Gary has left the building. And tomorrow, I’ll share the tale of how Special K and I have near-mortal injuries that Gary inflicted upon us.

O-M-G. We have the cream-colored version of Gary. I hate it. No slip cover will fit on it so we can’t hide it. I prefer to ignore it. Unless forced to sleep on it which is impossible because it’s made for someone only 4’8″ tall.

Gary was a steal for someone considering he was free!! He looked healthy and free of holes. He may be fugly, but you know there is someone out there to love him. I hope he went to someone who was struggling financially and they really needed a sofa. Not that I would expect you to vet each potential free taker, but I hope he didn’t go to some asshole who won’t appreciate him. Gary deserves so much more than that.
Hope you post pictures of his replacement.

Congratulations – it’s so awesome to get rid of giant unwanted furniture!
When I read the previous post, a story my brother told me came to mind:
Our cousin had a similar leather couch. Since she lived in an area where you could stick anything out in the alleyway and it would immediately disappear, that’s how she got rid of her unwanted stuff. When she stuck her “Gary” out in the alley, someone came along during the night and used a utility knife to carefully cut away all the large leather pieces from the couch. All that was left was the wood and spring skeleton! She ended up having to find another disposal route – this time, not even for a whole piece of furniture!

Aw fare thee well, Gary. May many a fine ass attempt to find comfort upon you.
Oddly enough, I still see new couches that look just like Gary for sale in my region. I think they started using the Nike Air Pump on sofas when the houses all starting growing larger and larger. Coincidentally my ass grew larger too. I think I’m beginning to see a conspiracy theory in the making…

If it weren’t so shiny it wouldn’t be too bad? The actual sofa seems ok, well it looks like my old one.

Oh my god, my grandma has that EXACT same couch. Though gary seems to have far fewer miles on it…

Glad that you are back!! I thought that you might have gotten stuck under some falling debri (a huge pile of boxes) and that you were unable to get to your computer. Moving sucks but it is a great opportunity to get rid of crap that you don’t need and it will also help you avoid being one of those people on hoarders. (I love that show but I just don’t get why people keep all that shit cause clutter makes me nervous)
