YSaC, Vol. 1577: AND a second rate mime!

single seater sofa – green – $25



This is a single seater sofa – good size and super comfy
It is pick up only and you must be able to move it yourself

If only there was some sort of word in English to describe a “single seater sofa.” Some sort of linguistic construct that could be used to describe a sitting device with a limited capacity, on the order of unity. In German, I’m sure there’s some sort of compound word, like Grünekurzesofaohnebösedachs. Sadly, in English, there’s no similarly compact way of describing such a thing, and we are left with “single seater sofa.”

Thanks for the post, AM!

    I wonder if they’ll also take an offer on the human-powered two-wheeled forward propulsion device.

      I could probably get them both into my vehicle configured like a small enclosed truck but built on a car platform.

      I do like the way they staged it behind the human-powered two-wheeled forward propulsion device, but there’s simply too much glare coming off the horizontal wood-paneled ground-covering wall from what appears to be a reflective surface made of amorphous, non-crystalline silicone and a metal coating.

        I believe said reflective surface is stain-free not.aluminum on the front of a vertical icebox.

          You mean a cold storage cabinet for food, right?

    You keep using that word, Sparklepie. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

      Looks more like an otterman overflow receptacle to me.

        Makes sense to me. It looks like a beefy piece of furniture, and otters like mussels…
        I think the duck is on to something here.

    “Grünekurzesofaohnebösedachs” – a green short sofa without an angry badger?

      You have no idea how many times I’ve gone to look at a single seater sofa from Craigslist, only to find it occupied by an angry badger, simply because English fails to make a distinction between badgerful and badgerless furniture. I, for one, congratulate the Germans on having the sense to be specific about the badger-containing properties of their sofas.

        I think everyone is mis-interpreting the picture….the two-wheeled item in front is the single seat sofa…the item behind it is a comfy chair…jeez!!!!!don’t you people know nothing??????…although, I’m not sure how you could move said sofa…HMMMM.

        In my experience, men prefer beavers in their furniture to badgers.

    I’d happily purchase this item. I mean after all, there are plenty of times when I’d like to occupy a sofa-like object while my wife is out. Having this item would mean I could sofa without inefficiently using an item intended for more than one person. The only problem I have with this is Sparky’s requirement that I move it myself. I mean I’ve got plenty of friends willing to help me collect this item, but the jerk trying to sell it says I must move it myself. Sorry, the hernia’s not worth it.

      Dear Sparky—I’m responding to your post for a single seater sofa-green. I’m not interested right now in a single seater sofa, but I am looking for an overstuffed,comfortable chair. Also, instead of green, I would prefer blue. (sort of the color of that thing in your photo) If you have any suggestions, call me at ###-###-####.

    It would be nice if people would just learn their furniture. That is obviously a green half loveseat with a single seater double unicycle parked in front of it and a floor sitting wooden wall ornament with sliding pockets behind it.

    No I couldn’t possibly. Look at how sad the bicycle is to see it go, putting itself between sparky and the single-seat-sofa, in one last embrace.

    C””J, did you find any loose change or snakes in the new single seater sofa? Oh, don’t be blue, you can try again soon, I am sure. Punchity Punch Punch!

    Good Morning, People Who Read The Posts and Comments But Don’t Say Anything!
