All right, it is no longer cool or “1337” to substitute a “z” for an “s”. This makes it official.

    Was the “Ow! My eyes!” tag for the photo, or the zpelng? Bad as the photo is (is that inside, or already out on the “sidewawk”?), I think the text actually hurts my eyes more.

    Honestly, I don’t see how getting this couch wet could make it worse than it already is.

    Anyone else have the horrible feeling that this used to be a white couch?

    Wow. Not sure how I am going to live without that couch, the guy on it, or the piles of crap around it. Guess I will just have to make do. And yes, I’m guessing you’re right, Tedious, that couch used to be some shade of white, off-white, ecru, or beige… once upon a time. Once wasn’t enough, so I will say it again – Wow.

    I just wasted about five minutes trying to identify all the items scattered about the place… and was unsuccessful. And yet, I don’t really want to know what that stuff is.

    Also, I had a dyslexic moment and thought that sign above him said “Good flesh”. But when I realized it said, “God flesh”, I was even more confused.

    I can only imagine what that couch smells like based on the picture. And I’m guessing some airing out/sitting on the curb time might actually improve it. Sure couldn’t hurt.

    You know that movie “Field of Dreams”? It could’ve been about this couch. If it was called “Field of Fleas,” that is.

      But what kind of work does the couch do and what compensation is said couch asking? I’ve still got some crown molding that needs to be painted, but I don’t think I have a ladder with sofa bearing specs.

        It provides seating for the weary. It also provides lodging for the homeless. It provides shelter for numerous entities such as bedbugs, fleas and lice. What compensation does it get? It gets beer and Wild Turkey to drink and maybe some bodily fluids for mixers.

    Ah, Mr. Winkey. How lovely to see you chillaxin’ on the couch, just hangin’ out there in your plethora of plaid. What’s that? Do I want to come over and sit in the crook of your arm and cuddle on the sodden, smelly, flea-infested couch? Why, Mr. Winkey! This is so sudden. I… don’t know what to say. So I’ll just back slowly away toward the door. Spraying Lysol and Raid as I go. Planning Google search terms to find out the strongest concentration of bleach I can safely immerse myself in for several hours.

    That’s not a couch… that’s a mobile derriere planting device that converts to allow you to plank. It’s hip before it became cool. Just watch out for snakes and wet stains.
