HIDEABED COUCH
com in git dis couch pleeze
oh, and itz got a bed in it
it be on da sidewawk at 1702 Lincoln ave
com git b4 it gitz wet
oh, and it workz
All right, it is no longer cool or “1337” to substitute a “z” for an “s”. This makes it official.
I only want it if it comes with the hobo.
DAD!? IS THAT YOU!?
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.
Isz it still 1337sz 4 2 subsztitute a “sz” 4 a “s”?
I can hasz hobo wif da sofa?
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 Spy the open end of a traffic cone, a wireless phone, a wire part of a hanging file rack, D B Cooper’s parachute, and a chunk of Skylab.
Random question…HOW did the CL’er happen to spell COUCH correctly? Do you think he meant “cowch”?
Callisto: I googled Godflesh since your comment got me intrigued – it’s a band
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.
vickie: Thanks. I didn’t dare google it myself. I wasn’t prepared for what I may find. A band is pretty benign though.
I think one of my exes had that exact same poster, so I didn’t even think about it.
Oh, the more I read it, the more I laughed – that one is too much! com git b4 it gitz wet – because you know what it would smell like then! WET stoned plaid slackerz…
Wet Stoned Plaid Slackerz is IF’s Pearl Jam tribute band.
It has taken me 3 days to stop retching.
ive sat on that couch. it was fun.
“A symphony of plaid”
hehehe….. nice one
you guys think you’re SOOOO funny
should be “sympathy for plaid”
I KNOW that couch, you dont want it.
and that aint no hippy.
Nice Martha Splatterhead poster to the left of the Godflesh one!
Craigslist Sucks At You!
Hey “Anonymous”, if it’s your ad, just say so.
That looks like Richard Stallman on the couch.
yep, that “Anonymous” sure gets around huh?!
all over the internet!
it is ALWAYS the same person.
i think the Plaid Hobo is kind of cute.
Thank heavens for IP tracing, Anonymous. And yes, that is a nice Martha poster.
i just got a new pair of plaid shoes!
You know that movie “Field of Dreams”? It could’ve been about this couch. If it was called “Field of Fleas,” that is.
If you post it, Anonymous will come?
True story.
I don’t want to make Anonymous… yeah. I’ll be in the corner. The one with the Switchfoot poster.
i be writin like this 4 da realnezz that make’z it more authentic n stuff
Bacontini admitz it, he was de anonymous poster. Bacontini have de shamez now.
However, dat not Bacontini on de couch. Dat is Fakintini.
Dat is why he always so jealous about how de ladies love de Bacontini.
I’m shocked! But it makes a lot of sense.
It’s a weekend of thrilling revelations here at YSaC.
Everything in this ad is tailored to save you time. I am compelled to not respond to Sparky.
Don’t want this couch, nope, moving on.
LimeLolly, are you feeling boxed in today? Just keep calm and carry on with the exterminations. 8)
The only thing in the picture that works is the couch and he wants it gone. What does that tell you?
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.
also lodging for snakes
Time for another round of my favorite game; homeless or hipster?
There’s a difference?
Homeless people: looking scruffy since before scruffy was cool.
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.
The hobo looks like the guy in the t-shirt ad… Shirts for the shirtless? That guy. He’s famous, ya know.
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.
LimeLolly, your boxing day is over! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Lincoln Avenue!
It still feels like an April’s Fools Day joke… 8)
