2013 October 9
Chear 4-set new one !! ##########!
i have 4-chear set new !!never use !! keep in carton!im ask only 150.00$ call or send text,email ,,thanks !!##########!
There are so many weird things about this post. Why, if you want to sell a set of four identical chairs, would you take separate pictures of three of them? Why not just one? Or all four together? Is the fourth one on fire or something?
Also, why is the phone number deserving of an exclamation point? Is this person that excited to HAVE a phone number? You know who ELSE was excited to have a phone number?
Thanks for the post, sd!
So sad to see Bobby Knight* so humbled as to having to sell off his chears.
Probably easier on the basketball courts, though, not flying about.
The presumptive fourth chair being in the penalty box two minutes to feel shame for the Technical.

*Ok, possibly not so sad–never been much of a BK fan, Senior or Junior.
Today is Hump Day, but all I got was a picture of three out of four chears.
“Gimme a C! Gimme a H! Gimme a E!…….”
Really, they lost out on the chance to make a pyramid of the chairs. That would’ve been awesome.
What are we selling? Chears!
Where are we selling them? Craigslist!
Chears! Craigslist! Craigslist! Chears!
Goooooooo Sparky!
I stopped usinig them and started using backpage.com and busypost.com
Michel, that is not funny. How can we even think of starting YouSuckatBackPage or YouSuckatBusyPost? YSaBP just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Yay, spam!
No one expects the spam!
ISAAC!!!!!!!!!! *faint*
Prolly dint haf enuf spatters to make a peerymid–Rules, doncha kno?
!!never use!! is the name of my Silver Chear cover band.
It’s chear genius — the three pictures are showing just one chear, with subtle differences in lighting and contrast. Three chears for detailed photos on craigslist!
They can be used with a red table for sale!
But I took the table for free!
Wow…not only did Sparky capture the elusive Chair of Garden Solitude once, he managed to capture it three times on his camera!
I’m impressed.
*as an aside – I find it hilaricute that dan tries so hard to give Sparky some semblance of logic/intelligence/sentience…methinks dan needs an aspirin…or a drink…or both*
Anyone notice that the multi-trunked tree/bush in the background is growing? This is obviously a time-lapsed photo of the same chear. (Frenchese for “chair”) The Time Lapse series of books were popular in the eighties with artsy-fartsy types (like me and my friends) who needed to fill our bookshelves so other artsy-fartsy types would be impressed and think we were educalated. Did it work? Probably not…
The correct term is edjumacated.
Isn’t that what the male does at the conclusion of,uh, you know…..(whispers)…sex?
See, these iz ’em 6-side octangle chears.
Tha’s why comes they’s only lookit like theys tree of ’em,
E’en’t tho theys one inn’t box.
Isn’t 4-chear the notorious chat room where the Internet’s most infamous denizens engage in mischief? (While sitting down, of course.)
Okay, so there are 4 chears available, but I’m directed to never use them and keep them in their cartons.
This is perfect set dressing for my Waiting for Godot revival.
“!!never use !! keep in carton!”
I noticed that too, but he appears to have broken his own rule when taking pictures.
Maybe that is why he only took pictures of three, after all, “4-set new one !!”
So I thought to myself, “Self, I wonder how these chairs compare in price to something on amazon and, more specifically, I wonder if these chairs are listed on amazon.” After scanning through the first 10 of 94 pages of results, I gave up. I did learn a few things, though.
First, $150 for four dining room chairs is not a bad deal. You can buy one chair for $115, a set of two for $125, or a set of four for as much as $1600.
Next, the varying designs of dining room chairs ranges from quite comfortable-looking to medieval torture. It brought to my mind an asshole family having two sets of dining room chairs: one set for company you actually like and enjoy sitting around the dining room table conversating with and another set for people you’re obligated to host but want them uncomfortable enough to flee your home as soon as the dessert plates are collected. And for people with back problems? Forget about it, they’re hitting the road home by the time the salads are eaten. Of course there are also designs that only fit in what we would consider extra-spartan interior design – bare concrete floors, bare cinder block walls, and plain sheets of metal for a ceiling.
Finally, there is enough fodder for a yousuckatamazon web site. I found more than a few pictures of white chairs with white backgrounds. Fail. Or dark wood chairs situated around a dark wood table and lighting such that the detail of the chairs is completely indistinguishable from the shadows under the table. Fail again. Or one picture of chairs, some white and some electric green, used three times: once for each of three different wildly different colors (green, purple, red, but no white, even though it’s in the picture), only identified in the text description. Lazy fail.
So that’s what I learned touring amazon today. Then my brain shut down without coming up for snark for the fact that Sparky expects me to pay $150 for chairs I’m supposed to never use, as what seems to be a condition of the sale is that I’m supposed to keep them in the carton indefinitely.
Yousuckatamazon would have to include the sparkies that ask 100 or even thousands of dollars for a used paperback when every other seller is offering it for a few bucks.
Bee of good chear, I bring you glad tidings. You may want to sit down for this news.
Is it Beesmas already?
Oh, I hope not, we haven’t drawn our secret beekeeper names!
I have no snark regarding this ad because I tried to calculate how many possible combinations of 3 pictures of one chear each you could make out of a four-chear set where the chears have never been out of the carton. The first thing that happened is my cerebrospinal fluid began to curdle. Then, when I tried to divide by the coefficient of Belushi to account for the atomic mass of the cartons, my catulator hocked up a hairball. Finally, I couldn’t figure out how to get that many exclamation points into one quadratic equation, so I gave up and watched some YouTube videos of people falling down instead. I blame Dan.
We all need a new chear. The old one is way past the “best if used by” date.
That first picture looks like a tarty Vishnu slut…. or a slutty Vishnu tart…either way works. Craptacular!!!!!!….(no offense intended)
I heard her new song in a store the other day. It drove me out of the store.
WANTED.
$150 Reward.
Escaped chear.
Broke loose from carton on or near Oct. 1st.
Considered unarmed, but may be dangerous.
Please see mug shots.

And why on the lawn? Why oh why do they keep taking pictures of indoor furniture on grass?
To show they’re free-range chears. Except for that whole “keep in carton” thing.
Would you prefer they did it on crack? Or mud?
mud?….MUD!!!!?….I am so not up on stuff anymore.(mud?)
I had to look it up. 8)
mud – Heroin plus opium
Oh, thanks Windy….I was afraid someone was actually “doing” actual “mud”…you know, like mainlining actual dirt mixed with water. (street name “MUD”) I’m so relieved people aren’t doing something dangerous like that. ….Happy Thursday!!!… Tomorrow we can all get beveraged and muddy.
LOL At least you didn’t think maybe Mudslicker got her name from anything illicit.
Are they dinning room chears? Do you have a dinning room table too? Before I commit to buying them, can you send me a picture of the 4th chear?
And who the hell takes chears outside to photograph them?
Uh oh. Grammy’s getting grumpy!
