YSaC, Vol. 628: Wiiilllllmmmmaaaaaa!
caveman type chase lounge – $60
very large, easily fits 2 people, nice and comfy, comes from a smoke free home, delivery available
Ashlee sends this in, saying, “Do you think they meant mancave?” Since I am not a man, and therefore don’t have a cave, I asked Dan what he thought: is this a mancave-worthy item? He grunted, scratched himself, and turned over on the settee to let the other concubine feed him grapes. I don’t know how to interpret that response.
Personally, I think this DOES look like a caveman’s chase lounge. It certainly LOOKS as though a caveman painted the design on the fabric, and it looks like it’s poised for some chasing action on the porch, just waiting for the mattress to hurdle over the tarp/ridiculously large beanbag and make a break for it. It even has the dog fooled — the chase lounge just said, “Hey, Rover, look! Defenseless children!” and Rover diverted his attention to the aft. When you’re least paying attention, that’s when it will PHOOOM.
So there you go, then.
Cavemen/man-cave-men don’t want anything that “easily fits 2 people” unless they themselves are the size of two people. Kevin Smith may be calling.
Correct. My man-cave chair bearly fits one. But you only need one when you’re taking in the glory of han…. uhh… sandpaper.
… or watching “black cock down”…
Happy belated birthday TM!
Thankies mudsy.
Happy belated birthday, since I wasn’t around. What kind of cake did you have? Quesadilla layer cake?
Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Next year I think I’m going to request a chocolate fudge layer inside the cake to round it out.
The lesser-known food groups; cake, chocolate, sprinkles, and fudge.
sarajean: no, no, no, the four main food groups are sugar, salt, fat, and caffeine. Chocolate is nearly the perfect food, because it’s part of three of the four food groups.
Jackie, I have a total girl crush on you. Your response is EXACTLY what I discovered in college, and (unfortunately?) follow to this day.
You know how to combine everything at once? Chocolate-dipped pretzels. 😀
Depends on the chocolate.
Hmmm, not sure what I think of that, particularly as some varieties of sea salt have a distinctly fishy exudation, in my experience. Maybe a salted chocolate caramel? The salt is there but it’s more subtle.
Sarajean, I’m about to one-up you.

p.s. Someone tell me how to imbed a link like that??? please????
I’ve also had chocolate with a touch of sea salt. It was surprisingly subtle, and the salt enhanced the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly.
Meredith: here’s how to embed a link: <a href=”http://www.example.com”>The text you want to be the link goes here.</a>
My example would look like this: The text you want to be the link goes here.
Except I screwed up the link in my example. Consider it a demonstration of why the http:// is important.
My example should really look like this: The text you want to be the link goes here.
Hmmm, like Maybe? If not, I’ll feel like a dummy for not understanding this.
That should be a link to what I made a guy for his last birthday. DEEEEE—licious!
Ahhh, could be my work computer is being stupid. It’s from the Dark Ages, after all.
Wait, that’s bizarro! NOt only did it not work, it just didn’t even show. Weird.
I swear I can’t win. Anyway, do as I say, not as I do. 😉
Chocolate bacon candy bar?????!!!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!!!?!!!???111
*dies of ecstasy*
Yay! I got another life!
Wait, what?
Ooo, chocolate!
I imagine chocolate and bacon would taste fantastic together. Bacon is one of the very few meat products I miss. Maybe I’ll have to buy some bacon salt and mix it into melted chocolate to get a similar effect.
Try Karl Fazer Exclusive Pistachio & Salt chocolate bar. Or Marabou Sensation Caramelized Almonds & Sea Salt. We Nordics TOTALLY rule at chocolate.
The top photo, if rotated 90 degrees clockwise, looks like hedonismbot.
hehe… I see it! Now I can’t get rid of it!
I believe he’s winking at me and has that “come hither” look.
All you need is a can of gold spray paint.
(That, plus about 990 years’ worth of advances in the technology of robots. And artificial intelligence. And hedonism.)
*(checks list)*
Checkity-check on that last one. Now I just need to find a time machine and I’m all set!
*UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE*
Have found no signs of intelligence, artificial or otherwise. Must make repairs to time machine but can find no bubble gum, twist-ties, or tin foil. Will improvise.
No twist ties!?! But…but…how do the TWIST things closed???!!!
SAVAGES!!!!
They braid together small snakes. Then they chuck them at each other and use a Multi-Use All-Fastening Device (For The Better Mint Of Men Kind!)
That falls off about ten seconds later and they end up just twisting the bag and tucking it under.
Hedonism was perfected centuries ago.
Wonder if Silva can sketch up an Ostrimu on a settee being fed grapes by a concubine? hehehe.
The concubine should either be a not.a.lion, or a not.a.Lional.
You think that Not.A.Lionel would do a lady’s job? Or would he just end up singing “Once, twice, three times a lady”?
Well after the cream fro incident he’s been having trouble finding work.
If Dan want, Bacontini also having difficulty finding work. Since Bacontini is here for everyone, he have no problem being da Ostrimu’s concubine.
Dan might have to feed himself da grapes though, Bacontini have no arms; only da fresh bacon. He also not wear frilly things.
As always, Bacontini is here for everyone, especially da ladies.
When I was younger, I always pictured a concubine as something like a porcupine. Maybe you could go with something along those lines.
So is your avatar a fretful concubine, then, Jackie?
<corey>Actually, she’s a hedgehog. Specifically, she’s the sometimes girlfriend of the cursing hedgehog.</corey> (The comics lose a bit in the translation, but they’re a great way to learn how to curse in Finnish.)
Ah, the two constants of bad CraigsList furniture photos. The sideways, I-am-able-to-post-a-photo-but-am-too-lazy-to-rotate-it-first picture, and the let’s-take-the-picture-outside-so-no-one-can-see-our-valuable-collection-of-Mr.Bill-Pez-dispensers picture.
It’s a safe bet that tarp was covering the chair until a few seconds before the photo was snapped. It’s probably been steaming under there for a while, imparting a lovely musty musk to the fungus-grey chair.
sarajean, right on the money! You must write a field guide to the typical CLer.
In other (kind of) related news, my three-pack-a-day CL mattress has been aired out and is in fine shape. It only took three days of being outside 24-7. I would have bet on a week. Next is to Lysol the hell out of it, pop a mattress cover on it, and call it another CL success story.
CL field guide:
Equipment needed:
pith helmet
binoculars
mosquito spray
butterfly net
dictionary
catculator
camera with water spots on the lens
change of underwear
Congrats on the Sealy Clostropedic!
How can you forget your antibacterial disinfectant, wet wipes, and surgeon’s mask? Considering some of of the items we’ve viewed, these seem as important as the catulator and butterfly net.
I saw something shiny and I lost focus?
Hazmat suit
Breathing apparatus
Mudsy, it happens to the best of us.
Sparky-to-English phrasebook
ten packets of spare punctuation
comma tweezers
mine hores
saddles
mine hore chow
Seal-able container/bucket for after throwing up in mouth (more than) a little?
“It’s a safe bet that tarp was covering the chair until a few seconds before the photo was snapped. It’s probably been steaming under there for a while, imparting a lovely musty musk to the fungus-grey chair.”
Maybe that’s what makes it a caveman style chair!
I am particularly impressed by the fact that this item can either be floor or wall-mounted. This could be very handy to have.
If my house falls over, I could still watch Bugs Bunny! Awesome.
It’s an aerial chase lounge, of course.
It’s a Tarp!
Pita star!
Spit Tara!
Start a Pi!
A pi start:
Once upon a 3.14159….
*this seems oddly familiar*
Yeah something isn’t quite right. Oh my god, there’s a rip in the space time continuum dead ahead! We’re being pulled…
Pa, it’s Art!
‘At’s a trip!
Re: Rip in the space-time continuum.
Yea! It means grahamT is alive and dividing by zero somewhere!
….with duct tape!
It’s a trap!
(Documentary narrator voice): First, primitive man discovered fire…then, the wheel. Shortly after: the chaise. It’s no surprise, then, that early man nearly became extinct when competitive flaming chaise racing reached its peak in the upper Paleolithic era.
This chase needs an ottom!
*On a different channel*
(As narrated by David Attenborough)
Long domesticated by man, the Caveman Chaise in the wild is a rare sight indeed. Here we can see a full grown adult male lounging in his territory. With no natural predators, the caveman chaise is confident in his safety out in the open of the suburban deck. You can see in the background the remnants of a recent kill; a mattress. Left to season in the hot sun, soon it will be decomposed to the chaise’s liking and it will be eaten. But, for now, the chaise is content to lie in the sun and have a nap. It doesn’t even snap at the young wild dog trying to muscle in on the kill. Conservation of the last remaining wild Caveman Chaise is crucially important if sights like these are to be seen in the wild for generations to come.
People, people, people….this is a CHASE not a CHAISE! Totally different species!
Coach says, “there is no ‘I’ in chase”.
True, but whose gonna notice?
Oh, apparently no one. Never mind.
But I did notice this:
whose = who’s
Luv ya Taco!
Oh snap, she noticed ^^;
It’s hard to get a picture of a chase sitting still. In fact, there is some argument as to whether a chase even remains a chase while it is sitting still.

*tips hat to TM*
(later, in the same documentary)*David Attenborough voice*:
Slowly, the female approaches. She has presented her hindquarters to the male chaise, and he responds by flashing his brightly colored armrest covers, in stark contrast to the more muted tones of the female print. The male proceeds to mount the female chaise, taking care to not disturb the one-way direction of her delicate velvety pile.
Only a few seconds later, and the mating ritual is finished. The female chaise pins the male beneath her, and he is unable to escape. Caught in her giant mandible, the male squirms as his accent pillows are devoured one at a time.
Shortly thereafter, only violently strewn bits of spring and foam hint at the consummation.
In two weeks time, the circle of life will begin anew as the female will build her nest and await the birth of her litter of 10-20 chaislings.
I felt dirty typing “her delicate velvety pile,” just so you all know.
Nice conclusion :).
The best part is that through both of those I can clearly hear Attenborough saying the lines.
Attenborough only softly whispers. Hehe…
I’m curious…what is the gestation period of a litter of chaislings again? Surely longer than 2 weeks? Does she dig a hole and bury them in the sand and then wait for them to emerge from their shell on to the beach; making a bee-line for the ocean while dodging the hungry beaks of the gulls??
Or are they born nekkid and blind and then later develop that gorgeous pelt of mauve, cream and gray? I want to know more, because I either want one of these or a hedgehog or a sugar glider.
It seems me to that it would be a pretty easy choice.
But what do I know. I’m just a robot head on a rather dubious looking spring.
Adorable! You’re bobble-magic TM.
He’s probably also Pop-O-Matic.
Would this be the female, since it’s camouflaged to match the deck?
Sugar gliders are too damn cute, but I don’t think they’re legal to keep as pets in Finland. I could be wrong about that, though. In which case, WAAAAAANT!
Even if they were legal to keep here (I don’t know why I worry about that, NYC has people occasionally turning up who keep lions and Not.a.Lions and big apes and other random wild animals that shouldn’t be kept in apartments in their, like, one-bedroom walk-ups), I think my cat would consider a sugar glider to be simply a dinner providing more challenge than usual. He’s an excellent mouser and was deeply interested last summer when a bat came in through the window one night, so other flying rodentiae would probably be interesting too. And not in the deeeeeply cuuuuuuuute way it is to me!
Reminds me of Kevin Pollack doing Christopher Walken:
Frankenstein doesn’t scare me… [long pause]
but marsupials do…… [long pause]
because they’re FAST!
*more cowbells*
That how babby is made? Amazing. I go with marsupial because the female has a pouch on the side there.
It’s an ad for a teeny-tiny, seedy bar where a neanderthal can play tag with a non-tobacco-using mine hors who accepts stale cereal for payment (OBO).
As well as other activities (too many to list).
Oh sure, cavemen say they love the chase, then they finally get it, and it’s all, oh I liked you more before were together…..
But then, once they’re on the chase and they have it, they’ll just sit there and complain. Guess some things don’t change …
Only one chase? what is the point of only haveing one.

I mean, seriously..Sigh…..
Total OT – Strep came to visit our house…woo and hoo…anyway, caught a glimpse of the brilliant CatMath artwork by Silva and was wondering…will there be merchandise with same on it soon? Apologies if this has been answered already, but like I said, Sir Strep came to visit, and I’m so freakin’ tire..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
CJ must live in Strongbadia. (Population: Tire.)
I went there for the Strong Badthlon. They have such a rich culture, an amazing space program (the SBASAF). Best vacation of my life!
Oh dear, why did I have to find out there’s a HR wiki? Now I will get nothing done today!
Rule 39: If it exists there is a wiki for it.
I can haz Wiki?
Yes, we wants CatMath merch!
Would it not be awesome if you could get a calculator with that on it?
It wold be like a paradox, but without the “known universe go splody now” bit.
Well, probably without.
But that seems a risk worth taking.
Personally, I want to see it put on a mouse pad.
Cat math on a mouse pad 🙂
Wow, *Sir* Strep? I usually only get the serf variety, myself. Consider me impressed!
It will happen. It’s the end of the semester as we know it, and I feel … overworked.
WHERE?!? WHERE IS THE CAT MAT????
HOly crap, that is amazing.
it was chased up a tree by the dog mat
😉
I can haz mat?
I can haz hazmat [suit]?
I’ve had a rule that I don’t, for the most part, use the computer on my days off, since I spend 8-10 hours on it at work. After seeing what I’ve missed the past few days, I’m going to have to ad YSaC into the “must follow every day” category.
I don’t want to be left out the next time someone’s talking about sex toys and porn. No one in my “real” life EVER wants to follow when I start those discussions!!!
Meredith, I’m having trouble limiting myself to only twice a day; snark is incredibly additive, after all.
I was an addict, but was actually giving myself anxiety from clicking back and forth, back and forth between the same sites over and over. Don’t ask me how that works, it just was.
Now I have to take days off, for my nerves and my sore neck.
Capn said “additive,” not “addictive.”
Snark doesn’t give you withdrawal shakes. It just makes you heftier.
Unfortunately* I have the ability to look at it all the time, when we have slow ** days at work, so I’m able to be here constantly if circumstances permit. Yes, I look at other sites, too, but this is definitely a favorite.***
*or fortunately, depending
**definition may vary
***Duh.
I was deprived of computer contact most of last Friday and Saturday, my 13 year old nephew visited me and I made the mistake of letting him play with my old copy of Age of Mythology. I never saw him after that unless food was involved and literally had to kick him off at midnight each night so I could get some sleep.(The computer’s in my bedroom)
I finally get back online for more than five minutes, and what do I see? Yesterday’s pron-fest.
That reminds me that I need to ask Silva if she does comissions, and how much she charges.
*Looks around* Silva? Siiiiillllva?
Guess I’ll wander over to her deviant page and post there until she picks up the internet.
I answered your deviant-note, but I’m heading out the door now. Be back later.
Simple answer to everyone:
one character sketch, outline only (no shading or color), no background: $10.
it goes up from there.
Oh dear. I used to own the cousin (sibling?) of that chase many, many years ago. Two-piece L shaped sofa that fit 10 people comfy, or 3 laying down. I gave it to the mexican immigrants in the upstairs apartment if they moved it themselves. I don’t know why they agreed to take it, except that it was big and heavy enough to hide several bodies in… maybe they needed a hidey hole? Chase looks big enough to hide one maybe two comfy… I hope if someone buys it, they check underneath the cushions. :shudder:
*looks around*
*posts “While you were f*cking around”* note*
Windrose,
Kate gets el punchito (la punchita? Languages with gender confuse me) for her “start-up sex-addict” comment. Just making a note for you in case you aren’t able to come by until such time as the YDSAC box reflects today’s choice.
I humbly submit, yrs, [random Dickensian abbreviations], etc.
Lola
*Actually saw a notepad with this on it instead of the usual “While you were out”; not to be construed as implying you weren’t away with legit reasons, I just liked the idea.
Thanks, Lola. I was seeing Alice for the first time. I loved it. Love love love it. I am going to dye my hair bright orange and wear a top hat from now on.
Oh, I was going to punch Kate before we left for the theater, but then got sidetracked reading comments. So *ahem* Kate, whomever you are, here’s your Punchity-punch-punch! You are now entered into the Second Quarter of 2010 Don’t Suck-off! Hooray!
It also appears that it was kept outside on the porch.
I’ll start the bidding at $50 for my labor to take it and throw it into a ravine.
That chaise would look really nice at the bottom of the strip mines outside of Youngstown.
There are also some ditches alongside the New Jersey Transit tracks that I saw this weekend that have been recently cleaned. (And some that weren’t.) I think that those places’ rusting home appliances and half-burnt mattresses would accent the chaise nicely as well.
*bidding war commences between Youngstown, and Elizabeth, Metuchen, and other Jersey jewels along the Northeast Corridor line*
{Pulls back tarp to reveal a crushed body. Looks up at the roof.}
“Looks like this lounge…”
{puts on sunglasses}
“chased him.”
“YEEEAAAAHHHHHH”
My lungs! They burn from laughter.
