Do you want the world's largest beanbag? I thought so. Large enough to sleep two in dreamy comfort, just barely small enough to fit through your door. In fact, you kind of have to "pour" it through your door. Don't get discouraged, it *will* fit through. unless you have a small door. I made this beanbag myself - surely you did not think you could buy the world's largest beanbag in any store! because you cannot. it is made from lavish gray cordury and filled with 120 cubic feet of foam beans. it is in good condition (maybe a little pet hair). but - oh yes, did i mention that it has been cat peed? we have cleaned it so it does not smell, the problem is that our cat has just discovered (as you will) that the pluush bean-y texture of the bag is oh-so-pleasurable, much nicer than his litter box. we can't keep him away from it!! so we cleaned up the mess but now we gotta keep em separated. so you benefit. in case you are wondering what this famous beanbag looks like, this is it here:
http://www.instructables.com/id/bean-bag-sofa-%2f-bed/
that is the actual one in the photo, it is not an imitation.
ok here's what you need to do: bring a vehicle and 50 feet of rope, and 1-2 friends. the beanbag will just barely fit in an 8-foot pickup bed, otherwise it's going on your roof. you will strap it around in 3 places, putting the rope through your windows. you will drive no more than 30mph, because this thing has a larger volume than your vehicle and the wind will push the beans around. just sit back and enjoy your time as the laughingstock of the roadway. it will be like a minivan on top of your car, except the minivan on top is made of jello and it wants you to eat that yummy jello while you are driving, and it is coming at you through your windows so you can eat it while you are driving! ok maybe it is more like 'attack of the killer slime mold'. so hopefully you do not have to drive too far with it, because every couple miles you will have to wrangle the beast back on top. i mean how could you eat another bite at this point? i drove it to san mateo with it once so i know this is possible.
ok so the beanbag is waiting for you RIGHT NOW! it is on the sidewalk outside xxx Allston Way in Berkeley. right now it is on the sidewalk. there is NO NEED to ring the bell, or call, or email, so you can come get it and nobody will know it was you. first come first serve. its a sunny weekend so it will be in good condition when you get it. if it isn't there somebody took it, i'll try to delete the ad when i notice it is gone.
care: in the future if you want to clean it more extensively, here is what i recommend: you can drain out and dispose of the beans, then wash the cover in your laundry machine. you can get a full load of replacement beans (aka "regrind") for about $30 from Bay Foam in Hayward.
