12 Single Couches Great Condition
Cash only and pick up only please
You know, where I come from we call these chairs.
If they were French Prudential couches I would think about it. (Huh, it’s been a while since we had a good French Prudential post, hasn’t it?)
Thanks, Angela!
Want a Not.A.Lion t-shirt AND a Llama-nun's Prayer mug? How about a Cat Math mousepad? Of course you do!
All are now available as t-shirts and other things! (The llamanun mugs contain the YSaC group prayer on the back.)

Well of course it’s a single couch. The married ones are at least 2-seaters.
And then they have sextionals.
Is THAT where all of the teeny, tiny little armchairs at Pottery Barn Kids come from?
Huh. The things you learn on YSaC.
Really? No one had the first thought that I did? Must just be me….

Joy To The World, Hammy – only us old farts remember Three Dog Night…..
Too true, jeremiah was a Bullfrog.
Mama told me not to come.
Hmmm…does that make me an old fart, or does it just mean I was raised properly?
….And a good friend of mine.
And I think you’re all straight shootin’ sons of a gun.
No, I’m not old enough to remember Three Dog Night, but I do anyway.
I never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine. And he always had some mighty fine wine!
I am old enough to remember. I was in high school. Blech. Music helped so much to get me through that experience.
*whispers* I only know this song because it’s popular at Karaoke bars.
I don’t think I qualify as an old fart yet but I have a record of Three Dog Night. I once had a slightly drunken professor stumble up to me at a conference and insist I was too young to be named after a character in Dr. Zchivago. I had to point out that my parent’s named me and they saw the movie in the theater. The book is still also in print after all.
Do these couches go in the halls of Shambala?
“Shambala” for the Win!
Do you take the Marrakesh Express to Shambala?
*looks around the Snark Lounge, whistles to self, taps toes, cuts another slice of coffee*
Yep. 9:30am and I’m all alone in here. Sigh. I feel like a single couch right now.
Some of us have livesSome of us had to sober up firstSome of us had to walk the dogs……
Morning ‘Manda
Walk the dogs…. is that what they called it in your day?
Huh… learn something new every day.
My idea of walking the dog is sitting on my horse with the dog’s leash attached to the saddle horn.
Airborne:
Walking teh Dog…..
Sadly, it WAS walking the dogs…
Ouch, Dad! Mean! Looks like the kids will be getting a diet of pixie stix and red Kool-Aid before Grampmommy and Grampdaddy babysit tonight. 🙂
Sorry, Manda, I overslept. But it looks like Meredith snuck in while you weren’t looking. She must have used her ninja skill’z.
It appears she snuck in while I was typing. She’s quiet, that Meredith. Must be part cat…
Oh well, just further solidifies me looking like a nutcase.
There was never any question, we know who
warpedraised you.Thanks for cleaning up the lounge, Manda. It looks nice, with the lace doilies on the tables.
What did I tell you!!!!! NO. LACE. DOILIES!!!!!!
:::shudder::: sorry, went a little Mommy Dearest on you there. Had a flashback of my college roommates. :::shudder shudder:::
What is the bloody point of a doily (lace or otherwise)?
To make Meredith go crazy, obviously. 😉
My best guess? It’s easier to wash a doily than it is to clean the upholstery on the sofa/armchair.
Very good, Bridgete! The ones on chairs and sofas were called antimacassars, because they were placed where a man’s head would hit the upholstery and prevent soiling from his Macassar hair oil. This would be late 19th century.
Now, class, turn to page 34 in the rule book.
Recall, too, that doilies were ‘knit’ (term-of-art is tat).
The tatting of doilies being seen a s good task for young ladies lest they play with their lupens and daffodils or the like. Which could lead to that ultimat UK methodist horror: dancing! (the shame the shame).
A house full of normally-hormoned girls could doily up like it was snowing tat, too. After a while, people expected to see doilies on doilies on doilies. You get them 3, 4, deep, they are a decent coaster, other than one’s glass is very “tippy” (yet another reason for a saucer under the tea cup).
Next time you see a grandmotherly house chock-a-brim in doilies, just consider all the pent-up sexual frustration that represents . . .
{knew i could skeer that silly old Line <G&gy;}
All work and too many doilies make Meredith go something, something…
Herve again?
Thanks Windy!
English is a dynamic, ever-changing language. You forced me to google couch, and apparently couches can be single-seaters. What next, a one-passenger bus?
Sparky was special, the single passenger bus kind of special.
Yep, that works.
Window tasting and helmet testing.
I especially like how the words awesome and terrific have mutated.
Kind’a interesting…….
Silly are the goddy tawdry maudlin for they shall christgeewhiz bow down before him: bedead old men, priest and prester, babeling a pitterpatternoster: no word is still the word, but, a loafward has become lord.
Ronald Suffield, “The Tenth Beatitude”
Well, it does seem to also fit “lectus” if not in the proper Roman sense of it, though.
Those can’t be couches. There is no way to lose the remote or loose change.
Throw in magical dog hair repellant and you just described my dream couch.
Apparently single couches are for folks who are forced to park themselves between the yellow lines. Those narrow parking spaces just won’t hold a full-sized couch anymore.
Wasn’t there a post waaaay back in the early days for sofa that had a picture of two chairs? I swear this post is giving me deja vu.
Drink plenty of water and take two ibuprofen. That vu stuff only lasts about 18 hours.
You’re right! I’d forgotten about the 2 part sofa. And I made the same joke there as well.
I’m clearly running out of ideas.
Never… the best things are worth repeating.
Notice the number of comments on that page–I think you’ve got some more followers now, drmk. Let’s let us newbies get the good jokes too 🙂
Seven comments and one is spam. I wonder why I didn’t comment back then? I was probably scared.
Okay, so I followed the link, and of course I had to read the comments. The last comment is a spammer, I think anyways, drmk.
Yep, looks that way. Sometimes things sneak through the filter, and since it looks like that posted six months after the original post, I must have missed it. Oh well, it’s a charming little spam, isn’t it?
If by charming, you mean completely impossible to understand*, then yes, it is charming.
*I originally typed “incomprehensible,” but I don’t know if it’s spelled correctly.
Actually, when we start repeating things here they become memes. You’re just adding to the wiki!

Damn Yoda fever.
I thought that repeating things made them memes?
Do the things that we repeat become memes?
I am starting to think the question mark is not my friend.
Me me me me me me me me me.
It’s the me meme.
Do me memes require question marks? Are the question marks repeated?*
*??
Memes are those things, oft’ repeated.
If they were not, we would feel cheated.
But repeated they are, ’tis just our luck,
so all in all, we give a … best wishes.
Hmmm…I get the feeling “best wishes” was something else. But, I have no idea what else it could be…
I know, NMN. Why’d you suppose Grampdaddy didn’t want to say “bee filled truck”?
Actually christina and NMN, I was thinking of a “pleasant pheasant pluck”. Whatever were YOU thinking?
Christina was thinking “bee-filled truck”, as she wrote. 😛
Thank you. Bridgete. Now, why Grampdaddy still thinks that’s dirty, I don’t know. I’m not sure I want to either.
You know, whatever the name of this furniture is, it looks quite useful if you need a way to ensure that your guests don’t stay too long.
They’re very much the kind of furniture that would encourage you to move on, aren’t they? They look like they belong in wannabe-swanky hotels.
I’m not the only one who decorates with this in mind then?
The only thing better than a guest who doesn’t stay too long is one who doesn’t arrive in the first place.
The design is stylish, particularly for a Craigslist ad. They’ve gotten new interior decorators in Ish now.
The very best guest is the one who brings something and refuses to stay longer than just to drop it off , unless you’d like them to do some dishes or housework.
Edit – just pretend this in the right spot, okay?
Actually, they have a “look” of bank waiting-area furniture, which may mean Sparky bought the whole set for $10 and $2 auction commission.
Only thing more expensive than putting all that hardly-used furniture in a bank is when it goes to the Sheriff after the Receiver is done with it.
le Sigh
Well, I had a chat with the dining room chairs and the chester drawers and I’ve got the scoop on why the couch is single.
Apparently he still lives with his mother and can’t do laundry or cook. He’s a bit of a French pervertial and will chase anything with 4 well-turned legs. Rumor is that while he appreciates a nice chester, he’s actually an ottom man.
*giggle*
Manda, you’re hot today! 8)
Hey now, Windy, I think she still looks slightly underage. Hot or not, you watch yourself there.
Unless you’re looking for a visit from our friend Chris, that is.
Can I
harassplay with Manda please?Don’t be jealous, Meredith, I still love you best. 8)
Well thank you, Windrose! You’re lookin’ pretty good yourself! 😉
Get a sectional, you two!
Those tiny, single couches are maligned for their height and can’t get dates anymore. The tall couches are just too picky. If you take these couches into your home and boost their self-esteem they will inflate into Full Size Couches and be comfortable in social situations.
“Pikachair! I choose you!”
***Pikachair has evolved into Raisofa***
Do you have to rub them the wrong way?
They are made from Elephant foreskin…
I say you have to rub them the RIGHT way….
Maybe it’s just the camera angles and background, but the single couches look like doll furniture to me. Now, I really need furniture, but I need it in human size.
Since you are moving, wouldn’t it be easier if all the furnitur reduced in size to 1/12th normal?
Would make it a lot easier to heave up and down stairwells, if nothing else.
Yes, it really would be awful if you got your sofa stuck in the stairwell.
It’s even worse when no one has mentioned that the heavier-than-a-planet sofa is a sleeper, and the mattress opens out half-way down the the stairs . . . [pains and agonies well remembered]
Laurel, I’ve done just that more times than I care to remember. Even worse is getting a piano stuck in the stairwell and having to disassemble it to clear the stairway. Several hundred dollars gone in one crappy move.
I would love it if I could shrink my furniture every time I move. What I’d also love would be shrinking my car every time I get somewhere — I’d make it matchbox-sized and carry it in my pocket. I wouldn’t have to search for a parking spot, and I wouldn’t have to memorize said spot in order to find the car again. AND, it would never get stolen!
You would have to remember to get out first……..
Well, what Coff said, and you’d hate for it to drip fluids, too . . .
But it could fall out of your pocket and that would suck. Or worse, you accidentally hit the button that makes it full sized while it’s in your pocket.
Hey baby, is that a sedan in your pocket or are you happy to see me? 😉
Christina, you win.
I was looking at the picture thinking they were the 12 single couch smoker’s circle outside the office building… Does that not look like it’s in the middle of cigarette butt hell to anyone else?
Yes! You too can bring that smell into your house!!!
Wait, they have 12 of them? So there are 12 singles? Seems like some of them might want to hook up!
Maybe they’re siblings and *not* royal or from Tennessee.

I can understand why this is out in the parking lot. Seems to me it would be hard to fit a 12-pack of couches on the grocery store shelf.
OT: I know, I’ve been MIA. I have a new-ish retail job, but I’ve been there a few weeks so that’s not the whole reason. It’s mostly just that I got really into the book I was reading (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and even YSaC couldn’t drag me away. 😉
OT 2: Bar exam results are probably going to be sent out next week. They have to be sent by Nov. 15th, but in previous years it’s been around the last week of October. Soooo, anyway…I’ll let you know when those come in. Fingers crossed!
Bridgete, I totally understand! The movie was IMPRESSIVE! My film club is going to show the sequel as a special viewing, and then fit the last one into the rotation for our next season. Lisbeth is something special. I want to read the books after I see the movies. If only we had a book club here that wanted to read those books too!
I just read all three of those books, so I’m ready to discuss them whenever they’re on our book club rotation. I haven’t seen the movies, though.
I’m now on the second one. I finished the first in less than a week, I imagine the second will be about the same. I have to go pick up the third. Is it in paperback yet?
I got my fingers crossed too, not that you need it, you’re brilliant, so of course you passed! Good thing too, retail jobs in New Ish can get pretty hectic right around Black* Friday.
*No, Al, it’s called that because I was born on that day, at least that’s what my mom tells me.
Even if I get an attorney position THAT quickly, I probably won’t abandon my retail job at such a crazy time. Don’t worry, I’ve worked retail on Black Friday and over Christmas before. Of course, this was in high school when I had much more energy…but still, I know what to expect. 🙂
So when you pass the bar, what’s next?
Stepping over the line…
Those of us with Irish background have never passed a bar.
*Wishes Bridgete huge amounts of peace of mind and stress-free days and nights while waiting for spectacular results.*
I have an Irish background. I don’t pass THOSE bars.* But I would like to pass this one. Thanks to everyone for your good thoughts!!!
*At first, I typed bras, because I just got home from work. Anyone want to guess what retail establishment I work for?
Home Depot? :p
Oh dear. I’m suddenly picturing Severus in fancy lace negligees and so on.
Hahaha, I think if that’s where I worked, I would be dealing with far more lost-looking women, and far fewer lost-looking men. As it is, it’s HIGHLY entertaining to deal with the men coming in looking for a gift for their wife or girlfriend.
And now I’m picturing a lingerie section in Pet Smart.
I guessed “Bras R Us” – they tend to be really big here in the Midwest.
Oh, and Smedley, for the real answer to this — I continue my search for attorney positions, but I should be more successful in actually getting one when hiring me isn’t a gamble based on my bar exam results.
Good deal. Although I wish it was sooner. I would have engaged your services to take someones beak out of my wallet.
I’ll only be licensed in Mass anyway…meaning I’m not really allowed to practice in other states unless I work with an attorney who is licensed there.
So you can only represent Catholic priests?
Could be lucrative…
Dang, new commenter Todd is in the Golden Lotus, but chances are slim he will show up again and find out. Oh well, still was an excellent comment.
I thought he would end up in the box. Every morning I go re-read the day before and try to guess who will not suck. I’m getting pretty good at guessing right.
Now if only I was that good at picking lottery numbers.
I’ve been challenging myself to guess whether it’s dan or drmk writing the post each day. If I read the post through a feed reader, it doesn’t show the “posted by” bit. I’ve gotten fairly good.
OT Fun: Unspeakable Vault (of Doom)

I really think with some better marketing these things would go quickly. Some sort of a promotion…
Ooh! I’ve got it!
*For a limited time only, get a free dead snake! Only in specially marked packages of COUCH!
Whaddaya think?
Probably don’t want to go with dead. Something peppy… Eye-catching…
Decomposition enhanced!
Mostly Skeletonized! Just in time for Halloween!
Real vibrant odor!
100% organic!
OT, but germane–news story today out of CA about a rreal estate agent who has been driving around with the mummified corpse of some homeless woman in the passenger seat of her car.
That’s one way to get into the HOV lane… Traffic out there is a Bitch!!!
I always wanted a half rack of couches.
I just realised…it looks like the pictures were taken in a parking lot. The second picture (on the right) has a yellow line in the upper-right-hand-corner.
That’s why I’m thinking these are being resold from the bankruptcy sale of some bank or S&L.
Is it just me or do these “couches” look like muppets?
“Oscar the Couch” perhaps?
“Twelve of these things are not like no other, twelve of these things are all of the same.”
Found a crib-sheet with similar furniture, and not only are they muppet-hide, they are stackable . . .
(Just the thing only a banker would love)
Actually, I could use 2 chairs just like these for the corner of my living room because I never get to sit on the sofa unless the dogs are outside.
My dog has a couch she’s claimed too. The only couch directly facing the TV. Oh the evil glares she will give if someone sits there. And if someone sits down while she’s there, even if they leave her plenty of room, she will kick them.
I have a love seat and otterman, anytime I sit down four dogs must keep me company.
One on either side, one on my chest looking me in the eye wagging and saying, “Hihihihihihihihihi” and one across my feet.
Makes it a tad difficult to watch TV.
This may be just the thing for the Demon. Slaptimus, I’m guessing that since he has 16 arms he may have at least 12 asses…
OT: I saw somebody walking a kitten on a leash earlier. It was the cutest, most bizzare thing I’ve seen in a while.
What did the kitten look like? I sorta want to get a Savannah cat some day, because they are big, like to walk on leashes, and are dog-like in some of their behaviors.
http://www.pictures-of-cats.org/savannah-cat.html
Aww, I want one too! The kitten I saw was a gray long hair, probably between 6months and a year old, not quite full grown, and wearing a teeny tiny harness. Very well behaved (except for trying to climb onto the shelf at one point) and very adorable.
Savannahs are said to be great companion pets, too. You just need to be able to afford to feed them (and the accessories are of a unique size, too)
They say that if you start early as kittens, you can convice them to be bathed in tubs, and to swim and the like, too. Need to human-socialize them early, so you can do nail care, and teach how to play with dogs and kids apporpriately, too.
I had a friend who would take her lop-eared rabbit out in the yard on a leash, so I guess it’s not that weird.
Better than letting them run around free and get into trouble
I used to walk my Iguana on a leash, he was 6 feet long including a 4 foot tail.
(His name was Hash cuz he got into my roommates room and ate his stash, haha!)
He lived to be about 20 years old, once when he was just a wee lizard (2feet long) I had him on my shoulder in the grocery store. Some lady saw him and said, “Is that real, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” as he jumped onto her shoulder.
Dang lady almost scared poor Hash to death!
There’s a guy who lives in Downtown Portland (or, that’s where he lived the last time I was there) who walks around town with a cat on his shoulder like a parrot. The cat just chills up there, totally nonchalant. It’s awesome.
He’s still around. Hangs around Central Library and the cat is as chill as ever. I love it when someone spots him for the first time.
Hey. Tried to send drmk* an e-mail about this, but outlook had a brain fart. You have a broken link. Awful Library Books has moved their website to http://awfullibrarybooks.net . I really enjoy coming to this site, since most of the commentary is fairly intelligent and has minimal idiocy. Sarcasm and rapier wit abound, however.
*Bees be upon her.
Minimal idocy? Clearly, you haven’t been reading my comments. 🙂
Lady Havoc, I feel honored to be in the Snark Lounge with you! Love Awful Library Books, great stuff. 8)
It’s getting late here and I can barely keep my eyes open. Good night all – The Chordettes – Mr. Sandman…..
*yawn* huh? What, it’s almost Sunday? Jeepers!

G’night, Shambala!
