   those chairs Look really Kewl but they look hard and uncomfortable like my butt would get sore
   i also like these chairs by yayoi kusama they look more comfy while also flaunting florm over flunction in fact i would say they are Very flormy:

   deadgod, you’re just two steps away from Flarf, methinks.

    I was only joking.

    Look up Flarf on Wiki for a quick reference.

    I admit it’s not actually comparable… hence the two steps. My point was you have this puzzling proclivity and affection for nonsensical compositional progressions which are sort of… well… confounding, even for somebody as strange as me… .

    Note that this behavior is not at all alien to me: I’ve known people (well, two to be precise) with just that sort of addiction. So… I’m not totally unsympathetic.

    But there is a cure… if you’re looking for it?

    (Joking, again.)

    Oh my fucking comfort . . . I love those things, Mimi.

    I bet you’re a fan of Dorothea Tanning’s soft-furniture, as well? Cool stuff.

    burroughs ‘n’ me both

    Owen –
    I am as yet unfamiliar with Tanning’s soft-furniture – will wiki.
    I recently saw one of the Kusama chairs in a show, Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958 – 1968, at the Brooklyn Museum.
    And I have long been a fan of Annette Messager’s dead birds in little hand-knit sweaters :
