You know you want it

Yeah, I know that my last few posts have just been a “hey look what I found on the net” little quicky, but I have one last one! I promise, this is it and I’ll write something with some substance.

In one of my ever lasting quests to find the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything I stumbled upon supurbly written blog. One particular post caught my attention though when scrolling though the pages (reading is overrated). I think it was the picture that really caught my eye. The following is an excerpt from the post, you can read the whole thing here.

Selling stuff we’re not moving
March 30th, 2005

Its a good thing Lisa has a flair for writing ad-copy - cuz, if it were left up to me, not only would the ads be boring, we’d probably not sell a damn thing…

I remember watching Good Times on this and Three’s Company, Growing Pains, the Facts of Life, Webster, Punky Brewster, Gilligan’s Island, the Partrige Family and the Banana Splits. It’s like, from the long long ago. The before time. Pre-cable.

It’s an RCA-100. Wooah. With a REMOTE CONTROL. Bonus! and…..a table top antenna!!! Get out!

I don’t know how big the screen is, we’re moving and I can’t find the tape measurer. But I do have a banana. For scale. Oh wait, my husband says it’s 19inches. Oh well, I’ll leave the banana for interest. Please be interested.

We’ve moved on. But that doesn’t mean you have to! It’s very cool to be “vintage”! And this tv is definitely that.

Its definatly the bannanna that did it for me. How about this add for a waterbed-less waterbed frame posted here

Bed frame; Waterbed frame sans waterbed

I don’t know what to say about this lovely queen sized piece of ….waterbed frame. I can tell you it’s in excellent shape; no dents, no gouges, no acid spilled on it, no vermin living anywhere in it, nobody has ever been exorcized on it, it will not under any circumstances levitate. That I know of.

Um, it doesn’t have an actual “water-bed”. I’m not sure why. When I met my fiance he had a crappy old queen sized boxspring and mattress in it. Being the loose slut that I was at the time, I was entranced by the concept of a waterless water-bed and slept with him immediately just to see what it would be like to wake up in that fine looking bed. The sparkle and excitement quickly faded though (not the boyfriend, the bed set up) as I started loosing jewelry, hair clips, small pets and other important items when they would fall into the shelves that were almost completely occluded by the mattress set. But I digress. It really is a decent frame and perhaps with a lower mattress you wouldn’t be as disenchanted as I was with the “black holes” that the shelving became with an extra pillowtop mattress set. Or hey, here’s an idea, put an actual waterbed bladder in there.
Oh, there is a matching slightly grotty dresser listed here as well.

Check it out. You too could be impressing loose chicks like my now fiance did. Hell, he got some. So can you, with this bed frame!
