AUDIO: MAN ON SLEEPING PILLS ORDER A YAK ONLINE
(Note: Not sure how true this is, but it’s going around the internet)
The Imgur website last week had a user named “CarefreeDude” who claimed his friend ordered a yak on line after taking some sleeping pills at two in the morning. No one believed him, so he posted a copy of the invoice to back up his claims. The order was made on April 11 to a company called Yaks N Things LLC, a company in Wisconsin that deals in exotic livestock. The cost of the yak was $2600, plus $388 for shipping. CarefreeDude eventually updated the post, saying that they’d managed to cancel the yak – his friend managed to stop the payment at the credit card company. He also posted this on Facebook: “Oh I’m sure you would’ve all liked for me to just let them deliver it, but a) My apartment complex would boot my ass on to the street. The only thing worse than being homeless is being a homeless yak owner. b) My beagle Lucy would lose her mind. c) I’m an astrophysicist, not Baron Moneybags Von Rich[bleep] so I can’t just spend $3,000 on a yak to amuse the Internet.”
* A yak? Yikes!
* Now the yak feels all sad and unwanted.
* His friend is “CarefreeDude.” Of course he’s carefree – he’s not the one who ordered the yak.
* First of all, you’ve got to love the name “Yaks N Things”.
* Talk about a niche market.
* If “Yaks” are the upfront item they sell, imagine how bizarre the “Things” must be.
* Notice how the guy makes this all our fault? Like we’ve been sitting around begging for him to order a yak.
* Hey, we weren’t the ones who got zonked on pills and did something stupid online.
* $388 seems awful cheap to ship a yak.
* You know how they deliver that? Federal Yak-spress.
* PHONE TOPIC: My Ambien Moment. Ever do something wacky while on Ambien?
CLIP: This is a good time to debut a new parody spot, “Ambien/doin”. We’ve posted it here, and also in the mp3 column.
