ME GRIDLOCK!

My trip came full circle as I ended up back at my apartment.  With final measurements and plenty of options, I went back to OUTRAGEOUS CONTEMPORARY HI-TECH EUROPEAN IMPORT FURNITURE to peruse their selection one more time.  And that’s when I saw her.  A steel frame, glass top, with nice leather chairs.  It screamed CONTEMPORARY and the price was OUTRAGEOUS.  But I couldn’t say no to its sleek curves and transformer features.  Yes that’s right, transformer features.  Much like my transformer chairs, that can slide back to almost become a bed, this OUTRAGEOUS CONTEMPORARY HI-TECH EUROPEAN IMPORT table had multiple configurations as well.  After paying the fine gentleman at said boutique, we loaded up the car and I headed back to my place with a brand new addition to the household.

In case you didn’t know, large plates of glass are heavy.  Seriously, they are really heavy.  Here we go:

  • Carrying that box in from my car was like carrying in an obese midget, he didn’t want in and I had to take lots of breaks.
  • Lugging this new table in from my car was like trafficing drugs across the border, I had to strain real hard and not look suspicious.
  • Moving a table this heavy in from my automobile is like the treck to the bathroom after you poop yourself, I had to lift slowly with my legs and take small steps. (okay that was in poor taste I apologize)

You try!

[action verb denoting moving] a table this [adjective describing large size] from my [nickname for a car] was like [describe something ridiculous X], I [relate X to moving heavy table].

Okay back to the matter at hand, the glorious transformer table (who at this piont will be referred to as Grimlock). So there I am, just Grimlock and me, face to face.  I wasn’t about to let the remainder of the day pass by without a complete table in my dining room.  An hour later, Grimlock had found his new home.  Check out the pics.  Make sure to take a look at the four that show the ‘transformation’. 

Speaking of Grimlock, I still use Google Sets.  This was the first feature introduced by Google Labs, and although it has remained beneath the radar I still find great uses for it.  Case in point,  check out these transformer names.  I fed it Optims Prime, Bumble Bee, Starscream, and Megatron.  I guess I could have just google’d for "transformer names" or something, but this way is just cooler.  Trust me.

  1. Hauling a table this enormous from my motorcoach was like trying to have a meaningful relationship with Paris Hilton, I had to settle for some awkward groping in the back seat.
