Getting The Chair

While Paris is often associated with the Eiffel Tower and romance, it is also known for the metal folding chair.

    The commentary on this post reminds me of that old “Bloom County” comic where they’re watching TV and they can’t figure out whether it’s the news or a war movie, and someone finally snaps and says “Can someone please tell me whether or not I should be enjoying this?”

      my wife grew up in lynwood, literally two or three minutes away from luther east. I still have to drive by it to visit the in-laws.

    While I don’t understand the artistic aesthetics of kneeling on a metal folding chair, I dig the silver lame’ tie. Keepin it simple with the denim shirt…?

  5. emm says:

    jeez, id make fun of this, but im thinking that maybe the guy doesnt have any legs… why else would someone pose like this??!!

  6. Silverfish says:

    HEY GUYS. I DON’T KNOW IF HE HAS LEGS OR NOT.

    Can someone confirm if he has legs or not? Because I’m really not sure if he has legs or not. I mean because, you know, if he doesn’t have legs then maybe I shouldn’t laugh even though this pose is silliness regardless of leg status. But I’m pretty sure he might not have legs. It’s a distinct possibility that he is sans-legs. He might just be legless, in case nobody thought of that before. Just saying.

    If we’re going to embrace the metal folding chair as necessary to the ambiance of the setting…wouldn’t “girl on the chair” be an easier sell? Or is it just me?

    They were invited to Marney’s Thanksgiving dinner, but had to bring a regulation size chair.

    Was this the photographer’s brilliant idea to make the man look taller? Seriously, where do they find some of these “professional” photographers is what I want to know.

    • Sara says:

      I bet they found the photographer at the same place they found the ‘realistic’ Eiffel Tower background.

  10. Frank says:

    He doesn’t have a leg to stand on!
    HAHAHAHAHAHA!
    Thank you. Thank you. I’m here all week.

    Hey thats the High School that i graduated from in 2001! How come they never had props like that when i was there?! lol…I guess the back drops never change though!

  12. girlygirl says:

    why the chair? Wasn’t the Eiffel Tower enough? Too many props take away from the focus – that hair! Awesome!

  13. Zoran says:

    Ugh, I liked! So clear and positively.

  14. Missy says:

    I think he crashed the Small World party – since he was taller than his date, they tried to make him sit on the chair, but he rebelled as the photo was taken.

    Way to stick it to the man, you rebel you!

  15. Nina says:

    OMGOSH. I gasped when I saw this. I was like =O I know him from youtube!

  16. Flim Springfield says:

    I am relieved he has legs. The theme, “A Small World”, the backdrop, the chair, it’s too much! The poor lighting did give us an aura of mystery that will last forever. It takes a brave man to wear a tie like that. Let no one give you grief over it.

    oh hey BarrettTV! :)

    Is the issue that he was too tall to get him, the girl, and the eiffel tower in the shot?
