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!]

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?

[aroundthecoroner]

I think I don't know gaelic names, either.
God, I don't know.
Marie?
That's everyone's middle name.

[evocation]

lame. no.

[aroundthecoroner]

Okay well
at this point it could be anything.
So the smart thing would be to ask for a hint.
But then you might ask for a hint back.

[evocation]

wtf.
why would i do that to you?

[aroundthecoroner]

[Mmmmm put up or shut up, girl.]

Okay.
This is me asking for a hint then.

[evocation]

it starts with a g.

[aroundthecoroner]

[Oh good, great.]

Uhhhhh
Gina???
Gertrude?
Gayle?
There's not a lot of G names.

[evocation]

nope, nope and what the fuck is gayle?

[aroundthecoroner]

Also seen it spelled Gail?
I don't know it's a name.
Gretchen?
