New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for December 16, 2012

That’s my neighborhood. Put anything remotely usable out by the curb, and it disappears in a heartbeat.

So the couch isn’t flame retardant?

I was thinking it would turn out like the Chesterfield sofa in Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In Germany there are days set aside to put out items for others to take (then the city takes them away).

so… if you want (or need) to recycle a couch you deserve to get burned?

So why did it combust or explode or whatever?

don’t couches have that toxic flame retardant stuff in the cushions. also, why do you need a couch/sofa?

Sometimes the toxic flame retardant stuff doesn’t even work to reduce flames.

Okayyyyyy, but nobody lit it, and the cushions were removed, and all they were doing was lifting it.The only thing I can come up with is she booby trapped it, but how is that “Darwinism”?

We’d better not risk another frontal assault. That sofa’s dynamite!

She’s just trying to lower the 47% population…

Ever seen the Big Bang Theory episode “The Infestation Hypothesis”?

See “The curious Sofa” by Edward Gorey.

January 10 already? Did I oversleep again?

People who make poor decisions are not fit (able) to survive. They chose to pick up a booby-trapped sofa without examining it. My statement stands..Why do you like to argue so much?

@have mop will traveli guess if you need to take someone else’s trash, you’re not fit to live?
