I always said literature help you get a leg up.
…but it doesn’t help typing abilities, apparently.
But if I claim typo, people will probably say I don’t have a leg to stand on.
I love the fact that the two legs you can see are different. They must love that chair.
Or they are just fat…
Naw, man. Its all the heavy reading they do.
I wonder if there is a copy of “Interior Decorarting” on those shelves. In fact its probably propping up the chair.
A lot of chairs come with decorative legs on the front, and plainer ones at the back.
It’s from Pier 1, we sell this chair and yes they have deco legs on front and plain on back. But when we send them home they have ALL their legs…
Looks like they ran out of spare legs to attach to it.
That’s my computer chair! Except mine is three phone books and a lil’ Dex Plus directory duct taped together and slightly less ugly upholstery.
This quip is as old as the hills and twice as dusty. “They don’t have a leg to stand on.”
Another great example of the vanity of “being original”. 3 pieces of wood just took the simple and straightforward approach, went to the shop to get a proper cut and color and got promoted legs. But the 4th one? “I want to be paper and l want to be books, I want something more meaningful!” After being beaten to a pulp, pressed, pierced, tattooed, tied and wrapped, the fourth piece finally realized its calling was with its friends all along…
It used to be commonplace for some furniture manufacturers to make the front legs decorative and the rear legs (which are often in a corner or behind a table) less decorative. I would wager that both visible wooden legs are original equipment.
And to think he could have used any of the obsolete video tapes lining the room.
The scary part is the purple book – a murder story by Dick Francis. I wonder if the kludger used it for inspiration?
Cute chair. Hope they actually fix it (or they live near me and put it on the curb).
i think they are using the mein komphy chair to hold it up
Not to mention The Bible.
Seriously, don’t mention The Bible: you’ll instigate a flame war.
I thought I was the only person who noticed that. Guess not.
It is jerry rig not jury rig. Just sayin’.
OK, we managed to stabilize the chair. Now, let’s look up the telephone number of the chair repair center… … …….. …. D’oh !!!
