YSaC, Vol. 1229: Don’t cry for me, Ethan Allen …
2012 April 12
Leather recliner couch – $75
This is a great argentine condition except sometimes the recliners don’t stay in. Call me kenny questions at xxxxx xxxxx
What does it mean for a leather couch to be in “argentine” condition? Does that mean that the couch will randomly tango across the room? Or that it will lay claim to a smaller chair nearby but will be quickly dispatched by a British Chesterfield?
Anyway, it’s a shame that we can’t see the couch galloping happily across the pampas, since the photo appears to be an ultrasound taken in a planetarium by someone named Mr. Kenny Questions.
Thanks, Janelle!
I prefer my furniture to be complete homebodies, so recliners that sometimes don’t stay in just don’t work for me.
My rec liners are ALWAYS popping out. I can empathize.
Don’t sit on me, Argentina.
Recliners, they just might leave you.
All through my wild days,
My great condition,
I kept my promise;
Call Kenny Questions.
Perhaps Sparky is attesting to the tripartite nature of Argentina, the Spanish plus German plus English nature of the place.
Nah, that presumes too much, sigh . . .
I’m more of a Cordoba leather girl myself.
I’ve got a weakness for rich Corinthian leather myself.
Yeah, well, Paul has a few more letters he still needs to send to you heathen Corinthians.

^^^ Needs more doors to fling at Mudsy for that comment
Kenny questions is sure into that Goth furniture look. Better check that leather for piercings.
Dear Kenny Questions,
I had no idea Argentina was priced so reasonably!
I suppose that might have something to do with the fact that it appears The Blob has swallowed the entire country.
*grabs gigantic fire extinguisher and books flight to Buenos Aires*
Don’t cry, Argentina, I’m on my way!
Oh, and Mr. Questions…I just e-mailed you $75…in pennies. Sorry, but this is an emergency and I didn’t have time to go to the bank.
Sincerely,

[Corey] Technically, “argentine” (uncapitalized) means “of or resembling silver.” [/Corey]
It may therefore be a valuable relic of the Otterman Empire, but it would be worth more with the automan,
Hi Kenny. Call me Ishmael.
That silver recliner looks pretty tarnished to me.
I’m guessing we’re dealing with “resembling” silver here. It would be worth way more if it was made of silver. Unless… Oh my God! Maybe he’s telling us its made of Silver, as in a horsehair couch made from the Lone Ranger’s faithful steed! Oh, the huge manatee!
If the Otterman Empire wants silver badly enough, they might declare armwar on Argentine.
Well of course the reliners don’t stay in at night. They’re argentine! They’re not too hard to find when they’re out, though; just listen for the sound of partying.
I’m not prone to argue.
Whither:
“ahr jen TEEN”
or
“ahr jen TYN” ?
Discuss.
I think he’s much older than a Teen.
This reminds me of that test I had to take with the weird blotches, the whatyacall’em – SATs.
:tilts head:
It looks a little bit like an extreme close-up of a caterpillar.
I had no idea that the SATs had a section on Rorschach tests—but it’s an excellent idea!
Next question: Where do I fill in the bubble with my #2 Ticonderoga?
Ah yes, the world famous argentine ninja couches. They are known to lie in wait, reclining. Don’t be fooled though. They will unexpectedly spring forth and refuse to stay in. They are rarely seen staying in anything for long. (Much to the relief of the female argentine ninja couches, who are rumored to have a little something going on with that Chester Drawers fellow.)
I’ll go to the corner now.
wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?
Kenny questions- the ones you kind of know the answers to.
.
Questions. Kenny Questions.
I know him! And his lovely wife, Alotta.
And his half-brother, Rhett Toricalle.
His cousin Stupid posts every day on Craigslist.
*squints at pictures*
Congratulations! It’s a girl!
*squints harder*
That’s no moon.
*Squints even harder*
I found Waldo!
:closes eyes tightly:
I see the sailboat!
It’s ALWAYS a dolphin, ghostie!!!!
p.s. unless you’re talking about something ‘cornerable.” Then you may proceed…
I don’t know what that’s an ultrasound of, but whatever it is, I want to be far away (Argentina perhaps) when it busts out of Kenny’s chest.
You know, I was thinking that those pictures looked suspiciously like secret set pictures for the new Alien movie.
Okay, the dweeb in me wants to know…is there going to be a new Alien movie? Ripley at the Retirement Home Space Station?
Yes or no, depending on who you talk to.
Prequel, and no Ripley.
It’s a prequel. Ripley in High School. 8)
I tend to hate prequels. And I see what they did there. Prometheus sounds intriguing but…Ripley: The Missing Years
*you are my lucky star…*
Okay, this will teach me. All the good Snark retorts have already been taken. I’ll go sit in the corner with the fun people.
*I would like a red one, please. Black is not my color*
Are you talking about retorts? Or people?
I’m talking about, “opposed to the original torts.”
p.s. go look on yesterday’s post monkey. I gave you the ancient Chinese secret to Italics…
[Corey]My brother lets me call him Kenny. But I have to call his wife Barbara dang it. You’d think when fate gives you something so cool (a real life Ken & Barbie) you’d want to embrace it! But noooooo.[/corey]
That is so unfair. Do they at least have a daughter you can call Skipper?
Or a friend named Madge?
CJ: Really? a Madge meme? Oooooh…you’re good….!
*discovers two things a) she has no idea what meme consists of Madge, Ken, Barbie and Skipper and b) decides she’s too cool care*
And now, come to think of it, I think her name was Midge…. she was shorter than Skipper..
I worked with a lady named Barb who was married to a Ken, and their last name was House. 8) I thought they should have added Dream in there somewhere.
Ethan Allen? More like Edgar Allan.
PAMPOE!PARKAY!!!
😛
PECIL!
CORNER!
PUDDING NOT ON FIRE!
In the morning while I’m snarky, I often surf and search for Sparky
Through many a Craigslist posting from the day before
And while searching I oft ponder the sofas that are lacking
The leather and the cloth backing found on couches from the store
So I keep searching while I’m snacking, for ’tis too pricey at the store
No good deal, so search some more.
So spelunking I go deeper, past each Sparky and each creeper
Asking for the missed connection, seeing your purse from the store
When what did I find so resplendent, a couch sold independent
Of good pictures and unrepentant of confusion caused to Craigslist go’er.
To this ad I was attendant, “Who should I call?” I did implore.
“Call me Kenny,” and nothing more.
Awwwww….. I swoon!
!!elebenty brazilian adores!!!!
Priest Vito Cornelius: Because it is evil, absolutely evil.
President Lindberg: One more reason to shoot first.
Priest Vito Cornelius: Evil begets evil, Mr. President. Shooting will only make it stronger
I heart you, Double-L.
Another nesting fail! Woo!
That’s why I keep finding cockatiel eggs in the food dishes. Sigh.
Sounds like breakfast to me!
😀
Stay not in for me, though I am argentine
Recline or gallop happily -into the night
Grieve not for my Corinthian scene
For my soul has taken Ikean flight
Ponder if you wish
The auntiean stains
Or if Guerra de las Malvinas
Could possibly make gains
My fears have all subsided
And there is no need for weeping
‘Cause through the years I chided
And just ignored your seeping
Suffer more, I shall not
For I am on a list with entries
OBO’s shall be got
Cuidado con las serpientes
camille, please continue to spread your award-winning snark in the lounge! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Ricardo Montalban!
Thanks, Windy. Shockingly, in real life, nobody at all adores my singing.
