Best Posting of an Old Couch...Possibly Ever.
Found this on Craigslist. Wanna get it just for the ad.
Dungeon Master's Couch (River Falls, WI)

Couch of Life Stealing
Climate/Terrain: Dank Basement Lair
Frequency: Common
Organization: Solitary/Small Matched Sets
Activity Cycle: Any
Diet: Weary Role-Players, Late-night Party Crashers, Unsuspecting Pet Dogs
Intelligence: Nil
Treasure: Minimal Copper and/or Silver Pieces, Occasional Collectible Figurines
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Unmolested and in its natural state, the Couch of Life-Stealing may subsist for its entire life cycle on little more than air and dust particles. When encountered by unwary adventurers, however, it can be a challenging adversary. Faced with the prospect of a great meal, it will invite weary adventurers to lay upon its "cushions," whereupon it will employ a stealth attack, sucking 1d8 HP per round from unlucky victims. Once hit, victims will also automatically be struck down by Couch's powerful "Sleep" spell. If he fails his CON save, the victim will remain under the spell's power for up to 8 hours, and his midsection will sink deeply into the bowels of Couch.
Curiously, though in the midst of attack from the Couch of Life-Stealing the adventurer may experience an almost deathlike paralysis, following a full 8 hour attack the victim will often return to full HP and feel completely refreshed. This makes the Couch of Life-Stealing both a bane of and a boon to adventurers, depending upon their immediate circumstances.
This particular specimen of the Couch of Life-Stealing has lived in peace with its local adventurers for years, and in spite of repeated regular encounters has killed no adventurers yet. This makes it rare among Couches of Life-Stealing, and therefore a valuable steal at a total cost of 0 cp.
And now for the non-D+D geeks among you:
Here is an old basement couch. It is comfy, but features weak, almost non-existent springs in the middle. This sagging has been mostly mediated by the judicious application of 2 pillows, but the couch would best be used as a basement napping sofa. Alternatively, it'd make a great couch for the kids' basement rec room--they could jump on it to their hearts' content, and you'd never have to yell at them for it. Good for curling up with someone special...or the family dog...while you watch junk tv.
Come and take it from us, please!

I Love Craigslist Free Section.
I often scan the free section of Craigslist to see what random crap people are desperately trying to rid themselves of each week. I usually find a lot of old dirty couches, chairs, and levi jeans, but this week i discovered a gem.
Clown and NIB 48 COUNT BIRTHDAY CANDLES (Robbinsdale MN)
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/zip/1056448875.html
intrigued by this small collection of items, i responded to the post. Below is the email inquiry i sent to the seller.
Dear Seller,
I am interested in the clown and birthday candles that you have posted on Craigslist. Before i commit to pickup, I have a few questions. I am concerned that a description of the clown was not included in the post. How old is the clown? What are the dimensions of the clown? What condition is the clown in? Is this clown registered and acknowledged by the clown community? Did he attend and graduate from clown college? If you could provide me with an approximate value of the clown, and an official copy of his diploma or graduation certificate, that would be greatly appreciated. I would also accept a copy of his transcript.
Timely response would be appreciated, as my son's 30th birthday is just around the corner, and i believe this clown would be the perfect gift.
Regards,
Amanda
i'll post if and when i receive a response.
