any different? And we don't believe in hiding our
mistakes either, so we put them on display in all their
ugliness for everyone to see. Our Gorman's Goofs sale
is a real furniture freak show. But if you pass up prices
like this, you belong in a sideshow too.. So, c'mon over

up to fifty percent off. You'll be surprised at just how
ugly ugly can be. And if you don't find anything you like,
it's always good for a few laughs.
