FREE sofa


FREE 86 ft. sofa with recliners on each end. In good shape. Must be picked up by Thursday (6-3), Friday morning at the latest

In the immortal words of that guy from TRON – “That’s a really big sofa.” Or was it that guy from Ghostbusters? Anyway, thanks for the post, sarajean!

    Trying again(bad gateway, bad!):

    One believes the ad, since it’s obvious that only a small snippet of the ‘couch’ fits in a photograph(it could even be a bolster, there’s no way to know).

        Reupholster nothin’. That pattern and colour scheme would confuse and throw off an enemy’s aim — or at the very least offend their sense of style — which could be the difference between plugging or getting plugged between the eyes with a sucker dart.

          When Paul Bunyan finished his breakfast, he harnessed Babe and wrapped the chain seventy-two times around the foot of the frozen Whistle River. Yelling to the men to stand clear, he shouted at Babe to pull. Babe pulled that chain into a solid bar and sank knee deep into solid rock, but that ornery river refused to budge. So Paul grabbed the chain and he and Babe gave such a yank that the river jerked loose from its banks and they dragged it across the prairie so fast it smoked. After a while, Paul looked back and saw the river was as straight as a gun barrel.

        Coffy, Paul B. was Isaac’s grandfather. Babe was as close to a son as I ever heard he had. Therefore, Isaac’s father may have been a blue ox. Now, knowing how an ox comes in to being, I know it can’t reproduce. So Isaac must have been adopted.

    Half the day is gone and still no MLK speeches?

    I have a dream.

    A dream that sofas and loveseats will one day live together in complimentary fashions. Neither will claim dominion of the ottoman nor the coffee table. Both living in harmony and comfortableness.

    I have a dream that sofas will be free to be reupholstered to match the television set.

    I have a dream that the blue sofa and the green recliner will no longer disagree on the color of the walls. They shall be free to choose the degree of scotchguard protection they need.

    I had a dream… that I could afford an interior designer.

    If it had an 86′ bed, there’d be no room for the reckliners <G>

    Buddy came in from out of town and was buying lunch, so I had to depart the snark early.

    I have a [corey] of sorts in that, for residential design, I try to get an understanding of what a client needs by using a 7′ couch.

    So, when they want a living room, it gets to the nub of it when you aske them if they want a room two couches wide and one deep (which is what a 20′ x 10′ LR is).

    So, the concept of a 12 * 7-foot-couch couch is a bit boggling. As is the image of trying to get one up six flights of stairs (86′ being most of seven 12′ floor-to-floor stories tall).

    Wow, memory just kicked in; you need a special interstate permit to trailer anything 86′ long east of the Mississippi. No wonder it has to be gone by Thursday, Friday at the latest–the extra-long=load permit expires . . .

    So to all the cats I say:

    “Go forth my sweet kitties, and shred the sofas of life,
    leave not a sliver of upholstery upon which you have not laid your touch,
    for until you touched it, it had no meaning to me,
    with your touch, you brought your own special personality to light upon the material world,
    and thus improved it.
    For when you are long passed from this life, and I look fondly in the vision of my mind upon your memories,
    as I sit upon that shredded sofa, my own tears shall fall upon the same surface as you yourself touched,
    and together we will be again, if only for a moment, sitting quietly, upon sofa we shared in our own special way.
    I wont be remembering yelling at you, or squirting you with a water bottle, or taking you in to have your toes cut off. I wont be remembering you running scared from the sound of a rolled up newspaper, from me.
    I wont be remembering anything but you, in all your feline glory,
    stretching up in a graceful arch, with the look of pure glee upon your face,
    and the sound of fabric ripping, as you happily do what comes naturally to you,
    marking your territory.
    Only fond memories, will those of you be, to be.”
