I must be more old fashioned than I thought. While this looks rather
interesting, I prefer something a little softer for my derriere.

Well, it is artsy - and probably its biggest draw. And may not be as
uncomfortable as you might think - it is contoured although extended
use might prove a bit hard. In that case it would be the perfect
chair to pull out when the inlaws visit.

Even with a soft throw cushion applied, however, the price is very
uncomfortable. I'm sure some freak on Wall street has a dozen ordered
for his office.

I liked the little blurb about using an "organic sheepskin". Do they
make inorganic sheepskins?

Oddly, under the bizarre rules of nomenclature that the FDA requires be
applied to agricultural products, there are.

It's naugahyde, and I prefer mine from free-range naugabeests.

Sure they do. Commonly used to prevent bed sores. Damned sight cheaper
than the real version.

Humanity has so abused the poor little nauga.

As a kid I worked in a furniture store repairing TVs and remember when
couches and chairs began coming in with little tags attached sporting
the Nauga pictures you just linked to. Thanks for the flashback.
I also remember the first Amana RadarRange. Man I feel old...

If you can remember the RadarRange, you *are* old. G Just like me, but
better old, than the alternative.

I still use the Amana Radarange cookbook for several recipes, including
their "very yakky chicken", a favorite of kids and grandkids, as well as
many others!

I could make a killing in dowels. Go figure. sigh

I remember the first Amana Radarange. I also remember seeing a Raytheon
radarange in the galley at the officers' club at the Navy base in Algiers,
Louisiana some time around 1962.

FWIW, Radarange as a brand still exists, although Amana is now just a badge
owned by Whirlpool.

Glad to bring back fun memories.

I had forgotten about the tags. I remembered them after you mentioned
it. Geez, now I'm feeling old too. Thanks guys! LOL

Man, I hadn't seen the dollar drop that far until now. thud


I wish it wasn't as well.
The Aussie$ is only 7.5c off parity at the moment. We're bleeding badly on
export contracts which are almost all written in $US.

We once lived next door to a former EE who worked on developing
the Chain Home Line during WW2 and was quite involved in the
manufacturing of the magnetron tube during and after the war. He
said that soon after the war ended, that he and some guys set up a
magnetron tube in a hallway at his research facility to look
through the wall and down the hallway. It was around 6000 watts
output and had a sufficiently high frequency they could get a
decent reflection off the pelvis of people walking the hallway.
Soon, they could almost always guess whether the person coming
down the hall was male or female by the movement of the pelvis as
they walked.

He also told me that the first RadarRanges had way too much power
and that soon after they were introduced, it was dialed down to
the 800 or so watts. Now, they're up to around 1200 for most
microwaves, but I'd LOVE to have one of the 6000 watt magnetrons
just to see what it could do. grin

You cannot make a stupid kid smart by
handing him a diploma. Schools need standards
to measure the amount of education actually
absorbed by children. Don’t sacrifice the smart
kids to make the dumb ones feel good about themselves.

Make some wildassed gewjaw and put it up for consignment at a hoity
toity shop somewhere in a ritzy neighborhood. Once you sell one,
you'll have a line to your door for more.

I'm really sad that the dollar has dropped against the Canuckistani
