I’m not lion.
One of my favorite memes.
I recently had cause to seek out a charm in the shape of an ostrich. Most of the advertised items were actually pelicans, herons, or most often, Flamingos. We can haz not.an.ostrimu meme?
Only if you sell those on CL. 8)
100% Not.A.Lion. That is a blanket statement, but in this case it’s true.
Glad we got that covered.
Well, I didn’t want to be accused of fuzzy logic.
Yes. Lint-free logic is the only kind of logic we want around here.
With the number of cats in the Snark Lounge, you must go through a lot of lint rollers. (Or have an Alot of Lint Rollers.)
Only with Fuzzy Sapiens Windy. Only with Fuzzy Sapiens.
I accidentally 75% of the machine washable. Is this dangerous?
Very
Olé! (fin)
I wonder how you know which 75% is the machine washable part and which 25% you have to leave hanging out the top of the washer.
:points at picture:
It’s this bit right here.
Looks like dad has been moonlighting again. He’s the Not-a-Model for this.
I like how it’s square.
Wonder how much it runs in the Fingerhut catalog?
Catalog =/= Tagalog (which is not a GS cookie)
Refrigerator
“Wonder how much it runs…”
It doesn’t run, it’s a blanket…
I’m more concerned about the olefin. I mean, I gave up feeding my not.a.lion tunafish out of concern. I didn’t know I had to be worried about their use in blankets.
Olefin, that’s the stuff that gives you anal leakage, right?
No, that’s the actor who played Dracula in the 1992 Dracula movie.
The actor who played Dracula in the 1992 Dracula movie gives you anal leakage?
Yeah, he was Gary Olefin/Gary Olestra/Gary Oldman*
*Too many Garys to list
Giving us the information on the fabric type reminds me of an unrelated story. I
don’tdo want to bore you with it so here it is.I just picked up my new pair of glasses. (This was in 2001) The lady who helped with the final fitting told me to use only 100% cotton on my lenses.
Like terry cloth?
No, never use terry cloth.
Isn’t terry cloth 100% cotton?
Yes, but holds dust particles that will scratch your lenses.
Maybe I can use a patch of denim.
No, here, I’ll let you use one of these. In fact I’ll give you two.
What she gave me was two Scotch Brite™ microfiber cloths. They were 80% Polyester and 20% Nylon. 0% cotton.
I can’t make this stuff up.
OH! That cotton!!
Gotcha’
Did you cotton to it?
WOW! I just noticed my first comment went to 11!
Yeah, but now we need a new drummer.
Don’t you hate it when a not.a.bassist drowns in someone else’s vomit?
@ Windy and fellow YSaCrs – Eleven has a comic significance to some of us in UK.
