Step 4: Flush deceased goldfish

Abridged version, as found by Lauren:
Step 1: Get goldfish
Step 2: Flush goldfish
Step 3: Repeat

Someday, Stool, all this will be yours.

Ahhh. Sometimes a Chair just has to survey its land. It’s a good morning to be a Chair!

If the driver is one of those people who honks instead of getting out and ringing the doorbell, that baby is going to be pissed.

(OK, there isn’t actually a baby. There’s just a stroller. But it’s funnier if you imagine a sleeping baby there, so just go along with me, will you? Thanks. Found by Cyn, by the way.)

One thing I’ve learned as a parent is that unless there are flames or spurting blood involved, it’s best to ignore behavior you don’t want to see repeated. So let’s all pretend we didn’t see this listing Sarah found, shall we?

Paging Modesty Chair. Modesty Chair, please report to listing.

Jun. 28, 2009

(Clarification, of sorts, for newer readers: the Chair is not in the original photo. It’s a Modesty Chair, in case small children wander past the screen while you’re reading this.)

Patti found this “2 Storie Guest House,” available July 1. I am confused. On one hand, the listing says — in a positive tone — that there’s a church 20 yards away. On the other hand, the listing includes an upskirt shot of a cheerleader. Just what kind of church is it down the street? And am I going to regret the visitors I get who are searching for “upskirt” and “cheerleader”? Should I throw in a few more words to head them off? broccoli James Mason blender repair mola mola

Come home, all is forgiven

Oh, no! I was just thinking this morning that Chair hadn’t shown up in a while. It turns out Chair had made its way over to the Netherlands, where Nicolet found him. Like so many people on their big youthful European trip, it seems Chair has fallen in with a bad crowd. Stop, Chair! Come back! America’s sunny backyards are waiting for you!

Yes! Ricki has found a listing that will help the USA wrest the Technicolor Dreamhouse Cup away from New Zealand and Australia. USA! USA! USA!

Help, I can’t stop putting up photos…

OK, just one more. How would you decide which table to eat your Frankenberry at?

Well, one more.

OH MY GOD THE GLORY OF IT ALL
