When you can sit on your tailgate and make the front wheels of your Dodge come off the ground...THEN we'll talk. Until then I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about a little ole' chair.

I would hazard a guess that if you did that Hoss, you had a bed full of concrete working to your advantage

First of all, I did NOT do that. Second, if I did the concrete would definitely weigh heavily in my favor.

Nah. He's hardly been thorny at all recently. Back when he drove a Ford gasser he was much more pesky.

If you ask me, I think I've been quite the gentlemen.

Gentlemen, as in plural???
You must be pretty big then, I would suspect you could lift the front end off the ground as mentioned above

Well, I took the day off yesterday, but then I managed to smash my thumb with a 2.5 lb shop hammer. I don't thing I can make it a week without hurting something. I won't lose my nail, but I can still feel my heartbeat in it! I must be getting clumsy at my old age!

Consider a Herman-Miller

First - I Laughed as well when I saw this - glad you were not hurt!! But what fun, really! Sometimes we need a good "cost-improved" product we take for granted, (such as your chair) to make us take ourselves a bit less seriously! Life it too short to get mad at such a thing...

Interesting to me that an Herman Miller chair was reccommended a while back. I managed to find one of these at a used office-supply warehouse store near Chicago about two years ago. It was the best chair in the place - quite comfortable, thick upholstery-grade black leather seat and back, strong alumunim frame, built like a small tank. No price on it, all dirty, casters that squeaked. I wheeled it up front as asked how much...$50. I took it on the spot.

I later found a slightly updated newer version of the same chair in Marshall Fields on State Street for $1395. I hope I don't break mine - I really would cry!

For the same reason our government pays $600 for a coffee maker, $500 for a hammer, and (This one I saw personally) $600 for a "Quiet-Flush" toilet in a Flag Officer's 'Hospitality Room'.

I think I need to raise the price on my concrete bedliners.
