Comfortable overstuffed chair w/audubon – $30


We’ve had this in our enclosed deck and it’s in good shape with no tears, no odors, smokers or cats around. It has a drip stain from a storm that some water got in from but will clean up very nice for any room. xxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com

This endangered species of audubon was preserved thanks to the efforts of the National Audubon Society. Please remember them with your philathropic donations, because if audubons go extinct, where will we put our feet? WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE FEET??

Sorry, but this is a cause I believe in very strongly, as you can tell. I’ve seen firsthand the devastation that losing a species of audubon can create, and I don’t want this to happen to the rest of the civilized world. SAVE THE AUDUBONS!

And if you’re not interested in saving the audubons (because you’re a TERRIBLE person), perhaps you’d be interested in this?


Free couch and 2 automans


free couch little stained…i usually just put a blanket over it…i got it for free on CL so i just wanted to return the favor. Two matching automans as well. Cannot deliver or help load.

Maybe free automans will tug at your heartstrings enough. No? My god, people, what do I have to do to get through to you?

[Thanks to Roz and Amanda for submitting these listings!]

    The last item missing from my collection is the EXTREMELY rare French Prudential Audubon. It’s a very elusive creature that can often be found lurking near large herds of Dinning Tables. And on another note, does that picture of the couch make anyone else dizzy?

    “little stained…i usually just put a blanket over it…” Other times, I don’t. Hence the stains.

    I think this stems from a confusion between an ottoman and the Autobahn. Perhaps he was trying to sell two German highways?

    Not that ottoman makes much more sense, despite being the correct word. I’m tempted to call people up and ask if they mean Ottoman as in the empire or the thing you put your feet on.

    I’m just relieved they didn’t call that chair a sofa.

    As long as it’s not free automatons, I’m in. Robots scare me.

    You know this reminds me of a great story about American ornithologist and artist John James. You know the guy. His effort to catalog every species of bird in the United States resulted in the publication of The Birds of America (1827-1838), a collection of 1,065 life-size engravings of birds found in eastern North America. It is considered a classic work in ornithology and in American art.

    I should really tell you all about it sometime.

    Both pieces of furniture look like they have been on the front porch of a frat house.

    i went to wikipedia.com to see what’s the joke with audubon (I’m german) and not just was that cleared up, thanks to wikipedia I now know how* “autobahn” is spelled in english. made my day, thanks!

    by the way, you’re spelling “autobahn” wrong then. I mean, you don’t say “audomadic dransmission” either, do you?

    *there once once was a german game show, called the “Knoff Hoff Show”, the name referring to the wrong literal german spelling of “Know How”. only one example how obsessed we germans were with correct and wrong english spelling & translation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4bnk8c29qw
