For the “Shabby Sheik” I’m picturing some horribly offensive ethnic caricature from the 1930s, like Little Black Sambo, Charlie Chan, or Sam Rayburn. He’d be dressed in a gutra, of course, with a mustache and a camel, and would be played by an actor who isn’t actually of middle eastern descent.

The camel would also be a cow with an ottoman strapped to it’s back. This is the SHABBY Sheik, after all.

Also – Sparky feels that this fine piece of furniture is worth $25… or a car? Right…

Thanks for the post, Eleanor!

    Sparky-Rick probably looks much like Dan’s description, if he insists on pronouncing a famous line od shaving profucts with a “long e” rather than a ‘short “i” sound.

    Also, the mind bender is not trading this foot locker for a car, but a car for trade only worth a foot locker.

    Wow, Rudolf Valentino has hit an all time low. He sold his camel named Clyde for this dresser, and now regrets it.

    Confession time: this shabby Sheik dresser is the exact shade of my bathroom.

      ME TOO!!!! M2N2…except instead of green, it’s blue…..blue tub, blue sinks, blue toilets, and blue wall tile…..years ago, a former sister-in-law was seeing house for the first time….she was kinda taken aback seeing the bathrooms….and stammered, “it’s…it’s…uh, BLUE?!!!!!!! Some people just have no taste. (and of course, she would say it’s me…)

        When I finished, I was like, uh, I think I just painted the bathroom bright avocado green, oops. But it’s grown on us. I picked the color out of a cute kitschy shower curtain. If we ever sell the house, I’ll have to leave the shower curtain so it makes sense to potential buyers lol.

      I used to have a dresser exactly like this one…
      …except mine was gray…with gold fleck…and it had dragon head knobs… and it was taller…and it had a vanity mirror…and it had more drawers…and the drawer fronts were covered with faux fur…and it had a sticker on the side that said, “SAVE THE GERBERTS”…and it had a circular stain on it from when I had iced tea and didn’t use a coaster…

      But other than that, they’re identical.

    Dear Shabby Sheik Sparky Rick:

    I have so many things I can trade for your nice pistachio dresser! (It’s almost minty, but not quite blue enough.) Would you like a boat? Or maybe a submarine? Or perchance that old standby, the truck o’ bees? Please advise.

    Fondly,*
    Camille

    * This may not actually be true.

    We could hide our flasks from the llamanun in this if we put it in the corner of the lounge.

      Are you hiding your flasks because you don’t want her to catch you drinking, or because you don’t want her helping herself? Only one of these should actually be a concern.

        No one likes an empty flask.

    Oh man, I’m so glad he’s willing to ship world-wide. I just moved to Palmerston Island and the shipping company dropped my old dresser of the side of the boat. It’s still only $25, right?

    Edit: I created a link for Palmerston Island, but it seems not to work. http://www.viralnova.com/palmerston-island-middle-of-nowhere/

    This is a shaggy cheek. On a shabby sheep. So there.

    [corey] Rachel Ashwell’s brand “Shabby Chic” is aggressive about protecting its name, so there are a lot of listings on eBay for variations like “shabby and chic” or “shabby chick,” etc. [/corey]
