So it's day 2 of Ikea madness,
and I figured we should set up some kind of cragslist situation,
so that people can get rid of things they really don't want.
Or if you for some reason feel like filling your house with this stuff
follow your dreams?

Anyway I found this yesterday:

[Attached is a photo of a very odd table, the front half of it, anyway. It's sticking out of an apartment wall at an odd angle, legs mostly horizontal. There's a second photo of the back half, which appears to be in another room.

A jacket is hanging off of one of the hooves. Looks like someone has found a use for it, at least.]

If anyone knows how to get this out of the wall
without like, destroying said wall
they're welcome to it.
But to be honest I'm kind of getting used to it.
Might call it "Dave".
This I'm not too keen on:

[Another image, this one of a kind of unsettling chair.]

Frankly you can just have it.
Please.

[Everyone is welcome to post their new furniture they don't want, or offers to acquire more. Michael is not going to moderate, but it's a platform at least!]

because your goofs are lame.
are you fucking with him or do you seriously have some secret alias?

[ghostlocked]

wtf its not a secret alias.
listen i appreciate everyone thinking im some secret agent but im not kidding.
my real name is david.
i dont want to be called david ergo hh.

[evocation]

david doesn't even fit you.
is halliday your real last name?
why did you pick harlan? because you wanted a cool dramatic name or whatever?

[ghostlocked]

idk. i was a teenager.
halliday was the last name of the foster fam i was w. at the time. seemed fine.
so no its not my real last name.
i sound like a detective from some cool noir movie tho dont i?
i stand by it.

[evocation]

i guess.
i can't believe you didn't tell me about your boring real name.
that's like a primo bff secret.
i guess it's not a secret now though so never mind.

[ghostlocked]

idk. it never came up.
id be cagier abt it if we were home but were not.
whole point of changing it was so ppl wouldnt recognize me.

[evocation]

oh. i guess that makes sense.
at least david isn't as bad as raridan.

[ghostlocked]

lmao. true. no wonder he keeps that shit buried.
gonna start callin him dan when we get back.

[evocation]

i don't think anything beats raridan.
it's like the name of some bitter asshole noble that the main character is engaged to against her will in one of those cheesy period romance movies.

[ghostlocked]

lol.
ig thats why he goes by tucker.

[evocation]

duh.
you think michael's real last name is munroe?
it's all perfect and alliterative and shit just like yours is.

[aroundthecoroner]

Uh
I hate to interrupt
but Munroe is definitely my real last name?
I guess my parents just wanted matching initials
I don't know.
My middle name doesn't start with M though.

[evocation]

so you guys both get to have cool james bond sounding names and i don't?
bullshit.
what's your middle name?

[aroundthecoroner]

Luck of the draw I guess.
Sorry for your loss.
And I'm not telling you that.

[ghostlocked]

tell me.

[aroundthecoroner]

No.

[evocation]

what? why not?
are you one of those people who never tells anyone your middle name?

[aroundthecoroner]

I guess I am now.
Not that I've really told people before.

[evocation]

what letter does it start with?

[Don't let her guess, Michael.]

[aroundthecoroner]

Oh no.
I'm not that dumb.
If I give you the letter you'll eventually get it.
But first you'll give me a bunch of horrible stuff.
And then when I don't tell you
you'll decide it's the worst one.

[This ain't his first rodeo.]

[evocation]

wow, do you think i'm an asshole or something?
is it ernest?

[aroundthecoroner]

No I just know how the middle name game works.
And no it's not Ernest.
Jesus.

[evocation]

okay fine, guess mine.

[aroundthecoroner]

[How does he say this in the least offensive way possible?]

Do I need to be familiar with elf naming conventions?

[evocation]

kyna is gaelic, not elvish.
what do you think?
