COUCH

                              
The couch in question has a long                                
history with me, a long chain of
associations.  When we were     
first setting up the group house
I'm in, I spotted a nifty couche                                
at Thrift Mart, on sale for $20:                                
a grotesque orange and green                                    
floral pattern, with a high back                                
and wooden trim.  Oddly enough,                                 
one of my housemates didn't                                               
appreciate the idea, and                                        
couldn't believe I didn't want                                  
another couch that was there:                                   
low, red, fifitiesish, and to my                                
eye terribly boring.  It's only                                 
advantage was that it was very                                  
long.  We wound up playing                     One of the first of many 
Roe-sham-bo to settle it, and I lost.          house decisions I lost.   
                                                                        ROE

Over time, I got it moved from the     
living room to the front porch (it's   
so long it tends to dominate any      
living room arrangements).  Though     
more recently I've unsuccesfully       
argued for moving it back in in              The joys of group living. 
favor of the ugly shapless blue couch  
we have now. 
              
I suppose I could talk about things that've happened
on the couch, but this is clearly too long already.          (see WARNING
                                                              below)
