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!]

Yeah
I'm pretty sure it's the worst thing in this post
like by far.

I would almost feel accomplished, were it not so hideous.

[aroundthecoroner]

Yeah.
Double-edged sword there.

Maybe I should leave it in Fear's temple. It is suitably creepy, were someone in the mood to go and have a chat with him.

... You know, not a bad idea, actually.
Do the gods take bribes?
Though I guess you could just be donating it out of kindness.

They only want our emotions, but I daresay that Fear would have less of an objection to this chair than just about anyone else.

Well... if that's the best you can hope for.
Though part of me hopes he hates it, too.
I think I'd feel just a little safer.

[elegant_and_proud]

Why would you feel safer if he hates it?

[aroundthecoroner]

Because the gods are like
in charge.
And liking that chair is a sign of just terrible taste.
So I'd prefer the people in charge aren't unhinged enough to appreciate it.

I suspect Fear would appreciate it mainly because it would inspire a little bit of fear in those who saw it. Or at least anyone with a fear of insects. I have no idea if it would appeal to him aesthetically.

[aroundthecoroner]

Let's hope not.

You never know. Someone liked it enough to make it in the first place, after all.
