Cost-free OAK L SHAPED OFFICE DESK – HEAVY


We are giving out my Oak L Shaped Office desk…Pretty heavy,very nice….Bring help BECAUSE MY HUSBAND Will Not MOVE IT, OR Help MOVE IT, HE HAS A BAD BACK!!!!! No Pictures its free…Thanks

 

What? It’s an L shape. Haven’t you ever seen an L shape before? It totally looks just like that … if it’s a LOWERCASE “L”. Duh.

I’m guessing her husband threw his back out while he was moving the desk and the carpet out to the middle of the road to take the picture that clearly isn’t there because it’s free.

Thanks, Mackenzie! I’ve just realized that it’s definitely time we give you your own tag — you’re responsible for a lot of posts around here!

    No no no. The oak tree it was made from was L shaped. That’s what makes it so special.

    I’m on the hunt of a Q shaped mahogany for my next side table.

    Bring help BECAUSE MY HUSBAND Will Not MOVE IT, OR Help MOVE IT, HE HAS A BAD BACK!!!!!

    I read this as aggression towards the husband. Perhaps he likes the desk in the middle of the road and thus refuses to move it. He likes it when cars pass by and honk at him as if to say “You’re doing a great job Stan, keep it up and there’s a promotion in your future.” The bad back part is just a sarcastic jab by his wife who is clearly trying to crush his dreams of collating paper on the freeway.

      I sensed that aggression too. He has a BAD BACK and HE WON’T MOVE OFF THE DAMN COUCH. I’m not sure why we even set up a HOME OFFICE for the LAZY BUM anyway. Expect nothing from this WORTHLESS Shell of a Man. And speaking of Lower Case “L”‘s.

      I suspect that the desk is on an asphalt driveway.

      I also suspect that Sparkii-wife tasked some lay-about teens or similar youth to move the desk “outside.”
      Which they did, after hours-and-hours-and-hours-and-hours-and-hours of nagging.
      They even followed instruction to “use the rug, to protect the desk, too!”
      I’ll even wager that those assigned to the desk moving are only as knowledgeable about office furniture as whatever in in the local gamestop, so the detached “L” went as unnoticed as soap in a teenage boys’ locker room.

      In some fairness, I’ll suspect that Sparkii-wife has flogged stuff on CL before, and the buyers–when they do not send a $1000 money order and ask for the difference back–often show up Mr. Bean-like with a ’73 Civic (non-minty) coupe to collect the grand piano or arm-war or the like. And, perhaps, her spouse actually is disabled, or of limited ability–not that would stop other Sparkii from presuming otherwise.

      Or, I could be wrong, and this is all from people who would like to be as orange as the people on Jersey Shore, and the sparkii-husband is “on disability” and cannot be seen–or hansen-videoed–lifting anything heavier than a disability check (“cheque” for our UK & Commonwealth readers).

      The whole ad kind of has a ring of aggression to it. No my husband won’t help you move it you lazy poltroon, bring your own help! No I won’t send you pictures of it, you greedy pain in the keister, you’re getting it for free, your sorry sponge ass doesn’t get to be picky! As a matter of fact, you fen-sucked moldwarp, you can’t have my lowercase l-shaped desk at all because you have offended the great and powerful Sparkette! NO DESK FOR YOU!

    I wish Sparkles had not taken a close-up photo of the woodgrain when she was not taking photos of the desk, I can almost make out the image of mushroom Jeebus on the side.

      No matter what revelations exist in the woodgrain, can that black spot near the lower right hand corner represent man’s inhumanity to man?

      Just evoked rememory of having to be in a bar (yes, there was a woman involved <sigh>) where the cover band was “Tin Lispy” and they managed to excel in every worst thing that era, musical or historical, had to offer, and excel in a way as to drive off any good at all.

    No Pictures its free…Thanks

    It appears to be quite free. There’s a whole world of possibilities for a desk like this one, provided it’s friendly enough to hitch a ride. With that in mind, you can keep your opinions to yourself… I’ll be asking the liberated desk if I can take its picture.

    Or, Sparky’s now looked at her posting and thought to herself, “This is not my beautiful picture.”
    And she may tell herself “This is not my beautiful desk!”
    And she may tell herself “This is not my beautiful husband!”
    And she may tell herself “This is not my beautiful house!”
    And she may say to herself “Oh my god, what have I done?”

    And then David Byrne shows up and does a tiny dance, same as he ever was.

          I’m surprised there is not “an ap for that” . . .

          But, I’m still trying to recover from the rumor of a “steampunk ap” for the 4GS too . . .

    Somewhere, over the driveway, way down low
    There’s a desk, oak and L-shaped, free for those in the know.
    Somewhere, over the driveway, backs are bad
    And the pictures you dream of, really appear in the ad.

    Obviously, it’s an L on its side. The vertical side near us in the picture is what is usually the bottom of the L, and the horizontal side is what is usually the vertical of the L.

    You’re welcome.

    Cost-free L shaped desk – Heavy.
    Wow, that IS heavy, man. Like… wow. It’s like, the desk is shaped like an L, only a specific KIND of L. The lowercase L. Who would ever think to make a desk in that shape? That’s crazy, man. I mean… DUUUUUUUUUUDE. A lowercase L.

    And it’s free. That just blows my mind, dude. A whole L-shaped desk. Free. Wow. I just can’t … that is so… Oh, man. I think I’m freaking out.

    Awww, thank you, I’m so honored! Yes, I do live on the crazy side of town. The capital of the confederacy is full of crazy, as well as stupid and incoherent. Coming from Colorado, we didn’t realize they spoke a different language here. Still haven’t learned it. Lots of great people here too, though, I’ve even met a few on craigslist.
