The Isolated Blurt Thread XXVI: Spring Forward

[Killswitch1]

Looks like the Heywood-Wakefield wins out. It's the Wishbone table with the Dogbone chairs from 1948. Off to the shop with the McCobb.

Nice. My stuffs all bedroom stuff. 3 full size five drawer dressers a twin bed and queen bed with headboards a couple end tables and such.

I think their stuff is timeless.

this year i'm noticing a huge increase in FB protest memes against this race, due to the number of horse deaths that have occurred

there used to be a lot, but then they changed the makeup of the course and fences to even out drops and generally make it a whole lot safer.

today there were a lot of fallers, but (as far as i know) no fatalities. in fact so many riderless horses continued to run the race to the end they got in the way. i also noticed far more horses than normal being pulled up to drop out of the race. the going was very heavy this year so maybe this is a new thing as well, rather than allow them to continue and risk injury. dunno.

Dogs are disgusting.

I only keep them around to clean up the chicken bones in the yard.

I keep mine to clean up the cat shit in the yard. And he's a decent vacuum for the kitchen.

Damn fine for rinsing the dishes before they go into the DW. Or hell, sometimes they are so clean, they can just be put in the cupboard.

The dog does not want to eat off the floor?

I've never understood that either, how do you sweep up the food that will always fall. The only way I can think of is to let that food stay there for a few days and then after it hardens, vacuum it up. But ewwww on all that to crusty crumbs forever on your rug.

And who need two martini shakers? You are not supposed to drink out of the fucking thing.

 

[neci]

you are correct. and the doors! the chair and table are blocking the exterior doors, which appear to swing inside...

 

[Sean]

To stop that horrible scraping noise as you drag the chair up to the table.

 

[Saint Peter]

We should fuck them up the ass.

Lessons need to be learned.

they make this little tape, sticky on one side, soft on the other, so sounds like this never need happen. it also helps protect your floors.

But people might be drinking two different drinks....

Okay. You got me on that one.

What about the chairs blocking the doors? What is there is a fire???

You're going to jump of the 4th floor balcony?
