troll   \_ thank goodness you're getting a new one -- that one's pretty ugly!
et al      \_ thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks so! - cynthia
                \_ it has a certain something... not a good certain something,
                   but something.  It shows a certain kind of... taste.
                   \_ the kind known as "bad"?
                        \_ I bought it for $50 from my roommate who was
                           leaving town, 8 years ago.  It is not
                           particularly a reflection of my taste.  And I
                           challenge you to find a better couch for free. -tom
                             \_rent a truck, check craigslist. it's easy to
                             find good couches and beds for free, people just
                             want them out. (this posting case in point)
                           \_  My couch could like TOTALLY kick your couch's
                               ass.

                           \_ tom's trying to get a free couch upgrade here...
                           \_ You _paid_ for that?  Wow... I put the trash
                              out every Wednesday night.  Can you stop by and
                              pick it up early Thursday morning and pay me
                              $50/week?  Another $25 and you can have the
                              recyclables, too.
                           \_ what does your new couch look like?
                                \_ we don't have it yet.  -tom

        \_ i hope you're enjoying this, mr. tom. this is the atmosphere
           YOU created many years ago.
                \_ what are you talking about, ikiru?  -tom
                   \_ if you have to ask, you don't know.
        \_ You can censor the comments but the couch is still ugly.  You're
           going to have to pay to get it hauled away.  Or you could just drop
           it on someone else's front lawn in the middle of the night.  It's
           Oakland, right?
