50 Sad Chairs

post by: taz at: 02:31 | 17 comments

I have no idea if this has been around the block or not; I found it via a search that led me to their Greece link on the front page.

I love themed collections like this... It might be fun for us to come up with a theme we like (unbunny) for an ongoing photo project.

Ooh, I forgot to say, also "ABCs and 123s" and signs, at the same site, and other fun stuff. Just look around.

It's provocative political posts like this that are degenerateralizing the warren.

That said, it must be kinda strange walking around looking for letters. I wonder if they are tempted to pull out a spray can for the missing ones.

dodgy! So cool! I think this one should be filed under "Chairs: Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places."

My favorite part of Keaggy's always been the section that showcases rocks shaped like shoes. As my father would say, "It doesn't get any better than that."

taz-very nice. I've been trying to take more pictures (with predicatbly laughable results, but as usual, I wouldn't let my lack of skill get in the way of participating.)

Lovin' this site. Look, MeFi gets a nod here.

iconomy, where's the shoe rocks? (I have a rock fetish.)

I love you, Specklet. The fact that you have a rock fetish doesn't surprise me one little bit.

I love you too, ico.

Well, I suppose some of those look like shoes...

Yeah, I gots rocks all over my abode. Beach-washed granite in the shower, limestone in the living room, basalt in the fireplace, volcanic river rock on the kitchen counter. Windowsills are covered, the fish bowl sports 'em, I even use rocks to prop open my windows.

My friends hate it when I move, because when they say "God! What's in this box, rocks?!" I say yes.

My favorite rocks are in my symmetrical collection. Beautiful little flat circles and ovals. Been working on collecting them for years.

Plus I like driftwood. And I collect birds' nests. The best one is hanging in the breakfast nook: a hanging wren's nest. I watched her build it two springs ago...

I carry in my pocket a beach rock shaped like a lima bean.

For a while, in fact, i had an entire collection of rocks shaped like beans.

Oh, my! I think that's the saddest chair of all. It's like a chair horror flik.

Cool site, I agree. I have a mix CD from Mr and Mrs Keaggy from my first (and probably last) MeFi swap. It's a good one.
