is a piece of the fabric, a part of the sofa;
if a cushion be thrown to the curb, The Couch
is the less, And therefore never send to know for whom
the door bell tolls; it tolls for thee. -John Doe
Last week by a fortunate mishap of fate I found myself at the most wonderful Music Festival I’ve ever attended. Couch by Couchwest. Where the beer is cheaper and the only hipster is you. I don’t remember how I got there or if I’ve even left.
I soon came to realize that I wasn’t the only like minded Couch Spud ensconced in Slack-assery, there were other Couchalotist’s out in the twitterverse. A whole community of Couchster’s pondering the depths of their shag carpets and the wonders of the multitude of dust balls, snack crumbs and cat and dog hairs that share the vastness of this comfy rectangle we call Mother Couch.
Shenanigans as best as I can recall them:
