This too:
Ever stared out of your plane window at the jet engine and thought “Hey, that thing would make an AWESOME chair!”? Well, the guys at UK-based furniture design company Fallen Furniture did, and the 737 Cowling Chair is the result.
The chair is made from a genuine Boeing 737 jet engine. It features a polished aluminum swiveling base and a black-leather upholstered interior. There’s no price on the website so chances are that it doesn’t come cheap, but then again, what do you expect? It’s a jet engine! That you can sit in!
So if you want to be the Maverick of your own living room then head on over to their website and place your orders. But don’t forget to order two. One for you, and one for your wingman.

2 meters
(78 inches) tall by 2 meters
(78 inches) wide, and 2 meters
(78 inches) deep. You'd have to take out a wall to get it into your house, because there ain't no way that's fitting through a normal door.

If you can afford that chair, you can afford to get it in the house.
Or, French Doors. Most mansions have a set somewhere.

That chair reminded me of something...
I knew I'd seen a similar design...(though not as ostentatious...)

The doughnut cup is gross and looks like it would create quite the mess trying to dig the doughnut out of the crevasse.
The chair looks like a heavier and less comfortable papasan.

Yes, the donut cup would win a prize for finally creating an effective method to discourage donut eating, and coffee drinking.

My thought was, convenient way to transport coffee and doughnut without needing two hands and/or trying to keep hold of both cup handle and doughnut with one hand and/or dirtying a small plate to hold the doughnut. But congrats to those whose noses are planted firmly in the air and believe it to be beneath them.

Like the cup but love the chair.
It looks like a throne to rule over a tribe of neo-pagan technologists, or whatever steam punk will become when it evolves into the next new thing.
Needs a bigger house.

I'm sure there is there is some assembly required. So you too could have one of your very own jet engine chairs.
I bet it's more comfortable than that bicycle seat you sit on now while watching TV....

FTFY
Because something has to account for the humorless and bitter disposition, and having something metallic with sharp edges jammed up his ass is as good an explanation as any.

OMG Scooter, now you have stumbled onto something useful. Except not the sharp edges, something rubberyish, perhaps shaped like a bullet, about 8-10 inches long and good and wide.
Perhaps it should have a massage element to it.

That does sound like something that could be marketed. Since Bicycle Bill was the inspiration for it, he should be credited for it and it should be called something like a Bicycle Billdo or maybe just Billdo.
It could have many uses, like using it to knead and roll dough simultaneously, stir coffee or maybe even used as a cat toy.

Screw that. If anyone gets credit it's Scooter. The Scootdo. It can be adapted for girl's or boy's bikes. Gynecologist and proctologist recommended.

Reminds me of a very old joke - a group of nuns is bicycling down the street, and all of them are giggling so noticeably that they are attracting the attention of passersby. In spite of the stern looks of the mother superior, they can't help themselves. Finally, the mother superior warns them, "Sisters, if you can't learn to control yourselves, I'm going to have to put the seats back on."

Re: the little message about offending people in your sig line —
I would like to thank you for moving me to the head of the queue and not making me wait.

Nobel Prize? Don't think even a Good Housekeeping seal of approval is warranted.
