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.

1/750th? What, you living in Germany or something?
Czech 25!
$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
Jim Woodring? I can kind of see that.
@7 Spiderwalking Regan came to my mind first as well.
any chance you’ll be sharing the doses?
Looks to me like the chassis for Hedonismbot, from Futurama:

aw, it has a charming woodringesque quality, like pushpaw and pupshaw
I didn’t go for Beetlejuice right away. I thought of spider-walking Regan.
But then again, I am disturbed.
It should start kicking in in about twenty minutes or so…
Set and setting, man.
