carpet clothing


NUETERAL CARPET 11 BY 16 50 DOLLARS WOMEN AND GIRLS SUMMER CLOTHINGSIZES 6TO10.

Yes, but does the carpet match the drapes?

It doesn’t specify the pile height of the carpet. Personally, in summer I prefer a nice berber; it’s just too hot for shag!

    What women’s or girls’ size corresponds to 11 by 16? If it’s “nueteral,” does that make it easier to accessorize?

      11 by 16 is for … girls and women whose dimensions are almost as wide as they are tall?

      Nueteral carpet is the preferred flooring by IT hipsters with computers that run eunuchs.

    Help control the carpet population, have your carpets sprayed or nuetered.

          Those deep pile ones are high-maintenance – they just constantly shed all over themselves.

          I find that spraying carpets with a little Scotchguard after an accident really helps to teach them not to go all over themselves.

          I’ve heard Paris Hilton has a teacup hairless hot pad that’s to drool for. She takes it everywhere she goes. It’s so small it can fit inside her clutch along with her cocaine gum.

          Toy doilies I had heard were very high strung (over breeding I suppose). Plus, the white ones tend to get that rust streak buildup at the corner of their eyes.

        My problem is Easter. I always fall in love with the new spring carpet litters. I forget about the upkeep and the shots and the [nueteraling] and city licensing and taking them for walks.

        Carpet kennels just don’t substitute for that human contact that baby rugs need.

    If I add a few punctuation marks for clarification, it seems Sparky is offering “Nueteral carpet (11×16), 50 dollars, women, and girls. Summer clothing size 6 to 10.” Presumably the clothing is separate, and the neutered carpet, dollars, and females are available naked.

    Personally, I prefer some items that are able to reproduce, particularly dollars.

      And my scan was:

      Neutral 11 BY 16.
      50 DOLLARS.
      Women and Girl’s Summer Cloning.
      SIZESSale 6 TO 10.

      Thus,
      Sparky has some Zone of Anacrhy, within which are some persons available for reproductive research, but only between the hours of either 0600-1000 or 1800-2200 (when the cops ain’t out or some such)

      Ergo, this is a thinly-disguised Professional Services ad (or yet another Sparky who believes that nothing is illegal if advertised on CL).

          [arboro-lignate OT corey]

          Limewood is considered an excellent product, with a light color and a fine, light grain. The bark and sapwood are not considered to be a high-quality wood product, which would make their use in linoleum a rather smart thing.

          Oh, and while deep in trivia, linoleum has a certain natural anti-biotic condition, which makes it a preferred flooring material for certain businesses. Linoleum is a very “green” product, too (only weaknesses being the process of solidifying linseed oil and the energy needed to roll the sheet goods out in the factory).
