Shit! This morning I did a Dick Van Dyke over my new couch.

[trumad]

I bought a new couch a couple of days ago for my living room and I placed it in the path of my kitchen to my den. (I never had a couch there before) Anyway, I got up at the usual 6am and poured myself a nice hot cup of coffee. As I headed to my Den in the dark house I hit my couch and flipped right over it. Thankfully my cup of coffee hit the floor and not the new couch nor my crotch. ;-)

Moral of the story? I'm an idiot!

[Misunderestimator]

1. LMAO

You never had a couch before?

(and are you ok?)

[trumad]

4. It's a new house with a lot of rooms.

We finally got around to buying living room furniture.

[trumad]

5. I'm OK

As a matter of fact I laughed my ass off because of the Dick Van Dyke comparison... Of course my wife and kids called me a knucklehead.

[Misunderestimator]

12. well, you are a knucklehead...

:shrug: glad you're ok.

[sendero]

2. Yes you are..

.... for not having a camera going :)

[meegbear]

3. OH RAWWWWWWB!

6. I am reminded of a story

Back in my youth and Dungeons and Dragons playing days (get it out of your system) we would play late night sessions at a friend's house. The caveate was we had to keep the noise down as the rest of his family was asleep down the hall. The hall the bathroom was in. The hall in darkness. The hall with the low slung chest perched lurking in the darkness at ankle level.

Invariably one of our gang would have to go at 2 in the morning. It was always the same guy. And he would always do the same thing. We would caution him about the lurking chest and we would always be audience to the same "Thunk! OW! DAMMIT!! WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN OUT THERE!!!!!!"

7. LOL!

I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh, but the way you describe it... :D

Are you okay?

[trumad]

10. Yeah..believe it or not,

these types of incidents I chalk up to a great memory and a pretty good story to tell. Of course my kids are probably telling it in school right now.

8. so let me tell you what happened to my husband many years ago

I had rearranged and moved the bedroom furniture around. The bed was in a totally different spot in the room. He got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. When he came back to the bedroom he forgot I had moved the bed. He "laid down" where the bed used to be.

Boom he laid on air so he went right down to the floor. I just cracked up laughing it was so funny but also at the same time I was concerned that he was hurt. He was okay. That was many years ago but I still laugh everytime I tell that story.

9. Did you hear cute sounding theme music when that happened??

I'm glad you're ok.

13. Tonight he'll have to do the little side-step move from the second season

:)

[terrya]

16. Oh, yeah...

And as long as Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie, Mary Tyler Moore and Larry Matthews wasn't around to see it (it would be EXTREMELY difficult for Morey Amsterdam to have been there, since he's still relentlessly dead), Trumad wasn't too embarrassed. :-)

[trumad]

18. LOL

The young DUers are going "Whaaaaa"? :shrug:

[Richardo]

11. That is a great mental image

I'm laughing at your misfortune! Or, more precisely, at the way you decribed your misfortune.
:D

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. On the bright side,

you'll side-step the couch next season. :D

15. I did the same thing not too long ago...

Added the couch to the living room, and broke my toe on it the same night. My SO heard the bone snap from across the room and freaked out. Hurt like a mofo, but the unexpected Vicodin was nice.
