YSaC, Vol. 1564: Even the KITTENS are poisonous!

2013 July 25

This isn’t from Craigslist itself, but the principle is the same:

650 or best offer nice microfiber sectional with two recliners on each end




Clearly, this couch is from Australia. So if you’re going to put this in your living room, you’ll need to accessorize it with a big keg of Foster’s, a picture of the Sydney Opera house, and about eleventy billion poisonous goddamn animals.

Thanks for the link, Lori!

    I dream of a time in which we have world peace, a cure for every disease, and image software with a “rotate” command.

      C’mon, how hard is it for you to just turn your monitor upside-down?

    The kittens aren’t really poisonous, you just have to keep them dry and not feed them after midnight. What do you mean, that’s not a kitten?

    That’s a total of 4 recliners.

    I’m going to venture a guess that taking pictures while standing on your head is the latest social media fad, following in the footsteps of mirror selfies, photobombing, Instagram’s sepia filter, and duckface.

    Considering the number of these upside-down pictures we see, I’m surprised there are so many camera phones still out there old enough to not know which way is up. At least that’s the most likely scenario. The other options are that somebody keeps holding their camera upside down to take a picture or the photographer intentionally rotates pictures before posting. Of course I would think considering how old said phones are, users would’ve figured out by now that all of their pictures are coming out upside-down.

    Nah, I think I’m crediting too much intelligence to the authors of posts that end up here.

    I’ve never been to the Sidney Opera house. I’ve been to the one in Purth, though. It doesn’t compare.

    The real issue is — if they’re stuck like that on the ceiling, will I really be able to get them off to take them home?

      They’re held up by the new Command™ Strips for furniture. Easy to apply. Easy to take off without leaving a mark.

    Cool. I no longer have to worry about loose change getting lost in the cushions.

        Frankly, I’d just be grateful to stop having to dig the remote out from the nether regions of the couch.

    Despite the ceiling location, the “microfiber” couch is still covered in shed pet fur.

    So, the couch is not any cleaner than the kitchen, the stoners having found the MD232 (420+232=sitz-fiddy donchakno)

    You don’t need the poisonous animals. In Australia, the couches themselves are carnivorous.

    Unfortunately, microfiber is not tight enough to hold the helium in for long, and the furniture ends up back on the floor where you have to move it to vacuum. You’re better off rigging it to a bicycle hoist.

    And wouldn’t a sectional with two recliners be a di-sectional?

      No Ralph, that would be bi-sectional.

        Maybe Ralph’s just bisectional-curious.

      A di-sectional is covered in frogskin leather rather than microfiber.

      Or is that a dissectional I’m thinking of?

    This theory, which belongs to me, is as follows… (clears throat) This is how it goes… (more throat clearing) The next thing that I am going to say is my theory. (clears throat) Ready?

    My Theory, by O.M.Violation. This theory goes as follows and begins now:

    All Sectionals have a recliner at one end; a sofa in the middle and then a recliner again at the far end. That is my theory that is mine and belongs to me and I own it and what it is, too.

      Except this sectional which has two recliners at each end. Makes it special. Well, that and the whole anti-grav thing.

    Have you ever been to Australia? Obviously not. If you had you’d know that we drink Bundy Rum and XXXX gold and no one even goes to the sydney opera house…
