An Imagined Life: A Nap Dealer
I won't hurt you. Come a little closer. I'm not a bad guy; I don't force nothin' on nobody. I just see you standin' there, lookin' all tired.
Whatever you need, I got it. A quick power bump? Done, easy. You wanna' sprawl out and forget about your problems for a full afternoon? I'm your man. Shewt, maybe you don't even wanna sleep. Maybe you just need ta' sit down...rest your feet...relax...well, I got the morning paper for you: Here. I. Am. And maybe, when you're done, you can tell your friends.
Hold up - what's that? You hear a siren? I'm outta here. But I'll be back, right here. You take care and sleep well...if you can manage.
If you'd like to reform this delinquent, he's located on Cuyler Avenue, just east of Sheridan.

Who makes this sofa? And where does one get one? I swear... this sofa is in every white household in America. What am I missing out on?

Any cheap chain furniture store carries these types of sofas and lounge chairs. I have always called them cellulite chairs because they looks like gross flabby butts with all the puffs and tucks. EWWW!

hejiranyc...it looks like a La-Z-Boy to me...maker of comfortable but ugly recliners, including reclining sofas, which this obviously is. I once told my boyfriend explicitly that I would never live in a house with a reclining sofa, unless MAYBE it was in a dark basement.

this reminds me of my boyfriend's parents' couch. I call it the magic couch because the minute I lie down on it, I fall asleep, any time, day or night (and I am not a nap person by any means). Their couch is a la-z-boy, as michpc said... it may not be everyone's taste, but man, it's comfortable.

geez, this looks like my parent's couch! lol it's so dated, but oh so comfortable! We have a la-z-boy loveseat we're using as a "couch" right now since our apartment isn't the largest... it's okay in comfort since it has a sofa sleeper in it, but the style of it is awesome! It's nothing like the one seen above, which is odd for a la-z-boy.
