sweater, towel, rug
Item:
A black sweater, a bluegreen towel (with nasty brown stains!), and a fuzzy orange yarn rug.
Why it’s here:
Well, it’s summer, so the sweater isn’t really pulling its weight. Got to make room for halter tops and daisy dukes, right? The towel looks pretty wrecked, so I’m guessing the owner bought a not-frightening replacement. And that rug? Orange is no longer the new black. It’s the old ugly orange again.
Probable recipient:
Someone who is cold, wet, and sick of our building’s hardwood floors. I’m hoping for a disoriented Tarzan, shivering in his loin cloth after a Portland rainshower and hoping to simulate, however poorly, the leafy undergrowth of the forest floor.
Where that weird towel stain came from:
I daren’t speculate.

I would contend that this is a yellow rug, not orange. Curse you, miscategorizations!

You had to be there. The camera is a dirty goddam liar—the lighting in there has a unique aspect to it that makes everything look not quite right.

[…] The losers include the Creed CD (someone took the Meditations disc), orange rug and scary towel (someone took the sweater!), food companion (which has been, adorably enough, tucked into blue basket), and maybe building property broom. […]

I have some towels exactly like that. They were very, very cheap, nasty Wal-Mart towels. The “stains” are flaws in the dye; they appeared after washing the towel a few times.
They’re not pretty, but they dry things off fine.

I have enormous respect for cheapness. You have redeemed that towel.
