YSaC, Vol. 268: If it’s Saturday, it must be French Prevential Day!
FRENCH PREVENTIAL FURNITURE
About 6 months ago i bought a Beautiful french prevential 3 piece living room set, hardly sat on, tags r still on… but now i need to sell the set, so serious callers only please… 🙂
ask for elizabeth, xxx xxx xxxx, also matching marble tables n capidimonte lamps from italy;0
I guess if you’re going to have French Prevential furniture, you have to have ‘capidimonte‘ lamps to go with it. Because it’s not classy otherwise. (Okay, full disclosure: no, I didn’t know what a capodimonte lamp was either, but I knew enough to look it up!
You know what else is classy? Leaving the tags on your furniture for six months. Minnie Pearl would be proud.
But wait, there’s more! (Of course there is.)
French Prevential Queen Bedroom Set – $550
Dark Wood. Queen Bed Frame, two nightstands wih drawers, and a dresser with mirror.

Thank goodness she let us know how to pronounce her name, because wouldn’t it be horribly embarrassing if you got a name wrong in a public place? Like, say, the name of the style of furniture you’re trying to sell on, say, Craigslist? Yep, that would be terribly embarrassing. Good thing she was thoughtful enough to prevent us from making a similar mistake.
we should all call her and pronounce her name different

I had to google prevential and look at the “did you mean?” to figure out it was supposed to be provincial. Humanity IS doomed.
Michelle, you must be kind of new around here. Check out the French Prudential tag; this is an ongoing thing!
so does the French Prevential Queen Bedroom keep the French out of the bedroom? i must invest immediately
But does the French Prevential set have the tags still on the pieces?
Damn, I was hoping for some more French Prudential pieces to go with my dresser, but alas…
I must be the only one thinking how great it would be to have built in birth control with my bedroom furniture. Maybe the hideousness would prevent the act altogether – either way, I think this is perfect for illiterate singles.
Can we mix and match our various French Prevential, Preventional, Prudential pieces? Or are they each a decorating period of their own?
You can totally mix them – they’re all from the Yesteryear Period (although Prudential is on the cusp of Yore) so they fit together beautifully.
it’s called PROVINCIAL!!!!!
I’m annoyed with all the bad french
Um, we know. That’s the joke.
It’s spelled provisional! Sorry, I’ve got work on the brain.
Wow, if Corey was a woman once, this would be she.
[Lalia] It’s not COREY!!!!!
I get annoyed when I get bad French, too. [/Lalia]
And it’s not spelled “Lalia”, it’s spelled “Layla”! DAMN WOMAN!
I’m probably just shouting a ghost, aren’t I?
Hey Grampdaddy, you know what they say: Even when it’s bad French, it’s still French.
and that’s why The Man says “LayyyyyyLaaaa, got me on my knees. Layla, beggin’ darlin’, please…”
Perhaps it was the “prevential” nature of this listing which prevented you from putting a close paren at the end of your first paragraph? Pedantry power to maximum! 🙂

French Preventional furniture is okay, I guess. But I really would prefer something along the lines of Contemporanian Cliche.
But do you still have the tags on so that we know it’s real Contemporanian Cliché and not some knockoff? If so, please call Dave (D-ay-v).
But what if I want to call you Shirley?
Shirley Knott!
I’d love to buy the living room set, but it would clash with all the Danish Moodren I already have. Sorry.

That’s not phonetic! I don’t know what to call you! *panics, runs into the wall, passes out*
*sigh* We’re going to need another *checks name* Sister Mary Rudabaga!
Clean-up on aisle 4, snark lounge….
That’s not phonetic!
What the heck do the Phoenicians have to do with bedroom furniture? I’m confused.

I’ve done my dining room in Trey-Mo-Darren.
Are Trey and Mo Bobbie’s brothers?
*Goes to French Prevential well*
*Lowers bucket*
*Raises bucket*
Nope, nothing left…
How many yaks would a yak shaver shave if a yak shaver could shave yaks?
LimeLolly, you wanted to know what’s wrong with you. Well, darling, maybe you’ve had one too many of these: Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Gallia Transalpina!
Whut? I was in the box?
Why don’t I remember this weekend? Windy, did you have a prevential glove? And… this explains the knot on my forehead.
