YSaC, Vol. 1462: If you peel away the skin
2013 March 5
Ted sends this:
you kill it i skin it
you kill it i skin it and make fur pelts i can skin aything even family pets if u’d like
Anything, huh? OK, I’m trying to think of the absolute worst thing to bring this guy. I’m torn between an entire box of gnats, or just one of these cuddly little guys:
What do YOU think?
A honey badger. But I’m not going to kill it, Sparky will just have to wait for it to die of old age.
Baux Business: PhantomBanker is in the baux for two reasons. 1. The phrase “Verily laminate wireless internet” and 2. If PB could show up earlier, This probably wouldn’t be his or her first time in there!
With Baby PB on the way, Mrs. PB and I need to relearn all these songs from our childhood.
Thanks for the baux-y!
A paramecium, but only if Sparky can mount it so that it’s rearing up and snarling at the viewer.
And wearing a tiny sombrero.
I only have a single mecium; will that do?
I thought that was a mecia?
:collects dried worms from sidewalks, drops bucketful on Sparky’s workbench:
Get cracking, boy.
Something with an exoskeleton. Let’s see him skin that.
A barrel of hagfish… and people actually do skin those.
Dear Sparky,
I have need for your services, just as soon as I can wrangle the infernal beast. Can I keep you on retainer?
Capt. A.
We should test him with this Balrog I caught…
-Gandalf
Family pets? I don’t know which is more disturbing, the “I’ll skin it” part or the “you kill it” part.
Both are about equal in the Yikes department.
Oh! Our family pets. I thought he was offering up his own.
I’ve got a tank full of snails, one cat who is a master of hiding, one who has so much fur I’m not even sure she has skin, and one who randomly bites all the people (even those she likes.)
Good luck with that, Sparky.
Oooh, snails, yes! I’ve been dying for a snailskin coat.
Wanda! Welcome back to the fold!
Fold?!? Is it laundry day?!?!
*runs away*
Maybe a grizzly bear, but one that s only hibernating.
I’m sending him my 1998 version of Winamp. I never could get that thing skinned properly.
A zomb
an onion
I would like a peach fuzz jacket! Pronto! I killed “u” a bushel, kind sparky.
Get a reversible jacket – peach on one side, nectarine on the other. Perfect for all occasions!
But wouldn’t it be difficult to get gnats to put lotion on themselves?
Pour lots of lotion downt the sides of a well. Drop gnats to the bottom of said well. They climb up, through said lotion. Voila. Gnats put lotion on themselves inadvertently. Of course then you have to collect lotioned-up gnats.
Or you just cover the well with lexan and sell tickets:
“Naked gnat lotion wall climbing”.
No? I thought you guys said there were
pervsspectators for anything!Lotioned-Up Gnats is IF’s Flock of Seagulls cover band.
How about a tardigrade?
You can get a TARDIS upgrade?!?
:looks at menu:
I’ll have the number ten, with 3D glasses.
Sparky needs to contract with Joe’s Morgue: “You stab ’em, we slab ’em.”
He’s also a Robert Redford wannabe.
Also see this at about 00:21 — “Possum?”
“Got a better idea?”
“A nice, big, fluffy souffle.”
“All right. you shoot it and you skin it.”
A water droplet! Good luck with that.
OK sparky, I want my pet skinned. I want it for my desk at work. Don’t mess it up, it’s the only one I have…
Puppy-Faced Saddleback Caterpillar

The saddleback caterpillar (Acharia stimulea, formerly Sibine stimulea) looks like a colorful cross between a Chinese parade dragon and a Scottish terrier. It’s the larva of the saddleback caterpillar moth and is native to eastern North America. Although it may look cute enough to pet, watch out — its spikes, called “urticating hairs,” are full of venom and deliver a painful sting.
I wonder which of the many ways to skin a cat he uses…
Two words: Chuck Testa
Nope!
Mr. PB, since this is your first time, I will be gentle! Here’s your card, and here’s a very gentle Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Big Lame Hunters!
