The Living Lounge Chair

This marvelous chair by JGreen Design, excellently called the Living Lounge Chair, looks like a regular chair frozen in surprise, owner-caught during its secret nocturnal perambulations. Delightfully Mieville-like (Un-Lun-Dun!) and Burroughs-esque (Naked Lunch, passed through the filter of Cronenberg). $7,500, though, puts owning one well beyond my reach; luckily, $100 of blotter acid and a gin chaser will quickly morph my current chaise longue into a shadowy arachnid monstrosity for 1/750th the price.

It should start kicking in in about twenty minutes or so...

Set and setting, man.

Set and setting.

$100 worth would leave me a babbling fool for a decade or so. (Which, unfortunately, wouldn't be much of a change..)

I caught myself thinking of Beetlejuice, the dining-room scene ("Come mister Tally-man, tally me banana").

But hell, if that's not one gorgeous piece of overpriced furniture!

Excellent catch, Gar. I knew there was something more specific than my examples it reminded me of, but I couldn't think of it. That was it!

Calculator, meet John Brownlee...

(Sorry, I'm in a cranky mood today and not tolerating erroneous web postings. I have a long day ahead of me.)

Ah... consider the possibility that the acid is affecting your mathematics skills.
$7500 / 750 = $10

I didn't go for Beetlejuice right away. I thought of spider-walking Regan.

But then again, I am disturbed.

1/750th? What, you living in Germany or something?

Czech 25!

any chance you'll be sharing the doses?

aw, it has a charming woodringesque quality, like pushpaw and pupshaw

Jim Woodring? I can kind of see that.

@7 Spiderwalking Regan came to my mind first as well.

Looks to me like the chassis for Hedonismbot, from Futurama:
