YSaC, Vol. 1624: Yaag ruggwah maw huah huah?

2013 November 8

This sturdy wooden dresser has a big mirror (not shown) and 9 drawers that are covered with fabric. They have two-tone beige-grey faux fur. It’s staple-gunned on, so you could easily remove it to change it to your preferred fabric. The layer under the fur is black Jedi fabric, and before that, the drawers were Peter Rabbit.

It’s on the curb and supposed to rain Monday, so if you could get it today, that’d be great!

Please include your cell number for texting purposes if you’re interested or have questions.

There is nothing technically wrong with this ad. I just want to know — how many Wookiees died so that Sparky could upholster their dresser? The progression from Peter Rabbit to Return of the Jedi to Wookiee massacre is clear; did no one see the warning signs? Won’t someone think of the Wookiees?

Thanks, Suzi!

    The Force is strong in this dresser.

    Probably in the middle drawer, I’d wager.

          Perhaps peril-sensing tomatoes were stored within this, er, artifact, and that is why it’s being left by the curb in the rain–seeing as how tomato pureé and fur are less well-matched and all.

    Peter Rabbit is a gateway to furryism. Peter Rabbit: Not even once!

    Finally! The perfect accessory to complete my evil den of doom! It’s going to go perfectly with my goat sofa ( see: http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/?p=7941)

    Just in case this ISN’T wookie fur, I hope someone picked it up before the rain started, and didn’t feed it after midnight.

    It’s spelled “wookie faux fur dresser,” but it’s pronounced “tart’s boudoir.”*

    Spark’ has failed to mention if this, ahem, item, has had its shots, been dipped for fleas and cow ticks, etc.

The Beeb paid to have the room redecorated entire, to specific client wishes.

    I think that center drawer is where they keep all of the toys for Wookie Nookie.
    Unless they are into midgets, then we’re talking props for the Ewoks’ Box and [Roosters].

    Sorry fellas, I can’t make it to The Lounge today. I have to help my girlfriend shave her drawers. Then she wants me to dresser. She thinks it will strengthen our relationship.

    Rather oddly specific that the pelt-er-fux-er-whatever was/is “staple gunned” on.

    Not all staple “guns” being the same. My old Bostitch 16ga would happily drive 1″wide crown roofing staple 1-1/2″ through asphalt shingles.

    Which is a different sort of thing than using an upholstery stapler, or, as I suspect, that silvery doo-dad from the office supply store better known as a hand stapler.

    Those 1/2″ crown 1/4″ stationary staples would be a tad easier to remove, should a person be inclined to follow Spark’s idea of skinning the dresser (what sort of attire one makes from nine ragged fux pelts each with a hole from a drawer-pull a question probably best left aside).

    you could easily remove it to change it to your preferred fabric.

    That’s like saying “What do you want on your pizza, dog poop or cat poop?”
