5 ft white couch – $75


i have a 5 ft white couch in really great condition like new color of cat xxx-xxx-xxxx terry

 

The couch is actually in each one of these pictures — it’s just a little-known fact that white things are invisible in photos, unless they’re slightly mangy cats.

Thanks, Gary!

    The couch IS white like the cat – until you vacuum it (the couch, not the cat). Once vacuumed, the couch returns to it’s original color – blue or beige with cat urine splotches.

      Cat urine splotches? Does your cat have a prostate problem?

    Perhaps this really is a couch manufactured by White.
    White Outdoor mowers are not white.
    Why would anyone expect a white couch to be white?
    Do you think that cat used to be a Persian Blue?

    Everyone knows that white couches don’t like to be photographed. It’s the reflection of the flash on the shiny upholstery that white couches think makes them look fat (6 feet, at least, and who wants to add an extra foot?). On the other hand, white cats love to be photographed. Princess Sparkyfuzz has entitled these masterpieces: “Regal on Not-the-Couch-We’re-Selling,” “Hungover on a Bed (Not a White Couch),” and “Playful.”

    Hmmm, looks like everyone has gone home.
    I think I’ll surprise them and clean up the place a little.
    *goes to closet to get broom*

    The leader here is Llamanun,
    who started this site just for fun.
    To Sparky she insists,
    that You Suck at Craigslist.
    Yes our snarking has just begun.

    Next up we have Ostrimu,
    who posts for us sucky ads too.
    These ads have problems,
    and he comments on them,
    he gives them the snark that they’re due.

    We have a fine feathered friend,
    she chooses which of us she’ll send.
    If your comment rocks,
    You’ll go into the box,
    and the wet bar you will get to tend.
