YSaC, Vol. 1643: It’s not easy, being a sofa.

2013 December 23

SOFA AND LOVESEAT SET (SOFA SLEEPER) – $850


Custom made green velvet Sofa with upgraded queen mattress (rarely ever slept on- in excellent condition). Matching loveseat- the set is made by Century and was custom made for a summer (non-rental) non-smoking home.

You know how some people like to hunt? And those people sometimes have rugs made out of the skins? I’ve seen cougars, bears, even not.a.lions used as rugs. Well, why not couches? The thing is, Kermit by himself just wouldn’t be enough – this thing pretty much had to encompass every relative he ever had.

Thanks for the ad and the inspiration for the post, Elizabeth!

    I am not sure I’m buying anything Austin Powers has to sell on Craigslist. Not even if I had… one million dollars!

    So they were custom made to look like something from the clearance section?

    “Custom made” is just a euphemism for “Nobody else would ever want this color.”

    First it was the senseless slayings of millions of naugas for their hides, and now they’re skinning Muppets?!

    Why are there so many ugly a$$ sofas
    some stained with unknown detritus
    Sofas with stereos, and some urine,
    and couches with snakes inside.
    So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it.
    I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
    Someday we’ll find it, the sofa perfection.
    The Sparky’s, the scammers or me.

        Ah, youth – the moonlight, the pounding surf, that persistent patch of algae it takes three trips to the clinic to treat. Those were the good old days.

    Green sofas are the place for me.
    Tacky livin’ is the life for me.
    Velvet harvested from Kermit’s hide;
    Keep Manhattan, just give me that doublewide.

    If this is any indication of the other furnishings, I guess we know why this summer home was a “non-rental.”

    Meanwhile, back at the Justice League of America, the rarely slept on sofa and loveseat set was being prepared by the Guardians of the Universe to be bestowed upon a worthy candidate.

    The more I look at this sofa and love seat, squinting and tearing up, the more I think if I just throw some red covers over it, we would have the perfect extra seating in the Snark Lounge for the holidays.

    I’ll go poke myself in the eye until this notion goes away.

      Why do you keep looking at it, Windy??? I know, I know…it’s like a train wreck, or an awful TV show, or a Miley Cyrus performance….you JUST.CAN’T.STOP…..so you have to decide…is this sofa and loveseat better than a sharp stick in the eye?…I don’t think so, especially if it’s your eye……oh!…Merry Christmas Eve, ya’ll….

        Well, partly because I got my hair caught in the fold-a-bed while making sure it was in good working order. Sigh. Get the scissors, Jazzy, will you?

      Sorry I’m late, Windy…been looking for the scissors…that and I started throwing up around 3:00 AM. My mother was sick Monday, then my daughter got it later Monday and Tuesday, now I understand my grandson has it. I would say it was the puke-green sofa and loveseat that caused it, but they have better sense than to peruse YSaCL. Oh well!…Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good smight in the lounge….

    The green velvet doesn’t bother me. It’s that fuzzy blue trim. That’s what makes it hideous.
