Okay, our last couch was made of porn. Well, first couch? It was my first couch. Frank liked that.
Well, the porn is gone, we've moved twice, and we got a fold-out bed. So there was no porn in it, only blankets and pillows. The sleeping bags are stored under it, tho. So it's made of bed, bed, and more bed. It's not long enough to sleep upon when it's folded.
However, we've yet another couch. It's a box with foam and fabric, and whatnot. And a pillow back. It's filled with booze and soda.
So instead of a couch made from porn, I have a couch made from ... beer. Not that I drink it.

Better off with a flat pad than couch with springs IMO. A clean floor with pillows would be preferred over broken couch, really.
I'm considering taking my bed apart and just putting the mattress on the floor but don't know what kind of bug problems I'll get as result.
I doubt house centipedes and "silverfish" crawl under a mattress (they wouldn't want to get crushed, prefer piles of paper really)...

I did that for a while. and I know several people who do that currently. I dont' think they have any bug problems.sigma999 wrote:Better off with a flat pad than couch with springs IMO. A clean floor with pillows would be preferred over broken couch, really.

They guys I knew who did it were such slobs that you'd hardly be able to identify what was causing the smell that was causing you to spew: the kitchen, the bathroom or the beer sofa. Their place was fucking foul.
The internet gave a voice to the world thus gave definitive proof that the world is mostly full of idiots.

One time I saw what appeared to be a bright red fuzzy grub crawling on me when I was sitting on my bed.
To this day, I don't know what that was, nor have I seen that again.
Bugs don't bother me, but I wish I know what that was.

Reminds me of the time I saw a queen ant...or maybe a queen termite, crawling through the dirt over at a neighbor's house. I was 8, and didn't know what it was; I reasoned it might be a butterfly trying to haul itself out of its cocoon and so I left it alone.Count_Arioch_the_28th wrote:One time I saw what appeared to be a bright red fuzzy grub crawling on me when I was sitting on my bed.

Later, I found out what queen ants look like. Given the ubiquitous fire ants around here, maybe I should have squashed it...

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Oh, I do have something to contribute in the field of unusual furniture.
For years, I had a 13-inch TV. It eventually died. An aunt donated her much bigger, ancient TV--an old one with a wooden case. It lasted two months before a switch went inside it and it never turned back on.
The parents took this as an excuse to purchase a new one for the living room and I got the old one. It lasted about three years before the power button on it broke.
For much of that span of time, it sat on top of the unworking, wooden-cased TV--because it's seriously a handy expanse of flat space. Yeah, yeah, I know, "Might Be a Redneck."
Eventually, I got tired of it, and my father and I did something about it.
We took the wooden-cased TV, pulled out all the electronics and the screen, lined the sides with boards, put a shelf in the middle of the space where the screen one was, put it back in the room, and then put the working TV on top of my new "entertainment center". It's quite nice, and I still have it. Enough room to fit a couple of gaming systems, games for both, a DVD player, a VCR, and the TV, of course, goes on top.
I may have some pictures around here somewhere...

I still hate them and try to set them back whenever I can, though.

I once had a 19" TV that had a candle set on top of it and forgotten. The candle burned a hole in the top of the TV and killed the sound.
For a while we used the soundless TV in conjunction with a little old B&W TV with the picture turned off. It was strange, but it worked.
One day the big TV got wet - I forget how. This made the picture go all staticky, but the sound came back, clear as a bell. When it dried out the picture came back but the sound went away again.

I was told you didn't need a converter if you used cable or satellite, just if you wanted to get stuff over antenna. Since antenna reception out here in the middle of Appalachia tends to be spotty at best, I usually opt for cable when I can.Crissa wrote:Are you ready for digital transmission, Count?
