Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's a remora, dimwit.
When someone says "replaced the futon", to me it moreso implies that something unpleasant happened to the previous futon, like someone with some unfortunate condition, perhaps Ray's, couldn't make it to the bathroom in time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have no futon. Like a good penniless young thing, however, I do have a futon frame. It is what I have instead of a box spring. I do not love it enough to give it a name. To me, sleeping on a futon it roughly equivalent to sleeping on a carpeted floor, so why not spare the expense and sleep on the floor? (Note: I sleep reasonably comfortably on the floor.)
Madrigal, thanks to your post I am fixated on my friend Snacky's amazing ability to turn ordinary phrases into porn. "Don't come in, mom! I'm -- replacing the futon!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Y'all have the wrong futons, I swear. I've never owned a normal mattress, because I haven't found one that's more comfortable than my futon mattresses. My chronically unable to sleep father was very surprised when he came to stay. Pleasantly so.
I don't use folding futon frames anymore, though, because I never fold them. I use platforms instead.

This amuses the heck out of me. I'm now all askeerd of the wrong futons. (and this also sort of recalls Wallace and Grommet's the Wrong Trousers)

I'd keep an eye on yours, Sean. You may have made nice with it, but it is probably still harbouring resentment.

I am, as it happens, dubbing A Grand Day Out right now. Everything Wallace says now looks like he's saying "It's the wrong futon, Gromit!"

Everyone knows that Nick Park's next full length movie will be a Wallace and Grommet, right? No other details (I'm not sure I've even read a title).
Hmm, to the imdb-mobile, away!
eta it's The Wallace and Grommet Movie.
And NO FAIR - there's a Creature Comforts TV series... in the UK! 13 episodes! That better make it over here. Grrrrrr.

(And it's not really a TV series, Ken -- they're 13 10-minute shorts.)

But still. WANT! I wonder if they'll get released as a single feature like the Aardman (Aardmen?) festival a few years back? Although 130 minutes would be a tad long for an animation fesitval.
